CHESTER FRENCH'S BLACK GIRLS



So a few days ago, Chester French came out with his new single "Black Girls" which of course raised a few eyebrows. I don't think it's the fact that the actual song is referencing his taste in black girls, but once I saw the video, I can see why it's a bit on the controversial side. See for yourself!

Just in case you were too distracted to listen to the words, here are the lyrics:

Black Girls

This ain't no fetish, ain't objectifying no one
I reject your deconstruction of my taste
But ignoramus always look in my direction
They're so frustrated I don't keep it in the race
Like they've never seen this before
Like it's 1954
But the whole world's turning brown and who cares

[Hook]
I've got a thing for black girls
La, la la la la, la la, la la la la la
Yeah, my mom says
I've got a thing for black girls
La, la la la la, la la, la la la la la
You know I got some love for black girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well I have tried to taste the rainbow in my life
I've sampled many different flavors I enjoy
It's not to say I wouldn't settle down with Sally
Dilly dally with her heart like it's my toy
I've been to England a few times
And it's common over there
Plus the whole world's turning brown and who cares

[Hook x2]
(I'm ? so what)
(And I need to know, where's all the love for black girls)
(No the girl don't need no tan)
(I keep on ballin' hard for black girls)



I mean from Chester French's previous songs, I could tell he had some type of flavor. I give him props for admitting his love to black girls, especially for being a white boy. All I can ask now is, what about some love for the mixed chicks? Especially a Mexican-Filipina aka MEXIPINAS?!

CHESTER FRENCH - HARVARD GRADS WITH SOME SWAG


CHESTER FRENCH is an indie pop band consisting of two band members: David-Andrew "D.A" Wallach [lead vocalist & songwriter] and Maxwell Drummey [multi-instrumentalist & songwriter]. Meeting at Harvard University, they decided on their group name after the sculptor Daniel Chester French. In explaining how the band started, D.A. explains, "Chester French started when we were freshmen in college. Max wanted to start a group called Marilyn Manson, which is what he told me in the dining room. And I thought that was a great idea. So we realized there was a conflict, potentially, with the name, but the underlying concept was great and so that's what we've been trying to achieve ever since."


Early supporters of the group include Kanye West and Perez Hilton. Their demo even made it into the hands of Pharrell Williams and Jermaine Dupri. This resulted in a bidding war between Kanye and Pharrell, in which Pharrell ultimately won. He says, "There's something at Star Trak records that we have been very excited about and there's, I don't know. Of course D.A. would want me to sit here and tell you how much of a crazy bidding war there was for them, as everybody in here knows D.A. But you know what? He's right. And if you think about it, think about where they come from and... okay! It's funny. But you know what? Think about it man. Like, Harvard grads? And then on top of that, there really was a bidding war and it really was incredible and we really lost our minds and you're really about to see a great, incredible show."


Since then their career has taken an unprecedented full throttle ride, touring with N.E.R.D., Matisyahu, and Lady Gaga. Chester French contains elements of pop, rock, and ultimately hip-hop. In regards to why hip-hop artists like their music, D.A. jokes, "They find it interesting that we're the first artists to wear whiteface all the time, publicly." Chester French will definitely be one of those names to hear in music's future career because not only are they talented, but many of their songs are undeniably catchy.
