I've been following this guy since before he moved to Georgia, I knew it was just a matter of time before people started hearing his name. I've always wanted to catch him at a show or open-mic night. Keep us posted Randy, we're listening.

Music Vet, Thanks for your comment,. I think the point i agree with you most is where you talk about his music as lacking feeling... I, for one, get no emotion whatsoever from his work. People say that "emotion" isn't what his music is designed for, it's designed to be a good time and make you dance -- I like to dance, as a matter of fact, i LOVE to dance -- and I'm still not getting stuff from him. There are musicians out there who make original music (or even sample/dj/mix whatever) with similar tempos, patterns, etc. that I am more willing to dance to. dancing to girl talk is a lot like eating a mcdonalds hamburger when you're used to backyard grill outs -- by definition I'm still eating a hamburger, except one of them had its soul processed out.

This is a great idea. Really interesting work on Stoute's part. But can someone please tell him to stop wearing the pumps with the suit. Fly suit? Yes. Fly pumps? Yes. Fly Suit + Fly Pumps? NO. Also, Jimmy Iovine could use a new pair of jeans.

cant agree with you more, just watched him on Hulu and i was like why is this guy so popular, more so why does he actually think what he is doing is different from any other kid who plays samples at house parties.

im sorry but 20+ years of experience in the music world will never lead me to believe this is "good" music it just wont, ive seen how he composes and how he creates his effects its a joke. the fact he adjust his own creative ability for the simple fact he doesnt want to get sued is pathetic in itself.

i would never sacrifice my own limits in life for money, like you said it obviously affects his music, i dont want to listen to some guy plays a mixes for an hour.. i know how they go about it and they carry on some songs way too long. its not like he is Justice or something at least they have a real musical background and it show in their music.

its just outstanding to me people really like this guy as if its something new, its just sad to see people like him make it when there are so many other deserving artists with a real understanding of music out there or even thinking of poor individuals who have worked so much harder than he has and even produce so much more but have had to have him open for them only to steal the spotlight because people are so brainwashed to whats on the radio. he has no intention or care to ever play an instrument for christ sakes. how can you call yourself a musician and youve never once played an instrument or even composed your own song at least...

i truly feel this should be illegal, it not only hurts those artists who he uses (ill be honest i could care less about any of them because all the samples he uses are from talentless hacks already which makes it worse for him trying to be creative with something thats already garbage....anyway back to topic) it truly is really fucked up to think about, i know the law could be reworked for instances like this because he is making a damn good living off of literally barely doing anything.

Gregg even had the nerve to sit around saying his sets takes a total of 2 years to make, are you kidding me dude? are you musically retarded or something? 2 years to make one set with nothing but samples that are spaced a bar apart???? what the fuck is all i have to say to that, especially after hearing his music.. his effect usage is nothing to brag about let alone his composition skills.. i was just completely shocked..

i dont hate the guy or would i ever be mad at him, i just dont appreciate what he does in the least let alone understand why he goes about carrying it like its "original" he says that so many times yet he falls in the same category of every other DJ (correction sampler, calling him a DJ is an insult to those who can do more with 2 turntables than he has done his entire lifetime) youve heard at a house party before, seriously.

im just sick and tired of music going in this direction, i dont want to have to hear another 10 years of morons who want to follow someone like him only to create music with less life and even more bland. i dont get how anyone can really get pleasure or a real sense of achievement by using nothing but other peoples music anyway. i get so bored mixing its not even funny yea its fun or fun to get people hyped at a party but its not rewarding, its mainly just that hype.. its not like you could play Girl Talk in a room full of sober individuals and they are going to go ape shit crazy, lets be realistic. none the less its not even funny and i cant make music without feeling, thats what his music is, made for parties where feelings arent welcome, just being oblivious to everything around you while in a drunken bliss.

i dont know about you guys but ive grown too intelligent for this crap. what happened to musicians like Bjork and Sun Ra, truly unique and inspiring individuals who not only had an amazing persona but music to match that 100x times with pin point accuracy. now we have all these low lifes with a slight musical know how getting support from record labels because those labels know they will take no work on their part.. they are just cash cows that are easy to milk, do you honestly think the label thinks his music is good.. i highly doubt it but they know how stupid america, sadly half the world is and you bet your bottom dollar they are going to take advantage of that.

Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the
streets" —
though the term usually refers to unsanctioned art, as opposed to
government

The beat is dope, never would've thought i'd hear drake on it... but it works. He sounds a lot like wayne on this track, but I'm with it. When he's on point it's hard to ignore.
