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

 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.
