Sunday's (November 26) altercation between G-Unit artist Young Buck and Atlanta's DJ Will has prompted an outraged reaction from many DJs throughout the country.
As SOHH previously reported, Atlanta's WHTA Hot 107.9 radio station has pulled all Young Buck records from their rotation following an incident at Club Nocturnal on Sunday, when Buck (born David Darnell Brown) got into a physical conflict with a DJ after he played The Game's "It's Okay (One Blood)." Now it appears that Interscope/G-Unit and the music industry as a whole may have a bigger problem, since hundreds of DJ's are currently preparing for a telephone conference that will decide what will be done in response to the incident.
"DJs are disgusted on what happened. Cats are disgusted right now, as a whole," Tony Neal, founder of the Core DJ's told SOHH exclusively. "I'm sure after hearing Game say his beef with 50 was ended on BET, that was enough to say 'alright I get to play this record whenever I want to play it.' Had it been me playing the Game record and Young Buck saying to my audience that I deal with every week, that right there is a conflict to me, " Neal continued. "I might say something back, I might say 'fuck you nigga' and play the record again."
"All that could've been avoided by not saying nothing. Or having someone at the beginning of the night, your publicist say, 'listen we'd appreciate if you don't play these records.' On our Shade 45 show they tell us upfront no D-Block, no Fat Joe, and if you can't do that you can't play your mix."
Neal's organization has over 300 members, all of whom take their motto "The Core DJs... for DJs by DJs" to heart. Although DJ Will is a member of a different DJ crew, the World Famous Superfriends, a Core DJ "All DJ" conference call is beeing held tonight (November 30) to decide the fate of Young Buck, and perhaps other "beefing rappers" who've caused problems.
"I'd be looking crazy if I didn't say anything. First you said something out of line in a man's house, then you put your hands on him. What the fuck is the next step? The only motherfucker that can stop the onslaught now is Will. Other than that, it's all out. We are all for one right now," Neal told SOHH.
Neal says Sunday evening's incident is just the latest in a string of conflicts between DJs and artists. He lists exchanges between Busta Rhymes and DJ Big Gee in the Bahamas, Fat Joe and DJ Epps in Miami and Benzino and Funkmaster Flex all as precursors to the current scandal. In this case, many DJ's are finally deciding that enough is enough.
"We aren't hurting for music to play, we'll just have to move on to something else. I'm with the DJ. The DJ is justifiable. He didn't do nothing wrong to the cat but play a fucking record. It's a fucking record man. That's it," Neal told SOHH.
While the Core DJ's will make a final decision tonight, another source told SOHH that Young Buck's actions Sunday night may result in a nationwide G-Unit boycott that can significantly harm the company. Sources at Hot 107.9 have also told SOHH that DJ Will is not speaking about the incident publicly because he may take legal action.

Rappers need DJ's more than they need a record deal. It doesn't matter how hot your record is, if it ain't spinnin nowhere, it aint selling. Either way you look at it, this is gonna hurt for G-Unit.Originally Posted by xXME UNITXx
karma's a bitch...it looks like game won this battle LOL
Both Young Buck and the DJ are bitches. Buck's a bitch for trying to dictate what music get played in the club. That's some hoe shit beating up a DJ 'cause he plays the music you don't like. And the DJ's a bitch for banning Young Buck and trying to use his influence to get other DJs to ban Buck.
Hip-hop today = filled with bitches
How so? It is not that serious, for you (talking about Buck) to be jumping on folks, simply because they play songs by an artist he don't like or have beef with. Can we say ignorant and just plain stupid. He could have taken his behind outside, or went to another establishment. Instead of beating up on DJ's, he needs to worry about how his album and career is going to end up. As of late, G Unit has not been fairing so well. SMH ignorant idiot.Originally Posted by serious-flow
Maybe Buck needs to be taught a lesson. Since he wants to dictate what records get played around him, then the DJs don't need to spin any of his product.Originally Posted by Blackman
