From what I know, they got most of this right. Which means more people know (or should know) about DJ Jazzy Jeff than meets the eye. I'm watching him spin right now on Twitter. The perfect DJ. I think Green Lantern is more of an executionist (feel me) than a DJ. HE CAN ROCK A PARTY. But the beauty is in the details with Green. Jeff is a traditional... no... THE traditional DJ.
