Oh dear. Am I starting to like R’n’B? This isn’t a good development. There’s so much I hate about this song yet I find myself liking it despite myself.
It’s the normal fare, with lyrics describing women as mere sexual objects, and nothing that takes it from the decidedly average to the inspired.
In actual fact, I […]
I quite like Will.I.Am, both when he’s doing his Black Eyed Peas thing, and when he’s making celebrity packed videos for American Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, but what the hell is this pile of steaming horse crap?
I also quite like Cheryl Cole/Tweedy from British pop group Girls Aloud. She’s probably the fittest and most talented […]
At the beginning of the month I reviewed Soulja Boy Tell’em’s début (s)hit Crank That. At the time, I was really hopeful that it would be a one hit wonder, and I’d never have the misfortune of hearing anything so bad ever again.
Unfortunately, Soulja Boy didn’t take my wish that he would quietly retire from […]
M.I.A. is a British artist that is virtually unheard of here in the UK, while getting more and more well known in the US. Kind of like the Scissor Sisters or The Killers (at least when they first came out) but in reverse.
This song, called Paper Planes, has been out for a while in North […]
I’m proud right now, as yet another British female artist seems to have gone to America and started to get noticed, and this one is actually pretty decent.
Amy Winehouse has been admired from afar, while Natasha Bedingfield and Joss Stone have fled the UK to find fame and fortune in the States, with varying degrees […]
Obviously I get to choose the music video that I review here on Killed By The Video Star, but I try to strike a nice blend of genres, and songs I like and hate.
This is one of those songs which falls in to the latter category, and is just a terrible attempt at creating a […]
Timbaland is normally THE man, he can lay his hands on any musical artist and transform what talent they already have in to gold. Unfortunately, I think I’ve just heard his first failure, as this song is a steaming pile of horse crap.
It’s got the trademark Timbaland bassline style, and all the ingredients are there, […]
It’s time for some old skool New York hip hop now, and for that we need to turn to none other than the Beastie Boys, who long before Eminem, were proving white people can rap.
I’ve already reviewed Intergalactic on Killed By The Video Star, which I of course loved, and Alive is no different in […]
After reviewing Ice Cube’s latest Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It, and then the brilliant Today Was A Good Day, I thought I should complete the trio with this one, just so I could put ass in a title.
Even though this is only 8 years old, it’s shocking how much hip hop has moved in […]
I’d never heard of Lupe Fiasco before this song came out, but now I hear him everywhere I go, be it the local pub, shopping mall or on every music television channel this side of MTV.
Is he Kanye West’s younger brother or something? As he looks and acts like a mini Kanye, with the same […]
