As we’ve learned recently, the Black Eyed Pea guy with questionable period usage has got a full palette of marketable attributes, what with his enviable gift for rhymery and deep understanding of Mendelian genetics, but let’s not forget, he’s not all talk. Dude also makes music. And post-Kanye Daft Punk remixes. See, skills — he’s got ‘em. All of ‘em, except that thing called business savvy.
According to Daily Swarm, will.i.am got so carried away with the idea of working some Daft Punk into his act — ’cause they’re hott this year! — that he forgot to check if it was cool with the robots. So he went ahead and remixed “I Got It From My Mama” (the previously alluded to track about female hot-gene inheritance) with Daft staple “Around The World.” And then he shot a video. And then he asked permission. And then permission was denied. Go ‘bots. Silly will, you really just should’ve asked PB&J. Or Feist.
This is a remix…

this is what kanye would make if you gave him a musical high colonic. all wiry and shiny and totally made of ancient poop.
yeah, no kidding. pj&j will do anything!
I think William was home-free until those questionable French lines.
i thought it would be impossible to make a sample of around the world sound bad but, but i guess i’ve been proved wrong.
ahahahaha. this track sucked so bad fergie wouldn’t even hit it. i hope he directed this video, too, because then we could add that to his list of skills! i could go on about why this track fails so miserably, but i’m busy ramming my head into a wall.
He isn’t really saying anything remotely offensive in those French lines from what I can hear. Who knew Will.i.am was so formal
Still, if you’re going to say some lines in French to hide tame sex references, you probably shouldn’t try to obtain samples from French DJs
Oh and the song is not good.
this is the worst shit i’ve heard in a long time.
Must be nice to blow a wad of cash on recording a song (uh, a remix, a remix, a remix), filming a video, having it rejected by the group you remixed and not be concerned.
I suppose Will.I.Am’s spin on this is that “I’m strengthening our economy, one infringement at a time”.
DwD
not that i expected otherwise but.. this is really really bad
he should have waited for girl talk to do it then it would have been ok and also 30 seconds long
It’s not as bad as everyone seems to think, watch it climb into MTV’s top 10. This song will have massive mainstream appeal (as soon as he pays Daft Punk enough to use the sample).
this is terrible
this is terrible
this is terrible
Wait…
Was that a remix?!?
heart on fire i reach out to you tonight…..
with heart on fire i reach out to you tonight!

Wasn’t this video the opening to USA’s Night Flight in, like, 1985?
worse than when that raccoon got stuck in the copier
wack as hell
No matter they denied permission… it sucks so much!
100% the worst piece of garbage evarrrr. this is what happens when you give trailer trash white girls too much dope & toss them into a recording studio with a no talent kanye wannabe who needs to crawl back into his subsidized housing to die a silent death.
Not that I need to elaborate on it further, but Jesus… This is the Mt. Trashmore of pop songs.
The “Around The World” beat is possibly the world’s easiest to hit beat softball (shit, the fucker is practically on a tee) – and to strike out so badly should deny you the privileges to ever create a solo song again.
Miss Kittin is dead.
Kill him, he’s a b@$t@rd for doing this to the Punks! Jeez, the nerve of some people. Kanye proved that using the bots music won’t make him any better, because the bots are already the best. I don’t care if Kanye has permission – be original people!
Hmm. Not that it’s my fave, re-mix, is it? of all time. But, why not give permish? What is Daft Punk without mashup, re-mix, sample?
