He was asked:
"I think it's really cool that you're honest and outspoken about what you believe? How are you so able to break the mold and speak your mind? Also, why do you think so many artists these days are scared to express their honest opinions?"

Joel can speak because he is only independent producer, he has his own label, his own managment and so many fans that he is "stronger" than any other producer out there..

[@MatArti]

Medovaca. It's not about the "strength" he said he don't care about the consecuent fame... and it's cool because when you don't care you are more clear

+Alf thanks to him i came to the conclusion that having too much of an ego can and will eventually ruin you, all you have to do is look at kanye west, granted he's always had a bit of an ego but it never used to really effect his music, now his ego seems to be ruining him

[@MatArti]

***** no. I am not a fan... I don't like his music, but he speak truth! I've never heard something egocentric from him... I am saying, he is the kind of person who tells you you are fat if you are (deadmau5 - Where are you now video opinion), and he doesn't even care about another opinion... is not the best way to argue, but we can't deny he is wise in what he says... BUT he is not a complete asshole... He will not tell you fat if it's not that necessary or you aren't THAT fat (deadmau5 - steve angello video opinion)... sorry for the bad english, I hope it was legible

[@MythicSuns]

Alf in summary he'll only insult you if you need to be insulted.

[@MatArti]

***** Maybe not "insulted"... not necessarily... just the things as they are

[@jgspartan11757]

I just love how he's an independent and humble man

[@CJMattias]

He will be remembered as a legend where as others will fade into nothingness

[@TheChadPad]

I wish more artists would do the same. We need more realness in the music scene. The pocketbook is controlling the music a little too much

[@gamer22887]

i like the fact that he speaks his mind

[@urphakeandgey6308]

We need it more in the _"EDM"_ scene. It's so commercial and lifeless. Most artists have zero personality and never speak up. It's all PR bullshit and fake smiles while the music degrades.

[@LewisKas]

I think that’s why Daft Punk retired, the music industry is changing so fast and now it’s just artists that want fame and money, nobody wants to take things to the next level and do something mind blowing, we don’t have any idols in our generation

[@RajBeats]

And this is why hes the goat, he built a whole world and ecosystem off his own authenticity and creative expression and doesn't give a fuck how the chips fall

[@shaymary5247]

I hear you out, Zimmerman! INDEPENDENT. All the way!!!!!

[@Nyconbr]

0:52 I just wonder what Ganon's up to

[@christoroppolo8742]

Me too! Peace Christo 👽✌🏻🎶

[@christoroppolo8742]

The social media is really overwhelming if it is eating valuable research for some of us who are not as fortunate as you Joel..or as savvy to it all. Peace Christo 🎶👽✌🏻

[@andrewmaclean9810]

This is why hes a legend. And also whenever hes calling people out I would say usually what hes saying ain't wrong lmao

[@zackmack9461]

And now look at his social media-Label Controlled. Joel drove himself on the brink of madness with Twitter. But it’s all good! He was getting to caught up in bullshit anyway. The Mau5 reigns supreme!

[@LEISMINOR]

nice questions by asqme...

[@karlaarellano8842]

Do you people even know who is him?!

[@armanrozika]

seriously, dude? where have you been this whole time?

[@trgrgtgrtgr7724]

A lot of others artists are speaking their mind. It’s just that if you are not behaving like an asshole, people think that you are an dishonest person.
