#MusicMonday: Will.I.Am feat. Britney Spears - "Scream & Shout"

Will.I.Am feat. Britney Spears - "Scream & Shout"



"It's Will.I.Am and Britney, bitch!"

I'm a BEP fan + I confess I do like me some Britney
The two together make a pretty good song
NO shame in the fact it just makes me want to dance
and scream and shout and let it all out!
haha

because seriously
like Brit says,
"When you hear this in the club
you're gonna turn this shit up!
you're gonna turn this shit up!
you're gonna turn this shit up!"
the pulsing beat makes you

The fashion in this video is pretty clean too
Urban x Classy x Futuristic
Black & Gold to perfection
[my personal favorite with a couple pieces I want as well]




just enjoy, man
it's Britney, bitch!

#MusicMonday: Anjulie - "Rain"

Anjulie - "Rain"

Sometimes I just like to chill out to this song. 

Anjulie

is a Canadian "pop" singer/songwriter from Guyana of Indian descent

now working on here sophomore album 

after several hits off of her '09 debut album 'Anjulie.'

But back to the song...

 We all know this feeling of

"wanting to get back with an ex 

but knowing better and knowing you shouldn't

so you're then tortured and left thinking to yourself what to do type deal"

 but I truly think Anjulie completely captures it in it's entirety. 

The feeling of being caught out in the rain. 

In between 2 decisions because you're living lived both right and wrong.

Rain, one of the purest moments of reflection.

Causing you to be completely submerged in thought, pain, pleasure

with no shame liberating yourself or with total regret, crying out in camouflaged sorrow.

"I know you're not good for me

And I know you're like a drug, it's killing me.

But I don't wanna get my fix

No baby, I don't want to let you in our out."

I easily play this 5x in a row.

It's that real.

M.I.A. - "Bad Girls"

M.I.A. -"Bad Girls"



"Live fast, die young. Bad girls do it well"


So, just in case you didn't already know
M.I.A. is that chick!
[and will always be in my book]


I've always been a huge fan of M.I.A.
since her first album 'Arular' to 'Kala'
(even her 3^rd album '/\/\ /\ Y /\').
With her world/dancehall/electronic/hiphop beats
and her war influenced edgy political/cultural and sometimes sexual lyrics
and unique style & artwork.
This British rapper, M.I.A. has just always been a favorite artist of mine.


So now M.I.A. coming out with this new video for "Bad Girls"
She on some next level dope shit!
Stuntin' mad hard all over the place
with both style and substance.

From car surfing Middle Eastern style to the lyrics
M.I.A. is shutting things down!

the video just goes HARD

The WEEKEND before school starts...

It is the weekend before school starts
and I really just want to
PARTY
just one last time before the start of school
[music x dancing x late nights x ihop x friends x talking shit x having a great time]
but in reality I'll probably do nothing.

in hopes of going out tonight...



if I hear my song
IT'S ON!

#MusicMonday: Dev feat. The Cataracs - "Bass Down Low"

Dev feat. The Cataracs - "Bass Down Low"


"If you want to get with me there's some things you gotta know...
I like my beats fast & my BASS DOWN LOW"

Originally, "Bass Down Low" was The Cataracs' track
but I guess they gave it to DEV
and either way its still a smash
CERTIFIED straight club banger
[Although I prefer the Cataracs' verison better]

"I'm like 1, 2, 3 Okay! Can I get a little Goose in my OJ?
Eryday like my birthday and we sip champagne when we thirstay."

the moving panoramic part right before the chorus is so SICK!
the fashion
SWAG!
[like @DEVisHot likes to tweet]
the whole party aspect
the all female chest poppin' scene
just dope.

Let me get in & be a part of something like that, Dev
straight gutta
that's why I luv DEV

She got some hot lines
but again I have to post
the Cataracs' verion

Cyrano's captain swag & Campa's jacket
[I want to jack]

"Homegirl all on me like a magnet
talkin' bout "I don't give it up that quick."
Huh? like we ain't heard that shit...
She a freak like a cover on a mattress."

it's the Cataracs

#MusicMonday: Dev - "Booty Bounce"

Dev - "Booty Bounce"


I've been listening to this joint for while now so here she is...

Dev,
most known for singing the chorus to
Far East Movement's smash hit single Like A G6.
The chorus is not ONLY sung by Dev but
the chorus is from her single
"Booty Bounce"
She was first picked up by the group The Cataracs,
after recording and touring with Cyrano + Campa of the Cataracs
it was only a matter of time before Dev got a record deal of her own.



"DJ put that record on that's my song, that's my shit!
Poppin' Henny XO all these hoes on my dick."

Dope ass shit
if I do say so myself

Shoutout to Hellz Bellz
[for the fashion]

So glad fly music: beats & lyrics are back in business

Nicki Minaj MONSTER!!!

We all know
Kanye West
"MONSTER"
feat. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver
is nothing short of a monster track
in recruiting some of the music industry's heavy hitters
Ricky Rozay, Minaj & Jigga
(no pun intended - Rick Ross)

Everyone did the damn thang on the joint
except I have to say the breakout verse on the song
is....

barbie bitch

NICKI MINAJ



Leader of the Barbie Nation destroyed
haters & naysayers
her crazy ass flow slayed!
truly complementing the track!!!
NOT a 100% Minaj fan but I gotta give mad props to her for this accomplishment.

here's a fan made video

crazy sick accurate impersonation

"AHHHHHHHHH I'M A MOTHAFUCKIN' MONSTAH!"

#MusicMonday: Diddy Money feat. Drake - "Loving You No More"

Diddy Money feat. Drake - "Loving You No More"

madd kudos for this collabo
Dirty Money x Drake
real lowkey beat & feel
real dramatic especially with the piano strokes
like a break up that must happen
but can't simply 'cause of the love that remains
Heartbreak, heartache & the love won't break
"Loving you no more,
I just I cant I just can't be loving you no more,
I love you more than I love myself"

just... if you've been there you can relate.

I'm just a big Dirty Money Crew fan
I'm so boarding that Last Train To Paris.

-------

Speaking of the devil Diddy...
Diddy has made plenty groups in his day
Da Band
Dream
O-Town
Day26 + Donnie Klang

but no other Diddy disappointment disappoints like Danity Kane.
hearing Dawn on this joint takes me back to the days of DK
this track is so reminiscent to something the girls
would do like "Ride For You" or "He Can't Love You"
I still be missing them...
Danity Kane
[Shannon, Aundrea, D.Woods, Aubrey & Dawn]

#MusicMonday: Cuban Link feat. P!NK - "Play How You Want"

Cuban Link feat. P!NK - "Play How You Want"

an old song
back when P!NK first came out on the scene and did r&b
back when Cuban Link rapped with Terror Squad.
Still a huge fan of rebel ass PINK
IDK what happened to Cuban Link
this used to be one of my favorite song
never knew of P!NK could get on a song with a little Latin vibe
just a hot little song from my past
off of Cuban Link's unreleased album 24K back in 2000
haha...

"Its Pink and Cuban Link.
This is the club with a Latin swing.
So if ya wit' it baby
Blaze up a blunt
Drink till your drunk
Ain't no rules where we're from.
Do your thing, Play how you want
Its Pink and Cuban Link
Cause he be shinin' like a diamond ring.
Now we be bringin' it straight from the Bronx
Drinkin Dom Pérignon
Till six in the mornin'
There's a party goin on!"

Rihanna - "Rude Boy" (Classical Cover by Aston)

ZAston

to think they could play this song with such intensity
doing as much justice as the original
is incredible
"Take it, take it, baby, baby, take it, take it, love me, love me"

ERYKAH BADU Concert feat Janelle Monae & J*Davey

Wednesday, June 22, 2010
I went the ERYKAH BADU Concert
Out of My Mind, Just In Time Tour 2010 AD
feat Janelle Monae & J*Davey @ the Marquee Theatre in Phoenix, AZ!
And you have no idea how EXCITED I was go to. I truly do love Miss E. Badu!
It was the Sunday before the concert I saw a tweet go figure from @yayamartinez [a local radio host for underground hip-hop]
giving out concert tickets for Erykah Badu. Just call in to win. So fan-crazed me called in, sang a Erykah Badu song + BAM!
Won concert ticket!!!





J*Davey
I like J*Davey despite not being well known.
They did my song "Slooow" so I couldn't complain!
Her odd lil vocals and sexy stage performance


Janelle Monae
Now I've been following Monae since she before she was a signed artist
got her first album + unreleased songs
so to see her for real on stage was surreal
she has incredible stage performance; animated as life
Her tightrope is the bizzzzzzzzzz!

*at the end of her set she stage dived.
I caught HER!
MADE MY NIGHT!!!


Erykah Badu
from her entrance to the encore
Badu is just greatness
such stage presence is felt when she's in a building
that personality must be great to be around 24/7
and that voice soars and fills the room


She did all here songs
On & On, Window Seat, Bag Lady, etc
its was a real live set
the crowd was just loving her!




"I AM AN IMMIGRANT"
that shirt was iconic and meant more that words here in Arizona
SB 1070
Phenomenal performance really...
made my summer.
I mean the best I can describe it is if you've been you an Erykah Badu concert
you know exactly what was experienced.
We were all one under the name of Badu
nothing but love in the building!

Gotta love Badu!

#MusicMonday: C-SIDE ft. Keyshia Cole - "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"

C-SIDE ft. Keyshia Cole - "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"


C-Side's first hit was "Myspace Freak"
(an obvious hit on Myspace)
but this track made me a fan of theirs
such an old school feel and Westcoast, summertime beat.
Reminscent to summer crushes and chillin' by the beach or poolside.
Keyshia obviously does her thang on the track
but C-SIDE does their thang too

makes me wanna get boo!
REALLY IT DOES!

Johnny Polygon - "Riot Song"


such a laid back sound & flow
Johnny Polygon is a new artist but not new to the game
his whole style and approach is something new and exciting
and right up my alley of music

the mixtape 'Rebel Without Applause' is the BIZNESS
ICE COLD

#MusicMonday: O-Town - "Liquid Dreams"

O-Town - "Liquid Dreams"



Idk what triggered me to think of Diddy
but that caused me to think of all of his FAILED pop acts
[O-Town, Da Band, Dream, Danity Kane, Day26]
this has got to be the most WHACKEST thing he's produced
They went NO WHERE!
plus for a title like that...
the song needed to be far more sexual + they were a POP act

with Sensato, Black Point & El Cata
but still got it poppin' for the club with Lil Jon

#MusicMonday: Erykah Badu feat Lil Wayne - "Jump Up In The Air (Stay There)"

Erykah Badu feat. & Lil Wayne
"Jump Up In The Air (Stay There)"


the moment I heard this song I knew it'd be my JAM!
I seriously just wanna "Jump Up In The Air (Stay There)"

"Truly I don’t give a fuck I am on the ceiling stuck
Like a fan full of dust
Like her hand full of bucks"

I'm defiently glad Miss Erykah Badu's funky & soulful self is back!
in teaming up w/ Lil Wayne I was scared his verse was gonna be compatible w/ Badu's flow it was just as off the wall
Bilal's backing vocals blend w/ Erykah's just right for this track too
video is definitely something she'd think up
the ending is so immaculate
[read up on ya art if you don't see it]
