He isn't that great of a dj..... i think his death is just hyped up because he was already supposed to be dead

DJ AM has been around the LA scene for awhile. Although I do not personally know him, I have friends that are friends with him. This is sad news for me. I liked the shit he did with Travis.

What kind of music did he DJ? I have never heard of him in my life... My homegirl just told me that he was Christina Aguilera's husband. I didn't even know that, LOL.

He rose to popularity by dating Nicole Richie...

He continued to make news because he collaborated with Travis Barker.

He is a good DJ. He was friends with my friend, and I just talked to him and he tripping out, but they have always had good things to say about him.

One of the few Djs to still spin Vinyl, not Cds. He did alot of popular events, because of his celeb status.

Fucking weird though... you get a new lease on life... and what the fuck... really strange... final destination indeed

Ohhh, he did vinyl? Good. I was about to say, "Why the fuck would I care about another DJ who pressed buttons in a computer?" I mean, I'm not really into the type of music he DJed (from what I saw in that video), but I appreciate the fact that he did vinyl.

Computer dj's? Well programs like serato are cool in my opinion... takes away from spending most of your time looking for the next track and lets you focus more on the transitions and mixing things up way better, replacing hi hats and all that...

Just accept evolution Nica lol

I heard that DJing is about the music and the vibe not about having cases of vinyl?

Hahahaha, I haven't and I won't! Why do you think I'm still only shooting film photography? Hahahaha. I just love records, period. Collectin' em... The way they feel. I love going to soul/reggae nites and asking the selecters if I can look through their selection and making requests.

Just make a set list before your gig and you should be fine... That's what a lot of the selecters/DJs I know do!

Vynil is wonderful, i have my collection... but i mean for gigs... Computer programs such as serato allow you to do the saaame thing.. You can still use your tables and VYNIL!!!! Just makes it that much easier no having to carry around crates of vynil..

i like vinyl and all but sometimes i'd rather play an MP3 than wear down a 40-year old 45 that's worth a few hundred dollars.
