Diplo, CL, RiFF RAFF, and OG Maco Premiere Insane Posse Cut, "Doctor Pepper"

CL, Diplo, RiFF RAFF, and OG Maco unite on “Doctor Pepper,” a new collaborative single that’s also a taste of what’s to come from CL, the K-Pop star who’s unleashing the freak as she prepares to launch an English language album. CL sounds immaculate here, and the song seems to mean almost nothing at all. “Diplo canceled a session on me, and I was so mad at him. I was drinking a can of Dr. Pepper and wrote the song so I could go home as soon as possible,” CL told The FADER, explaining the song’s glorious nonsense refrain. “Diplo ended up loving it!”

As a world of its own, “Doctor Pepper” is hard to imagine without Diplo. In April, the producer told Rick Rubin he was “trying to actually retire” solo Diplo material so he could devote more time to collaborative projects, like Major Lazer and Jack Ü. I think he’s right to feel proud of something like “Doctor Pepper,” an otherwise unimaginable grouping of savants. Whether with Hollertronix, Major Lazer, or at the helm of Mad Decent (block party, radio, label), he’s always been best as part of a team.

Diplo has been brushing up against K-Pop for years. “CL and I go back a long way, from the first time YG contacted me about six years ago,” he told The FADER. “I ended up being in the video for Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now' and I met GD and Top [of BIGBANG]. I worked with them before I knew what K-pop was, to be honest.”

After making songs with YG artists PSY and G-Dragon, Diplo got CL to do vocals for “Dirty Vibe,” a cut from Skrillex’s 2014 album. “I’ve been active in CL’s first full-length album,” he said, “mostly trying to find a right balance between glossy K-pop attitude and keeping CL positioned where she belongs—as the baddest coolest female out right now. ‘Doctor Pepper’ is something that might not register that well with actual K-pop, seeing as it’s a straight Atlanta-style rap record, but the net around K-pop is so wide that it can be anything with confidence and style. That's what CL brings to it.” Here, he let's her thrive.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i didn't expect much from the cover art or the little snippet we got to hear a few months ago, but eh this doesn't fit my style - i hope that whenever her us album comes out, i'll have a song or two that fit my taste ;u;

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

lmao this crap

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

This is just so lazy smh

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

i had to stop at 2:29 couldn't make it further... this is so bad but bad meaning bad, not meaning good 'kay

[elementree.livejournal.com]

the song is bad, so i'm only here for your icon <3

[sakura-holic.livejournal.com]

I bet they didn't even take this seriously themselves while making it....

[oxfordowls1.livejournal.com]

her part is the only bit thats alright but like she said i will still bounce to it. I like that she said she wrote this because diplo cancelled a session on her and she was so mad that she wrote a song about the dr pepper she had

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Lol seriously? Where did she say that?

[springsky.livejournal.com]

This is bad meaning bad. I even tried to listen to it twice. The beat is a good foundation but the rest is super lazy and repetitive and I'm not here for those bozos at the end. I'll pretend like this Diplo track never happened and wait for your solo, bb.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

oh man they put no effort into this

period.

lord, this episode. ilugarnet.

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

like money was a super cute song and it didn't need akon... i wish they had made it, they had a better vibe. Same with Boa. They sort of tried to fit into what we were doing at the same but also had something of their own to show off... YG is just tryna get CL to get her Iggy on and black twitter will chew her ass up. Esp with her working with these goofy-ass people... why did I write you this essay?

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

I want my money back.

Sure that I didn't pay anything to listen this, but I feel like I should be recompensed for it.

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

They owe us money for making us listen to it! XD

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

... i don't hate it. it reminds me a bit of the neighbourhood's mixtape. probably not something i would obsessively listen to though

[oxfordowls1.livejournal.com]

The neighbourhood's mixtape was alright i actually liked a lot of the songs tbh

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

yikes

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

Honestly, it's exactly what I expected from this collab, which does not make it any less terrible.

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

Love her but don't care for this song...her and Maco are ok but song overall sounded like an afterthought beat wise....no words for RR's messy ass....waiting for her album cause I'm over these collabs and ft. to be honest

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

Yup I need the Solo debut NOW please!!!

[annayism.livejournal.com]

i hoped this would be good but it's so lazy

[sunshine2163.livejournal.com]

lol......hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I love the switch up of voices she uses....am I listening to Rihanna? When she start referencing drugs? SO thats cool now? Do you even know what your talking about CL? WHO WROTE THIS RAP for you and told you ir was a good idea?!.....This is bad, and Diplo should feel bad.....Dr. Pepper........lol




Also, when did her raps become so hard? Why is she over pronouncing everything? I don't remember her rapping like this before...DR. Pepper.....

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

She wants to be Rih so badly

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i didn't even listen
i am worried

[kewtah.livejournal.com]

I hate admitting that I originally had high hopes, because this song is absolutely garbage.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

lol

[itskimbitches.livejournal.com]

Wow cl, iggy would have never. if you for nothing to say just spell your name! Who dat who dat I G G Y!!! That's all you had to do. Iggy didn't morph into a potato for this.

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

It's a little repetitive and I wish CL's verse was longer but this isn't horrible.

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

its not even that bad...I was expecting some iggy shit. the chorus is really the only embarrassing part

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

I can't really be the only one who thinks it aint that bad tbh. hell im dancing in my seat.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

nope
