FYI | An Open Letter To… The Weeknd
Posted by A on April 15, 2012
Dear Weeknd,
I watched you perform in the desert as the sun set on Coachella tonight. What you’ve done for music as of late has been notable to say the least. With a matter of three projects and no radio play, you’ve single handedly brought credibility back to genre marred with bubble gum hooks and general foolishness. Your music is nothing short of genius, but I have a bone to pick. Actually, it’s quite a big bone. Your live performance just plain sucks.
I sat at my computer watching the live stream of your performance in absolute shock. The whole blogosphere and Twitterverse was in shock. Even the fans watching the show were shocked. They stood there just as bewildered as I was watching from home. They couldn’t even muster enough enthusiasm for an encore. You ran off the stage awkwardly with your hands to your side like something out of Jon Heder’s “Napoleon Dynamite.” It was that bad.
Look, I get it. That’s a huge stage. They threw you in the deep end and forced you to swim. You’re a new artist. You’re still developing your stage presence. It’s like anything else, it just takes practice. Even Frank Ocean’s stage performance was poor at best. That I’ll let you slide on. What I won’t let you get away with was your vocal performance. Half of your songs weren’t even in the right key. Drake should have bought you some floaties because you sank miserably.
Despite your slopping showing, I’m still a fan. I’ll still come to your shows, listen to your music all by myself in a dark room, and buy your debut album when it comes out. You’re making music that nobody else has the ability to make, and we celebrate you for that. However, tonight we all learned that you were less invincible than previously thought. And in a strange way, makes you more likable.
Sincerely,

“You know I’ll call before I come. I won’t just drop on over, out the blue ooh, and I hope that you do too.”

Waiting tables by day and moonlighting as a rapper at night, Josiah will soon become a household name under the tutelage of MicControl’s Chris Taylor.

Hip-Hop | Pat Stansik- I’m 24 (Video)
Posted by A on April 12, 2012
“I’m not really that old but I’m not that young, when it comes to my life I’m 1/3 of the way done.“
I feel your struggle Pat. I feel your struggle. It hits close to home, as I’m only a few months away from 24 myself. And I’m definitely feeling the effects. All of my friends are getting married. I can’t stay out as late as I used to. I’ve gained like 10 pounds. Growing up is hard, despite the fact that my I’m on my parent’s health insurance, and car insurance, and phone bill. But I digress. This song goes out to all you 20 somethings just trying to find your path in life. Shout out to all my people born in 1988. Represent!
Hip-Hop, Videos | Lil B “The Based God” Lectures @ NYU
Posted by A on April 12, 2012
The Based God has done it again. On Wednesday night, The Based God visited NYU as a guest speaker at the request of the university’s president John Sexton. Speaking before a packed house, the Based God touched on such rare topics as studying ant farms, being on the same wavelength, and doing yourself on one hundred thousand percent. Pacing the floor with mic in hand, Lil B had the crowd hanging on his every word, fans constantly chiming in to add words of encouragement. Lil B’s speaking engagement was truly historic. For all those who missed the speech, hit “read more” to watch the videos below!
Hip-Hop, Videos | Riff Raff- Time (Video)
Posted by A on April 11, 2012
“My days are slow and my nights are cold. To go to sleep, I keep my TV on.“
Sampling the Plain White T’s smash hit, “Hey There Delilah” Riff Raff grants custody of an introspective Johnny Cash esque swag that warns of the trappings of fast money, fame, and fake friends. He laments, “No one to come home to. No one to cook for me. When I’m sick, it’s a catastrophe” as he lays on the floor with a solitary female hand rubbing his chin-strap beard. Whether or not you find the freestyle scientist’s video disturbing is irrelevant, as the different hair styles easily make up for the weirdness. Get used to Jody Highroller, he’s single handedly taking over the rap game. RAP GAME CHUTES AND LADDERS. RAP GAME HERMAN CAIN. RAP GAME MACAULAY CULKIN.
