Yesterday, I wrote a post to promote two videos which I thought should get greater attention. Hopefully this meant you watched the offerings from The Bees and The Mooney Suzuki, and increased your musical knowledge a little bit.
This post was part of an endeavour by the whole of the b5 Music Channel to suggest some […]
Before I can start seriously talking about this song and video, I have to get two things out of the way first:
1. What a stupid name for a song. Not only does it read as if Paris is in Tokyo, when we know it’s really in Germany, but it’s a lazy name. There’s no thought […]
I’ve been quite scathing about both Dance and Hip-Hop on Killed By The Video Star up to now, and with reason too, as both genres tend to be quite shallow, and not very inventive.
However, I’ve hit a problem, as I kind of like this tune, Wearing My Rolex by Wiley, as even though it combines […]
Kanye West seems to have turned in to collaboration man lately, only being able to release songs if someone else is there with him holding his hand.
But now, he’s back on his own, and with a single that shows the man has more talent in his right pinky than a swathe of the current breed […]
I’ve never liked Nelly, in fact, I’d go as far as to say I used to hate him. Not any longer though, not because he’s got any better, or because I’ve mellowed out in my old age, it’s purely because he’s got rid of the stupid plaster he used to wear on his cheek.
That does […]
If I see one more R’n’B/Rap video which just follows the same plot, and ticks all the necessary boxes without offering anything different from all the other similar songs, I think I’m going to go mad.
Oh hang on, it’s too late as I’ve just watched Sexy Can I from Ray J and can already feel […]
Any regular readers of this site (if there is any, I’m not sure judging by the lack of comments I get) will know that I’m not a big fan of the current generation of Rap/R’n’B artists around.
It’s just that most of them are generic and pretty untalented, just putting the same crap out there as […]
I’ve got so much to say about this song, the crappy video which accompanies it, Akon being a talentless fool, and the emergence of T-Pain as “the guy who can’t have a hit by himself”.
Let’s start with Akon. He came to mine, and most people’s attention with Lonely, that song which had him accompanying what […]
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 […]
