The Internet Has Gone Too Far: A Kendrick Lamar x Backstreet Boys Mash-Up Surfaces

File this under "Things You Can't Unhear." Today in a weird and slightly sacrilegious installment of Ways of The Web, two seemingly opposing forces have joined as one, as a new mash-up brings Kendrick Lamar's "Element" verses to a new home: Backstreet Boys' "Everybody."

Ok, ok, ok. I know what you're thinking. And yes, it's a moment to contemplate just who should and shouldn't have access to audio editing software. But on the other, less prohibitive, hand: doesn't this just prove that Kung Fu Kenny's roundhouse rhymes kick the shit out of just about any accompaniment?

No? Yeah, you're probably right. In any case, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. is stillsitting pretty atop Billboard's 200 charts, just over Drake's More Life and Ed Sheeran's Divide. It's available to purchase via iTunes today. Pre-oder your copy of the album on vinyl via TDE and peep the K Dot's full slate of summer tour dates below along with the mash-up.
