Review: Major Lazer "Guns Don't Kill People" | ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ X

Are the streets of binary code cleaned up after the huge 'D.O.A'-mess? No boring 'D.O.A' remixes laying around just being a huge waste of space and name? Let's fucking hope so cuz it's the 16th of June people, it's time for the Internet to go bat-shit crazy again since Major Lazer's eagerly awaited album "Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do" is finally out on Downtown Music!

I must say, people have always hyped Dilpo up, both as a musician and as eye-candy, and okay, some of Diplo's work is super good and super talented but some is not. This made up story about Major Lazer along with Switch however, is a struck of genius. It's the perfect get away from b-more, house and contributing to the work of other artists for them both.

"Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do" is a 'Baby' on auto-tune (definitely not the love child from Beyoncé and Jay-Z) along with African Prince Zimboo, Ms. Thing kicking of a party with a heavy bassline madness, (oh dear how I've missed u Ms. Thing, remember the days of 'Jump Up and Rail'?), a mandatory track of puffing 'Mary Jane' but made in a funny, much humorous way with Mapei and Mr. Evil, Vybz Kartel gets crazy 'Pon De Floor', Einstein and Amanda Blank getting it on real good in 'What U Like', Nina Sky and Ricky Blaze keeps it going and Mr. Lexx and Santigold makes u vibrate like a Nokia.... Might sound like a great big hot mess but it's actually not.

'Jump Up' featuring Leftside and Supahype, co-produced by the Crookers is probably the best track of the whole album along with 'Bruk Out' with T.O.K and Ms. Thing (simply can't hate on lines like "I met Jill she was a strippa / I told her my name was Jack the Rippa") and Nina Sky & Ricky Blaze's 'Keep It Going Louder'.

The album has just one boring track and it's 'Can't Stop Now' with Mr. Vegas & Jovi Rockwell, no matter how much I like Jovi it feels like a track some mediocre copywriter pulls for an ad-campaign for Coke in the summer. U know, the über stereotypical reggae vibe.

Sooo, if u don't dance to this ur probably a zombie and ur seconds away to get killed off by Major Lazer's grand lazer.
