Final week, Timothée Chalamet just lately refused to say whether or not he is the key id of masked UK rapper EsDeeKid. When questioned immediately in three separate UK radio interviews, Chalamet merely repeated, “All might be revealed in due time.” All has now been revealed. Opposite to unserious web rumor, Chalamet and EsDeeKid usually are not the identical particular person. They do have a tune collectively, although.
This afternoon, Timothée Chalamet posted his EsDeeKid collaboration on-line. Within the video, two shadowy masked figures meet a road and in a kitchen. They do type of look alike, a minimum of so far as we will see. One in every of them is Timothée Chalamet, and he peels off the masks to disclose the face. The opposite is EsDeeKid, who stays masked. Chalamet then proceeds to rap a verse over EsDeeKid’s “4 Raws” beat.
On his “4 Raws” remix verse, Timmy Tim says he is making an attempt to stack 100 million, chants the identify Marty Supreme thrice, and claims that he is Ryan Reynolds in Wrexham, that he is havin’ enjoyable simply sextin’, and that his dick is younger and stressed. He references the late OG Maco‘s viral 2014 hit “U Guessed It.” He says, “Chillin’ in a coupe in a 4 door/ Reside on Arrakis, in Mordor.” As a rapper, it is a good factor this child can act. As a movie-promotion publicity stunt, that is elite-level shit. That is stunning. Bear witness beneath.
Chalamet is already deep into his allure offensive to advertise Marty Supreme, the Josh Safdie-directed Oscar contender that lastly comes out subsequent week. Elsewhere in his promo push, Chalamet is out right here making an attempt to inform his co-star Gwyneth Paltrow about Weyes Blood.
Chalamet and Paltrow talked to one another for a Vogue video at present, and the dialog turned to music. A part of that dialog, during which Chalamet tries to place Paltrow onto Weyes Blood, is now making the rounds. Chalamet says the identify like “Waze,” however you are presupposed to say it like “Smart.” He additionally says that Weyes Blood recorded some background vocals for Marty Supreme. I am undecided what meaning. Perhaps she’s on the Daniel Lopatin rating? Paltrow has by no means heard of Weyes Blood, and he or she appears vaguely irritated that Chalamet is presenting her with this info.
There is a fairly good quantity of music speak within the full video. Paltrow says that the primary album she purchased together with her personal cash is the Go-Go’s’ Magnificence And The Beat, although she will be able to’t recall the title. She additional says that the primary report she owned would possibly’ve been Michael Jackson. When Chalamet asks her if the MJ report was Dangerous, she does unbelievable mom-scoff work.
Chalamet says that his automobile singalong tune is D’Angelo’s “Woman” — a daring alternative, particularly if anybody else is using in that automobile. Paltrow names Bonnie Raitt as her go-to. Chalamet has by no means heard of Raitt, and Paltrow makes use of the phrase “Americana” to explain her music. That is what leads Chalamet to Weyes Blood. He says that she’s type of Americana. Perhaps? I assume? However Bonnie Raitt and Weyes Blood do not actually belong to the identical style, I do not assume. This is the complete video.
In a current interview, Chalamet additionally had some good issues to say about Susan Boyle and her well-known 2009 Britain’s Bought Expertise audition: “She dreamt greater than all of us… Who wasn’t moved by that? I keep in mind that prefer it was yesterday. That was, like, the appearance of YouTube, you recognize.” A few days in the past, Boyle responded on Instagram, writing that Chalamet’s phrases have been “so extremely touching to learn.”
What, you thought that was all? That is not all. This is Chalamet doing a Kirk Franklin singalong with Druski.
This is Chalamet discussing his Grammy nomination with Jimmy Fallon.
I used to be already scripting this submit when the EsDeeKid video dropped. In order that’s all for now, except Chalamet does another rattling music-related factor within the subsequent quarter-hour, which appears completely believable.
