In a recent interview with Radio.com, Diplo left no stone unturned, as he tore down Zedd, bit by bit. The only thing people are wondering… is why?
“I’m actually not enemies with Zedd by any means. I just think that he came from such a cool place, and now he’s been pegged as a money-maker for a major label to do EDM, which to me isn’t even a genre. But they’ve pegged him for that, they’ve marketed him, even the fake relationship with Selena Gomez, all the things to sell records took away from the music. He’s an amazing producer and good songwriter. I just feel like… I was hoping he’d come out of the scene and do something. He had some pop records and I think he was learning how to make great songs through that. So to just kind of like not care and make an album that’s just stereotype… there’s nothing really there for anybody. He’s got a really loud space right now in this culture, there are a lot of people paying attention to him, he can do this awesome music, and to just come out with something so flat and expected and easy for people… When Skrillex and I came out with the Jack Ü album, we came out with the weirdest shitt we could think of. We’re not about to put out the same songs we did over and over again. You only live once, you know what I’m saying?”
No idea what had gotten into Diplo to rant on Zedd and comment on his ‘fake relationship with Selena Gomez’ or his album True Colors, that Diplo termed was ‘something so flat and expected’.
Whatever… would be the correct response I guess? After all its just one of those ‘Diplo moments’ that the artist is known to have time and again.
