Drake: Why Is He Considered A B**** in The Hip-Hop Community?

Drake: Why Is He Considered A B**** in The Hip-Hop Community?
Drake. A rapper on the Young Money label. Everytime I hear about this guy a few popular definitions seem to find their way out of the mouths of certain hip-hop consumers. The first of which is that people see him still as Jimmy “Wheelchair Jimmy” Brooks from Degrassi: The Next Generation. He hasn’t been on... Read more »

An Open Letter To Nikki Jean

Dear Nikki,  I seriously hope that when Pennies In A Jar comes out on July 12th that you get the success that you deserve. I believe in your scaled-back sound and your humble demeanor. You don’t put it flashy dance numbers or try to present yourself as some sort of untouchable pop princess. You’ve shown... Read more »

Beyonce Knowles Has No Real Power Over Real Women

Beyonce Knowles. Former member of Destiny’s Child. One of the many things about this woman that seems to constantly be mentioned is the fact that she talks about girl power and women being in charge. Obviously, the reality is different and far from the message that Beyonce likes to push. If Beyonce did a song... Read more »

Nicki Minaj: Less Booty, More Talent

Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj seems to be the biggest female rapper out there at the moment. When people, especially men, discuss how big she is, they are hardly referring to her rap skills; they are referring to junk in her trunk.  It seems to be working for her in terms of getting the media’s...

United Airlines: Stop Messing With David Choi's Luggage

Singer/Songerwriter David Choi is something of an interest to me musically. His songs have a funny melancholy to them that doesn’t feel completely annoying or overtly dramatic as someone of his caliber would often sound like. I mostly came into knowing about him through from the so-infectously-deep-pot-shot-at-pop-music known as “Dance To This Song”, which he... Read more »

Jennifer Hudson: J Records Is Screwing You Over

Alright Jen. This is album number two.  My review of your first album, which I did on Blogcritics, perhaps wasn’t fair. I do think you were trying to find your sound with the first time around. This new album however isn’t a question about what your style should be. My criticism of this album comes... Read more »

Don't Want More Rebecca Black's? Promote Good Music!

This is Rebecca Black.  Thirteen years of age. Straight out of Anaheim Hills, California.  If “Friday”, the song that has become the latest unnecessary viral sensation on the Internet, had simply been ignored, pop culture critics would have nothing to say about it. Since everyone has apparently decided this was the most deplorable thing ever... Read more »

Attention Justin Bieber Fans: Sit Down And Shut Up!

Truthfully, I never watched the Grammy’s. Most of the people who win these kinds of awards can’t carry a tune never mind them actually trying alone a whole album. Having swiftly purchased on ITunes her most recently album (Chamber Music Society), I can see why she deserved the win. She plays instruments, she sings in... Read more »

Erykah Badu Brought Soul, Funk And Good Vibes To The UIC Pavilion

Last night I had the pleasure of being taken to another state of mind; a state of mind where your troubles are gone, or at least seen through a different perspective.  Erykah Badu, who in the beginning was coined as merely a neo-soul artist, has transcended into something beyond any definition created by the music...
