TYGA VS YMCMB

Recently Tyga (not Tiger) went on a  twitter rant about his label YMCMB. He expressed his anger towards the label by telling the world that he is being held hostage. Now of course he isin't literally being held hostage otherwise, he would have to call the police. Musically he is being held hostage. He stated that his album is already finished , but for whatever reason he cant' release it.

   YMCMB is known for holding back artists. In fact the primary artists that are being pushed right now are Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, and Rich Homie Quan. Its sad to see because YMCMB has so many artists that are signed to them. Even Bow Weezy prince of the O town is signed to them.

   Tyga isin't the best rapper, but he does what he knows  best which is  to create club bangers and ratchet music. If you go clubbing  a lot chances are that you've heard one of his songs being blasted. He  knows how get a party started(sometimes). Hearing that there are disagreements between Tyga and YMCMB is surprising and not surprising at the same time. I always felt like he was extremely loyal to the label ,but it looks like the label isin't loyal to him ( these labels aint loyal).

   His new album " The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty"  is  gaining some interest  due to the fact that Kanye West is the executive producer of the entire project. Kanye tends to attract people no matter how bad an artist is. I really hope that Kanye influenced not only  Tyga's beats , but also his lyrics. Lord knows he needs help refining his lyrics. " Man I wouldn't shake his hand with a broke hand"................................



   Hopefully Tyga will find another label that will treat him better. As far has his album goes there is no definite release date. Tyga did threaten to leak his album , but you know artists and their twitter rants ( Silly Tyga).

3 SONGS THAT BIRDMAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ON

Blururruruuruururu( Bird call). Birdman is one of the most successful rappers in the game. He runs his own record label with other rappers under him. He even has his own alcohol. These are all very good things that he has going on for him. Unfortunantely, his rapping is atrocious. Birdman often times makes you wonder what is going on in the song. In terms of quality his lyrics aren't were they should be. There are 3 songs that I will be getting into today which feature Birdman. Pop Bottles, We'll Be Fine, and Kemosabe.

1.Pop Bottles By Lil Wayne and Birdman


Pop Bottles is one of my favorites songs to get hype to. It has an energetic beat that will surely make you stand up when you feel like sitting down. Lil Wayne kills his verse. His verse is so good that I often wish that he said more. Birdman gives two weak verses in the song. He literally pales in comparison to Wayne in terms of memorable lyrics. I can take his first verse , but his second verse is where I have to press that skip button with ferocity.

Notable Lyrics: " I'm fresher than a motherfucker
Yeah I'm a motherfucker,
No I won't take your girl, but I shall take her tongue from her"

2. Kemosabe by Doe B, Young Dro, T.I. , B.O.B., and of course Birdman

Kemosabe is an interesting song. Its a pure club banger that bangs in the club.  It has both Young Dro and Birdman who I consider both to be terrible. Young Dro steps it up on Kemosabe surprisingly. He lets loose with bullet spitting lyrics that make you have to rewind the song because you didn't understand what he just said due to lack of pronunciation. Everyone has a good verse on the song except for Birdman. His lyrics are bad plain and simple. He rhymes want and want ( Not joking). I don't think Birdman was in the right state of mind when he wrote his lyrics because their unsatisfying.

Notable Lyrics:  "I do what the fuck I want
And I buy what the fuck I want"

3. We'll Be Fine by Drake ft. Birdman

We'll Be Fine is one of those songs that you can put on repeat. Its a chill song that has a smooth bass.
Drake paints a picture with his lyrics. He shares how things were before and after he blew up into a big rapper. His flow is great on the song. Whenever I'm driving for a long time I can count on this song to pass the time. Out of all of the songs that I've discussed this is the one where Birdman for sure should have been kept off of. Near the end of the song Birdman decides to chime in and share some words with the listeners. Drake kills the song and pretty much Birdman comes in and tarnishes it. He pretty much is giving a shout out to Drake for doing well. Birdman owns Drake so I guess he felt like he should come in and talk about nothing for a little bit.

Notable lyrics: " Let’s be real about this shit, can I take you home?
Or come to where you stay? Do you live on your own?
I heard you got your ways, I never would have known
She said, “you’re such a dog”, I said, “you’re such a bone.”

Overall, Birdman can be a nuisance at times. I think the main problem is the fact that he doesn't say anything memorable or serious. If it is memorable its because his lyrics were trash. Birdman should just stick to the business thing because his lyrics SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

THE FALL OF JENNIFER LOPEZ

 

 J Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Jennifer Lopez  has been busy lately. She's been in the studio recording material that will hopefully please both long time fans and newcomers. She dropped a new album and is heavily promoting it.  The specific song that I want to delve into is none other than Booty.

    Booty takes you on a serious journey. J Lo wants you to understand what it's like to be a booty. The lyrics discuss a girl with a mind blowing butt. Subtle sexual themes are used to reference the female. J Lo describes an average club night were  a girl and guy get together and dance the night away. As to where the night leads is to your discretion. Lo enlists two different artists for the song that will surely make you question life.

    Pitbull is on the ignored version of the song. He seriously is captivated by the booty. He goes as far as to call it an Oscar award winning movie star. I cant imagine what he was thinking when he made his lyrics,but I can  assure you that booty was involved.

   Notable lyrics: I wanna take that big 'ol booty shopping at the mall
I wanna pick it up and put that booty in my car
Baby your booty is a movie star
Oscar award winner of them all

   Iggy Azalea is the other artist that J Lo pairs up with. Iggy is on the remixed version of Booty. The video for this version was recently released. Im not even going to bother mentioning what's going on in the video , but I will say that things get weird. Iggy provides self confident lyrics that boost her ego to another dimension. She creates a rally cry for all women to dance to the music. From what I heard Iggy is willing to let people taste the booty....................WTF?


   Notable lyrics: "A girl with the cheeks, put your hands in the air
Then pop, then pop, let them know
See everybody want to get a taste
You know that we got enough to share
But fat big girls with a big
Too faint, did they ever play fair?"



   Overall the song Booty is ridiculous. Jennifer Lopez is scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Her past work is phenomenal compared to this disgrace. The song itself is a club song. I enjoy club songs , but this is just plain terrible. The features alone guaranteed that the song was going to be bad.


Rating: 3.5 out 10

Just Wow

MOTIVATION BY WIZ KHALIFA

Wiz Khalifa has had an interesting career. He started off as a rapper that rapped about smoking drugs and doing "things" with girls. Today he still raps about the same things except now he raps for movies. I never would have thought that Wiz would be rapping for feature length films. There are two songs in particular that I'm talking about.

1. We Own It by Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz

We Own It was used in the movie Fast 6. It references a lot of the themes that live within the Fast and Furious franchise. An example of this would be the ride or die mentality. Wiz only hangs out with cool people that drive cool cars on cool roads. He talks about family and how family works together no matter what.  2 chainz is present , but at the same time really isin't. He doesn't make sense. The song itself is a bit corny. You really cant take it seriously. Its a good pump up jam to workout to, but that's pretty much it. I wouldn't recommend playing it in the club or in Da club.

Notable lyrics: " And the same ones that I ride with, be the same ones that I die with"

2. Shell Shocked by Wiz Khalifa , Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign

Shell Shocked is a shocker to say the least (pun was intended). The song was made for the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Like We Own It it references the theme of comradery. The turtles are brothers that fight crime together. The message is pretty clear. Wiz gives a quick verse about the turtles. He talks about how they fight for the people. The Ninja Turtles don't need the glory they just want to protect people. Juicy J and Ty Dolla $ign  are the biggest anomaly on this song. They bring up things like cars, Rolex's and passing off girls. To say that I was confused is an understatement.

Notable lyrics: " You know I got your back, just like a turtle shell". ( This line was said by Juicy J............................................)


Overall both of these songs are decent workout songs or just something to get pumped up with. Neither possess great lyrics. As much as I'm not a fan of Wiz I will admit that he gets the message of the movies right. He clearly has the stand out verses in both songs. Personally I like We Own It the best. Its not as corny as Shell Shocked, but still isin't worthy of my ears.  If your trying to get that last set in and don't know how you're going to do it just play one of these songs. You might laugh ,but hey at least you smiled.





P.S.


Wiz is capable of rapping well ,but he chooses not to.

TWO SONGS THAT MAY MAKE YOUR EARS BLEED

YMCMB, the self  proclaimed music empire that " runs" music is in full effect right now. Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are releasing material for their upcoming albums. Both have released a few singles. This blog is about two singles in particular. The two singles that I'm referring to are songs that may make you rethink being a fan of either one of these two.

1. Grindin by Lil Wayne ft. Drake

Grindin A.K.A. Grinding is Wayne's second single off of his unrealeased album, the Carter V. Drake is enlisted to help Weezy fans believe that he's a good rapper once again. The message that Wayne is trying to convey is ever apparent in the song. Lil Wayne is about his grind. There is no room for non grindin. Drake adds on to the message by talking about his haters. The haters clearly get no love from Drake. The beat sets the mood for a brooding and bass booming symphony.  Grindin is one of Wayne's worst songs to date.

Notable Lyrics: " Grindin, grindin, grindin, grindin, grindin, grindin, grindin, grindin"

2. Anaconda by Nicki Minaj

Nicki came out with a bang with this single. Promotion for the song was heavy. The artwork alone made people talk about the song. Nicki knows how to create buzz for her music. Unfortunately, the song isin't worth the hype. The whole song is about guys that Nicki has had relations with. If your with your parents when this song comes on things may get awkward. The song itself is a club song , but even then it's all over the place. Nicki has done much better.

Notable lyrics: " Oh my gosh, look at her butt, Oh my gosh, look at her butt, Oh my gosh, look at her butt.


If I had to choose between the two I would choose Grindin. Anaconda is a bit obnoxious in terms of sound. Both aren't good songs. You can tell that minimal effort was put into the creating them. Hopefully the artists albums have better songs.

Believe me is better than Grindin

3 SONGS THAT WON'T CHANGE YOUR LIFE

    I often ask myself what happened to music. Mainstream music is what I'm primarily talking about. Artists  like T.I., Cash Out, and Wiz Coughlifa are some of the primary culprits when it comes to producing bad music.

1. No Mediocre by T.I. featuring Iggy Azalea

No Mediocre is mediocre. T.I. repeats the words " No Mediocre" 13 times in the chorus. The song itself delves into his standards of women. T.I. has no patience for average women. He wants the best of the best. Iggy Azalea provides a forgettable verse about who knows what.  No Mediocre is your average club song that is sure to get stuck in your head. There is nothing that makes this song stand out.

2. She Twerkin by Cash  Out

 Cash Out came out of nowhere with this song. His last big hit was " Cashin Out" ( No Pun intended). She Twerkin is very similar to No Mediocre. The chorus is She Twerkin x 8 even though it feels like its x 9. Cash Out  allocates a repetitive song with no substance whatsoever. His lyrics are quite interesting. " Deeee hoes say Holy......Moly". Impressed is not the word that I would associate with Cash Out.

3. We Dem Boyz by Wiz Khalifa

We Dem Boyz is a phenomenon. The majority of the song is Wiz says " Hol up". Its very simple. This might just be the  easiest song that Wiz has ever made. Wiz loves his boyz. He will stand up for them when they get in trouble with their grandma. We Dem Boyz ( No girls allowed).

All three of these songs are just terrible.  They're good for going out, but nothing more. They get stuck in your head. Once you start to get sick of them you really see them for what they are.




P.S.

We Dem Stalesssssssss

TOODA LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its crazy how we live in a such a materialistic world. We place so much emphasis on clothes, money, cars, money, power, money ,and oh yea money. I often wonder how things got so bad in the world. Society is made to keep  you down. If you don't follow whats popular or "normal" than people will look at you differently. Social media outlets have so much influence on the masses. One week you can hate someone and the next you can praise them.
     I hate seeing young kids being taught horrible values. Music these days has become so dumbed down that I fear for the next generation.  God made us all so that we could become great. If we all helped each other out life would be a lot better than what it is now. Instead we create division amongst ourselves. Negativity is spread like wild fire. Most people don't even realize that they are being exposed to negativity on a daily basis. People just take what they are given without questioning.
      In all of this craziness there is still hope. Just like in movies where there is a villain there is also a hero. You can choose to fight. They say that we don't realize our full potential until we've hit rock bottom. Every human being has a choice in life. You can either be miserable all of your life, and never reach your full potential or you can be great and tap into the gifts God gave you. It isn't easy maintaining positivity in a world brooding negativity , but the challenge is certainly welcomed. Living life to the fullest is the only option. FUCK living a life with regrets. Nobody deserves to be told that they cant be great. In life you better in encourage someone or keep your mouth shut.

TO FAIL AND KEEP GOING IS TO SUCCEED

Life is truly beautiful. I'm starting to realize a lot of things. One being that I must fail in order to succeed. I have always been afraid of confrontation and failure, but now I'm learning to embrace it. Fear is the one thing in life that can make or break an individual. Fear is the difference  between someone skydiving and someone watching a video of someone skydiving. Getting over fear is tough , but honestly its so worth it. I would rather die knowing that I tried than die wishing I tried.  I like to examine successful peoples worth ethic to better myself.  Will Smith, Derrick Rose, William Hung, Micheal Jordan, etc. These are all people that had to sustain their belief  to get to the top. You have to learn in order succeed. Changing your work ethic requires effort. Distancing yourself from things that you normally do like TURNING UP may have to be sacrificed.   Everyone wants to be successful if you don't then your a certified weirdo beardo. Ultimately, I think that pushing myself whether it be physically or mentally is a blessing.

5 Ways to live a succesful life

  As we all know life can be tough. It can bring you down and can be unfair. Knowing how to bounce back from failure and defeat is one of the best things to have access to. The mind is so powerful. We can literally become what we think. I would like to share with you a few things that have helped me get through life.
               I have found success in using 5 primary things. Hope, faith, endurance, sight, strength. Hope is one of the ways in which I believe. NO MATTER what Is going on hope is what I use when the chips are down. I could have had one of the worst days ever , but hope helps  me maintain my belief in myself and my life.  Faith is very important. My faith comes from my religious beliefs. I'm a catholic and I have faith in God and myself. Faith and hope are very synonymous. You can find faith no matter what your religion is.
               Endurance is the will to take all that life has to throw at you no matter what. If you can endure the hard times you will find that you only became stronger from those very times. The saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is very true. You have to be able to take the hits  and bounce back. Being patient in life is a must. Life throws so many curve balls. Patience is a gift.
               Sight is seeing what you want in your mind. Dreaming or daydreaming are good examples of this. I like to visualize the things that I want. I usually lay on my bed close my eyes and listen to good music. I see and feel what I'm wearing. I feel my emotion at that moment in time and imagine who would be around me. This exercise takes time. Starting off with a simple image in your head like you wearing socks is a good way to start.
                 The final and quite possibly the most necessary key to success is your strength. Strength is pushing yourself to limits that you've never seen. For example when you workout you push yourself to lift more weights. We need to strength to endure.
                All 5 of these things take time and effort to develop. Its like riding a bike. You have to fall in order to learn how to properly ride it. You CAN do anything you believe you can do. When in  doubt say this to yourself. " I've never understood the concept of quitting".
