Here it is part one of the official VJ street list on the best DJ characters from movies. Until recently DJ’s were always in the background. Now that they demand the limelight we felt it was only right to point out the pioneers in regards to movie characters.
10. Darell Williams- In the mix – Usher
Although this movie was not the best movie around earning a less than impressive 14% on rotten tomatoes. Its about a DJ that becomes a bodyguard and probably shouldn’t have. The fact that the main character is a DJ and its played by a musician Darell makes the list.
9. DJ Evil – Zoolander – Justin Theroux
What is a movie without a fight scene? Then what would this list be with out a fight scene involving a DJ. Thank you to Zoolander and DJ Evil we have that fight scene.
8. Bilal – House Party – Martin Lawrence
House Party one and two were huge movies in the hip hop community. There are countless memorable scenes and cameos in the movie. Martin Lawrence was not the star that we know him to be when these movies came out but he had some great lines that could have possibly lead him there.
7. DJ Request- The Goods – Craig Robinson
Although he didn’t get a lot of screen time, when he did it was hilarious. He does give into any request’s even though his name is DJ Request and has a mantra that he repeats to remind him self of the power a DJ poses.
6. Chris the glove – Breakin – Chris the Glove Taylor
Breakin was another movie that was instrumental in exposing the masses to hip hop culture. Although Ice-T was the more recognizable entertainer in these videos, the beats were provided by Chris the Glove. INspiring kids to be DJ’s themselves Chris the Glove is the first person on this list that was actually a working DJ
