Question bout DJ's

I have realized that DJ's on the radio and even at fetes have a trumendous effect on an artist career. I mean without out dem we wont know whats out. Theyre job is to release the tune dem from artist from everywhere. I should say bring it to the publics ear. My beef is why all of dem playing the same sh!t? The same tunes ova and ova? Shouldnt they all be different from eachother? There are soooooo many other tunes with the same or better quality.

On radio some DJ's listen to requests and you can call up & make one. Tunes with higher ratings by the "public" generally will get more play & dominate the airwaves.

If we're talking about soca here, there are a few programs that dedicate their time slot to unpopular, new, & or requested music.

In a fete a DJ does not have as much freedom when it comes to what he/she plays.
