story picking up in the music scene rn.

saw him open for RTJ way earlier this year

dude is a solid performer and he made the show political. dope show for sure, this shit right here though? man.

this was.

or the performer

Unless you know him personally... it’s not really Love

cause they go to a ton of his shows out in LA (one dude seen him over 100 times and hung out w/ him and shit). they were not surprised by this. just disappointed.

I wouldn’t want to be associated with someone who wouldn’t surprise me if I heard they raped someone.

holy shit

I have attended some Low End Theories and am familiar with some of the producers, but aside from being around a longer time than others is this guy that popular?

He's integral to low end theory, not to mention he goes back a ways with fly lo per all accounts.

its GLK. others like Teebs and Ras G or Mono/poly have had more heralded lps, but...

i'd say half of the audience is there to see him on most Wednesdays.

It really is an experience. The way he crafts his sound/set

but fuck him if true and I'm glad Low End and Brainfeeder both came out with a quickness distancing themselves from him

it's the right move

him and Kutmah go way back to the early days, before it was a 'scene'. IMO.

[font size=4 font color="green"

never heard one thing he ever did

Oh well sounds like a Coachella Predator

Don't have any idea why somebody like that would feel the need to rufie chicks, but maybe dude's a sociopath.

gaslamp put on a good set but if he's guilty of this ish then ef him.

As previously mentioned he’s pretty big in the LA beat scene and many of y’all “who?” niggas would like his shit, lots of obscure international funk samples.

Dudes universally suck.

>Dudes universally suck.

so true

the whole thing is sketchy though

a. who wants to think a woman is lying about this

b. why did he try to rally up support via DM and take 15 hours to make a statement? (he was more than aware of the story breaking)

but yeah his story is a consensual threesome happened and he would never in a million years

and yeah, gotta hear both sides...

but for dude up above to say he knows people who know him and they wouldn't be surprised by it? That's kinda fucked up if true. How do you give off a roofie rapey vibe?

this means nothing to anyone unfamiliar, but that's colossal for the LA music scene. his career is pretty much over

So that's an interesting swerve

Probably in their best interest though.

in any case, rushing to drop him instead of a "we are looking into this" suggests they had enough dirt handy

and stand by him

Especially with LA being on blast right now.

He could be totally innocent but who wants to take that chance?

but the latest info is pretty interesting.

My point all along is cutting ties with someone doesn’t mean they are guilty. Just means the company is trying to protect itself.

>story picking up in the music scene rn.

but in these two instances, their people stood behind them immediately and never wavered.

if your own people are backing away as quick as GLK's has...to be frank, I was in the Oberst camp in an auxiliary way at the time, and I just can't imagine stepping aside as quick as people have in GLK's, or Weinstein's, or any other's case where the first 48 are followed by severed ties.

if his people can't stand by him, I hate to say it, but there's SOMETHING wrong, whether it's rape or just plain predator behavior.

I'm interested to see how this all plays out. The boyfriend of the alleged victim removed the post about the assault from his instagram and supposedly the she did the same.

Producer has denied sexual assault, claiming that the encounter had been consensual

The Gaslamp Killer has filed a lawsuit following recent rape allegations made against him.

In October, the electronic musician – real name William Benjamin Bensussen – was accused of sexual assault by a Twitter user, who described an alleged incident that she says took place at a party at a Los Angeles hotel in July 2013. The individual claimed that Bensussen “drugged and raped” her and her best friend at the party.

Bensussen later denied the allegations, responding in a statement that he would “never drug a woman” and claiming that the sexual encounter had been consensual. “Please know that while I am shocked, I take this all very seriously,” he said of the accusations.

The producer is now reportedly suing the accuser, her friend and the accuser’s boyfriend – who is said to have shared the story online – for defamation, seeking at least $5 million (£3.8m) in damages. The lawsuit sees Bensussen describe the allegations as “malicious and fabricated” and allege that two witnesses can affirm his innocence.

Following the allegations, both the record label Brainfeeder and LA collective Low End Theory severed ties with The Gaslamp Killer.

Flying Lotus recently apologised after appearing to publicly support The Gaslamp Killer. He told the crowd at a live show: “The internet is a fucking liar. Ain’t nobody judge and jury but the fucking law… Let truth and justice have its day.” Flying Lotus later said that his comments had been “insensitive”.

When you (semi)rich and (semi)famous and can afford expensive/good lawyers to sue a regular schmegular person who can't afford a good lawyer, maybe can't take the time off of work to go to court and all that -- it's bullying.

i think he did just going on word of mouth about him. but if he didn't do it why should he sit around and just take it?

and someone is defaming you in public and fucking up your money?

not gonna defame me if i know im innocent and get away with it because of some sensitivity bullshit.

That’s money lost...

and his name will forever be linked to a rape accusation.

Best believe if I didn’t don’t and I have the money I would sue for defamation.

It’s like some folks want everyone to lay down cause some folks ain’t shit.

hashtag unjustly, it's a platform that unfortunately is not above abuse
