IknowUknow we pick the best songs to go on this blog, soooooo why not introduce the latest song from Wiz Khalifa. “Make it Hot” will be sure to put this young kid on the map. After leaving us with the hot single “Say Yeah“, Khalifa brings us back to that techno sound. “Make it Hot” features pounding synths, a catchy hook, hard hitting drums, and a powerful melody. I guarantee that after you listen to this song you will be pressing reply. Yea, he isn’t the best lyricist, but he gets the job done wit this song. Definitely will be checking for his album if his next single is as good as his first too. This song will be getting played in your local club shortly……..”I Make it hot, I make it hot, hot, hotttttt”…….IknowUknow rating 4/5….
(IknowUknow this article is a little late but I have been meaning to put it up…..here we goooo)
What could have been? After witnessing the collapse of the Lakers, or domination of the Celtics (however you look at it), I started to think what could have been for the city of Boston. Not only did they win the NBA Championship, but they also won last years MLB World Series. That’s 2 major sports titles in one year….But there’s more…Boston almost completed doing something that has never been done in sports before; by winning a 3rd national sports title in one year. Just last February the Patriots were trying to complete a perfect season by winning the Super Bowl (only to be beaten by Boston’s main rivals, NEW YORK). The Patriots had a chance to not only make football history, but City Championship history (lol i know that sounds funny)……AND if you travel back even further, Boston College was at one time ranked number 1 in NCAA football. NCAA football is almost a religion in the USA, and this title would have meant a lot to the city. By the way, I am not a Boston fan in any way (I do root for RANDY MOSS though), but I would have been happy to see something like this happen. My generation almost had a chance to see sports history made, but then again I think about what could have been. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IknowUknow the blog has been getting a little slow, but hey we’re working on it. We decided to start off the new week with a new single, “Best Best”, from Missy. Although the song was debuted last month, I didn’t get a chance to hear it until today. I personally think this song will grow on people. The song is produced by Danja Handz, and you can tell that him and Missy have a good vibe. The song features a dark Transylvania synth, a weird echoing “Ewwwhhh” scream, catchy melody, and bouncing drums. The thing I like about this song (besides the beat) is the flow that Missy decided to pick for the verse. At first listen, people will think that the chorus sounds normal, but once she gets into the verse you hear the genius behind Missy with the repeating of words. She ends every sentence with a repeated word….“He the best (best), He the bomb (bomb)/ He cute (cute), He umm (Umm)/ He fly (fly), He fresh (fresh)/ He give me, good sex (sex)”….giving the song a bounce that only Missy can create…..IknowUknow rating 4/5………………….look for this song to climb the charts next month…….and PLEASE PEEP THE SWITCH UP AT 3:45…………….
IknowUknow Stephon Starbury is on the verge of being a forgotten player. I honestly think it’s a shame that I used to be a fan of this guy. At one point he was my favorite player in the league (don’t hate). There is no reason that he couldn’t have been the player, if not better, than AI (Allen Iverson). Marbury was just as fast, just as good handle of the ball, a better passer, one of the bigger & stronger guards in the league, and he could score. I remember when him and A.I. used to go back in fourth in games. BUT then I remembered one fact, AI wins games. I mean yea, you could argue the NETS were injured when Marbury was there, while they were healthy when Jason Kidd (the greatest) was there. BUT lets not forget that the Suns were a playoff team before Marbury went there. Is he really the team killer? Hey, numbers don’t lie and his winning percentage is hurting. Was this guy supposed to be the savoir of the Knicks…..Good Luck…..”OOhh I like that”
Anyway, this interview is hilarious. Marbury explains why Zach Randoph was a great addition to the Knicks because he can shoot the COLLEGE three. He talks about how he going going to average 12-13 dimes and 2-3 assists (yea they are the same thing). He forgets to turn off his cell phone during the interview. He even talks about “Shiny Stuff” (the NBA Trophy) and how he doesnt shoot for it but he shoots to win. AND to top things off he even manages to call his wife his “Better Hoe”, yup his “Better Hoe”. Marbury you tried, but Come on, all that money and you can’t hire a media trainer…..All in all, Marbury keep trying and maybe you can win some fans back…”OOhh I like that“…What do YOU think?
IknowUknow everything is uptempo on the radio today minus Keisha Cole’s new song, so why would John Legend drop something slow? Well since synthy club tracks are dominating the radio, John Legend decided to apply his style to a club track; Oh and he brought Andre 3000 . The song is entitled “Green Light“ and it’s definitely not the John Legend style track we are used to hearing. Well change is good and this song definitely bumps. I don’t know how most John Legend fans feel about this track but he definitely did a good job. Andre 300 did the usual, and killed his verse This guy (Dre) can disappear for months and come back and still rip a song. The bouncy drums and spacey synths make this track a true feel good song. I think John did a good job straying away from his usual sound…………What about YOU? IknowUknowrating……4.5/5
Before everybody starts complaining about how T.I. isn’t the king of the south, I just want to say “Who Cares“. IknowUknow Luda could be considered, Wayne, Jeezy, and I cant forget the vets Bun B, Big Boi, Dre 3k, Scarface. We could be here all day arguing this (in no way is T.I. the King of the south BTW). I’m just here to say that the self proclaimed King of the South found a record with that bounce, “Swing Your Rag“. Yea “No Matter What” was dope, but as far a that single he NEEDED, NOPE. This track showcases that style that T.I. is known for. Once again Swizz has come correct with the beat…..I swear this is the only dude that could pull off these types of beats. And if you playing this song through weak computer speakers, you can slap yourself now because you’ll be missing out on the bounce of the song…….With three good singles so far, “Papers Trails” is looking good. Look for this song to get heavy play in the club……IknowUknow rating 3.5/5…….4/5…….
