Pretty lights recently invited Danny Brown to open up on a leg of his fall tour that included stops in St. Louis and Nashville. Last night was the first stop of the tour, which took place in St. Louis, and the crowd didn’t seem to react very well to Danny Brown’s set. Sometimes things like that are bound to happen, and crossing the bridge from EDM to Hip-Hop can be difficult, but after Danny took to twitter after the show it seemed to ruffle some feathers at the Pretty Lights camp. We originally spotted this story at Potholes in My Blog, who thought PL started the beef, but when looking at the time of tweets Danny was the first to engage the situation.
It’s far from often when you see someone like Pretty Lights going at someone on twitter, nonetheless two artists that are currently on tour together. We’re big fans of both artists, so it’s kind of a bummer to see them beef it out like this. See how everything unfolded on twitter below:
Danny Brown tweeted after his performance:
Lol y’all lucky if I come to Nashville … Iunno what kinda fanbase pretty lights got ,.. But it damn sure ain’t mine!!!!!!!!!!!

I could of stayed home for this shit!!!!!!! ….. I’m past playing trash shows bruh bruh — Danny Brown (@XDannyXBrownX) October 12, 2013
Pretty lights then reacted to Danny’s Tweet:
Im trying to support good hip-hop shows. I hoped Danny Brown would rock the spot but no dice. shit was weak.my bad for letting it go down. — Derek Vincent Smith (@PrettyLights) October 12, 2013
Then Danny Continued to respond:

i care to much about music to be “robbing banks” … meaning playing for people who dont wanna see me and just taking the money — Danny Brown (@XDannyXBrownX) October 12, 2013
Trying to be somewhat positive after his rant:
screw all this negativity … lm not tripping on that shit yall … im omw to nashville to eat bbq … i couldnt be happier — Danny Brown (@XDannyXBrownX) October 12, 2013
Pretty Lights then responded this morning:
this is ridiculous. twitter beef is not class. PLM is about fresh music and positive vibes. — Derek Vincent Smith (@PrettyLights) October 12, 2013
pl family, lets squash this shit. I love good hiphop, sometimes there’s a disconnect tho.artist<>audience.DB at a PL show didn’t fly.no hate — Derek Vincent Smith (@PrettyLights) October 12, 2013
When an artist yells at the fans and chucks a mic at the crowd for not responding to his set.. It ain’t working. diff shows diff fans. — Derek Vincent Smith (@PrettyLights) October 12, 2013
Then Danny Had more to say this morning:
U know how many trash shows I played??? I wasn’t tripping on the crowd …
— Danny Brown (@XDannyXBrownX) October 12, 2013
I was tripping cause the soundman had my shit sounding like I was playing outta a beats pill in the middle of a castle

Michael John Raible Take music advice from someone with a Nickelback picture in his profile? Sorry. Out of curiousity, who are the other "best active rappers"?
Danny brown killed it when he was in chicago with kendrick lamar. I can see why Pretty Lights booked him. He is signed to Fool's Gold if you guys are not aware which is A-trak's label. He is pretty underground and affiliated with many EDM artists and did a song with flosstradamus. His music was on both of the banned mixes too. It's weird to me that people who follow a trap site don't know who he is. The EDM scene has a lot of poser fans who don't know anything but electronic music soo..to a crowd who is only about techno music he'd be out of place. Danny brown is dope as fuck, and it was definitely a combination of a bad sound man and a bad chemistry with the crowd.
someone threw a bottle filled with piss at DB
CHECK MY PROFILE PIC YO! Danny Brown is like the coolest dude ever, and killed it when he came to Minneapolis with Action Bronson. His new album 'Old' is bangin', and his older 'XXX' got rave reviews from Pitchfork. Ya'll haters don't know shit about him. He even got a blowjob onstage here the last time he came hahahaha.
I haven't heard much of Danny Brown but what I have heard sounds wack to be honest, and I love hip hop. He's lucky Derek even put him on. God forbid someone try n help him out by exposing him to a wider fanbase and the dude has the nerve to disrespect him and the crowd.
