Cot damn I should’ve quoted you before you edited that shyt. I saw what you posted first breh
Breh it’s like this, I actually agree with some of your points, but you was flat out wrong on the “folks didn’t party in the south like that until the early morning” shyt. I clearly said there was 24 hour clubs in the 70s and 80s in Atlanta, what you think Club 112 was? The old old 112 in the Disco Kroger plaza was an anytime thing. And that shyt had been open for over a decade before anyone outside the city even heard about it. And Bourbon St been a thing since forever and fukk south beach, Coloredtown (Overtown) in Miami been a strip since the 20’s back when the Black community in Dade was just a bunch of Geechi ass nikkas and a few Bahamaians. fukk is you really saying breh? How you miss that? House music didn’t develop in the south like that, I’ll give you that, but it’s not for the reasons you and others are saying. House music and gay dudes go hand in hand, Midtown Atlanta was just as gay in the 70’s as it now, before the high rises it was a 24 hour gay club district. Add that up and I’m not seeing what you saying patna.
All i did was ADD to it, I didn't take anything away. What I added was about south beach, and emphasizing "different types", and "amounts"
You are still missing my point!
You are just naming certain areas, I'm talking about the WHOLE CITY!
If you just look at Manhattan, you are talking about at least 50 nightclubs, once you include the boroughs, the number would be at least 100 nightclubs. Then when you include the block parties that used to happen, it's clear to see there is huge difference between the places you named, and NYC in the 70's, and early 80's.
That is a lot of nightclubs, and all bringing something different to the table. This will cause competition, and that competition is what brings different styles of djing, which then contributes to the different styles that came out from that time. If a dj is known for playing certain songs, and he is constantly filling up the club,a label will notice this, and do more music like that, and things grow from there. That's not including the different styles of djing. Like I mentioned in my previous post, smooth mixing using the pitch control, and using the eq in the mix, came from gay dj's. Dj PLummer went to a gay club, saw them doing that, and he brought it to the straight clubs. Breaks being a major part of the party came from Herc, and then that eventually started spreading to other dj's throughout the city, until hip hop music got its own clubs.
Again, my point is because there were so many nightclubs, along with block parties, where you can party all night to the day(not including some of the best drugs), it changes the scope of things. If I party at one club, get tired of the dj, I can go to another one around the same area for another dj. If I want to hear something different, I can go to another club to hear that dj. You can literally do this for every hour throughout the night, and still have more nightclubs to visit the next week. If you are too young to get into the nightclubs, you can still party at the park jams or rec centers, and still do your thing. That is the difference I'm talking about.
