ICYMI: DESIIGNER ON KIIMMEL

DesiignerG.O.O.D./Def Jam's rising hip-hop star—stopped by Kimmel yesterday to appear on the outdoor stage. We learned that, along with being great at rapping, he's also great at jumping, and he's clearly got more energy and enthusiasm than everyone at HITS combined. Watch the exhilarating performance of latest single "Tiimmy Turner" here.

We also appreciated Kimmel's new test, which involved show reps asking pedestrians to interpret the lyrics of breakout smash "Panda." Their attempts are pretty hysterical. See for yourself below.

If you're keeping score. "Panda" is approaching double-platinum status. It went #1 at Urban radio, while peaking at #2 at Rhythm and breaking into the Top 20 at Pop. Follow-up "Tiimmy Turner" is currently #31 and climbing at Urban, while preparing to chart at Rhythm.
