Wale believes that DJ's aren't respected for their skills anymore, just their level of fame.
Man.. I really wish DJs still broke records

DJs used to be reluctant to play stuff too early. Now ,they scared to play it if it doesn't have YouTube numbers . Long live #auxchordBAE

The rapper Isn't more important than the DJ. The DJ isn't more important than the people. "Just my thoughts "

Hiphop should celebrate DJs 4 their timing,knowledge of NEW and old music ,their reinterpretations of familiar songs.NOT their IG followers

DJing an art form .PERIOD. It's not a popularity contest not a "press play and get paid"grab. Express ya thoughts/ relay your vibe sonically

Honestly? has 0 to do with vinyl. Vinyl jus icing on ,Feels smoother. I Was talkin more psychological/instinctual mixin.,NOW that's an art! https://t.co/fzdRC9TLGW

If you are a DJ and don't consider yourself an artist.... your not a DJ. No two DJ sets should be alike ❄️

Afterwards, Wale got into it with a fan, who said that the DMV rapper doesn't respond to sneak disses enough.
The follower also brought up J. Cole's "False Prophets" song, where the Dreamville boss seemed to talk about how bitter Wale is.
As far as DJs go, do you agree with Wale's opinion?
