Every few years a certain rapper becomes the figurehead for the ongoing downfall of Hip-Hop. In the past this honour has been bestowed upon artists such as Lil Wayne and Chief Keef and now this anti-accolade passes to Lil Yachty, a rapper-slash-singer from Atlanta who makes ultra-dumbed-down, auto-tuned, […]
These days the entertainment business is littered with the offspring of people who didn’t have the heart to tell their kids that their lack of talent and below-average abilities should prevent them from venturing into the arts. With hacks in film, television, and music, the buck really does […]
It occurred to me recently whilst compiling a list of the Top 25 Best Christmas Songs, that most, if not all of them were created in the 70s and 80s. It’s almost as if singers and songwriters gave up making Christmas songs after the 80s (at least good […]
Mark Wahlberg is definitely up there when it comes to being the worst actor of all time. For some unknown reason this cretin was overrated by the media for his work in films like Boogie Nights and his career as an actor flourished despite him having all the […]
‘AIM’ is one of the most disappointing albums in recent years, the fact that it comes from the once credible M.I.A. it’s even more of a letdown. In one of my previous articles, I compared M.I.A. to Madonna – someone who found cutting edge producers to make her […]
It’s been a while since Lil Wayne released any music so it’s easy to forget the amount of horrendous Hip-Hop he’s made throughout his career. That being said, Lil Wayne is the go-to scapegoat for the commercialisation of Hip-Hop, so while the masses ignore the other co-conspirators (Dr. […]
There’s so many annoying things about Axl Rose, the main thing is that despite being one of the biggest cunts in Rock music, he was a pretty good singer and performer in the eighties and nineties. But like many other musicians who eventually disappear up their own backside, […]
That whole Trap sound has been grating on the ears for a while now, it was okay in 2010, ’11, ’12 but it’s fast becoming a homogenised and indistinguishable mess. The majority of Trap is mediocre, it possesses none of the credibility of Boom Bap, none of the […]
Drake is an example of how mediocre mainstream Hip-Hop has become. This middle class, middle-of-the-road rapper has been annoying us with his poor-ass delivery and whiny, horrisonant voice since the lame “Over” and he’s been inflicting the airwaves with his horrid singing since “Find Your Love”. The track […]
Back in 1997, real Hip-Hop heads were listening to “The War Report” by Capone-N-Noreaga or “I Got Next” by KRS-One, but unbeknownst to them, bubbling under these credible releases was a sleeping giant. Who’d have thought that instead of making the likes of Royal Flush, Killarmy, or Artifacts […]
Migos, a three-piece Hip-Pop group who sound like a Future-slash-Twista knock-off, became popular after their novelty track “Versace” went viral a few years back. This was followed by a remix featuring the overrated Drake and a handful of mixtapes, but today their first studio album “Yung Rich Nation” […]
There’s a contrived path to walk if you’re a contemporary performer wanting renewed credibility, and if you follow this recipe step-by-step, you may just become a pop-culture phenomenon. It all starts when an Artist shows creativity and uniqueness mixed with a bit of immaturity, and this gets them […]
There’s plenty of great music out there, as long as you’re willing to search for it, but when the masses are left to choose, we usually end up with the dregs of society becoming famous. That brings me neatly to the novelty song… novelty songs are usually “one […]
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH...?
