Santogold and the B-Boys

FROM MTV


Not content with just working with Pharrell and Strokes singer Julian Casablancas in a Converse ad and opening for Coldplay on their current tour, Santogold has her sights set on some major collaborations in the future. The “Lights Out” singer recently revealed to NME that she’s working on “something with Jay-Z; it’s kind of secret,” adding that “it’s just ‘cos we want to.”

Must be nice, right? Santi said she’s also working on a project with former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and recording a track with the Beastie Boys for their next record. But don’t think she’s turning into some hook queen.

“It’s not like ‘insert girl on chorus’ or anything,” she explained. “We’ll figure it out as we go along.” While a spokesperson for Santogold had no comment on the Jay-Z hookup, he did confirm that the singer is slated to work with Byrne soon and recently went into the studio with the Beastie Boys to work on a song for their next album, tentatively due out in 2009.

Her new album is really good by the way and so is her collabo with Spank Rock...

[AceFace]

^ agreed! she's great!

[RobMoney$]

I picked up the album this past summer when she appeared at The Roots Family Picnic here in Philly.

[beastieboysbaby]

yeah i always listen to her CD ! she's awesome, i love her.

[Brother McDuff]

In my own personal opinion, I think her self titled album was one of the, if not the best album from front to back I picked up of new music this year. Phenomenal record. Great pop songs, album cuts, freakout grooves, original style, you name it.

Not surprised the bboys tapped her for some shiznit, they've always got their finger on the pulse.

[milkboy009]

I'm SO FUCKING PUMPED for all these callabos the boys are doing!

[dirtydan11]

[milkboy009]

Well, i bet something with MIA shows up on the new album, but i dunno about the snoop track.... I bet we'll hear of a couple more.....

But i've finally heard this Santogold all the way through and LOVE IT!
in comparison to what i heard from the L.E.S. single its alot more rock than i thought it would sound like but i like it. Kinda like an 80's punk sound on some of the tracks...

From the Genius that is M2M:


Brooklyn-born rapper Santogold (http://www.myspace.com/santogold) revealed to NME (http://www.nme.com/news/beastie-boys/38353) that she is working on a track with the Beastie Boys for their record. To which I say, "Woo-hoo!" -- not only because I like Santogold and her 2008 self-titled release (http://www.amazon.com/Santogold/dp/B0017T6FSY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1216746224&sr=8-2), but also because I like the idea of the Beastie Boys working with a female artist. Beastie Boys have not collaborated with a female artist since the 90s when they worked with Miho Hatori (http://www.mihohatori.com/). (Hatori contributed to the Beastie Boys' songs "Twenty Questions," "I Don't Know," "Hail Sagan," "Start," and their cover of "Light My Fire.")



Just saying, she's not a rapper or Brooklyn born. If you heard one note of the album in which you claim to "really like" you'd know that.

A quick Wiki search on her pointed me to this interesting quote:


White caused controversy when pointing out that people were labeling her music as hip hop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop) and R&B (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_R%26B) because she is black, saying that that was racist. "Everyone is just so shocked that I don't like R&B. Are you shocked that Good Charlotte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Charlotte) isn't into R&B? Why does R&B keep coming into my interviews? It's pissing me off. I didn't grow up as a big fan of R&B and, like, what is the big shocker? It's stupid."


LOL Bloggers/wannabe journalists.

[jennyb]

Meh, I do love me some Santogold, but what I wanna see and am dying to see is "Beastie Boys" and the B-Boys!!! Fo realz. I want some Phat Beatz and sum Freshhhhhhhh Rhymesssssssssss stat!

It's nice that M2M edited the paragraph today so it now reads "artist" instead of "rapper", even if they didn't publish my comment I submitted pointing the gaffe out.

Santogold thinks M2M's racist. LOLZ

Is there a "they?"

[acamus]

Yup, there's a "they" and a "we" too.

RobMoney$, you must be the most miserable person on these boards.

[RobMoney$]

You know I saw those weirdo videos you made for that Yauch Q&A thing.
You look like Melrose Larry Green (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/45/110574940_dc82742380.jpg?v=0) from the Howard Stern Show.

[YoungRemy]

so there will be no throat peeing?

[RobMoney$]

Is this supposed to mean you've joined the family?
That's great news because they've been looking for someone to fill the "Grandpa Munster" role.

[YoungRemy]

Her new album is really good by the way and so is her collabo with Spank Rock...

nice. thanks for the tip
looking forward to where this album is headed...

Looks like someone was ahead of the game.

I seriously can't wait for this album.

[Micodin]

I picked up her cd when it came out more than a year ago. Some people are slow on the uptake.

I've been a fan of hers when she was doing shows at the Unitarian Church when she was in the band Stiffed.

When she hooked up with Diplo and put out the mix cd Top Ranking... It sealed the deal. Her shit is nice.

I was a fan of hers when she was still drawing with crayons. You lose.

[Bernard Goetz]

So is the new Beastie Boys album going to sorta be the new N.A.S.A. album?

[Kid Presentable]

Hope not. Too many collabs.

[Mr. Smacktackle]

Yes. It will be spacey.

Did Handsome Boy Modeling School drop on anyone's mind? Did on mine. How's Your Girl rules.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah but Paul and Dan....ahem Chest and Nathaniel....never stepped out on the mic on that. People are more thinking Crown Royal, and I can't say I blame em.

[Sesamehole]

I think I read that The Beasties said that M.I.A. is not on the album... and just to clarify her name is Santigold now not Santogold anymore.

[Micodin]

It wasn't a contest.

Seriously. I was just saying that a lot Philly peoples got to see her before her career took off.

For fucks sakes.

I just read the post of yours that Kid Presentable replied to - you are definitely backtracking. Your post was the epitome of "I knew before you" bragging.

Yeah. Exactly. You got me dead to rights.

All, I said was "some people are slow on the uptake".

It's not like I was claiming I was down with her.

Go get a hobby. And, go fuck yourself.

[Bernard Goetz]

go fuck yourself.

Good point. I was wrong about you.

[BeastieAlbum07]

so are they playing together tonight(
