Hip-Hop Nancy Sinatra: Lana del Rey - "National Anthem" (Das Racist H&M Remix)

For some odd reason, I just feel that a Das Racist-fried Lana del Rey remix really isn't going to need much "hard selling" 'round these parts of town [The Internet]. Das Racist are without a doubt one of my favourite Hip-Hop bands; I'm still not too sure exactly how I feel about Lizzy Grant I mean, May Jailer er, uh... Lana del Rey. Regardless, "National Anthem" (Das Racist Remix) should manage to pique the interest(s) of all sorts of music fans far and wide! Heems & Kool A.D. work their lyrical "magic" over a stripped down, nearly vocal-less re-worked beat. Frantically bragging about everything from money/rupees to Bruce Willis and somehow working in mentions of Lil B, Tyler The Creator, Bad Brains, Boy Crisis, Diplo, Oscar The Grouch, deadmau5, and Amy Winehouse.

Lately, it seems like Lana del Rey, who also recently linked up on-screen with A$AP Rocky for "National Anthem"'s music video, really has an affinity for Hip-Hop these days... and it's gotta be the first officially sanctioned Das Racist track in a long time - I guess since "Michael Jackson" (August 2011). Miss del Rey will most likely get some much-needed extra publicity for her recently released debut album, Born 2 Die. Team LDR also announced on Tuesday afternoon that Lana has signed her first major modeling deal with H&M for their Fall/Winter 2012 line. Fashion ads and commercials should start to materialize sometime around September. I'd honestly expect to hear a new album from Das Racist in late 2012-13, cause those dudes seem to be recording new tracks non-stop!?
