Music Review: Bust A Move - Young MC



tempo: 118 bpm

bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm

the DJ’s take: I would consider Bust A Move about as essential as it gets whether you’re a dj or the Lord of the Playlist. Yes, it’s corny and played out, but it’s fun, the guitar riff is infectious, the drum break at ~2:43 in the video is sick, and it consistently gets people moving. Plus, Highly recommended.

If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with untitled 08 09.06.2014 - Kendrick Lamar.

Cool interview in Rolling Stone on the 20th anniversary of the song's release in 2009, where the artist reflects on the impact his crossover hit had on hiphop.

ROCKSTAR - DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch

tempo: 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #1 in our chapter 51 mix (made in Logic Pro X ): Big bass, so I had to be strategic about where to transition out and into Rihanna's Work . A little more of an in-depth look, plus some thoughts on its shelf life in a dj's rotation: Bottom line, when nightlife at college bars picks up again, this will likely be in heavy rotation. Some other key-compatible tracks: Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz Public Service Announcement - Jay-Z Con Calma - Daddy Yankee, Snow River - Eminem, Ed Sheeran Bella y Sensual - Romeo Santos, Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam In My Bed (So So Def Remix) - Dru Hill Gold Digger - Kanye West ft.

Bitches N Marijuana - Chris Brown, Tyga ft. ScHoolboy Q

Speed: 98 bpm The DJ's Take: People may complain that Chris Brown and Tyga keep coming out with tiny variations of the same song. I think it's smart - encourage dj's to play three or four of your singles in a row, and then mash them up on soundcloud without having to worry whether or not they sound right together. Mix with tracks like Loyal , Ayo , I Don't F**k With You , Team , and U Know What's Up , and you've got a key-compatible 15 to 20 minute set that should keep things moving.
