Priorities.
Becky insisted that everyone wanted to hear Naughty By Nature “Feel Me Flow” and would dance to it.She was overruled.

But WHYYYYYYYYY?!!?
If you’re too cheap to tip, don’t go out to eat. If you’re too cheap to pay for coat check, don’t go out dancing.

The answer is no. I will not play Gimmie That Nut by Eazy E in the middle of a Deep House set… @crapsaidtothedj #fb
