No, but he does not give a shit about music, just how many suckers he can snag to drain money form them, under the banner of EDM. The thing that I find is that if you ask just club goer (one that is in to trance) what they think of Tiesto, chances are they'll think he was/is alright.

now ask a DJ or producer (beginner or big time pro) and you'll get a completely different and seriously negative response. Why, becuase they (we) know he's a thieving, money-grabbing cock knocker whose only interest is in money that other producers can generate for him.

I don;t really like that much trance these days, and from a musical standpoint some of the tracks I;ve heard him play are actually quite interesting - what I don;t like is his politics, ethics or how he portrays himself.

I'm not a hater - I really couldn't give a toss and I'm just not interested, I;m just trying to let you guys realize the collective negativity towards him is not because he's made money or is undoubtedly successful, but because of the way he conducts himslf. It's bad for the scene and industry.

He truly is the Donald Trump of EDM.

can someone post the song, i'm interested to listen to this

Dude you're trippin... I agree that their raps and songs as a whole are not tight sometimes, but, DJ Paul and Juicy J are killer producers and there is no denying that. Without them, Lil Jon wouldn't have been where he is imo. On a side note, this song sounds pretty dumb and funny. I am curious to hear it.

Obviously Tiesto is getting that big check. Hip hop now is branching into the trance/house scene trying to reach a larger market, hence Black Eyed Peas' latest album going Electro and artist like Pit Pull rhyming over house tracks from producers like Benni Benassi, 75th Brazil St. etc. It's the hip-hop labels noticing how large and mainstream electronic music is getting and trying to jump on the band wagon.
