The concept of having a "Gold" raving - By DJ Jayesh Mitha

I think that it’s very important that you are all made aware of this concept. When Gesh and Todd asked to me write about this, I thought it was very appropriate, since I was the one who introduced them to the idea of a “gold” raving.

Having “gold” means that you have come across some information that would devastate the person you have it on. It would be like knowing a deep dark secret that that person has. It’s the type of thing people would write in their diaries, or share with only close and trusted friends. It’s the type of thing that if everyone knew, would really ruin, embarrass and destroy their social interactions. For example, let’s say that I knew that someone lied about having a girlfriend, but everyone else believed.

What to do once you have got “gold”:

Never just use it! It must be saved for those really rare occasions when it would do the most damage. It is the type of thing that more often than not will never be mentioned by a professional raver. Why? Because we have the ability to draw on the situation for ravings and diss people in that fashion. We would never find ourselves in a place where we didn’t have a comeback. BUT for instances when this does happen, then you may use it.

Don’t share it with some, share it with all! In other words, don’t tell some of your friends what the “gold” is that you have. Keep it secret, as the less people that know about it, the more effective it will be when you use it. For example think of a crowd of 10 people, now imagine that 5 of them know the “gold” before you divulge it. Now imagine the type of reaction you would get from the crowd if only 2 people knew about!

I’m sure you all have heard of the comedian, Russell Peters? In one of his shows he talks about how some guy called him a f***en bl*wj*b! He goes on to say that “can you imagine being called a f***en bl*wj*w? Do you realise that if someone calls you that, there is no good comeback?!!” Well if he had “gold” on that person that would have been the comeback that he could have used.

To summarise, keep “gold” a secret. Do not share it with your friends. And don’t be drawn into using it when people diss your family or mom etc. Rise to the occasion and just know that one day when you do play it, it will devastate that person.
