Das Racist Pays Tribute To MJ In New Video

Myles Tanzer — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:32:31 +0000

Das Racist, Brooklyn’s jokester rappers, just released the video for their first single “Michael Jackson.” The video features old white people, an MJ impersonator, and fire — lots of it.

The videos best moment is a goofy copy of the multi-race-morph from Jackson’s “Black or White” video that ends with a dogs face. Michael would’ve loved this video if he was alive. It’s so racially inclusive, silly, and just bizarre enough.

If you enjoy pictograms, minimalism and timeline infographics, you’ll dig these neat minimalist pictrogram timelines of historical and pop culture villains and heroes, dig ‘em hard. Sabine Troisvallets of design house H-57 has creatively illustrated seven noteworthy fates. Proceed to see Jacko fade away and Marie Antoinette lose her cake-hole and the pretty little head that went with it.

Who knew that the icon from that button you push to order up a watered-down alchoholic beverage on your coach flight could be reborn to signify the core cause of Bruce Lee’s demise? Deep.

This recently unveiled sculpture in the window of East London’s Premises Studios immortalizes the King of Pop’s infamous over-the-balcony jiggle of son Prince Michael II. Now, the studio is being bombarded with hate mail, death threats and arson-menacing ultimatums. That’s hilarious since Swedish-born, Los Angeles-based artist Maria von Köhler actually intends the Jacko Madonna and Child to comment on extreme, worshiping fandom, ’cause there it is. The sculpture will stay so tensely poised through May 1st when it heads to LA. Uh oh.

David LaChapelle’s newly opened solo exhibit at Paul Kasmin Gallery features the divine adventures of Michael Jackson, conveniently shot just a year before the death of the “modern martyr.” Also: a critique of the Catholic Church’s corruption with vague bondage and much bling and Rape of Africa, a spin of glamorized politics over Botticelli’s Venus & Mars (the possible “acid trippers”). Preview the work below.

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Too Busy Hiding Drug Evidence To Administer CPR

Bucky Turco — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 05:49:24 +0000

While Michael Jackson was lying there in his bed, dying, the pop star’s doctor, Conrad Murray, a Freemason, allegedly stopped giving him CPR and “delayed calling paramedics” so he could gather up miscellaneous “drug vials” according to the Associated Press. They cite the testimony of Jackson aide Alberto Alvarez, who was present in the bedroom as the doctor was scrambling about. He also insists that Murray discussed returning to Jackson’s residence to retrieve some special cream “so the world wouldn’t find out about it.” The Los Angeles coroner’s office declared the singer’s death a homicide and the doctor is due in court on April 5th to face involuntary manslaughter charges. |AP|

Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody’s gone mad
