I'm not sure you understand the context dripstep was saying it with... he was speaking generally about the forums decline, I haven't been here that long but a sour attitude is present in a lot of posts, why not focus on skills so you can become famous and you can have others bitch about you LOL

Guys, guys, you 're missing the point.

We should all agree that rusko was acting like a 13 year old drama queen that had her first massive period and was crying and raging about and that somehow some sand got in her vagina and that only made things worse.

^^^lol

I understand what you're saying, but this is a "thread", not to be confused with a "forum". A forum contains many threads. It's how we choose to weave these threads that decides the pattern of the forum. In order to understand the forum, we must first go inside the threads that create the forum. One must understand that the forum is but a container for threads and if we look at the very idea of a woven threaded stringy string of strings ... umm ... well .. I don't know where this is going but the point I'm making is: The title of this thread speaks for the content therein and does not represent the forum, on the whole!

Honestly, Rusko is one of the producers I really enjoy and generally respect. Not only do I enjoy the sounds he makes, which everyone is entitled to his opinion about that, but I've really enjoyed watching videos of him explaining his production techniques. It's really helped me understand things on a fundamental level, and he's a pretty funny guy while doing these. Seriously, he's an excellent producer.

I follow him on facebook (don't do the twitter thing) and I've been to more than a couple of his live shows. He puts on a quite talented set, if you're into that style of music. And his sound? If not anything else, it's totally his own.

Everyone has bad moments. "Celebrity" DJ's do too, and while I can't say I approve of this type of behavior, drugs do silly things to all sorts of people and I know Rusko's someone who doesn't hide his use of such things. For good or ill.

I still have a crazy amount of respect for him as a producer and DJ. He helped make Dubstep what it is today, which is a serious accomplishment.

I'm also really kind of bothered by the just straight slamming of a producer based on a single bad video clip of them, without any type of research. And I know for a fact a lot of people love to shit all over anything Dubstep related, but maybe you can take a second and replace "dubstep" with any other genre, and think of it in that light.

So he messed up, and got pissed about a show. We don't know the reasons behind it, it doesn't open the bloody doors to start crapping in circles about a genre of music a lot of people like, and a very talented producer in that particular genre.

And I know some of you guys posting are not into Dubstep at all, that's fine.

He was acting like a kid, for whatever reason. I don't know it, you don't know it, and whatever. Knock on him for that. But don't kid about his production, because it's seriously spot on for what it is. Unless you're completely well versed in something, it just shows an utterly huge amount of ignorance and unwillingness to learn.

I don't usually get fired up about such things, and wasn't expecting to when reading the initial post. A celeb DJ doing something stupid, what's new? What bother's me is the responses from the community in this thread knocking on not the act, but taking it to new levels.

Look into some of his production videos, and research the guy before you all out blast him and the style of music he plays. While you may not like Dubstep yourself, it doesn't mean it's okay to shit about it.

One of the biggest lessons people fail to carry through life is: "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." I realize this is the internet, and that point is completely moot because people will do fuckall and not care about the consequences, but I think it's an important thing to think of before you say anything.

Because sometimes it's better to be quiet and have people wonder if you're an idiot before you open your mouth and prove it to them.


edit:
Cooled down a bit, and I realize what I said was probably a bit over the top. But man, I really love this forum and it's always been a place where we sit around and help each other out, rather than just blasting the shit out of people doing stupid things, and shitting on genre's of music we don't particularly favor. That's what got to me more than anything in this thread, and I should have just taken my own advice and not said anything at all. Not going to delete the post though, because I still feel it's poignant, but seriously, this isn't why I come to this website and that's what bothered me more than anything. Rusko's a decent guy who had a bad fallout, but shitting over things doesn't get anyone anywhere. And things just got out of hand here, myself included.

Give your own opinion on Rusko. Don't tell other people what to think or say about the douche<--(my opinion)

I dig some of his older jams like Big Choppa and such, but lately his music just sounds too much like Borgore's new stuff, forced. I understand that some people have moments when they lose it and the pressure of life gets to you, we've all been there, but he shouldn't have acted like a child on stage in front of people who paid money to come see him. Talking to the sound engineer after the show would have been a better solution. But really guys, some of these posts are incredibly ridiculous. Dude that just straight put LanceBiase on blast, that was un called for. He's a pretty cool guy and we are here to help each other progress as DJ's, and yeah laughing at a mis-hap is a fun thing to do when it happens, but insulting someone because they like other things is stupid. Oh well, I also saw a pic from last night of them putting ole' Rusky in a ambulance. Comments?

Honestly rusko doesn't really bother me, I joke about him making brostep but he seems like a really nice dude from the old videos I've seen of him talking about production stuff.
