Idris Elba Raps Desiigner’s “Panda”

Superstar actor Idris Elba pays a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to play a round of karaoke with a twist. In the clip, Elba imitates Desiigner's smash hit "Panda" using a voice-altering microphone.

In the skit aptly named "Box of Microphones," the 43-year-old Brit chose a mic that created a chipmunk vocal effect. The actor who famously played Stringer Bell in The Wire proceeded to rap the "Panda" chorus and show off some ill dance moves.

Then it was Fallon's turn, and he opted for a pink mic that made his voice very, very deep for a rendition of Drizzy Drake's Views single, "One Dance." Ultimately, Elba and Fallon got fake-romantic for a parody of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love."

In case you didn't know, Elba is a fan of hip-hop. A couple years back, he told Noisey that he's a Run The Jewels fan, saying, "Their flow is stupidly sick and they have some intelligent lyrics. Thumbs up from me." In other news, now that Daniel Craig announced he's stepping away from the James Bond series, could Elba be in the running for the role? We know that Kanye West wants to see it happen.

In an equally hilarious Desiigner-related video, a group of old people recently attempted (key word: attempted) to understand the lyrics to "Panda." You can watch that here. One guy named Don said, "Just looking at the lyrics, I’d say the song sucks."

You can check out the funny Fallon clip above via the show's YouTube account. Keep it locked to XXL for all things Desiigner-related.
