Pretty lights is lame.

Asap has some really weak shit too, but he's backed by some new amazing producers, Clams Casino is where it's at...

I would rather listen to asap.

I mean, you can't really make a comparison between the two. It's an apples-to-oranges situation

Ohhhhhhh ok so this is a live show?

In that case, pretty lights.

Or if you are more inclined to treat live shows like a party (ex: becoming intoxicated and belligerent with little regard or concern for the quality of the music) then hit up asap.

A$AP is terrible live, look up some of his concerts on youtube. Pretty lights on the other hand looks sick

PL is dope live and is real music. ASAP Rocky is the same bullshit recycled rap as the rest of them.

pretty lights but only if you take some pills. he has an epic light show but does not interact with the crowd and never steps from behind his dj booth (inb4 he has to be there to make music.. read this: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/on-the-cover-the-rise-of-deadmau5-20120620 and this

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/deadmau5-clarifies-press-play-comments-about-fellow-djs-20120625

overall, not impressed with EDM. only thing cool is the light show.

have never been to an a$ap rocky show by i love his music and like above it is produced by some some talented people.

whats the hate on a$ap, his producing is on point and in my opinion has the best "swag rap" out right now. plus if its the same tour as the one coming to slc, it means school boy Q is gunna be there, and when they play brand new guy shits gunna pop off like this

Pretty lights is tight, super dope live, but hasn't been really putting out any music recently.. my friend who knows him from high school says he's super addicted to heroin now and thats why he hasn't done any new shit, but idk.

Not a huge fan of pretty lights but after going to one of their concerts I can say that his live sets are insane. go there for sure

*any good music.

On the other hand, "Filling up the City Skies" probably changed my life. I've reached the point where I can't even stand listening to that album because of the nostalgia

For those saying Pretty Lights sucks. That's only half true. Seen him too many times live for it to be fun anymore. I'm tired of hearing the same setlist save for 2 or 3 songs he likes to switch up. I can agree that he's not the best to go see live, but you gotta check it out at least once. That being said, the production of his live show is on a whole other level entirely right now.

The dude is a genius at sample mapping. Even if he's not the "best" he's got a personal touch that makes his music his own (which takes talent), and infectious for hoards of EDM fans. You can hate on him all you want, but you know its the truth.

PL > ASAP in the live element. Especially if you've never been to a Pretty Lights show. You'll get the hip-hop, the nearly naked girls, and the lights. Easy decision imo.


PS: I've heard ASAP lip syncs.

Just saw ASAP at house of blues boston and it was sick. He played the perfect number of good old songs and also a bunch of sick new stuff of his unreleased album. Also schoolboy q and danny brown featured made it super sick. Hands on the wheel was unreal with both q and asap.

Just to give you an idea of what it was like....

I like them both but Pretty lights would be way better in person. A lot more people and a better atmosphere IMO

I have seen both pretty lights and A$ap live so I might have the best opinion on this thread. It really depends on the venue...if bigger go pretty lights....if much smaller go A$AP.....personally I would choose PL over A$AP but asap is an unreal performer as well

If you do go to Asap be warned.....you will be the minority at the concert as there are many black ppl who like asap and there will probably be nig fights...PL is basicaly all white ppl but theres guaranteed hot girls

I like A$aps music but when I saw him, I hated it.... His crew of 40 did nothing but walk around the stage and scream A$AP A$AP , was pretty annoying after an hour of that.
