The End of Music

From, er... Rush and Milloy at the New York Daily News:

Hip-hop Hilton

We hear that Paris Hilton's much-awaited debut album will include hip-hop tracks - potentially featuring rapping by the heiress herself.1

Rapper/producer Lil Jon, who struck gold with Usher's "Yeah,"2 has signed on to produce tracks for the project, which Paris has said is tentatively called "Screwed."3 (The album reportedly includes two songs by JC Chasez.)

According to a source, their collaboration was born one night while the two were seated with Hugh Hefner at a Los Angeles club. Paris leaned in and began to freestyle-rap in Lil Jon's ear, and the rapper was sold.4

"We just gotta get in the studio, and I'm gonna basically deal with a club vibe," he said. "And make it super sexy, because she's such a supermodel."5

If readers don't recognize Lil Jon's gritty voice from "Yeah," they may remember him from his spots on "Chappelle's Show," where he spoofs himself.

Paris' reps said she is in negotiations with a major label and has laid down a couple of tracks. To work with Lil Jon, she'll have to go to his studio in Miami.

"She just wants to be herself, but on the record, be sexy, and make people dance," he explained. When we asked about the possibility of Paris busting some rhymes, he said: "We're mainly concentrating on the singing. But who knows? We might come up with some whole new other s-, too."6

We hope you do, Lil, we hope you do.


1 "Much awaited"? I'm sorry, by whom? Gay men and kitsch lovers of the year 2015? The "Wicked Cheap" section at Newbury Comics? The oversized industrial furnace in Paramus, NJ,that will melt down all the unsold copies?
2 First Usher, now Paris Hilton? If there was a game show called "Shitty Music," Lil Jon would be your center square.
3 Ah, subtlety. I pray thy death was painless.
4 Sure, right. "Freestyle-rap in his ear." Soon he's going to help her "lay down tracks" in her "private studio," and later will collect his "gold record" down at the "local free clinic." But there'll be no confusion when it comes time to schedule a "video shoot."
5 As long as we're just throwing words like supermodel around, I'm an astronaut! I'm a ring-tailed lemur! I'm a duvet cover!
6 Just like how Louis Pasteur discovered the Pasteurization process. I believe that was his exact quote, too. No, seriously. I'm really looking forward to this now.
