Saturday, September 3, 2011What's Up...
A few days ago I learned something very disturbing. One of my biggest heroes - Jack White has a new collaboration for his Third Man Records production company. Normally, I'd be ecstatic - he's worked with Alicia Keys, DangerMouse, Jimmy Paige, Jerry Lee Lewis, Loretta Lynn...the list goes on and on, and I've appreciated all of them. I mean, this guy has formed two supergroups with other talented musicians and succeeds in rock, blues, bluegrass, country, etc. I was expecting the same quality and caliber of collaborators.
So...brace yourself. Jack White has indeed collaborated with...Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. (Wait those are names?) These fellas are the members of Insane Clown Posse. If you aren't familiar with them, they wear clown makeup and came up with a new style of rap called "horrorcore." I have listened to the song, and the music isn't too bad - since they borrow from a certain Mozart song. But the lyrics feature gems such as "Mozart - dope for the most part / respected - cause he knows art".
I haven't featured the video today - it's not exactly safe for work. And if you really gotta hear it, search online for it. Instead, I decided to post a much classier video of Jack White performing at the White House for Paul McCartney. He's covering "Mother Nature's Son" for the Beatles-legend and the Obamas. What a wonderfully strange life he leads.
