Remember when Riff Raff showed up on the scene wearing cornrows and gold teeth? He looked like a culture-appropriating joke; part caricature, part racist stereotype, the whole look was embarrassing to say the least. A white artist trying oh so hard to look “black” is embarrassing enough but […]
Christmas Pop songs thrived during the ’70s and ’80s and those two particular decades seemed to capture the spirit of the season perfectly as artists of the day translated the festive feeling into a handful of memorable tracks. After that period however, most attempts at a Christmas song […]
‘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 […]
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 […]
What is the point in the MOBO Awards? What started as a wannabe BET-cum-Source-Award-knockoff has slowly become shittier and shittier over the years. The longer this lame excuse of an award show goes on, the more it seems to sell-out. I mean having Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, and […]
Timbaland and Pharrell Williams are walking, talking, and producing examples of musicians who have sold-out. These two Virginian Pop-whores managed to take a genre famed for its grimy sound, and over a decade metamorphose it into modern-day Disco trash. Because of these two money-hungry bitches, Hip-Hop will never […]
Kanye West: an overrated producer, an average rapper, and a shitty singer. With a face that resembles a chipmunk, his early production consisted entirely of pitch-shifting shit which either Alvin, Simon, or Theodore could have voiced. He began his musical career by destroying the memory of classic soul […]
Pop music is and always will be the result of people who have no taste, no style, and no clue. While innovative sounds and avant-garde styles lay dormant in the underground with all the real talent, yesterday’s tried and tested bullshit fills the billboard charts. Turn on any […]
Simon Cowell has become the bane of contemporary television and music. This socialite’s offspring has left a decade of god-awful television and pop music in his wake, and like most descendants of wealth, he was given his first job by his father, regardless of suitability. From this position […]
The once lyrically adept Nicki Minaj seemed like a breath of fresh air in the world of stagnant Hip-Hop. By the late noughties (2000’s) Hip-Hop as a genre was overfilled with dumbed-down lyrics, it needed new blood in order to inject some life into this decaying art-form. With […]
A movement which was once intended for the black working-class minority of America has now become the antithesis of it’s origins; white-owned and sold to the middle-class by speaking a new language catered to the promotion of luxury products such as fashion labels and jewellery. Hip Hop is […]
Music is an art-form which was intended for acoustic and lyrical expression; an outlet for anger, love, political and social opinion, and abstract expression of the state of mind, it was supposed to be a representation of its time and its people. Music has slowly over time been […]
