Bliss N Eso - Whatever Happened To The DJ lyrics

[Intro] Oh lordy, good god [Chorus (Condensed)] What ever happened to the DJ Have you seen him? sh**, people treat him like he in a museum Acting like he ain't built this b**h With the 1—2—3, like this [Verse 1: Bliss & Eso] 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? sh**! 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 sh**, Angel Haze hadn’t heard of Biggie till a couple f**ing years ago f** CDJ’s, stop being adhered Real DJ spins, 33 and a third Yeah, let’s give hope to the people Save the culture, bring the dope through the needle [Chorus (Extended 1)] What ever happened to the DJ Have you seen him? sh**, people treat him like he in a museum Acting like he ain't built this b**h 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" "[?]" 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 b**h With the 1—2—3, like this [Verse 2: Bliss & Eso] Damn right, better give me lee-way ‘Cause I don’t go nowhere without my Dj Yeah, B.n.E 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 sh** bricks when he drops the beat Yeah, that’s how it makes you feel s**er 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?
