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

[Chingylol]

I noticed at Blizzcon they always have washed up has beens performing.

... But you want Eminem?

His last album won two grammys and was nominated for five others? No rock/punk/heavy metal artist has reached that in more then 5 years.

Fucking hell, lets get Nicki Manaj and 2-Chains while we're at it.

Blizzard doesn't to commit monetary suicide, they realize most people that play their games aren't the "FUCK BITCHES, GET HIGH AND HAZ STACKS OF RACKS OF STACKS OF THE MONEYZ" type of people.

Blizzard/Wow's fanbase has always been what's trendy in pop culture. Look at how many in-game references there are. Hell, the Lady Gaga and My Little Pony threads on MMO Champion have gone way over the maximum limit, with multiple extra threads having to be made. Wayne crushes Gaga in record sales almost 3:1, and I believe he has more number 1 billboard hits then Elvis along with Jay-Z.

Lil Wayne also has various different mix tapes taking his total number of albums above like 30.

Yeah I would say your typical Blizzard audience that can afford the tickets ( say older the 16), probably are not into much Rap.

Just not the right demographic.

Worked are a Video game store during one of expansions, lets just say not much in the way of ethnic diversity.

Let's not forget Elvis is dead. And the whole "Billboard Chart" thing wasn't around when he was alive AFAIK.

@above
and dude listen to Kanye's latest CD it isn't even worth the packaging he used to be okay but not now

New Kanye's album sucks, true, but tell me when Wayne didn't sucked?

Eminem I would be ok seeing. The old rappers were good. But god no at any rapper who has shown up within the last 10 years. But I, myself, would rather see a metal or rock band, and not the type of "metal" band who just screams into a mic.

Paint her purple and she would have the rite tit size for half the Nelfs in the game.. LOL

Come to Southern California where teenage white kids that wish they were a black rappers are as common as sunny days.

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.

The better question is how much extra would I have to pay not to have any of those people perform. You actually think your average blizzcon attendee wants to hear that shit? I'm going to say no.

It would never happen because of the gay bashing he is associated with.

Let's get some electronic artists and turn Blizzcon in a rave party! unce unce unce unce unce unce unce unce

[madethisfor1post]

Why not get the cast of Glee? They are the only ones with more Billboard spots than Elvis.

Cause Grammys dictate what is good music?

Have you ever read trade chat? You can't go 2 minutes without a discussion popping out about sex or how "high" someone is.

An act of God.

Um no. The only people who have more number 1 Billboard hits than Elvis are Mariah Carey and The Beatles, both of which would take a miracle to get to perform for a random gaming convention.
