Relax, Don't Do It: Das Racist & Patrick Wimberly Make Late Night Debut on Conan (Behind The Scenes of "Michael Jackson" & RELAX)
"About a year and half ago, [Heems] sent me a bunch of Bollywood tracks he wanted to sample. I'd take the tracks and chop them up on my MPC and then just let them fuck around until we'd found something we liked... "Michael Jackson" was originally an entirely different song. Right after we made the beat, the guys rapped on it and then it just sat in our vault for about 8 months. The next time we listened to it, we decided to trash all the verses and put the newly-written ["Mike"] hook on it. Then they wrote the final verses. We were working on that track off and on for almost an entire year. I probably did about 25 mixes before I got to the version that's on the record!" - Patrick Wimberly
The creative forces over at "Conan" somehow managed to lock in an appearance from Brooklyn's favourite HipsterIndie Hip-Hop darlings, Das Racist. Last night marked the debut Late Night television appearance from Heems, Kool A.D. and Dapwell - Joined by Patrick Wimberly (drums). Wimberly moonlights as 1/2 of Dream Pop-Experimental group, Chairlift. Most recently, he crafted 5 beats for Das Racist... in addition to recording, executive producing, and mixing down the entirely of Relax. The above excerpt was pulled from a [personal] emailed exchange with Patrick Wimberly, himself. The page-long pre-written account, which chronicles his first-hand experience with Relax, was sent out to a handful of inquisitive, young Journalists (August 2011). Das Racist & Patrick Wimberly effectively breached Nov. 29-30 Late Night television transmissions nation-wide at roughly 11:56 pm; Deeply confusing and delighting viewers with each approaching minute. Performance high-lights [low-lights] included: Dapwell's authoritative podium/bellowed vocal refrains, bat-less "Dizzy Bat," a LIVE beat-making MPC, wigged out Afros, hot posing ladies playing cymbals, seamless drum-keys change-up, Michael Jackson impersonator (Dub Interlude), and much much more! Das Racist's proper debut full-length, Relax is now available for mass consumption. While the Jan. 24th release date of Chairlift's long awaited follow-up, Something is without a doubt fast-approaching.
Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra
Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
