This Woodstock 99 doc on HBO is wild

[Edub]

I remember when MTV and Pay Per View (my home had a hot box) played that shyt, I was like 12 or 13 at the time. Fred Durst gotta be a top 5 most untalented person to ever become a popular music star, maybe even number 1 (not a dumb business man though, I heard a story that he was on a flight with an MTV exec and basically talked the guy into giving Limp Bizkit a push). I mean dude was everywhere in 99-00. but then a few years later everybody was finally like "nah, what were we thinking on him?"

That promoter was an a$$hole too, wanted to blame everyone except for himself.

BTW wasn't Moby hitting on Natalie Portman when she was underage? Doesn't exactly seem like the beacon of morality he tries to portray himself as...

Musically moral ….only musically

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Moby went in on cacs in this

He was still mad about being put on the rising star stage

An HBO documentary about the reckless nature and savagery of white men? I’m gonna check it out tomorrow on HBO Max. The cacs are HEATED in those YouTube trailer comments. They’re upset about how it truthfully depicts them.


It’s gotta be good if it upsets those clowns.

it didnt disappoint

shyt they all went on multiple tours with each other

Nu metal, dmx, Meth redman, em, 50

Yea it’s was that how high tour…or something like that I think…. This is actually where a lot of hip hop became way more commercial and basically fu for a large period…. I mean you still had dead prez, and dilla was actually at his height during this period too…Rawkus records wit mos talib sound bombing etc., lotta real shyt came during this period but…..a lot of the rappers we loved in the nineties became mtv puppets during this period…. jZ began to reign (honestly cuz he kept it gutta but also stayed commercial), nas lost his way cuz of the commercialism for a bit, the real rap cats of the nineties either switched it up in the 00’s, barely made it past the 00’s or didn’t make it at all….. cash money, ruff ryders, rocafella, bad boy….if u weren’t affiliated with one of these at that time MTV wasn’t airing you basically

Oh shyt, they did that to him

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Oh shyt, they did that to him

Yea I went back and looked at the set list


It all made sense after that

So that whole electronic tent… that was really just a “new stars tent” or the day he played was the day for new stars, either way his disdain for this festival is hilarious

This was the death of the rock genre too. Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc were truly the last hard rock/metal(if you can that trash that) that was mainstream. After Woodstock /99 in general when everyone saw how contemptible and pathetic that music was shyt just fell off hard. Ten years later limp bizkit was a joke, kid rock became a far right new age ted nugent(another talentless Detroit crakkka), and Korn was irrelevant. There hasn’t been a single new act in the past twenty years that has broken through

Facts

I never liked X doin my nikkas for them cacs like that…. I know he was just doin his song, and his performance was incredible….but that moment was cringe as fukk

Yea, that was a bad look with him going in knowing the crowd. Hell, any rapper knowing it’s mostly crackas at their concerts should know better...

Nikkas was just starting to get real money wit the rap shyt, this was probably the most X had made yet for a concert…. I think the mtv platform and fame (not to mention whatever drugs he took in) had X ignoring the obvious …. the machine around them at the time wasn’t stoppin and neither was they…embarrassing ass moment tho

Alternative rock was in a dark place at that point

Kurt Cobain committed suicide

Pearl Jam was battling ticket master

Other alt bands that had been popular in the early/mid 90s like Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots or Alice In Chains were either on hiatus or declined in popularity

Mix that with the popularization of hip hop and a generation of angry white boys and you get nu metal

I forgot about Pearl Jam and ticketmaster..

I commend for trying to fight the good fight. They seem genuine in their liberalism unlike the white liberals of today.

As far as metal...I can't think of none that have broken through.




That said checkout Portland based band RED FANG ..you can start with WIRES and checkout their music videos...

Also the concert promoter John Scher is a piece of shyt. Dude justifies the poor planning, poor security and charging $4 for water while blaming Limp Bizkit for everything

Huge a$$hole. Those clips of him yelling at people to "help out more, why don't you come and stand up here and talk". A great example of Baby Boomers. It was never about Peace and Love, only $$. The only thing Woodstock 99 accomplished was being a cash grab.

Im not a Limp Bizkit fan by any means, but good on Fred Durst calling on the crowd to "break shyt". Horrible song by the way.

Brehs seem to forget though that most NY/Jersey brehs let non black people say nikka freely all the time.

Not condoning it though.
