feel free to stop the presses while we die

So we just posted the new Mark Ronson featuing Amy Winehouse video (though the video doesn't feature Amy Winehouse... it's complicated). Anyway, in the first few seconds of the video, Washington DC rapper Wale shows up to "spit" some "rhymes". Which is all fair and well, until you watch the "Making Of" video posted on Columbia Records' YouTube page...



...and Wale kicks shit into the next level with the greatest rapper introduction of all time.



"Hey, I'm Wale, I'm on Mark Ronson's video and... I have powder on my nose. No Lohan."

We personally never thought No Homo could be topped, but Jesus were we ever wrong.

Thank you, Wale. Thank you.

Where in the worlds is Amy Winehouse

This is the new video for "Valerie", by Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse.



As you can see, Amy Winehouse is not in the video. Which is a shame, because we here at DN were really looking forward to seeing a Mark/Amy video collaboration. So we suppose one of two things happened:

1. Much like the "Oh My God" video, Mark Ronson prefers to not flaunt his collaborations in his music videos, instead fiding creative ways to keep the attention of the song and production and not celebrity or

2. They couldn't find Amy for all the crack smoke.

We really hope it's 1.

Mark Ronson and Lily Allen get animated on our asses

We're really into Mark Ronson's cover album Version right now, roughly 78 years after the rest of the world but hey, we work at our own pace. The cover of the Jam's "Pretty Green" featuring Santo Green is quite remarkable, but the record label has decided to go with "Oh My God" as the new single so that'll just have to wait.

The video is a "nod" to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a film that parents thought was funny but literally scared the shit out of every child on Earth when it was released in the late '80s. If we close our eyes we can still hear that crazy dude going "He sounded just... LIKE... THIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!" and dropping that poor cartoon shoe in the Dip--why did our mothers let us watch that shit? We think you can actually see Mark nod in the video, which we find funny.

Enjoy.
