Money for Nothing: The Lucrative World of Club Appearances
I am here to watch Lil Jon do his job. His job is to party. He got this job thanks to a decade of nightlife anthems and a hard-earned rep—abetted by Dave Chappelle’s indelible impression—as a constitutionally hyped-up wild man; he’ll often appear at this club two, three, even four times a week. At one point, I ask him, Why do these crowds keep coming to see you? He replies softly, “I guess people think Lil Jon is the perfect person to party with.”
