wow that is some terrible music but good for him

new board description

lol

waka headlined some local festival here that has turned into 100% edm acts and I was confused. pretty sure that assessment is on

I mean, yeah, again, iirc, you had said something in your email to that extent, and maybe your ballot didn't lineup with the other goons

what's up with the like thirty 2018 Waka releases on Spotify?

think those are all his old tapes

God, i hope Flockaveli 2 if it ever comes out isn't edm'd to death.

I remember my favorite discovery from this list being roc marciano, what an amazing record

yeah holds up well too.

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

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

so...never

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

was the crowd into it

i think everyone was glad to see waka, myself included

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

im talking about a bar that couldn't have been more than 75 square feet

lol

Nice

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

otm

haha yes

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

my morning jacket p much did fwiw

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

oh god lol

p-nut is the new p. diddy

haaa

the nas/damian marley collaboration definitely mined the crossover festival circuit

fyi guys we decided on the tune-yards thread last week that 311 is a good band

jfc that is a depraved sentence

sorry, but its true

you've got to trust your instincts

got to come original

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

lagoon chill w all this misdirected hostility
