LMFAO: Where Are They Now? (Their Brutal Decline)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2022
- LMFAO were once a trailblazing Uncle-Nephew duo who took the world by storm earlier this decade with hits such as "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I know it". However, it felt as though one day, they were gone without a trace, never to be heard from ever again. Where are they now? What happened to LMFAO? We wanted to explore why LMFAO ended, during which we discovered an absolute goldmine of information about Redfoo and Sky Blu's catastrophic falling out.
This is, What Happened To LMFAO? (Their Brutal Decline)
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤
The idea for this video was partially inspired by "honest" who posted a video on a similar topic in February 2019 titled "LMFAO: Where Are They Now?" You can watch his version here - • LMFAO: Where Are They ... - Розваги
"you just kept Shuffling without me" is so heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time
I almost cracked up when he said that
@@WittyOriginalUsername me too!🤭 Shame what fame can do. I liked them and they both seem like positive dudes. Maybe they can get it together. People have come back from a lot worse in that industry.

@@chernobylcoleslaw6698 *LMFAO
They really came, party rocked, apologized, and left before anyone could ever forgive them. 😔
Beautiful comment 😭
Deep
I never forgave them.
the lesson to learn is never apologize
No one should forgive them. Their music should be be illegal.
Party Rock Anthem has a special place in my heart because back in college while I was working on an important group project my group would dance to that instead of helping me
@Hairy Titties & The Moist Clitoria you were the group member who was dancinc
@Hairy Titties & The Moist Clitoria u read this properly?
real. I remember being in elementary school and hearing party rock anthem playing during our PE warmups first thing in the morning, and ngl, that sh!t got me pumped. (I’m 22 now). Their music gave me such a good feeling back then as a little kid, and I can’t even lie, I still love their music. I know they’re never coming back, but I still will listen to them every once in a while.. just to feel like a happy young kid again. They’re “washed up” to most people I’m sure, but to me, their music and act is unforgettable.
Bro 😂😂😂
@@trashcat420 Nah, OP was being sarcastic by saying only people who are worthless like them. Good to know where you fit now, rather than finding out you are not useful later in life.
Don't bother responding, because I don't talk twice to pieces of shit.
LMFAO is the primary example of why blood and money doesn't mix. They may have only existed for 4 years, but they absolutely RULED those 4 years.
Na money and assholes don't mix.
@@harrycake9407 Yeah it is true also... If Redfoo would really care about Sky Blu he would at least talked to him or something even after the tour ended but just vanished. Another classic example is Oasis
Nah this is a prime example of why *bad* blood and money doesn’t mix.
Just like how trash normally runs mainstream for about 4 years until people wake up 😂😂
@@harrycake9407 as much as that should be true, it isnt lmao. the wealthiest people on this planet all got there by being gigantic assholes.
“Party rock anthem” was the most overplayed song ever and I’m not joking. Anyone who can take themselves back to 2011 knows how impossible it was to escape that song. The only other close contenders for most overplayed since then would be “I have a feeling” by black eyed peas or “shape of you” by Ed sheeran
“Happy” by Pharrell Williams & every Bruno Mars’ hit songs are also overplayed
@@InternetAntagonist despacito is up there as well
Yes it was everywhere
Closer by The Chainsmokers also
at least I have a feeling and Shape Of You were feel good and good catchy songs, Party Rock Anthem you just remember "shake that" and an annoying beat
I worked with this girl at a Subway and thought she was completely lying when she said Red Foo was her cousin. She pulls up her Facebook with family pictures of this man at her high school graduation, I was shook to my core.

Finally it’s here,
@Jacket. report, block, and move on.
@Jacket. engaging only fuels their desire to continue. If everyone eventually blocks them... they'll just be screaming at the void. There are people worth expressing differing opinions with, these are not those people.
Suuuuuuuure.
I rememeber on Facebook asking a girl what she was doing and she told me "nothing just shuffling" and I don't think I replied back to that message 😂
The grip that LMFAO's music had on my entire personality at 14 years old was truly unmatched
Im sorry
It’s a very sad ending for them
I completely understand why Sky Blu was mad when his uncle left him behind to tour. He probably thought they were going to make it together as family. I get how he felt betrayed but I can also see Red Foo’s point of view.
This wasn’t his first time trying to make music and while for his nephew it was all new and fun he probably thought this was his last shot. For the first time in his career he was getting mainstream attention and probably was afraid of their success going away if he didn’t act fast. And I don’t blame him for thinking that way.
At least he had some years of success cause he did lose his momentum after the tour.
Yeah but he could have at least spoke to the man, checked in him before he left and keep updated on how he was doing
Obligations Marielaa..obligations.
He could have kept going if he would have paid his nephew. And it goes without saying that he should have kept in contact with him and cared about how he was doing. If it were me I would have paid him and been there. It’s bs
Family always comes first, so I disagree with this one ngl. I'd never pick myself
So because your band member has a sore back you call off EVERY show and let all the fans down just so you and your feelings are okay? Bruh Grow TF Up is what i would say..
THIS is why you never do business with family. @@mrcritical6751
I would not really call myself a fan of LMFAO, yet I can recite every one of their major hits. Just goes to show how famous they were. You couldn’t do almost anything without hearing one of their songs
@AlbertsStuff okiiii. B bbjj
In all fairness their lyrics weren't that complex.
Truth. Literally their songs are always playing to this day
True, unfortunately
Right. Never downloaded a song but I know the lyrics to their songs
Its honestly kind of sad how big they blew up and how quickly the bottom fell out. Their music changed the mix of radio music at the time, like every other song was some kind of big room house there for a while. Really shows you that no matter how big you blow up, if you don't keep the ball rolling you can very quickly lose it all.
Honestly they are a product of their time
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 a time of actual fun
@@HonkeyKong54 Yeah i'm filled with pure nostalgia every time my 7 year old daughter wants to shuffle to Party Rock Anthem. Shit was so much simpler and light-hearted back then.
very true
what does the fox say
LMFAO will always be the duo that made the BEST party vibe in history. If you think of the word "party", their music and style is the definition of it
These guys made 2011-2013 the most party rock years of my life.i regret nothing
Not a thing.
They came out of nowhere and made a couple of INSANELY popular hit songs, then vanished in what seemed like a year. And nobody really even seemed to notice they were gone, or at least not many that I knew of. It was definitely brutal like you said
I just realized he never mentioned "Shots" in the video. Kind of a dumb banger imo
I never even gave it a thought until recently. I mean, these guys were HUGE and had hit after hit, but then just went away out of nowhere and never really made any headlines anymore
this entire sentence is useless in place of the actual video
Nahhh they had another hit song in 2009 called La La La
When they were on the radio people were fans but them disappearing was almost a reason people needed to forget them.They aren’t even mentioned as if they never existed
I have never once gone out of my way to search for any single LMFAO song EVER in my life and I still know every word to most of their hit songs. Just goes to show how crazy popular they were
Yeah and how basic their songwriting was lol
@@Jl2damax yeah but it just goes to show you don't need to be a lyrical genius to succeed just gotta write something catchy and play it on a lit beat
Goes to show how manufactured they were.

Wow stereo 2011
I remember them back in high school. To me they blew up the hipster/party culture with all of the obnoxiously large glasses, loud clothes and up beat music.

As a Teenager at the time, I did love their music and would always blast it in middle school. I still go back and listen to their music every now and then. However, I don’t think a reunion would be successful because their main audience (middle schoolers to college students) are all grown up now and I just don’t see it hitting us like it did when we were immature crazy students just being goofy and dancing.

Fun fact: Redfoo co-wrote a song "We Want The Funk" by Ahmad back in 1994 which would later be sampled on "King Kunta" by Kendrick Lamar, which landed Redfoo a credit as a writer on the song and on the album "To Pimp a Butterfly"

Man I can still remember how their songs went. Shows how catchy they were. Never knew they were nephew and uncle and they hated each other. It shows they were a gimmicky duo so people didn't care about their solo stuff after. Because they were meme worthy rather than musically interesting
yeah, that's why they were rated abysmally haha
I never even knew the nephew existed. I thought it was only the afro boy lmao
Idk, i dont wanna sound like a dick but im grew up on long island.. fuckin people party pretty hard here. I wouldnt say this song was like, idk. I definitly dont remember any other songs by them thats for sure. Were they catchey, i guess, but if there dad wasnt who he was, would they have gotten that chance at stardom to begin with, i doubt it. Idk if u understand how hard it is to get radio statios to break a record, and start playing it.... someshit like party rock yeah barry made damn sure the radios were playing that asap that wasnt bein blackballed, if he wasnt there, i dont think that song woulda even came out im just being dead honest. Who knows if they even came up with the hook any of that song themselves, the problem is there dad, he has more connections in the music industry on the level of michael jackson were talking, he could snap his fingers and have the best rap producers giving him free beats. The told lauren hill of the fugees to go solo, SHE DIDNT and stuck with those dudes and rapped yo, when she could of fucking exploded, u know whole killing me softly song u hear? yeah thats her, if its a female singen it thats her. She could of legit been huge but chose to be real. There shit was popular but, cmon now, it wasnt bein played on rotation in ever bar and club like people here are saying... cmon, it was more of like a wedding banger type of song, i mean thats what the song is now... someshit theyll throw on at a wedding or someshit to get people like dancing. Im not about to get up here and say this was some generation defining song caus it wasnt lol. It was a catchy bubblegum radio hit.
For the time party rock was pretty good. Nowadays it's not great in comparison to other EDM
LMFAO would do insanely well if they dropped a new album today. They were such a unique duo who were genuinely fun to watch.
I actually don’t think so. I think we live in different times where the strange humor wouldn’t be accepted by majority of the audience that was once there.
They shuffled into our lives then shuffled out of it 😢 but will shuffle on in all our hearts forever🫡

It always takes me aback when i realise their songs are old enough to have been part of someone's "childhood", since I was in college when they came out, lol.

This guy always does a great job with his videos. The topics and how he explains the start of each problem to the end of it is easy to follow and nice to hear. His thumbnails are also very consistent, bright, and eye catching.

I used to talk to them on their Myspace page when they had less than 300 friends, lol. I had their song "yes" as my profile music and they contacted me to thank me. I believe it was RedFoo that I talked to most of the time. There ended up being several small conversations. A few years later, Myspace was gone and these dudes were #1 artists. Blew my mind.

LMFAO's music is so emblematic of the early 2010s. It's loud, fun, in your face and tells you that everything will be alright. I will always have fondness for it. It's a contrast to where music is now where it's more often mid-tempo and faces our anxieties head-on. Like it too though.
Much prefer their elector big room house. I like future bass and stuff but it doesn’t make you feel like everything is alright
They were lying about the “everything will be alright” part

@@freyafoxmusic future bass? Like Snails house and Deon Trimmer?

LMFAO shows what I miss about music from a decade ago. Yes the music was often bad but when it was bad it was bad enough to laugh at and there was alot to talk about. Now when the music is bad it is just so boring.
Like Weird Al Yankovic or The Lonely Island
Right it was enjoyable and created many memories. I would always be able to have at least one song each year that defined my whole year. Now that’s hard to come by because music isn’t as iconic as it once was
Todays music sounds so tryhard, idk how to explain but everyone is just trying to follow niche's now, with no originality and the experimentation that old music has
@@oofery5139 today’s music is all just rehashed samples of music from 10+ years ago with little to no effort
@@oofery5139 I dunno if I'd entirely agree with that. If we're talking pop music and stuff like that, then yeah sure, you're totally right. But if you look at rock or metal, there's been some total banger albums in the past few years.

Yeah, he looked up to him ever since he was a kid. I can’t think of anything more betraying.
This man's videos are so well done, here I am a year later, drunk, way too invested into a video documentary about LMFAO.
Party Rock Anthem has a special place in my heart because back in college while my group and I were working on an important project, we decided to jam out. Thankfully, we got the work done too
Very disturbing that Redfoo wouldn't even go CHECK on his nephew when he hurt himself after the show. That is honestly the worst part of this whole story. Makes me sad - I really liked that guy.
Talk about betrayal. I hope that 8ky soon becomes way more successful than RedFoo ever has been because he really deserves it
man miss 2010s
LMFAO was everywhere back in 2011 and 2012.Even though their music was cheesy,I actually miss the electro and dance pop music from that time it was fun and never meant to be taken seriously compared to pop music nowadays.
I’d much rather have songs to dance to in the club rather than to dance to on TikTok, even though I never go to the club. If pop music is gonna be dumb, as it usually is, it might as well be fun enough to keep anyone from caring.
I really liked when pop was more electro and house oriented rather than trap and moombah oriented. So much more to explore within those subgenres tbh
hyperpop is anything, but serious and extremely versatile
and i enjoy it a lot more than i did this back in the days
Lyrically, they were never that great. It's the mix of electronic amd hip hop beats that made them special

"The party must go on" mentality vs the care for family is what killed LMFAO. That is fucking disturbing & overall appaling. If you go into fame with a relative or close friend you should know better but this is a example of how fame fucks people up

Right! I feel people are glossing over that whole part of their story. That shit is sad what happened to Blue
They where already set and privileged for life. Look at their family, that's like saying a Soros nephew made their millions themselves.
I have a bit of a different view, I would just say things like money or fame just exposes what was already there. That's how I feel about this situation, The uncle just kinda sucks as a person.
Exactly. Their downfall seemed to start once the uncle thought he could take LMFAO and do it by himself. Really feel bad for Blu, his uncle didn't even check on him once he broke part of his back.
Party Rock Anthem was literally inescapable in 2011, me and my friend even attempted to do the shuffle for our dance performance into year 7, it was kinda cringe but still. Only other song to maybe get close before that was Owl City - Fireflies.

He does make music still, he was featured in his sisters song kinda recently (his sister is Mahogany LOX, her song got popular on tiktok a few years back)
The Discogs thing you highlighted is not how many sold, but how many the members on Discogs have it in their collection - It has nothing to do with sales of the item.
Especially considering there aren't millions of Discogs users
@@robbiemcneish4459 I'm pretty sure there has to be millions of discogs users when nearly a million have The Dark Side Of The Moon listed as want and around 400k have it listed as have. That's like 1.4 million users and while it's a popular album I think it's safe to assume not every single user either has or wants it. But yeah the number on discogs itself doesn't really tell you much. But when only 44 people listed it, it's safe to assume they didn't sell a ton of them.
I was thinking the same thing, but wanted to be sure.
If they are tactical and strategic about it, their return as a duo could result in them being on the EDM festival circuit year in and year out. They have to hit the nail on the head, but they have so much nostalgic strength that it could work.

The “selling only 44 copies according to discogs” isn’t really correct. Discogs doesn’t track sales, that number is the amount of discogs-registered users that claim they own that release. There’s probably many unaccounted-for copies as well
Was just about to comment the same thing. It isn’t the total sales, it was probably a good bit more. Just 44 people who have a Discogs account have it in their collection.
Agree and I was going to post a similar comment. I also think that Discogs only tracks sales of items sold through that website.
I had to pause the video when I saw that. I like this guy's videos but honestly I think that simple (even if it was honest) mistake is going to make me question his credibility a little.
@@trentbarnett7208 Yeah that's why I never take youtubers too seriously with these kinds of video essays. There are some who consistently provide plenty of sources/evidence and have a good reputation for being trustworthy, but even then blindly trusting them isn't a good idea (see John Swan). So I typically treat these types of channels as infotainment but don't take them as 100% fact.
Also, this was around the time UA-cam had less ads and people would listen to music on it and also YTMP3 and MP3 pirating sites were coming up.
I went to infantry basic training in 2011. My drill sergeants used party rock to very successful augment the usually purely physical torture. It was very effective, but I think it has had lasting damage.
Oof another nostalgia trip... It's like remembering a wild night out... but while "camping". Thanks for the insight, it looks like they fall apart before "we" even started listening to them LMFAO
Right now would be the perfect time to get back together and drop an album. Everyone for the early to late 00s has been doing it.
@@AmazingRofa YOU ARE A TIRE
Such as
It would either be super successful or would bomb to oblivion.
who’s done it
Honestly sounds right for them to release another album post covid lockdowns for some areas
I’d completely forgotten about them till this thumbnail popped up… it’s still crazy to me to think that this is what dominated American music at the time, I do kind of miss it though. That one party rockers song I heard play on the radio for days on end when I was in middle school but I never knew what these guys looked like or anything because I didn’t see their music videos, didn’t know they fell out with each other either
why would you expect something like that to last more than 5 minutes anyway?
I actually forgot about these guys.
'Sorry for Party Rocking' has a special place in my heart, as it was the soundtrack to a memorable summer with my best friend and his older brother. We were having so much fun back then, and LMFAO's music was so fitting to the mood. Eleven long years have passed, my best friend is still there, but I'm no longer in touch with his brother. We all grew up and moved on. I guess LMFAO did too. But the music has that ability to capture memories and bring them back to life as soon as you hit play. So anytime I want to be 17 again for a few minutes, I just blow the dust off a track from SFPR.
I'm sorry you can't get double teamed by your friend and his brother anymore :(
@@patrickbateman312 sucks this guy can't get pegged by two dudes while singing "everyday we shuffling"
So basically you screwed your BFF’s brother. I sympathize tho, when the D is good, the D is good.
@@Heybabetv lol at you guys' interpretation of my comment. It's not because I did not talk about girls that there were no girls involved. Speaking about double team action or screwing my BFF's brother says more about you than it does about me, I'm afraid. :D
@@Heybabetv lol, wth is wrong with you guys?
It seems unlikely. But I would love a LMFAO reunion. Just one song to brighten up our 2022. We need to Party Rock Again
Nah we really dont
@@gangahuweed3012 sorry for party rocking
Nah shit aged horrible
@@PsykohsiX you should be sorry for being a nostlagia blinded sheep
Just subbed!! Found your videos today and just watched the one on LMFAO!! Hella enjoy these!! Cheers and thank you!! 🤘🤘
They were so huge in my middle school days. Even shaped my scene girl phase with their fashion senses lol
I haven't thought about them in a decade. It feels like a lifetime ago, honestly.
1:22 is definitely not representative. Discogs is a user collection database and marketplace for keeping track of physical media. The 44 copies listed there as "have" are owned by people that signed up on discogs and added it to their personal collection. To put that into perspective: Only about 265k copies of Michael Jacksons "Thriller" are currently listed as "have" on the site.
Shows the lack of overall insight and understanding that goes into this channel's content.
was waiting to see someone point this out, like less than 2 minutes of understanding how discogs works you'd be able to tell that the "have" stat is for people who've just catalogued it in their collection
Channel creator just reads off Wikipedia.
I spotted that too, so frustrating when proper fact-checking isn't done for a video that's gonna get over a million views.
Thank you for this! I suppose we all should be more wary of channels like these. I personally like them as background noise but its good to know
8:38 “you just kept shuffling without me” holy shit, why is that so sad to me 😔 Can say I purchased this album as a kid and remember my moms reaction 😂
How did your mom react?
what was her reaction like???
The secret took me back! My mom lived by that book/show for so long I’m sure if I break out the dvds I’d be able to find it, I’m sure we have the book somewhere too 😂
I havent heard Sexy and I know it or Party Rock Anthem for God knows how many years, but if the beat is turned on right now, I can sing to it without forgetting a single word. That's how successful they were. Nothing but respect for the dudes!!!
No it's just the music was simple and repetitive it wasn't because the song was good and the group isn't that memorable.
@@russellwilson9911 no its actually a f*cking fact...who the hell defends lmfao or bad mainstream all together.?
MAJOR L!
I’ve been wondering what had happened to these two for so many years and it’s insane how short their popularity was. It’s truly shocking how fast they disappeared.
I have yet to come across a comment that mentions how catchy “La La La” is. Man, now THAT song sticks in my head way more than all the others.
I feel like they reached their peek at 2012 as all us kids who listened to it as we partied graduated and grew up
These dudes literally came in, made revolutionary hits, and dipped. Crazy that they couldn’t keep things going.
My timeline recently updated me that ten years ago I went to one of their shows. It's still to this day my most memorable concert EVER.
Like others have said you couldn't escape their music back then. The pop sound at the time was either discount electro house - Daft Punk was through with it before they knew what to do with it - or discount dubstep, and LMFAO was definitely in the former category. It's strange that this was a decade ago already, and even if the music was vapid it was hard not to have fun with it and dance. Had no idea there was this much drama though. Also shuffling is still pretty fun to do.
I am actually surprised that critics gave them 1 star reviews. I remember when they came out and I actually really liked their music. It wasn't my favorite album by a large margin but it wasn't bad.
Now if they were reviewing the music videos then I could understand. I didn't really like those, but I was 12 at the time and didn't really get some of those adult concepts yet.
8:47 "you just kept shuffling everyday without me"
bro how did he put that in a serious letter
I'm still listening to their music, I don't think anyone can peak the energy their songs give
“ITs FinaLlY hErE” 🤓
Stop the cap
@@Jurissic daft punk?
@@Hotlmao The bots are plentiful today
Bruh I can barely listen to the same song for 3 months without getting bored unless it's like classic rock or something, how tf are you still listening to this lmao
Always preferred the „Party Rock“ Album over „Sorry for Party Rocking“. La La La was my Jam. Crazy how time flies. Thanks for the video.
This group was popular when I first started middle school. Such a developmental time.
I remember watching Party Rock Anthem, singing the song and dancing the music, those times are truly nostalgic
I remember having them at the radio,the malls,the stores,schools etc
