How does Danny Elfman score a hip-hop album? Where does Tim Burton play a part? Is this a short film or something?

I feel like this just confused people more. Weird rollout

I assume he's adding strings to songs and skits, possibly providing samples, synths, programming etc. He was in a band before being known for Burton scores and the Simpsons.


I have no idea how ASAP determined this is the way to get his shyt out though lmao. But I'm certainly curious to see how this plays out, even if it's a trainwreck (which seems likely). A lot of 80s new wave and electronic bands loved hip hop since they were using the same drum machines, so Elfman probably fukks with the return of 808s.

He has 35 million monthly listeners, almost 9 million daily Spotify streams and headlines major festivals.
The perception of him on this site is wildly out of step with reality.

Might as well go left if you have the bread lol

Musically he's cold as ice out here

Debuting that Danny Elfman is working on it in a Hollywood panel interview says a lot about this....
