I know Lex Luger got into the EDM game for a minute too. I think he did a joint project with A-Trak a couple years back.

edm is a ponzi scheme when ppl in vegas realize a single bottle of grey goose isnt worth $1000 the whole thing will collapse

There’s a direct line from the 2008 financial crisis to quantitative easing and low interest rates to the Silicon Valley VC bubble to San Francisco real estate prices to burning man to EDM

lol i paid $50 to see waka play drai's in vegas 2 years ago - after like 3 hours of warmup DJs he came out and did hard in the paint, no hands, two other songs and then just hung out behind his DJ for 45 minutes occasionally shouting in to his mic while the guy played a very adequate mix of EDM and rap music

i didnt buy any bottles but i probably had a vodka on the rocks that ran me $20
― gr8080, Thursday, 15 February 2018 22:07 (six years ago) link
was the crowd into it
― mh, Thursday, 15 February 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link
i think everyone was glad to see waka, myself included
― gr8080, Thursday, 15 February 2018 22:14 (six years ago) link
the classic las vegas performance that’s really more of an appearance

i saw waka in new york right before the transition ... he also appeared at a release party for a justly forgotten wyclef jean mixtape that was the best release party i went to my entire time in new york, waka was on a platform to the right repping queens freestyle battling over the "love sosa" instrumental against folks representing brooklyn on a platform on the other side of the room, we were in the middle and i was drunk

awesome
also any musical artist that can get in with the EDM festival circuit and/or the jam band/hippie circuit should just go ahead and do it, cool fans are disloyal and will abandon u

like if i managed indie rock ppl like kurt vile, my morning jacket, war on drugs etc who could probably transition to the hippie circuit i would def be angling them that way

basically the hottest slot rn for past-their-prime rappers should be opening for 311

the nas/damian marley collaboration definitely mined the crossover festival circuit
― mh, Monday, 19 February 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
fyi guys we decided on the tune-yards thread last week that 311 is a good band
― gr8080, Monday, 19 February 2018 17:35 (six years ago) link

i saw waka at ultra fest like 3 years ago... he was really trying to make the EDM thing work and it seemed like maybe it could at the time but the disparity between the crowd's reaction to his normal rap hits and the shitty generic EDM mixes was very sad to me
― J0rdan S., Monday, 19 February 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link
lagoon chill w all this misdirected hostility

feels like another life when I was actually listening to half the shit that made the top 30. think two years later I got so burnt out I kinda took a big step back from hip hop after i gave up trying to keep up with the goons.
― master of nuggets (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 05:41 (four years ago) link
I think all the goons kind of gave up a little, except deej who can still muster up “hearing Protect Ya Neck in 1993” energy for 20 rappers with names like Lil Seed

Thread is def funny but honestly I still don’t get why ppl were so whiny (no pun etc) about a goon poll on here ... it was a cool idea

It was a perfect poll

(shakey was genuinely mad abt being left out)

Can we at least see how many votes/points everything got?
