OP, here's a youtube video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQ5zmjUWok#t=63[/media]

I think George Watsky's a bit shit at rapping too. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhMufR7MiqA[/media] What the shit is this.

[quote] While Watsky got off light with only a few bumps and bruises, a girl he struck broke her arm, while another victim suffered a back injury that required hospitalization. In an apology post on his Facebook page, Watsky acknowledged that his behavior was "inexcusable," and "it's extremely lucky it wasn't worse." He goes on to insist he was "not drunk or on drugs," but was simply trying to conquer his "early timidity" of "anything physically dangerous" by doing something physically dangerous.[/quote] What a fucking dick. And what a dumb move. The girl should sue him.

What a moron. Just what the fuck kind of outcome did he expect?! If I were the chick with the broken arm I'd sue him to hell and back.

Damn, I really like him as a rapper. He jumped off the roof here in Madison into the crowd but they caught him. Shame this happened though.

This was his apology that he posted: [QUOTE=Watsky]This is news to some, but many of you may have heard about the incident today at Warped Tour London. I jumped off an extremely tall lighting tress during my last song, and was taken to the hospital for examination. I was released, and I'm fine, besides some nicks, bruises, and the shame of endangering the crowd. The fall broke a girl's arm and hurt another guy. My tour manager Nils and I stayed at the hospital for 6 hours til the visiting period ended, and all I know about the man's condition at this point is that he has no breaks and the injury seems to be muscular/ bruising. I'll be going back in the morning to try to apologize, but I wouldn't blame the guy if he spits in my face. The jump was not awesome, it was not badass, and it was not ballsy. It turned what should have been a great day for the people who got hurt into a nightmare. It was stupid and wildly irresponsible, plain and simple. I have no excuse for my actions, and the only way I can explain my mindset is that it was a huge overreach in the heat of the moment. No, I was not drunk or on drugs. I used to be a kid who was afraid to do anything physically dangerous-- I was scared of the ball in little league, didn't want to jump into lakes and would never have had the nerve to crowdsurf. But in the last year of touring, I've done increasingly risky things, maybe pushing myself by some dumb sense I am conquering my early timidity. I pride myself on trying to put on a good show and always giving 100% energy, but jumping off some high shit doesn't make someone a good musician or performer. I feel fucking terrible. I made a boneheaded decision that got people hurt, and it's extremely lucky it wasn't worse. Putting your own body on the line is one thing, but putting other people in harm's way is inexcusable. Today I let down my supporters, I let down the Warped Tour and I let down my band and the people who work their asses off behind the scenes to make these shows happen. My #1 priority right now is to somehow make this right for the folks who were hurt. I will not be canceling the remaining 6 tour dates. I will do the shows, as usual I will meet everyone afterwards, and I will NOT be jumping off anything. I am deeply sorry and I promise to learn from this mistake.[/QUOTE]

did that dumbass seriously expect people to catch him from that height?

I kind of want to feel bad for him but fuck, he made others suffer serious medical problems, and that's some grade A bullshit.

what an idiot

Break a leg eh?

still i personally hate 99.9% of rap so i'm too biased to really critique

[QUOTE=OogalaBoogal;42909578]This was his apology that he posted:[/QUOTE] at least he's not being a stuck up cunt about it like some certain people would

I'm surprised stage diving is still allowed, usually after the first few incidents someone tries to ban it :v:

His apology does make him sound like a honestly nice guy though.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;42909699]I'm surprised stage diving is still allowed, usually after the first few incidents someone tries to ban it :v:[/QUOTE] stage diving ≠ 12 meter dive off some lights

[video=youtube;1SWZ7qWEjUs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SWZ7qWEjUs[/video][/QUOTE] Yeah that's why I said 'I think' - It's my opinion. IMO what makes good rappers is congruence in storytelling, whether it be funny or serious. And Watsky, in everything I've heard of his, just has lyrics that just seem random and disconnected.

more like fuckin slam poetry than anything, a voice with no beat is like music without influences

I wanted to hate the guy but his apology sounds pretty honest. Everybody has bad days and does dumb shit.

Fuck, when everyone closed in on him to get it on camera was really creepy as shit. [editline]18th November 2013[/editline] Probably the reason no one caught him

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;42909699]I'm surprised stage diving is still allowed, usually after the first few incidents someone tries to ban it :v:[/QUOTE] stage diving is almost never aloud. it's especially hard to do if you are an audience member because climbing onto the stage has gotten a lot harder since people often have security and shit. people still do it tho and no one does anything unless you get hurt in which case they venue denies any liability.

[QUOTE=dwt110;42909987]he also doesnt look like a massive pussy[/QUOTE] not looking like a 'a massive pussy' makes you rap better apparently~

[QUOTE=yawmwen;42910133]stage diving is almost never aloud.[/QUOTE] Unless it's between songs.

to be fair, he don't give a fuck
