Madonna has always been a strange celebrity creation. She was once very attractive but she can’t really sing, she can’t really dance, she’s never really wrote or composed the majority of her songs, and yet she is hailed as the greatest female singer and performer of all time. […]
Nobody watches TV adverts any more. Thanks to DVR’s, we can all skip past any crappy ad, and in today’s world that means all television advertising. Aware of this fact, the Ad Execs now want you to see all the necessary information as you’re forwarding past, so they […]
The Pinkprint shows how much Nicki Minaj has crossed-over. Over the years following her rise to fame, she has abandoned any allegiance to the Hip-Hop genre and has instead become a strange and unpleasant amalgamation of cheap Pop music, tacky video aesthetics, and exaggerated body parts. The album […]
Hip-Hop is now undoubtedly a watered-down fake version of itself. Case in point; J. Cole’s track “Fire Squad” from his upcoming Album “Forest Hills Drive”. The track is okay (nothing to write home about) but when it was released yesterday, people focussed on a section from one of […]
Artists from the underground Hip-Hop genre have given us many great and memorable mixtapes. But since the mixtape is free, fans ignore and forgive any shortcomings these releases may have. An Album on the other hand, is supposed to be different; it is supposed to be “professional”, it […]
Both credible music and credible sub-culture has been quietly hi-jacked and replaced by forgeries over the last twenty years or so. Case in point; Chris Brown, who looks like the result of the four members of Color Me Badd somehow procreating with each other, and whose vocals pretty […]
Many things changed after September the 11th 2001, the most obvious thing was the Law. There was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, there was the creation of the Patriot Act, ideas such as indefinite detention without trial, searching through personal records without a court order, […]
Ariana Grande is one of those preppy, perpetual “youths” churned out by the conveyor-belt at Nickelodeon. After leaving the ghastly ‘Victorious’, she seems to have kept the shrill voice that she sported on the show and dragged it kicking and shrieking into the world of Pop music. But […]
Anybody who remembers the hype that surrounded Canibus in the late nineties remembers that almost everyone was on his side during the beef he had with LL Cool J. But like some kind of Hip-Hop train wreck, over the years that followed, he completely destroyed any credibility and […]
With the majority of the singles having already been released during the last few months, it isn’t hard to piece 50 Cent’s upcoming album together. And whether he decides to add an extra track here or there, or toys with idea of re-arranging the tracklist; “Animal Ambition” will […]
Future represents everything wrong with contemporary Hip-Hop; he has a deliberately slow-moving flow and his songs always feature club and chart focussed choruses complete with dumbed-down lyrics. In fact his music is so bad, that if you listen to any of his horrendous tracks, each with their […]
It gets tiring trying to defend Hip-Hop music, especially when the contemporary image is that of misogyny and money. Every time you bring up reasons why Hip-Hop is great, the majority of people don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. The only Hip-Hop they’re aware of is […]
Every day there are more and more musicians who change their style in order to “crossover” to the mainstream. None more so than Katy B, who with her follow-up to the 2011 album “On A Mission”, has created such an obvious attempt at sucking up to Pop Music, […]
