A-Trak Shares His Opinions on Celebrity DJs
There’s been quite a bit of talk lately about celebrity DJs and whether they should be considered “real DJs.” While the debate has been going on for years, last month’s routine video from Craze helped rekindle the discussion, and recent interviews with T-Pain and comedian Russell Peters sparked controversy.
The latest notable artist to speak on the issue is A-Trak. During an interview with VladTV, the Fool’s Gold co-founder shared his opinions on celebrity DJs, specifically Paris Hilton. He also discussed the explosion of EDM in the US and how it’s resulted in different types of DJs.

Comedian Russell Peters Talks DJing, Calls Out ‘Fake DJs’
Comedian Russell Peters has been DJing for 30 years and even used to compete in battles.
During a recent interview with Los Angeles’ Power 106, the Toronto native talked about his background as a DJ and what he thinks about the new generation. Watch the video above for some cool stories and a couple laughs.
Also, be sure to check out Russell’s performance on DJcity’s “MikiDz Show” from 2011.
T-Pain Says EDM DJs Are Hurting DJ Culture
T-Pain is famous for singing on hit singles but the Florida native was actually a DJ before he became a singer and currently gigs on a regular basis.
During a recent interview with Hot 97’s “Ebro in the Morning,” the two-time Grammy winner spoke his mind about the current state of DJing, saying that EDM DJs are hurting the culture:
“You know who’s hurting DJs? House DJs. EDM DJs … If you’re a DJ and you can’t rock a crowd from someone else’s computer then you’re not a real DJ.”
Although it sounds like a generalization, we presume he wasn’t talking about every single EDM DJ, but rather those who pre-record their sets (David Guetta and Paris Hilton were named specifically).
Note: the section about DJing begins at nine-and-a-half minutes in.
T-Pain also discussed his current label situation, his career in comparison with Lil Jon’s and his recent performance without auto-tune that went viral.

Deadmau5 Says He’ll DJ with Paris Hilton for 2 Million
Yes, even deadmau5 has a price.

Watch the TMZ video above to see mau5 discuss the socialite-turned-DJ outside a fine-dining establishment.
UPDATE: deadmau5 tweeted Monday night that he was just joking:
No. I will not be sharing a stage with paris hilton. It's a joke. Relax. Back to my vacation.
