MGK's idea of a Christmas gift may differ slightly from ours.
MGK and Christmas aren't two things that you would immediately group together (unlike, say, Bing Crosby and yule logs), unless your Christmas celebration includes waking up somewhere strange and possibly getting arrested. If it does, then MGK and Christmas make PERFECT sense together. But for most of us, MGK's view of the holiday season, like the unstoppable solo artist himself, is as unique as a solitary snowflake falling on a cold December morning.
Although we'd have a lot of fun guessing, MGK made sure we knew exactly what it's like to be him on Christmas with a performance of the popular Christmas carol "The 12 Days Of Christmas" (except his version has been cut down to six days... because he's MGK and he doesn't have time for that s***). But the thing that really sets us apart from the "Invincible" rapper are the Christmas gifts he's received. Without giving too much away, let's just say that Santa gave MGK the greatest gift of all, and it's a gift that keeps on giving. And no, it's not an Xbox.
Watch MGK perform "The 6 Days Of Christmas" and reveal Santa's special gift to him after the jump.
In the first clip, the EMA Winner for U.S. Artist About To Go Global and 2012 Best MTV Live Performance winner talks about a fateful night and strange encounter with Santa Claus. When MGK was a kid, he claims to have been awoken by a jolly, red-suited man who gave him a gift he could surely use over and over. "The gift all in all, boys and girls, was the gift of masturbation," MGK explained in TMI detail. While MGK seems forever grateful, we're pretty sure that if it were a mall Santa, this guys would be going to jail in like, under a minute. Luckily, MGK is probably talking about the actual Santa, who, as it turns out, sounds pretty randy! Creeper alert!
In the next video, the "Wild Boy" reveals the planning stages behind his "12 Holidaze" Christmas carol: "I'm gonna be ripping some solos on the ukulele, 3-minute distorted, insane solos that would make Slash jealous, vocals that would shoot Aretha Franklin out of the water." Those are some impossibly high standards there, but having seen his version, we can safely say he exceeded them.
