True Thursdays: Katy and Nicki Are Overexposed

Both Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj have been having the year of their lives. They’ve literally been everywhere, and neither one of them is showing signs of slowing down.

I wasn’t a big Katy Perry fan until she released my jam, “Teenage Dream” back in 2010. Once that single came out, I was hooked. But now, all I want is for her to go away. Overexposure is a very real thing, and Ms. Perry has been overexposed. Unfortunately, I can’t get away from her music on the radio. Lord help me…

As for Nicki, I have never been 100% sold on this girl. Though some of her verses are good, a lot of them are questionable. When I hear her on the radio, I can’t even comprehend what’s coming out of her mouth. Does she even speak real words?

Maybe I’m being too harsh on these two. Nonetheless, I’m ready to hear and discover some NEW talent in 2012.

p.s. Listen to Nicki’s verse on this David Guetta song “Turn Me On.”

Nicki’s actually the one singing on this track, and she doesn’t sound that bad. If only she sang this good in real life….No, I have not forgotten her GMA performance. SMH. Oh, the wonders of autotune…haha

Music Tuesdays: Neon Hitch Anyone?

On my way to work, I heard one of the best club songs ever!…Okay, that might be somewhat of an exaggeration. Nonetheless, Neon Hitch’s “*^&% U Betta” is already on the top of my listening list for 2012.

Listen below!!

I know this song is beyond vulgar. I tried my best to find the radio edit version…With that said, this is the perfect song for any club/bar, especially for the ones in West Hollywood…;-)

Since “*&(^  U Betta” is doing the absolute most with its lyrics, here’s another song by Neon Hitch called “Get Over U.”

The video for “Get Over U” came out early last year.

Anyways, I really like the sound of her music, and her voice – Neon Hitch definitely makes Gym Class Heroes’ “*^$ Back Home” that much better.

p.s. I know that I keep using the most random symbols to express *&($ and *^&. I’m looking out for the kids! haha

Hot Mess Mondays: Why They So Ashy?!

There’s a new descriptor in town folks and it’s ASHY! No, not ashy as in white cracked skin or the Gross sisters from The Proud Family. Ashy as in stank, hoodrat, disappointing, incomprehensible, and well….you get the point.

Let’s get it!

1) Beyonce for being another celeb.

I actually do like Beyonce. She’s talented and can sell her ashy songs to almost anybody. Yet, I’m a little disappointed that she’s hopped onto the celebrity bandwagon with her baby’s name, Blue.

Everyone can pretty much assume that celebrities are going to name their child something “unique.” For what it’s worth, I like Blue Ivy Carter. It’s got a good ring to it.

2) Common and Drake for having ashy knuckles.

Does anyone know/care why these two are fighting? Maybe we should just give them some vaseline, so they can grease their knuckles and  duke it out like men…

p.s. I don’t actually condone physical violence…well, for something as silly as this. lol

3) Jersey Shore for not being ashy enough?

Apparently, Jersey Shore’s ratings were down about 14% from last season’s premiere episode. Some media outlets are starting to wonder if people are getting bored of the show. The more”realistic” drama has cranked down some, making way for some unbelievably questionable storylines.

I admit that I’ll be watching Jersey Shore until it takes a permanent hiatus. Until then, these young Italians could be using a lot less tanning oil.

Side note: The Jersey Shore premiere had roughly 7.6 million viewers. People are definitely still watching.

ALSO, is it just me or does Pauly D look like Vejeta from Dragon Ball Z?!

Pauly D

Vejeta

Sorry, undercover nerd moment….lol

4) Jenny McCarthy for thinking she’s not ashy.

While watching Access Hollywood, I learned that Jenny McCarthy won’t be doing Dancing With The Stars anytime soon. Apparently, the show doesn’t get enough A-listers like her…Am I missing something? Since when was Jenny McCarthy an A-lister?

Someone needs to get off their high horse and moisturize….

True Thursdays: Drake Makes Another OK Music Video

I’m not sure how much of a failure my title is today…BUT, it doesn’t matter – it’s still time to get it!

Drake

For those of you living under a rock, Drake’s video for “The Motto”  dropped yesterday. Honestly, as much as I love this song, I’m not sure that I like the video.

I’m wondering if it’s Drake’s bad winter apparel and Nike gloves that are causing me to be iffy about this one. I mean, let’s me honest. What boy wears a leopard print Northface? Not to mention, Wayne is “stuntin” in neon green moon boots… If I was a robber, I’d definitely bypass this crowd. Anyways, making OK music videos seems to be a common trend with Drake. Whenever I love one of his songs, I usually don’t like the video for it. Examples are as follows:

“Headlines”

“Best I Ever Had,”

“Find Your Love”

“Any Drake Video”

All I can do now is hope that the video for “Take Care” is a good one because I LOVE that song!

Music Tuesdays: Country Could Get It

I don’t usually talk about country music, but I have been listening to a lot of Lady Antebellum lately.

I love their single “Just A Kiss.” Even though it’s been out for a few months now, it never gets old to me. That’s why I’ve decided to post it today.

Lady Antebellum has been on my radar since their smash hit “Need You Now,” and I don’t think that they’ll be leaving it anytime soon. There’s just something about the duet that gets to me.

Here’s another song by them called “We Owned The Night.”

In all honesty, I find country music refreshing. I like that country artists write real lyrics for their songs unlike some others….

I don’t know who told will.i.am that this song was the new hotness, but I think somebody needs to start keeping it real in i.am’s camp. I don’t even think Fergie could make this crap a hit….I mean, really…What is this song about, and why is Mick Jagger on it?

p.s. This is my 200th post people! Quite the accomplishment, considering posting has and will always be a struggle for me. lol BUT, I love writing for you guys – Cheers!

Hot Mess Mondays: I’m Rick Perry and I Approve This Message

Let’s get it!

1) Rick Perry for approving his own message…

Rick Perry is lucky that he’s an attractive man…Otherwise, this ad would be even more questionable. I personally didn’t know that Obama started a war on religion, but it’s nice to learn something new. *Side-eye*

2) Real World casting directors for not doing their jobs.

Sometimes Real World is entertaining, and sometimes it’s not. Last season, the Vegas cast provided me with an undeniable amount of entertainment. This season, however, the San Diego kids just suck. I can’t think of one cast member that is actually fun to watch. Frank is psycho. Ashley, Alex, and Priscilla don’t really add much at all. Sam, Nathan, and Zach are cool, but nothing else. Basically, this season was a fail. Why I continue to watch? I have no idea….

3) Twilight: Breaking Dawn for that insane birth scene.

I’m not really a Twilight fan and have never watched any of the other movies, but surprisingly I liked Breaking Dawn. Well, I did until the pregnancy part at least. For those of you, who have seen the movie, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Vampires make some disgustingly powerful fetuses.

4) Kristen Stewart for just being a hot mess.

Since we’re on the subject of Twilight, we can talk about how much I hate watching Kristen Stewart. She is so aaaaawkward! Not to mention, she’s a pretty mediocre actress. Why someone decided to cast her as Snow White is beyond me. All I know is that the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman had me hooked until I saw Stewart’s face….Sigh.

Check out Snow White below!

Love Charlize Theron and Thor! haha

True Thursdays: Rihanna Is My Role Model

As much as I can’t stand this Barbadian heifer, she is definitely killing the game right now.

Rihanna

Every time I’m in the car, there’s a song either by or featuring Rihanna playing on the radio. And not too long ago, a DJ even commented on how Rihanna never takes a break. NEVER!

Now, it’s clear that consistently working is the key ingredient to her success. If Rihanna never goes away, then we never have the time to forget about her. Unfortunately, not all music princesses took to Rihanna’s brilliant thinking. Do you guys even remember the last music princess to go on a “break”???…

Yeah….exactly…

**Rihanna is my role model because she has taught me a very important lesson – there is always someone younger and hotter ready to take your place as soon as you need a break. So, keep up the hard work people!**

p.s. Since Rihanna continues to bring the hits, I guess she can keep her spotlight… I’m just kind of bored of her being on every song. There just has to be someone just as pretty and even more talented than her out there. I’m convinced! haha

Music Tuesdays: Glad They’re Back

One of my favorite songs right now is Kelly Clarkson’s “Mr. Know It All.” Even though the single has been out for a while, I am just starting to hear it on the radio.

Kelly Clarkson

Perhaps I am listening to the wrong stations….Nonetheless, it’s a catchy little tune and a definite reminder of why I love Ms. Clarkson.

I’m starting to miss Pop songs like this one.

p.s. Is it just me or does “Mr. Know It All” sound like that song from Anastasia?

I swear they sound similar! And, if not, it doesn’t matter – both songs are great. lol

Moving on….

JoJo

If you didn’t know, JoJo is also back with new music. Listen to her single “Disaster” below!

Apparently, JoJo’s hiatus was due to legal troubles with her former record company. Go figure…Anyways, I’m glad girl is back and with an even more mature sound.

Hot Mess Mondays: Grow Up Bieber!

Okay, I might get some heat for this one, BUT….

1) Justin Bieber for growing into womanhood.

I know that I’ve already put him on this countdown once for this, but I just can’t get over the girlie-faced popstar. When most boys grow up, they get…well…manlier. I don’t know if higher testosterone levels are in Bieber’s future, but one can only hope. After all, it took Zac Efron a while, and he turned out just fine.

Zac Efron

p.s. This will be my last post about Bieber’s look. Poor thing can’t help it.

2) Nicki Minaj for her “new” single featuring Rihanna.

Okay, is it just me, or did Nicki Minaj release “Fly” last year? Radio stations and websites are calling it a new single, and it’s bothering me because I’m pretty sure I was singing this LAST summer. Maybe I’m just a little tired of Ms. Minaj….and her sidekick RiRi.

3. Bishop Eddie Long for being in denial.

Even though his wife has filed for divorce, Eddie Long is choosing to remain optimistic about his marriage. According to Eddie, he and his wife love each other and are not mad at each other…

Yeah right! If any of the black women I know were in the middle of an Eddie Long sex scandal, they would be mad. There’s nothing positive about a cheating husband. And, there’s definitely nothing positive about a cheating husband who is involved with young boys….Side-eye. I won’t judge Bishop Long. I’ll leave that up to his Father.

Note to Men: Women can “forgive” you when things unfold behind closed doors, not in the national news.

4. The creators of New Year’s Eve for making New Year’s Eve.

One can only hope that this movie won’t suck, but alas this is another product of Hollywood…New Year’s Eve  comes out this Friday, December 9th in theaters.

You Too Can Spread The Gospel of Facegang

Ok, I know Bina generally posts music on Music Tuesdays but I had to hack her site one good time to spread the gospel of Facegang!  In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Fly Guys with the help of their buddies BEeFF released their latest mixtape, Facegang 2, last week. What’s Facegang you ask? Well it’s the result of the homies being super turnt up at Merced, receiving face and I mean, you can get more info below.

Simply put, Facegang 2 is the most fap worthy thing I’ve heard since The One came out in April. Records like “I Cream Cone,” “Drop That” and “For the Function” cause me to reenact the Tip Drill video. “Shot Gun,” and “Rollin Weed” have me riding down Sunset Blvd on a 75 degree night in my imaginary convertible. “On My D” and “Traffic” just make me feel good. Don’t take my word for it though, listen for yourself here and checkout the Fly Guys performing LIVE in LA this Friday.

And with that said, be about your bread. Smoke hella weed, f*ck these b!tches and remember what I said. (and check me out at Rinnie’s World!)
