Bliss n Eso - Whatever Happened To The DJ lyrics

Oh lordy, good god
What ever happened to the DJ
Have you seen him?
Shit, people treat him like he in a museum
Acting like he ain't built this bitch
With the 1 2 3, like this

We jumped on a plane and we flew to America
First tour there, and we were new to the area
Hit every state and saw a lot of shows
Supposedly the home of Hip-Hop
Well I don’t know
‘Cause we saw a ton of rappers
But it totally seems strange
That every single one of them
Was missing a DJ but, if you’re missing a DJ
Then you’re pretty much a
Karaoke singer, man
And that’s on the real mate
What happened to the cuts? What
Happened to the mix?
What happened to the juggle? What
Happened to the tricks?
Shit! The DJ was the god damn man
In Hip-Hop he's a good damn band
Now kids these days, part of the new school
You ask them about Kool HERC
They be like Kool- Who? Ah well, there ya go
Shit, Angel Haze hadn’t heard of Biggie
Till a couple fucking years ago
Fuck CDJ’s, stop being absurd
Real DJ spins, 33 and a third
Yeah, let’s give hope to the people
Save the culture
Bring the dope through the needle

What ever happened to the DJ
Have you seen him?
Shit, people treat him like he in a museum
Acting like he ain't built this bitch
With the 1, 2, 3, like this
DJ, where’d he go?
People act like they don’t know
It all started from scratch
Let’s set it straight
With a kick and a snare, yeah
Them's the breaks "D D DJ"
"Izm" what ever happened to the DJ?
"Baddest DJ in the land"
What ever happened to the DJ? "1 2 3"
What ever happened to the DJ?
Acting like he ain't built this bitch
With the 1 2 3, like this

Damn right, better give me lee-way
‘Cause, I don’t go nowhere without my Dj
Yeah, BnE handle the rap
And DJ Izm is "the man on the wax"
Turntables get blessed when you touch it
‘Cause all you do on the daily is cut sick
Don’t believe me? Watch and see
The whole crowd shit bricks when
He drops the beat
Yeah, that’s how it makes you feel
Sucker DJ can't fake the real
It’s pretty hard to find a true mastermind
Like Q-Bert, A Trak or Mix Master Mike
"Yo DJ, " can you play my track?
"Yo DJ, " you know where it’s at
"Yo DJ, " you got balls like boulders
"Smacking ya head dead off
Ya motherfucking shoulders"

"Go and do some stupid shit"
Ayo, Izm man can I have a tickle on the tech
Please,? "Don't touch the turntable" "yeah"
"Don't touch the record" Why not, mate?
"You're going to ruin it" Alright then
You ready?
"Now you're ready to go?" "I'm ready to go
Now come on, crank this mother fucker up"

What ever happened to the DJ
Have you seen him?
Shit, people treat him like he in a museum
Acting like he ain't built this bitch
With the 1, 2, 3, like this
DJ, where’d he go?
People act like they don’t know
It all started from scratch
Let’s set it straight
With a kick and a snare, yeah
Them's the breaks

Yeah, yeah, what up it's the legendary
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, dJ
Hurricane of the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC i'm
Representing Hollis, Queens, New York
And I'm chilling with my homies Bliss n Eso
Save the culture support the DJ you heard

What ever happened to the DJ
Have you seen him?
Shit, people treat him like he in a museum
Acting like he ain't built this bitch
With the 1, 2, 3, like this
DJ, where’d he go?
People act like they don’t know
It all started from scratch
Let’s set it straight
With a kick and a snare, yeah
Them's the breaks
"Why these motherfucking DJs don't scratch on
These rap records no more?
What ever happened to the DJ?
"'Cause they can't scratch, man they
Get up there on stage
Man act like they gon' scratch"
What ever happened to the DJ?
"They ain't scratching nothing but
They ass" "yeah, i guess"

"What do you think I should do then?"
"Just start tearing up shit"
