I have to agree with number one. Who gives a damn about it???!!!

But, in despite of it, rest in peace, Dj AM.

Ugh, these stupid names. DJ-Frank would even sound better...DJ-Ztrip, Jay-Z, Diddy, blah, blah, blah. What a joke.

Stage names, just stage names. They thought these names could be cool. It is the only explanation I could find. Hehehe.

Wow, they still aren't booking a real DJ for this slot? DJ AM was a horrible DJ -- ask any dance music producer out there. He only got the gig because of his long term relationship with drug dealers who had been financing clubs he played in over the years. So sad. I guess you live by the pill, you die by the pill.

Z Trip isn't that bad of a DJ, but the #1 DJ in America? That list is very flawed if you look at it.

Hey #7 you are just probably one of those haters that has no clue about music. And you are the one probably getting coked up to all that trance music... AM was an unreal DJ that played everything. Anyone can mix two songs. To do what he did as an artist was unbelievable to watch.
