AND THE BEAT GOES ON.... (MY STORY)

[SHoW! (A.T.M.)]

WHEN SOME PEOPLE SAY TO ME " YO SHoWTIME!, YOU BE GETTING CRAZY ON THE TABLES KID....," ITS' A GREAT COMPLIMENT, BUT AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THE NAME IS SHoWTIME!, MOST KNOW ME AS SHoW!, BUNK, SPINNIN-ALL-DAY, NEWS AT ELEVEN, BRICK TOP… I HAVE A LOT OF NAMES… BUT AS YOU KNOW OR DON'T KNOW… YES… I SPIN RECORDS. GOOD ONES. DON'T MATTER WHAT… MY CORE IS HIP-HOP. OUTSIDE OF THE REALM I SPIN ALTERNATIVE, SLOW JAMZ, JAZZ, SOUL, AS WELL AS OTHERS. I REALLY LIKE THIS PASSION… NO NOT BECAUSE A LOT OF WOMEN ADD ME TO A DAMN MYSPACE PAGE, AND NO NOT BECAUSE I GET A LOT OF FREE SH*T FROM CERTAIN ARTISTS. THIS IS A PASSION FOR ME BECAUSE TO MOVE THE CROWD ANY WHICH WAY I WANT TO IS A GREAT FEELING. THE DREAM WAS AT 16, THE KINGS WAXED THE LAKERS… SHAQ FOULED OUT AND KOBE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD I THINK 30 OR 40 POINTS. MY MOM CALLS ME AS I WALK THROUGH THE DOOR AND SAYS... "IT'S YOUR TIME." I WATCHED ONE GUY MIX RECORDS LIVE AT AN OLD RECORD STORE (SHOUT OUT TO ANGEL OF BENTON RECORDS) AND HE WAS CUTTIN' AND SCRATCHIN' AND MANIPULATIN' THE PEOPLE IN THE STORE PLAYIN' FAT JOE'S LEAN BACK… WITH NO HEADPHONES… NONE!!!! THAT WAS WHEN I WAS 16… NOW I'M HEARIN HIM ON THE RADIO AND HE'S AN ASSASSIN. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS, LEMME WALK IT OUT AND HAVE THE STREETS GET YOUR ATTENTION… I'M USUALLY TALKIN BOUT ANYTHING FROM CLASSIC HITS TO THUMPIN JOINTS AND THAT'S WHAT I AM HEAR 4. MY STYLE IS MY STYLE, BUT MY IDEAS COME FROM CERTAIN DJ'S LIKE H VIDAL, CHRISTION, TRAUMA, 3RD LEG GREG, COZ, "THE KING" JB, QUEST, RHINESTONE, KAYE DUNAWAY, DOC D, SPINATIK, MAD LINX, STRIZZO, LIL KEE, QC PARTYSTARTERS, AND YES... EVEN BUCKWHEAT... PLUS, A LOT OF OTHERS. I'M GREATFUL FOR ALL OF THEM, EVEN IF I HAVEN'T MET MOST OF THEM. MY BROTHER WALKS ME IN THROUGH THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND HE SAYS "ARE YOU READY?" THE REST IS HISTORY. MIXTAPE/ MIXSHOW DJ? TOUR DJ? CLUB DJ? OFFICIAL DJ? YEAH, MY RESUME HAS TIME TO GROW, BUT GRINDTIME COMES WITH EACH LABEL OF SUCCESS. THERE WAS ONE TIME I THOUGHT I SHOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN THIS… BUT WHEN I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM MY BOY VINCE HE WAS LIKE "MAN…YOU CAME THIS FAR AND WORKED THIS HARD AND DONE PLENTY OF GOOD DAMN SHOWS AND HAVE THEM UNDER YOUR BELT… THE QUESTION HATERS WILL ASK THEMSELVES IS THIS: WHO THE F*CK CAN STOP YOU KNOW."
