Doo Wop Airs New Video Against Lil Wayne's Remarks

After last week's touted video made by New York veteran deejay Doo Wop, the legend heard Lil Wayne's reaction on DJ Drama's show, and still has an axe to grind.

Doo Wop explained to HipHopDX, "The first time he said that foul shit about mixtape deejays , it pissed me off, but my reaction was more like, 'This cat is really buggin'. So i was said, 'Okay, let me just have a little fun and put together a video on behalf of the 'mixtape deejay so the public could see how his own bosses credit the deejay for making Lil Wayne.'

The popularity and reaction of the video, which aired on HipHopDX last Friday, came as a shock to the veteran. "I really didn't expect the all the feedback i received for that video. Whether it was good or bad, at least it sparked conversation and debates on numerous sites and [message boards]. So on Saturday, when his so-called apology audio [from DJ Drama's radio show] was released, the people who were defending him starting saying, 'See, he didn't mean it like that.' So obviously, they still didn't get it. I understand if someone is too young to know the impact that mixtapes have had since its inception, but damn, if you're savvy enough to pimp your MySpace page then you should be able to do a little research about the music you claim to love so much. That apology was as honest as the ones by Dog the Bounty Hunter and [Michael Richards], if you ask me."

This time, the editing reminds viewers that in his biggest hit, "Juicy," icons like the Notorious B.I.G. paid homage to the likes of Luvbug Starski and Kid Capri for making Hip Hop accessible to him. The video editing, which also includes images of E.T., George Bush, DMX and Michael Richards, features an original song produced by Cookin' Soul, with a rap by Doo Wop, incorporating quotes from Wayne's statements, as well as topical references such as 50 Cent's house burning last Friday.

Looking at his own track-record, the deejay closed, "I ain't losing no sleep at night because i ain't compromising my manhood for this kid. I dont need Wayne for shit. When has a rapper ever hosted my tape? That's the problem, he feels like deejays need him 'cause there's a lot of cats that ride his dick. That ain't me, and it never will be. I've been touring the world for over 12 years without a radio show or an album. I've been fending for myself without a deejay crew, so this is nothing. I got bars , experience and a creative enough mind to scrap with anybody in this game."

DJ Doo Wop Responds "Fuck Lil Wayne!" With Video

DJ Doo Wop is one of the most famed mixtape deejays in Hip Hop history. His '95 Live tape was deemed as one of Hip Hop's 10 best by Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists. Presently working as a deejay for Guru, Doo Wop, leader of Da Bounce Squad, took offense to Lil Wayne's comments, including, "Fuck mixtape deejays!" to a Foundation Magazine writer earlier this week.

Doo Wop told HipHopDX, "Basically Lil Wayne made a statement disrespecting all mixtape deejays. I understand if he's sour at a few dudes who exploit the game by leaking too many songs from your upcoming album on their CD, but that doesn't justify him shitting on the whole culture." The veteran added, "Lil Wayne wants to separate himself from the very thing that helped him become a household name, and it needed to be addressed. He made a million songs and freestyles last year, but the radio mostly played the commercial releases. How the hell do you think the rest of his joints got heard?"

The New York mainstay defended his peers and made an enduring case for the mixtape, in a message directed to Wayne. "Nowadays the game is what it is. Downloading is at an all time high and CD sales at an all time low. So even if mixtapes didn't exist, sales still wouldn't be what they should. Don't blame the deejay, homey. Thank the deejay. You don't hear 50 Cent shitting on mixtapes. He's a product of it, and never denies it." Doo Wop was among the top deejays instrumental in 50 Cent's rediscovery, with a collaborative freestyle appearing on 2002's Guess Who's Back?

The New York deejay has put his acclaimed mixing abilities to new mediums in a video just released (posted below). The edited clip, which includes various punch-ins of commentary against Wayne, along with an array of images of the work he's done, shows adoptive father and Cash Money Records CEO Birdman commending deejays for their hard work at the Core DJs Retreat two months ago.

Narrative editing of interview clips and song excerpts goes on to mock Lil Wayne for the leaked pictures of him kissing Baby on the mouth, hypocritical statements about New Orleans awareness after Hurricane Katrina, and drug addiction.

The clip closes with Ronald "Slim" Williams, co-founder of the Cash Money label, affirming mixtape deejays at the same retreat, "Y'all created a monster in Lil Wayne."
