If the world is going to end in 2012, at least it will also put an end to crap like this!!

as a working-class business person yes i would take a $200,000 contract if it was offered to me, because i am not a professed artist nor to i pretend to represent a form of art. however if you want to know if i would sell out my art form and my own name for $200,000 to market a piece of commercial garbage were i in tiesto's financial position, then the answer is no.

God, will it never end? I could see a fan being disappointed by this but why do people who don't like Tiesto give a shit? Or are they just reaffirming their hatred for him? He's a pop artist collaborating with another pop artist. Imagine that.

Originally posted by junkproject haha willi.am does hiphop? lol, i remember seeing black eye pea's at a car show long before fergie joined. They where pretty bad, bad mouthing the crowd saying they sucked.

i remember at least one awesome BEP from back in the pre-Fergie days...to me they lost my interest after she joined the group... but i actually bought their new album and its not bad. of course the song from the album that is #1 in the US right now was produced by David Guetta...


i'm not a huge Tiesto fan but i don't see why all the hate for the guy trying to do some stuff he's interested in. i'm fairly confident all of the collaboration he did on his artist album were done due to him wanting to work with those artists.

I think it's because he masquerades under the pretense of being an EDM "artist" where he really is nothing more than a commercial entity, thus giving the scene and true EDM artists a bad name.

People who don't know about EDM assume he is the A-typical model and the poster boy of EDM/trance, and he has done that specifically by design, and that alone causes enough damage to EDM and DJ's on a whole.

He does not present himself as a pop artist (which contradiction in terms) but as a trance DJ.

He is to EDM what Glen Beck is to journalism. Popular but for all the wrong reasons and uneducated people gravitate towards them.

...and this "collab" is just more proof of not giving a fuck.

PS - if the album sucks, go ahead and rip him a new one. But until you guys hear the tracks it seems you should give any artist the benefit of the doubt - even if it sounds weird on paper.

word! i highly doubt the track will be good but three6 has always experimented with a lot of electronic music sounds in their music, so who knows. maybe it will sound like some old school miami bass style hiphop from the 90s, haha. anyone ever listen to edm chopped n screwed? sounds good on some lean!

does money = commercial entity? people do this for a living because they love it and it pays the bills.....so i guess anyone who gets paid to Dj is a commercial entity

uh it's not like will.i.am is unfamiliar to this music... they did play at raves years ago... remember.. the whole hip hop stage with Talib, Blackalicious, Jurassic5, BEP?

I'm sure people remember the party Oracle. It was like half rap/hip hop and I'm sure you guys remember Audiotistic with Outkast a few years ago too

i'm not a fan and i don't give a shit about tiesto, which precludes me from hatred for him, but this is a thread titled are you f'kn kidding me?...tiesto & three six mafia... where presumably people can discuss or laugh at his latest endeavor.

have you ever heard 36 mafia's music? if lil kim and lil jon had a lovechild that went to africa, got malaria and became a somali pirate, the congolese child soldier that kills him would be listening to 36 mafia. that's how trashy and ghetto their discog is.
