April 30th - Stars Without Makeup

Four of Diamonds - Stars Without Makeup
13 - Hip-Hopera (detail)

-

Drum and bass lines built from: 

Burial - Near Dark
DJ Assault - Ass N Titties (NSFW, obvi)

Samples from:

Reggie and the Full Effect - Getting By With It's (at 15:08)
David Bowie - Young Americans
Garbage - Special
The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes

-

This would be part of a larger piece (the full Hopera) about double standards and media saturation - most likely a playful interlude therein. An examination of a TMZ-style publication's feature on "Stars Without Makeup", this track would be a rundown of those maligned celebrities. Samples from Garbage's "Special" would put said song in an even more bitter context. "Celluloid Heroes" would provide a juxtaposition between new and old Hollywood...blahblahblah.

All you really need is this couplet.


Tila Tequila shed her carapace
Julianne Hough spent Halloween without blackface
