Video: Chester French on OkayplayerTV
Posted by Shamz on Nov 12, 2008
OkayplayerTV crew Tunji and Greg The Dude caught up with Star Trak/Interscope artists Chester French after their show at LA's Spaceland. The duo speak on how the band came together while they were studying at Harvard University, their live show, and their collaboration with Common and Pharrell on Universal Mind Control. Get to know The D.A. and Max a little better in their OKPTV segment, then check out two exclusive remixes to their song "She Loves Everybody" done by The Neptunes and Steve Aoki (respectively), as well the "Jimmy Choos" remix by El-P. After the jump is a very, umm, interesting widget filled with more songs and info on the group. Chester French's She Loves Everybody EP is in stores now.

You are entitled to your opinion homey, but you don't have to be so harsh yo. If Chester French doesn't do it for you, then don't listen to their music. I wish people would stop being so damn closed minded, especially us NINJAS (black people)...

I saw these guys in Pittsburgh when they opened for N.E.R.D. They didn't do much for myself or the crowd. Not really a fan, but if people like em' cool.

Sounds like the Ben Folds. It's weird. It's similar to how Uffie secretly sucks, but is infectious.

That's my point exactly: The website and this page are plastered with Chester French banners, links and advertisements and Look! ...now there's a highly visible puff piece dominating okayplayer's homepage for an entire week. It's called blatantly selling out and, to somebody who's visited this page daily since the turn of the millenium, it's embarrassing to watch. For real, how pathetically ironic is it that okayplayer.com (a site originally intended to build and reinforce grassroots support of artists that were being largely ignored and/or taken advantage of by the mainstream industry/media) is now exploiting it's own credibility to advertise this stylized, substance-less crap made by two Harvard grads signed to Universal (a GE subsidiary, no less!) and recently featured on the Entourage soundtrack. Take a peek at the black column to the right of this post - I come here to support artists with creativity, soul, and integrity. I don't come here to be spoon-fed and brainwashed into buying the latest 4th quarter widget that Universal is peddling. This is sad.

i did accidentally have those remixes switched but i fixed it last night, thanks. oh, and okayplayer does not charge for editorial, just promotions (banners, etc). lastly, questo was in the office all day yesterday when we were working on this. he went on record saying he was he happy we were giving Chester French some shine because he "loves those guys," so add that to the list of co-signs.

I don't know what this crap is doing on okayplayer. this is so some of the worst, creatively empty, lazy and soulless "music" I've ever heard. How much are they paying you guys?
