Following all the action of a old-timer’s circle jerk like yesterday’s Grammy Awards was pretty tough, but one thing that kept the whole shebang borderline entertaining (besides Frenchman David Guetta turning up the cringe factor with his award) was the running commentary from Mad Decent main man Diplo who took to his Twitter account to wax dump on celebrities – “My girl @susanboyle is goin crazy dutty winin to pon the floor .. @kellyrowland is lookin puzzled” – and just act a fool – “i voted for huey lewis and the news in every category”.
The producer also took the time to make jibes at the queen diva herself, Beyonce, unveiling a Major Lazer cover of the singer’s radio ballad Halo mid ceremony.
“SERIOUSLY CANT BELIEVE beyonce won a GraNNY when My VErSiOn of HaLo with elefant man + @majorlazer is SoOO MUCH BETTER!” Diplo wrote, directing followers to a download link for the cover.
Embedded in the clip below, the Major Lazer cover of Halo takes the best bits of the original, namely the melody and anthemic aura, and throws the rest in the trash, instead filling the song with screwed beats, filthy rhymes and affected falsettos. If Diplo and Switch’s aim was to turn high school socials into squalid daggering tournaments, then congratulations guys!
