Speaking with Pitchfork on Friday, Santigold very colorfully goes into detail about recording her new record as well as her thoughts on the pop landscape. But, you know, since this is Where’s The Beef?, we’re totally gonna pick out the part where she talked shit. Behold:
I’m disappointed with the state of music right now, but it’s not really about anybody specific. I think there’s a lack of true art, and the fanfare is valued over actual substance. It’s like you don’t have to make good music to be fucking huge. Now, I’ll say that, and all the little kids will be like, “Fuck you. I hope you die.” [laughs] Don’t let them think you dissed Lady Gaga!
I watched a music awards show last year and started crying afterwards. I just felt really sad that people go along with stupid wack shit. I’m sorry, but LMFAO performed at the Super Bowl? Aren’t they a joke band? That type of shit makes me cry. I’m like, “Really?”
(via Pitchfork)
Joke band, Santi?! You’re talking about direct descendents of Motown royalty and one of the best party rock groups ever to feature an uncle and his nephew! Does that mean nothing to you?
But, seriously. Santigold’s new album, Master of My Make Believe, is out 5/1 via Downtown/Atlantic.

We don’t need all this beef in music today. C’mon, everybody just have a good time!
Common and Drake should hold a ceasefire for all music. This would be a good thing for like, a second intermission of an NHL game.

Yeah, everyone knows there can be only one non-white female musician at a time!
^this^
Right after I posted this, I got the LMFAO press release for their “Sorry For Party Rocking” world tour. I have a suspicion that they’re not sorry at all.
“Sorry For Making Millions!”
(partygame?)
“Sorry For Not Getting Haircuts!”
Even if they were I wouldn’t accept their apology
Santi…who? LOL
But seriously, Santi…what?
LOL! Santi…why?
But seriously, Santi…how?
I really mean it, Santi…when?
Santi! … where?
LOL
negative vote comments are always the best in the thread
I start crying whenever I hear stereo heart on the radio. What a lovely piece of art.
Everyday I’m shit talkin’…bumbumbumbum bowbumbum
I don’t really know anything about Santigold tbh, but LMFAO can suck it! They are the worst.
I don’t care who they are related to.
they’re just related to each other i think.

a better “correction ***” would have been, “Just kidding, you guys!”

Yeah, because Lady Gage didn’t recycle Madonna’s “Vogue” on “Born This Way”. No, not at all.
Does being a joke automatically make it bad?
If the joke is one note and not funny, then I would say yes.
I don’t get it Santi, what is it about two grown men decked out in robust afros and garish leopard prints making shitty radio anthems that seems like a joke to you?
Yea! This is way more serious!
Yes, it is amazing.
It still begs the question – who actually cares? Meshuggah are on tour this spring!
It’s Halftime in America. Get ready to barf.
Corniest commercial I have ever seen.

that was a joke right?
LMFAO are so fucking underground digital underground, you guys.
great points all.
LMFAO just decided they wanted to get paid instead of being a bloghouse joke band for another couple of years… considering their alternatives, it was the smartest choice. santigold is just mad. she isn’t exactly rising to the top of the music world so she’s just crying in public.
I can’t blame her, LMFAO are the absolute shits. Can’t stand them and this whole stupid “Sorry for party rocking” thing. That’s not even a thing! It’s just something you’ve made up!! You’re just taking two words that aren’t necessarily mutualyy exclusive and putting them together for no reason!!!
What, do you eat everyone’s food in catering then go “sorry for feast munching”, or dance your ass off at a gig and go “sorry for rave moshing”.
Also I heard one of them actually speak, and he literally sounded like S.Mouse from Angry Boys.
“sorry for feast munching”!!!
