There ARE a lot of kids at ULTRA. I'm not saying she has any mainstream influence anymore, but she was speaking directly to a massive crowd of 90% young people.

When did Madonna ever say to "do drugs!" mess. You don't have to condone it for people to be influenced to do it.
She joked around yelling it to a crowd. So ****ing what? At least she isn't implying to people that you need to be high to get hit songs.

This is certainly what it should be about, and it’s what im about regarding the Madonna issue.
Whether i like it or not, and like every other walk of life, whether you’re becoming an adult, or climbing up the corporate ladder, or blazing a path in your chosen profession, im in a position now where i should be responsible. And yup… i should be a little more careful about what i advocate, and i certainly try to be. being an advocate of something or another certainly has it’s place… drawing promotion towards a good cause, enabling others to do what they desire to do, help others to create something, etc. and all that other good ****.
Im not perfect. i have my vices, and some of them are probably more harmful than a recreational drug or two… but i do know that i am at the very least morally obligated not to blatantly inflict or advocate anything that’s detrimental to society, others health, etc.
my last rant has yielded some interesting points and arguments from both camps no doubt, but i should at least be clear on where i stand with advocacy (which im almost certain isnt even a word).
I smoke cigarettes. yeah, it’s ****** i know, and its a personal problem that i struggle with… and i know how much it sucks, so my tour isnt exactly sponsored by a cowboy of sorts. I drink a little bit too, which im sure has killed more people than double the combined amount of overdoses on any recreational drug you can name…. so, i try to make an effort as not to blatantly condone it in situations where the youngins are around. and trust me, the mau5 horde has plenty of little ones… So, i dont see the dire need to be a constant dick**** and stamp my vices all over my media outlets. Sometimes it happens, but, of course, my intent isnt to make any look cool or desireable.
Now, weve taken EDM so far in the past decade, so goddamned far. It really hurts me to see rampant ADVOCATION of extreme ******** lifestyles to a genre that spans pretty much any age gap these days. Of course, ill always have my opinions about this or that… and yeah, its my personal choice not to do drugs, but im not on a ****ing crusade to stamp out other peoples personal choices by no means. **** being a crusader. Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.
Its just that simple… you can have an excellent standard of life providing you had a sense of responsibility to yourself, and those around you, REGARDLESS of whatever choices you make in your life… either good or bad (which is the opinion part).
I just feel like ive been kicked in the balls for a dollar. I’ve always been into electronic music, as far back as i can remember… and around the beginning, i really do remember the times the events i loved were pretty much outlawed by my city simply due to its speculated over-excessive drug use, and the media coverage that everyone loves to lap up around it. Yeah, that bummed me out… kinda made me feel like… how could something so damn interesting, artful, fun and just plain cool, be frowned upon by most….
but look at us now, allthough not completely, and never like to be completely, the dark veil has been lifted slightly and the music and good times and technology is starting to shine through more and more than “the latest breaking news about such and such a drug found only at these underground TECHNO RAVES - Tonight on fox!”
still, we have, and will always have personal choice. Thats how our lives are shaped… through the good or bad choices we make. we learn every day from them… but theyre ours to make, and its our responsibility to make the right ones for each of ourselves.Not to be pandered down to us in metaphorical pill form from BIG voices as a marketing scheme to “fit in” with todays young and “hip” crowd to sell a ****in CD.
So, if you can be pandered with MDMA refrences, then at least pander your own ass with a good sense of responsibility which will enable you to make the personal choices that are right for YOU… then i wont have to feel like a ****ing moron on a stage because you paid money to listen to some warm humming sounds high as ****. Besides, one day ill get older, and i dont want a bunch of ****ing irresponsible ****heads on my lawn. RESPONSIBLE ****bags, much preferred… but will still be asked to gtfo off my lawn for being a ****bag all the same.

What, you didn't know? Madonna can't make a joke of course, without being an evil bitch 
She can't said her honest opinion about something, like EVERY HUMAN BEING, without being the worst person that ever existed of course

If people weren't blinded by their stan glasses, they'd see Deadmau5's point. The whole "MDNA" play on words thing is an attempt to "fit in" with the younger crowd. Yes, it's clever. Yes, it's cute. But what he's saying is that it shouldn't be seen as clever and cute when it's inadvertently advocating the usage of drugs or the glorification of them.

Why did GaGa's name get brought up? Let's stay on topic. I'm sure the only point deadmau5 was trying to make was that EDM as a genre of music and a movement is obviously growing, and he'd probably prefer if people (especially young music fans) weren't introduced to it with "Hey, guys! Anyone got drugs?!"
I don't know why people are in here acting like he opened Madonna's mouth and shat in it. It's valid criticism to take, and it's not yours. jfc.

A rave DJ slamming molly. Wasn't it just a reference to her album?

I agree with him though and I would no matter what artist had said/done that.
Drugs are not cool, even if you are just trying to be funny about it, it's a serious thing and someone of Madonna's...experience should know better.

I live with people who abuse Molly and it's not cute.
I LOVE MDNA as an album name/concept, but yeah, I don't think DeadMau5 is out of line in any way shape or form for this one.

It's not like monsters are the only ones who said so 
You cant even compare the two, It's not like Gaga was shouting to her fans "WHERE IS SNOW WHITE"
She Said I did use it in the past, but not anymore. She even advised people to stay away from it...
----
anyways no matter what he says, I still LUV his music

MDMA is a fun drug. I've done it probably 5 or 6 times, it's quite the trip... especially if you're in a crowd like all of those ravers were.

Come on now, it's not that shocking she said it at Ultra. As much as I can't stand her, I find this thread to be a bit too reaching.
You're forgetting where Gaga has admitted to occasional MDMA usage.

Also, Jay-Z condoned in it one of his biggest singles of his career, "Empire State of Mind."

This whole thread / story isn't surprising or in bad taste in my opinion.
It's obvious Madonna named her album after a drug, a drug that was most likely in high use during Ultra.

Deadmau5 is just jealous he wasn't invited back to perform at Ultra cuz he was terrible last year tbh...but I guess I kinda understand his point but still think it was rather childish. I still love his music. Just not live.

DEATH at monsters taking his word seriously when he's not even able to have proper grammar. But of course, since he's bashing Madonna, i guess everything is fine...
