South African hip-hop group Die Antwoord turned down a tour offer from Lady Gaga.

The Zef group, whose name means “The Answer” in Afrikaans, Watkin Tudor “Ninja” Jones (tattooed pre-balls-drop-voiced tongue-twister) + Yolandi “Yo-Landi Vi$$er” Visser (voice of a horror movie baby + a blonde Lisbeth Salander ‘do), sat down with MTV Canada to spit some trufs:

Weird shit’s been happening, like fucking Lady Gaga asked us to tour with her and we’re like, ‘No, don’t worry about it.’ Cause we’re just in another zone, like, operate in another kind of dimension to everything. We like making pop music, but we like making hardcore music at the same time, mixing them, but they’ve got, like, soul. It’s got a lot of layers, it’s powerful. It’s not like weak, superficial shit. You know?
I think they though we were just like a weird, strange act, then like ‘Let’s just let them have their fun for a while, and then when it comes to their second album we’ll have them play games.’ They were looking at Lady Gaga + The Black Eyed Peas and that type of shitty pop music, and were thinking we could, like, twist into that.

Fact. Lady Gaga’s music, catchy as it can be, is not revolutionary to me. I love some of her songs (“Just Dance,” “Paparazzi,” “Alejandro,” “The Edge of Glory,” “Yoü + I”), but most of the other tracks are dumpster.

Check out the video for Die Antwoord’s amazing single “I Fink U Freeky” from their 2012 sophomore LP, Ten$Ion.

Femcee Azealia Banks came out as bisexual!

Ms. Banks told The New York Times:

I’m not trying to be, like, the bisexual, lesbian rapper. I don’t live on other people’s terms.

Not only does electro hop joint “212” BEAST like an African jungle but now that she’s an out + proud bisexual, I am loving her even more. Let’s hope she’s not a Cynthia Nixon bisexual. She’s about to BLOW a big dick a bushy pussy!

BONUS: Check out Ms. Banks’ upcoming club banger single, “Liquorice,” with a forthcoming music video by international fashion designer Nicola Formichetti (MUGLER creative director + Lady Gaga collaborator.

2012 is going to be K-Pop’s breakthrough year in the States if this Girls’ Generation performance of their hit single “The Boys” on the Late Show With David Letterman is any indication.

Though I am lukewarm on the actual song (produced by GG’s S.M. Entertainment chairman 이수만 (Lee Soo Man) and co-written by new jack swing creator + BLACKstreet leader Teddy Riley), the superstar nonet chanteuses still give good dance + hairography (thanks Glee). However, they have far hotter songs than this bland, basic shit, but the new electropop dance breaks-heavy arrangement may appeal to the mindless drivel purveyors of Katy Perry, Rihanna, Flo Rida, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas … you get the Poloroid.

I’m still waiting on my 2NE1 to get their act together and début in the States. Sigh.

Cynthia Nixon needs a big case of STFU gravy on a biscuit. Looks like it’s [BI]Sex + the Shitty.

First, she told The New York Times:

I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.

Then, she responded in an interview with author Kevin Sessums (I loved his Mississippi Sissy) on The Daily Beast:

I think for gay people who feel 100 percent gay, it doesn’t make any sense. And for straight people who feel 100 percent straight, it doesn’t make any sense. I don’t pull out the “bisexual” word because nobody likes the bisexuals. Everybody likes to dump on the bisexuals. […] But we get no respect. […] I do completely feel that when I was in relationships with men, I was in love and in lust with those men. And then I met Christine [Marinoni] and I fell in love and lust with her. I am completely the same person and I was not walking around in some kind of fog.

Though I agree with her that bisexuals get no respect, her analysis of homosexual/bisexual “choice” is absolutely wrought with self-loathing. The “choice” debate bothers me almost as much as people calling it “sexual preference/orientation.” Sexual preferring someone can have nothing to do with their feelings of love (the filter by which I always measured sexuality), not lust. Also, orientation makes it sound like we are compass points on a map. Stop trying to define me and start respecting me.

So, Ms. Nixon, not only were we born this way, but we r who we r, which is fuckin’ perfect + beautiful. Joining the defying gravity cause may not always be in vogue but we will survive whether you join us over the rainbow or not. As you show your true colors, I am here to tell you we will be free and we are telling you we’re not going!

Madonna finally called out superstar Lady Gaga for pilfering pinching plundering purloining ripping off swindling thieving sampling Madge’s 1989 single “Express Yourself” for her 2011 #1 single “Born This Way.”

“I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was … interesting.
[…]
I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done.”

Oh, Stefani better get a tan because that’s some serious shade.

Boring Funny SNL skit mocking the sitch.

HOT mash-up of “Express Yourself” + “Born This Way” that actually makes me like not hate “Born This Way.”

Reason #123,456,789 to hate Lady Gaga: She’s allegedly hitting this:

Taylor Kinney.

He co-stared with the erstwhile Stefani Germanotta in her “Yoü + I” video. Oh, and he was a sexy-ass werewolf on The Vampire Diaries, a CW teeny-bopper draema that I was am obsessed with. But you don’t care about that.

Check out the mancandy that is licking Gaga’s disco stick.
