Looks like Deadmau5 had one too many cups of shade juice during his Rolling Stone interview.
DETAILS: Bury Da Beef! Deadmau5 Says Pauly D Has “No Talent”
Known for being outspoken and very candid in his interviews, Deadmau5 didn’t hold anything back in Rolling Stone’s Summer Special issue.
When asked about his fellow EDM colleagues David Guetta and Skrillex, Deadmau5 had some not so nice things to say.
“David Guetta has two iPods and a mixer and he just plays tracks – like, ‘Here’s one with Akon, check it out!'” he says. “Even Skrillex [a friend of Deadmau5’s] isn’t doing anything too technical. He has a laptop and a MIDI recorder, and he’s just playing his shit … People are, thank God, smartening up about who does what – but there’s still button-pushers getting paid half a million. And not to say I’m not a button-pusher. I’m just pushing a lot more buttons.”
MUSIC: Deadmau5 “Maths (Original Mix)”
When asked about Madonna’s appearance at the Ultra Music Festival in March, Deadmau5 still seemed pissed about Madge’s drug references to “Molly.”
“You want to be ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ and ‘funky grandma’? Fine. It’s not my place to say you’re irrelevant. If you’re gonna come into my world, at least do it with a little more dignity. I understand she has millions more fans, and is way more successful than I’ll ever be. But it’s like talking about slavery at a fucking blues concert. It’s inappropriate.”
Deadmau5 is no stranger to beef with fellow DJs. He was recorded saying Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D was “talentless” and his video “Night Of My Life” looked “cheap.”
Damn Deadmau5, can’t we all just get along?
