Oh Diplo BB....
U've got it all
Fame
Fortune
A new hit book
Hit mp3s that DJs all around the world play
Women in different area codes
Women in different country codes
Ur own record label
A Blackburry commersh
Amazing turntable skills
Amazing Pro Tools/Ableton/Live/GarageBand skills
Friends with relevant humans like Steve Aoki
Tons of ethnic 'dancers and hype men' who u can pay in the currency of 'fun'

But most of all...
U've got a BANGIN BOD, bb!
Standing next to Steve Aoki
Showing it off

Sometimes I fall asleep dreaming of being ur DJ princess
U'll fall SO in love with me that u will take me to all ur gigs with u
We'll be an alt power couple
And we will dominate the scene
but every night, we'll fall asleep next 2 one another
Just happy that we r TOGETHER

We'll live hard, live fast
Eventually I will integrate myself into your brand and business decisions
Eventually leading to the downfall of ur career
U will have to pick between ME and UR CAREER

U will pick ur career
the morning after we breakup after a gig in Moscow
I will overdose on Russian-grade ketamine
U will burn my body and claim I disappeared into the Russian wilderness

While I am in heaven, looking down at u dealing with the disposal of my body
I'll understand that it is not a crime
It is a crime of passion
And the only person I ever felt something 4 was u

Sigh...
My mind moves so fast when I'm dreaming...

Diplo has it all...
but most importantly

U LOOK GOOD, BB!

****
Does Diplo have it all?
Is he the hunkiest DJ in the game?
Do u ever wish u could be his DJ princess?
Do u ever wish u could be in a relaish with some1 famesies?

Diplo is a famous DJ who gets mad BJs in any city that he plays, which means that he has an interesting life, and he is about to get tons of broads naked from different regions of the world. White girls, black girls, Asian girls, Third Worlders, White models, ethnic models, women who live in shantytowns, alts who still live in their parents' McMansions... U name it, Diplo has come in contact with it during his DJ career. Anyways, it seems like he has embraced his role as a cultural luminary, and decided to write some sort of anthropological book. It is titled 128 Beats Per Minute: Diplo's Visual Guide to Music, Culture, and Everything in Between . R u gonna go 2 Borders and buy it?

The cover depicts Diplo 'floating away' into the sea, probably an homage to the Modest Mouse song 'Float On.' The book's foreward is by fashion designer Alexander Wang, and he probably talks abt how Diplo is inspiring, driven, unique, a trend-setter, and doesn't give an EFF abt any1 bc he is a true artist. "Is there anything that Diplo and his team of ppl who find ways to make him money can't do?" DJs are megabrands that travel the world, speaking the only true international language of 'Let's Partie, Yall' and/or 'Drop the Bass, yall!'

Does this book have words?
Do u think Diplo 'wrote this' or did some1 else 'write it' just to make $$$?

U might know Diplo as some guy who is a DJ, but did u know that he has the most awesome life in the world? Unfortunately, Diplo is stuck using a Blackberry because they pay him 'mad bank' to make it seem like the Blackberry is a relevant phone that ppl should use, but I'm sure Middle Americans are like 'that white dude doesn't look very cool' and they just go back to using their Android phones until the iPhone costs $50 and they can get 1. At this point, more ppl would rather have an iPod touch without a data connection instead of using a Blackberry due to the lack of a developer community and a misguided 'lifestyle branding' strategy that broke away from their core business.

Did u know that Diplo is not just a DJ but a music innovator?

It seems like u can use Blackberries to sext with ur BFFs.

Just wanna hang in 'da studio' with a relevant producer/DJ and see how the magic happens.

Diplo is known as a famous DJ who makes beats and DJs and is making 'mad bank' bc ppl want him to produce songs for them and then they are all like 'hey fly and DJ our partie, yall!' Anyways, he is 'on top of the world', and it seems like he is attempting to celebrate his transition into an alt, electro, DJ, producer icon. He did a photoshoot for GQ where he is 'trying to bring back the turtleneck.' Do u think he will singlehandedly make the tutleneck relevant again?

The turtleneck went through some dark years there, back when its patron saint was Joey from Friends. But as DJ god Diplo shows, the turtleneck—trimmed down and ultraluxe—has its mojo back

Where r u going bb? All I know is that u look effing handsome, QT-pie!

Last night, something special happened. VIPfest, a collection of relevant VIPs putting together an online VIP experience for the most relevant alts on the internet. So many relevant indie celebs stopped by the turntable.fm room, and we made history, If u were there, u know why it was VIP. If u weren't there, u might never know what VIP means/feels like.

Who was there? Carles. Gorilla vs Bear. Ryan Schreiber. Diplo. Heems. DJ MNSTRMR. Ezra Broenig. Unchill AZN Bro. Bon Iver. Ariel Pink. Bradleyford Cox. Basically any1 who is any1 in the world of alt found a way 2 stop by and stay relevant.

Anyways, some techbloggermainstreamer bro used the turntable.fm product 4 the first time ever last night (prob bc it is going 2 get shut down soon 4 being 67% 'illegal') happened 2 stop by VIPfest and he documented his mainstream experience in such a high level alt event:

When I was in the room earlier I had failed to notice it was being helmed by Gorilla vs. Bear, of Gorilla vs. Bear fame. Next to him was Ryan Schreiber, founder of Pitchfork. In chat was “the REAL DIPLO,” who turned out to be the real Diplo. Through the magical celebrities-are-people-too power of Twitter, Diplo had followed Ryan into the room, and now GvB was attempting to get him on the decks.

This isn’t as easy as it sounds. See, the owner of a room can boot people from the decks to free up one of the five slots, but whoever clicks on that free spot first gets it. Either having the real Diplo in their midst had caused a wannabe DJ frenzy, or the real Diplo isn’t very fast on the draw. GvB probably kicked twenty different people from the room before Diplo managed to play anything.

I don’t really know anything about Diplo, except that he worked with M.I.A. and that there’s some sort of beef now. I certainly didn’t recognize the Major Lazer track he played — he kept on saying he couldn’t play the third verse, so I assumed it was unreleased. It was pretty fun, but I was more caught up with the idea that some nice celebrity man was playing music that he’d clearly uploaded from his computer onto a bizarre new service where you choose an avatar and pretend to be at a live concert while you’re actually talking in a circa 1990s chat room.

Nobody else seemed to be so enamored — Diplo was winning plenty of followers and some of my fellow Zynga-alikes were bobbing their virtual heads, but the haters were much more vocal: “Diplo? More like DipNO!” After GvB and Ryan played some tracks, Diplo hit us with another new one: “Untitled.” By this point the room had basically gone insane. Many of the people GvB had booted to get Diplo on the decks were griping about it, others were spamming the chat with requests to play, promising great selections from their musical catalogs. Others had given up on begging, and were instead spamming links to a new room they’d created. But everybody else seemed to be trashing Diplo, Major Lazer, and “Untitled.” After finishing his playthrough, Diplo left because of all the “h8.”

Cmon a-hole. Carles is 1 of the most relevant altcelebs in the world and he ORGANIZED and promoted #VIPfest, and u can't even drop his name in the intro paragraph? I guess Carles does need 2 go more mnstrm.

Was this the greatest group chatting experience since the days of AOL?

I haven’t seen a room this wild since my AOL Chat days. A ton of users had changed their names to celebrities. There was a Lady Gaga, a Bon Iver, and a Joanna Newsom, to name a few. None of these checked out on Twitter, sadly. A DJ named “Carles” (who turns out to be Carles of Hipster Runoff, completely unknown to me at the time) played “Mandolin Rain” (a hilarious juxtaposition to the chat that was ensuing) and Pitchfork Ryan tweeted about it. Bon Iver became enough of a meme that GvB played “Beth / Rest” off of Bon Iver. It was seriously chill, the best song I’d heard all night. The chat turned on Pitchfork’s 9.5 score of the album, almost as if Pitchfork Ryan wasn’t there. Some people just typed “9.5″ into their chat box and then hit enter. The virtual Ryan, nodding his avatar’s head to the beat, asked us all: “can u feel the 9.5… all around[?]” Carles “spun” a dark, terrifying spoken word track he’d recorded about VIPfest called “VIPfest is s0 VIP.” I was scared.

Do yall think that this mnstrm bro didn't 'get' that the 2 relevant altbloggers were 'making fun' of Bon Iver because of the widely accepted meme that he is basically a poor man's indie Bruce Hornsby?

Bruce Hornsby - Mandolin Rain by jpdc11

Do u <3 or h8 Bon Iver?

"Can u feel the 9.5 all around?"

In the end, the mainstream bro talked abt how he wished he was more alt and more VIP.

Diplo came back, ego somehow restored, and played a third track. It was really weird, and I was getting tired. Maybe I just don’t like Diplo (in case you do like Diplo, here are the three Major Lazer tracks he played). Maybe I was disappointed in myself for being sucked into this bizarre vortex of musical tastemakers and clamoring playlist jockeys who would rather play music than listen to it. Maybe I was pissed that I didn’t get recognized in “VIPfest” but the nerds over in “Indie While You Work On That PHP E-Commerce Backend” had known who I was.

Have u heard of Wesley Pentz? Me neither, but he goes by the DJ name "Diplo", which was probably a good branding strategy bc no1 would listen 2 his music if he was 'DJ Wes Pentz.' Anyways, he was interviewed by some magazine, and is still talking about M.I.A. issues from like 1-2 years ago (100 blog years ago). Basically just 'throws her under the bus' again. Even though she deserves it and he is only rlly stating the obvious, but maybe it gets 'a little bit too dark' bc they are exes so he could come across as 'bitter.'

I think he has said this b4/will say it to any1 who asks. Sorta makes me yearn 4 the days when M.I.A. could still meme with the best of them, before her career/voice took a Charlie Sheen-like nose dive.

There is no need to bring up M.I.A. to Wesley Pentz, aka Diplo, the DJ-producer-ex-boyfriend who was instrumental in her success. Pentz will do it on his own. At first it’s complimentary in a conversation about Coachella. “I saw M.I.A. play there two years ago and it was probably one of the most amazing shows I ever saw,” he says. But then: “Last year she played, too, and it was kind of lame.” Ask him if they’re friends and the answer is, “No, no, no. Not anymore. No one in my camp talks to her anymore. She’s kind of really gone crazy.”

It’s been three years since “Paper Planes,” the song from M.I.A.’s second album “Kala,” hit critical mass. You couldn’t escape it after it was used in the trailer for “Pineapple Express” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” and it’s arguably the biggest hit for both M.I.A. and Pentz, who wrote and produced the track. They had a contentious breakup, personally and professionally, and Pentz still has plenty to say about her. “She got famous off ‘Paper Planes,’ ” he says. “She had already thrown in the towel when that record came out. Before that, she was like, ‘I’m retiring. I’m going to marry this guy, f--k it.’ Then ‘Paper Planes’ blew up and she was like, ‘Oh sh-t. I gotta take advantage of this. I’m actually an artist now.” Her follow-up album, which Pentz had little to do with, was not the success everyone was expecting. Then there was Lynn Hirschberg’s scathing New York Times truffle French fry story, which depicted M.I.A., whose lyrics are filled with references to Sri Lankan terrorists, as a political poseur living in a Brentwood, Calif., mansion. Pentz’s quotes validated Hirschberg’s thesis. He is still not above saying I told you so.

Do u think he is just trying to 'brand himself' as not having anything 2 do with M.I.A. any more?
Or is this just the most compelling angle to write abt Diplo, so you don't have to write the whole 'he is a world traveling DJ who has unique partnerships with brands like Blackberry'?

Pictured: Diplo sits on the ground, looking keut

Anyways, he basically says she is one of those people who always talks about politics/important issues, but is uninformed + stupid. He also says she supports terrorism.

“Maya left herself open for attacks,” he says. “She’s not an easy artist to criticize because she’s very left-leaning, she’s progressive, she’s a woman. She’s good in a lot of aspects, but when it comes to die-hard, facts-on-the-ground politics, she’s at zero. She’s nothing. I told her at the beginning of the third record, like, do not bring politics into this. Obama’s the president, for one. You just can’t glamorize terrorism, it’s not cool.…You can’t hide behind that sh-t. But she totally did. She didn’t have a plan B. I told her from the beginning, it’s not going to work. And Lynn Hirschberg just ate it up. If she didn’t, the critics would have ate her up anyway because the record wasn’t good.”

Do u think M.I.A. is sad that Osama Bin Laden is dead?
Do u think she has a 'conspiracy theory' about [everything]?
Is she 'full of air/shit'?
Should this article have 'come out' in 2k10/2k9/2k8?
Is M.I.A. 'being stupid' an 'old scoop', or are we just going to hear stories about how insane she is for the next 10 years?

Really hope she 'goes off the deep end' on her next album, like we find out about her crazy child raising philosophy + practices, her diet, and ________ [something else 'bat shit insane'].

I am not sure who Alexander Wang is, because I don't really follow fashion. Sometimes I'll watch Project Runway, so maybe that makes me cultured + in touch with modern trends in the fashion industry. Anyways, popular mainstream / alt DJ Diplo was hired by some fashion designer 2 'be a model.' I don't know if he is supposed to look like an 'indie hunk' or what. Seems to just be chillin in a white tshirt or something. Making his usual sillie Diplo faces. I don't know 'what makes a good DJ', but if I had to guess, it would be 'maintaining a crazie twitter account that makes lamestreamers LOL.'

The DJ, producer, and MIA ex-boyfriend added spokesmodel to his resume with a series of Blackberry ads last year, but now he's moving even further in the professionally-handsome direction by starring in a new campaign for T by Alexander Wang alongside up-and-comer Ashley Smith.

Do yall know who Alexander's Wang is?
Would u 'totally bang' Diplo? Will this fashion line 'tank' because of Diplo's modeling?

Will this help Diplo's career?

Do yall know if 'Diplo' is Diplo's real name, like his parents named him 'Diplo' or what?

The Blackberry is a popular phone for business men who aren't allowed to have iPhones because they aren't kewl enough/haven't ascended into management, so they are't really important enough to deserve iPhones. However, Blackberry recently realized that a lot of young adults are 'over-loyal' to Blackberry because of the trivial function of 'BBM', which I think stands for Blackberry Messaginger. Even though it is a simple chat service, people think that BBM is 'special' and helps them to build a network of other Blackberry users. Unfortunately, Blackberry will probably 'go under' now that poor people are starting to become loyal to Android phones.

Anyways, Diplo is a modern DJ who makes 'mad bank' producing, playing gigs, and 'endorsing products'/building a lifestyle brand. It seems like this 'commercial' is supposed to let u know that his life is 'effing awesome.' He seems to be flying around the world 'killing it', 'killing it' in DJ gigs, 'killing it' with bros', and 'killing it' while talking with his bffs on bberry. Seems like his life is awesome, and all he ever does is 'kill it.'

Wish my life 'killed it'. Sometimes I worry that I am just going to be an 'effing consumer' for the rest of my life. I'll keep buying expensive smart phones even though all I really do is use social networks and talk with my friends who are unemployed.

Do yall buy into Blackberry as a 'lifestyle brand'?
Can Blackberry rebrand and 'take over' the iPhone market?

Is Diplo a relevant DJ, or his his brand 'overvalued'?

It seems like Diplo is 'mad pissed' at M.I.A. Not sure if they had a bad breakup, or if he is trying to get her to divorce her husband, get a 'mad billionaire dollar settlement', then maybe he can get back with her. It seems like he is on an 'all-out mission' to distance himself from the /\/\/\Y/\ brand, since it has a chance to be one of the worst albums of 2k10, surpassing even MGMT's Congratulations.

In an interview with Blackbook Blogazine Newspaper, Diplo kept up the 'sweet ass smear campaign'.

He makes it clear that she is 'lazy', 'careless' and didn't write anything:

And I think that the record was like—she didn’t care about it. I was in the studio with her, she didn’t write anything.

He also says that after she got mad rich [via marriage], she didn't have to care about anything, but then since "Paper Planes" went mainstream, she wanted to be mainstreamier:

She like, retired because she married a dude and she didn’t care about music. She only did it again because “Paper Planes” did blow up in the end. It gave her a second wind, but she didn’t have any hunger anymore. She already got a full table.

Wish I had a metaphorical 'full table.'

He also says that she is advised by an innercircle of 'spineless ass pussies':

Me and Switch tried our best to be quality control of the record and she didn’t want that. She kind of went on her own way. I was like, Look, nobody in your crew—we were the only people she could trust, and our asses were on the line too. We got here because of working with people like her. We care about the way things sound, and when the people that she works with don’t, then it’s fucked up. She’s got a talent in every aspect. She’s got ideas bigger than any artist I’ve ever met and she’s someone to fuckin’ make that happen. All she has is a bunch of yes men around her and they kinda suck.

Sorta seems chill for Diplo to 'bash hard' on M.I.A. Wish more artists would do the same, even if they weren't affiliated with M.I.A. / had never been in a serious relationship. Wonder how their personal/sexual relationship ended. Wonder who broke whose heart.

Does money change people?
Is M.I.A. a 'disgrace' of an artist/human being?
Is Diplo a 'chill bro' or a 'backstabber'?
Are yall on #TeamDipbro or #TeamMaya?
Is Diplo 'speaking the truth' or is he trying to ride the 'anti-MIA meme wave'?

Diplo is a popular DJ who used to 'bang' M.I.A. before she 'went gold digga' and married some billionaire's son. Diplo apparently produced one of two tracks on M.I.A.'s new album "/\/\/\\|/\|/\Y/\/\/\\/\", but he went on twitter and was talking with random bros, then went ahead and said that her album was basically a 'huge piece of shit.'

He seems chill to be 'honest' in a world where all indie artists and DJs are 'just trying to be butt buddies.'

Honestly haven't listened to the new album, but feel like it is more than likely 'a huge piece of shit.'

I wonder what kind of turd Diplo thinks the album really is
a) a drop of turd, like a pellet
b) a long log of turd
c) a small nub of turd
d) a pile of turd(s)
e) a little soft serve swirl of turd
f) runny diarrhea turds sitting in liquid shit
g) Choose ur own turd style

Most importantly, the popular reviews site Pitchfork 'ran this as a story', making it clear that they have no interest in pretending that this is a good album. This has to be 'paving the way' for an underwhelming review. Many hoped that Pitchfork would 'pan' MGMT's Congratulations, but some have hope that they will turn MIA's album in2 the scapegoat of 2k10, giving it a sub-5.0 score. Some claim that Pitchfork 'must' pan MIA's album in order to distance themselves from her brand after they let her use their twitter account [link].

(Note: It is in every website's best interest to 'pan' the album, since negative M.I.A. press can account for massive traffic boosts.)

Is M.I.A.'s album 'a piece of shit'?
Is M.I.A. a human turd?
When M.I.A. talks, do turds fall out of her mouth?
Is Diplo a 'chill ass bro' or a 'bitter Ex BF'?
Did Diplo 'hit it and quit it' when M.I.A.'s stock was high?
Will Diplo write a 'tell all' book about M.I.A.?
Are yall on #TeamDiplo or #Team_M_I_A_?
Is Diplo part of a 'marketing plan' for M.I.A., or does he genuinely think that the album 'mad sux'?
What will Pitchfork give M.I.A.'s album?
Can M.I.A. have an 'awesome public meltdown' as her album is crucified/lynched?

Just saw this picture of Vampire Weekend and Diplo at Coachella. Seems like they really 'became bros.' Probably talked about their influences, Afro-beat stuff, and other great artists to sample. Maybe compared notes on 'how to get a coachella crowd fired up.' Feel like this picture gives me the right to 'erroneously report' that there will be a Major Lazer Remix of "Horchata" by Vampire Weekend.

Wonder if alternative celebrities are 'authentic bros' or if they are just gonna use one another for remixes.
Wonder if Diplo really cares about 'the indie movement' or if he is just trying to tweet out memes for music blogs 2 jump on.

This picture of Die Antwoord, the South African viral meme rap sensation recently emerged on Diplo's twitter feed. This picture serves as some sort of marketing / personal branding meme.

Major Lazer is a dance sound project by Diplo and Switch. Their music videos + product have 'come under fire' for being 'racist' since the exploit a culture that is not their own/has black skin.  Some African Americans think that they are 'racist ass holes.'

The video above is a semi-boring meme that diagrams the racist images deployed by their sound project:

This Documentary is composed of pics of Racist Imagery Created by the Group Known as Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch) taken on my iphone. Focusing on the 3 Major Lazer videos that are currently circulating around the Globe...We have come to the conclusion that the Group is Promoting Negative Stereotypes of the African Diaspora ie by Making Caribbean People seem as though they are Foolish Hyper-Sexual animalistic Sambo's. We Have created this short Documentary to put an End to the Exploitation of Womyn and People of Color.

Worried abt ppl who 'go 2 college' and learn 2 much about cultural imagery.

Original Video:

Is Diplo a racist?
Are Tim & Eric racists?
Is Major Lazer a racist?
Should they have been 50% more racist by involving fried chicken, Kool Aid, AIDS, and gang violence if they wanted to really 'stir up' a racial controversy?

Should Major Lazer perform in black face?
Are all white entertainers 'racist' since they are all trying 2 be Michael Jackson?
Is Major Lazer the most successful DJ duo since Justice?
