What would it take to get Eminem or Lil Wayne to perform at Blizzcon?

[Serj Tankian]

What the actual hell did I just listen to?

Is this what people call music these days? I remember when rap was good actually good. Sugarhill Gang, Run DMC, Afrika Bambaata, N.W.A., Public Enemy.... I could go on and on.. But damn, this is considered music now?

I know Blink-182 isn't the greatest band, but they sure beat Eminem or Lil Wayne, they are terrible "artists". I'm pretty sure Lil Wayne is a broken record, and Eminem is still just an angry teen throwing a fit

Said every old man in every generation since the invention of music.

(Then again I didn't watch the clip, it probably is awful.)

But Blink-182 was a punk band...

Through Dude Ranch, yes, they were more geared towards punk.

After Dude Ranch they became Pop Punk. I personally enjoy Pop Punk but don't label them as Punk any longer.

Too bad that shit like that makes people money nowadays - talentless scrubs.

The Day Blizzard announces that they are having a " Rapper " Doing the final act is the day I cancel wow. I might watch eminem, but if lil wyane or any of the other jackasses known in the rap game right now were on stage I would demand my money back and cancel wow on the spot.

[melkesjokolade]

I wanna slap you, OP.

[Glurp]

Because people who play Blizzard games seriously enough to want to attend a convention don't want to listen to music targeted at 15 year olds.

What would it take to get Eminem or Lil Wayne to perform a Blizzcon? A majority fanbase of baby daddy junkies with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths at a Wal-Mart clearance aisle, wearing red sweatpants with a pot smoke-soaked hoodie.

I was poking fun at the angry teen punk stereotype, I pretty much skipped listening to Blink.

I noticed at Blizzcon they always have washed up has beens performing. Why can't they get any current A-list artists?

Last year there were 26,000 people at Blizzcon at 170 bucks a pop. That's almost 5 million dollars. Wayne and Drake both charge from 50,000-100,000 for a performance with 5-6 songs. Hell, Chief Keef only charges like $20,000.

Why can't they ever get anyone relevant?

If they got Keef to perform, the place would go INSANE.

I had no idea what this rapper was saying lyrically and he was off key so much, it wasn't even funny. All I can say is, thank goodness I grew out of that silly phase when I was in my teens, back in the 90's. Then again, the stuff was better back then.

[Ryuji]

Forgive me for sounding pretentious but...Idunno. If I went to Blizzcon, I'd go there because of WoW/Diablo/SC2/Hearthstone stuff, not because of some singer/rapper. I know others don't share this same opinion but eh...just seems like a waste.

[williedabull]

I am guessing for either of them to preform it would take a hostage situation.

Ah, my apologies for misinterpreting then.

Considering I've always been heavily invested in the Punk Genre (and more-so Ska) I get irritated when people label bands such as Blink 182 punk.

[Elian]

because rap is crap(imo)?
except maybe 2pac and Eminiem.

[Budong]

I figure 20 ounces of prime weed would do the trick.

Thank you for this thread, can't stop laughing!
Bring Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black and that China food girl, close the circle!
