Did Fred Again cross the line? The BAD BOYS of EDM | The XLNT Show #7
Description
Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back.
In this episode, the guys dive into one of the most overlooked conversations in the EDM scene right now: major artists taking ideas and drops from smaller producers without giving proper credit. Using the recent situation between Fred again and Liny as the centerpiece, Danny and Parker break down how a viral edit blurred the lines between inspiration and attribution, and why it struck such a nerve in the producer community.
They discuss:
- The timeline behind the Victory Lap edit and LYNY's original track
- Why credit matters for smaller artists trying to break through
- Whether big artists have a responsibility to elevate new talent
- The culture shift around IDs, edits, and promo on TikTok
- The role of community building in EDM
- When borrowing becomes poaching
- Whether Fred again actually helped LYNY or overshadowed him
The conversation expands into a wider look at the industry: the lack of mentorship, the expectations placed on top artists, and whether the community holds different people to different standards based on their public persona.
