THE TOP OF THE TOP



So Damn Damn Damn! its been a crazy year! and its been an even longer time since i gave ya'll some love on this blog, but i promise I'm back in the game, but i wanted to give you guys and dolls my opinion and suggestions for my top 5 albums of 2012. this year it is urban as hell, lol, very R&B and Hip Hop heavy, so you better love some flava!!!!!!! so lets get down to buisness.


Big Boi: Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors. This album blew my mind, and although its not flawless, its near perfect in my eyes. it flows good with the exception of two songs, but its worth ur buck, or bucks ;) it features some of my favorite artist like KID CUDI, Little Dragon, and the highly underrated  Kelly Rowland (Destiny's Child). 

HOT TRACKS FROM THIS TITLE
She Hates
CPU
Apple Of My Eye
Mama Told Me



RIHANNA: Unapologetic, NOW i am a DIE HARD marine from the rihanna navy, i think she can do no wrong, BUT les be annas! TTT (talk that talk) was a weak ass album, and though i like a buttload of songs off that album, i know when to say, man riri you need to up ur game, and i think this bitch knew and she brought it with this album. it flows from one end to the end starting off with a sick David G. track "Phresh Off The Runway" and ending with a coldplayesque bow out "Half Of Me" if you are not even a fan of Rihanna, you will find something off this album. she went less sexual and more fun on this return and I'm in love.

Hot Tracks From This Title
Phresh Off The Runway
Numb
Pour It Up
Jump
Stay
Get It Over With



Frank Ocean: Channel Orange, If I Had To Pick The Top album of the year, it would be this, channel orange has thought, and heartbreak, and i have been through it this year, i connect with it, not so much the songs about crack rock, but the songs about unrequited love lol. from the intro to the outro this album delivers, if you like soul and story telling, this songwriter is a genius.

Hot Tracks From This Title
LOST
PYRAMIDS
BAD RELIGION
SUPER RICH KIDS
CRACK ROCK


BRANDY: TWO ELEVEN, Brandy had been out of the game for a minute, but damn did she comeback with this album, its a mix of new and old "B Rocka" she worked with Mike Will Made it, Frank Ocean, and Chris Brown, on this album and it all came together perfectly in my eyes, i enjoyed this album a lot this year and i am so happy to have this woman back in my ipod.

Hot Track From This Title
So Sick
Slower
Let Me Go
Put It Down (feat. Chris Brown)
Hardly Breathing
Do You Know What You Have?
Can You Hear Me Now?


Big Sean: Detroit, This one is free people, Why? Cause its a mixtape, and a damn good one at that, this is a great work and a fun and creative collection of music. and for nothing it feels so guilty to have. out of all the hip hop records this year this stood its ground. 

Hot Tracks from this title
24k of gold
Experimental 
Guap
Sellin Dream feat. Chris Brown
RWT

PITBULL Vs. LOHAN



Pitbull has responded to a lawsuit filed by Lindsay Lohan, who claims that the rapper disparaged her name in his recent hit "Give Me Everything." In a statement on his official website, the Miami rapper says that the line in question – "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan" – was not meant to be taken so harshly. "When I mention Lindsay Lohan in the record it’s really a positive message,” he wrote. "When I say I got it locked up, if you play at the park, if you from the neighborhood, when they say you got it locked up, that means you run that area."
"I was very surprised when I found out about the lawsuit," says Pitbull. "To me it was very ironic, to be honest with you. At first I read it and I thought, ‘It’s gotta be a joke.’ [But] come to find out that’s it’s very realistic."
Lohan's lawsuit asserts that Pitbull's lyrics have caused her "irreparable harm." The rapper insists that he did not mean to hurt her career, and has invited Lohan to appear with him on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday when he performs the tune with Ne-Yo.

Dance Central: The Babble Review

 So I Have recently been obsessed with Dance Central which is a music video game for the Xbox360 that utilizes the Kinect camera, which is some of the most insane technology i have seen for a game in ages. The game was developed by Harmonix dont know em? sure you do they are the creators of the Guitar Hero and the Rock Band franchises, and is the first launch title for Kinect. It was released in North America on November 4, 2010. so i hooked it up and man oh man, do i burn more calories at home than i ever have lifting weight and jumping jacks in my small ass room. now u do need a good space, to shake that ass, and if ur butt is as big as mine, you will need even more space, so try a living room, cause if you ase greedy and have your set-up in ur room, you most likely will be playing it alone. 

Now this game has different modes. Gameplay involves the player performing given dance moves which are tracked by Kinect and represented on the screen by one of eight in-game avatars. The game features over 650 different dance moves spanning over 90 dance routines. There are five modes available: Perform It: The regular single-player gameplay mode, in which the objective is to complete these dance routines to earn a high score. Workout Mode: An extension to regular mode in which the number of calories burned are also tracked, along with the workout time. Dance Battle: Two players compete in a head-to head dance routine battle. The person with the highest score is the winner. In the rare event there is a tie in the score, the player who passed more moves wins. Challenge Mode: Once four songs in each category have at least four stars on each one, a challenge based on the difficulty is unlocked. This mode increases the difficulty of the game by having four songs combined into one, thus mixing up the dance moves. All challenges must be completed with four stars on each challenge in order to unlock the final challenge. Break it Down: A practice mode that allows beginners to learn more advanced dance moves in a step-by-step process This isnt ur basic WII recognition system, so if ur used to just moving ur arms to get through it, hasta la vista, cause this is like having a true coreographer breathing down ur back. it knows skeletal movements so it knows what ur up to. dont hate the player hate the game.

The game received favorable reviews from critics, garnering an average score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 53 reviews. The game received a rating of 8/10 from IGN and a rating of 8.5/10 from GameSpot. Popzara's Brittany Vincent praised the game, saying "Dance Central may be the best game of its type ever made. It sashays out of the gate swinging with slick presentation, fantastically responsive controls, a shakin' set list, and the innovative edge of hands-free control. As a party game, a workout option, or even a private break down, it just works; it's the next evolution for dance games." Video game talk show Good Game gave the game an 8 out of 10 calling it the best launch game for the Kinect and a step forward for dance games. They said workout mode was a nice addition which will definitely give you a workout and the Dance Battles would be a big hit at parties. Nintendo of Americas President, in an interview told that "Dance Central is, by far, the best Kinect game"

Bottom line: GET THIS GAME: cause its a great first game for the Kinect. and its great for groups.

(DE) F.A.M.E.


Always Was A tiny Fan Of Chris, but all recent events aside, i am giving my full honest review, I am currently streaming, the whole album, from my XBOX radio, and so far its completely void of the rage monster that was at the Good Morning America performance. it opens with the widely popular "Deuces" which i am also a fan of, the next track is a little stereotypically R&B sounding, any artist could have made "Up To You" That song leads into a more upbeat mid-tempo track called "NO B.S." completely racy and sexual, and it sounds as if he has never been in a English classroom. Not a fan of track 3. "Look At Me Now" is after, and i don't know if he wants credit as a rapper, but i think he raps for about 15 seconds, then handsoff the surprisingly impressive rap baton to BUSTA RHYMES who blows it out the water! "She Aint You" (English soooo bad) which samples SWV's "RIGHT HERE" is probably my favorite track so far. its a nice slick beat, but hes not doing much but lying his own lyrics in the exact same fashion on an already popular 90's HIT which also featured Michael Jackson. NOT IMPRESSED yet "Brezzy" lmfao is that a real nickname? anyways lets move on. "Say It With Me" is the next bringing a club beat and guetta knock-off rhythm's, I LOVE IT!!! lol damn u got me on this one!!!! it a good dance track. onto track 7 "Yeah 3x" I'm not really a fan of this song, it kinda sounds like.......hmmmmm a vengaboys track, remember them WE LIKE TO PARTY! lol or a continuation to that doubblement gum song he did. whatever maybe someone will film a wedding to this song too. so right now I'm looking at the album like you would a crazy person, hes all cocky and evil and violent in the first half, then turn all sentimental, its so far inconsistent, "Next To You" is sweet & cute, yadda yadda yadda, "All Back" is the following track i honestly only listened to one line, and had to skip the track because the radiant stench of bullshit was steaming out the speakers. No i literally Lol'd at the title of the next track "Wet The Bed" which is obviously about chris eating a girl out.............................uh!.................ok moving onward!!!  the next song is "Oh My Love" has a bomb intro i dig the beat, and layers. I'm diggin it, I'm feelin it. i give this one a Babble stamp of approval. (BSOA) track 12 "Should've Kissed You" ok its cute, lol its aight! "Beautiful People" has a sick ambient, sound and i fucking love the first vocals on it, insanely awesome sound mixing. another BSOA. kudos to the producers of this track. The next track, so you don't get Chris Brown confused with any homosexuals is called "Love The Girls" Nice middle eastern beats, sounds a little "keri hilson-ish" which i love. its an okay track. I'm a fan of the "Travis barker" drum beats in the center of the song. "Paper, Scissors, Rock" has a sick Step Troupe beat reminiscent of "HOLLERBACK GIRL" but then TIMBO aka. "Timbaland" comes in and ruins it for me, sorry readers, i hate "Timothy Mosely" as an aspiring producer i probably should steer clear of hating, but I DON'T CARE NONE! the last song "Beg For It" a nice song, to skip. overall out of 17 tracks i liked 2 alot and two soso. id say sample it on itunes. but go with my Stamps (BSOA) to be safe ;) til next review! PEACE OUT! 


CHRIS BROWN, SLOW UR DAMN ROLL


I'm no angel, nor do i think all celebrities NEED to be perfect, in fact, i am a believer that people are human, we make mistakes, we all do. i am the first to admit when I'm an asshole and i do something wrong. but man, Christopher Brown has taken the cake, so much cake in fact, he is starting to look like one of those chicks with a muffin top wearing a mid drift. he is just starting to look like an attention seeking spoiled brat. his PR is obviously now the only reason he apologizes for anything. you smack my girl Rihanna, you show pictures of ur dick (disappointing) and now ur gettin crazy on GOOD MORNING AMERICA? LMFAO fool, you done did it! and on the day ur album comes out? lol mother fucker you have lost a fan. you bore me, ur actions are so obviously a cry for attention, i now see you as a joke. ur status is low, ur covers been blown. but RIHANNA is bomb! get her album LOUD, in stores now ;)

Lady Gaga, WTF is wrong with you?

this is definitely NOT a surprise to me, but Nicola Formichetti&Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta AKA LADY GAGA  gives us a first preview of the upcoming issue 5 of Vogue Homme Japan as none other than her newest act, her alias Jo Calderone, There are two cover versions, both featuring the female artist, looking very much like a dude. The issue releases on September 5th, oh i cant wait!, P.S. that is sarcasm. here is a sneak peek of the awesomely weird interview.







JO CALDERONE - INTERVIEW

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Palermo, Sicily

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT YOU DO / YOUR
OCCUPATION?
Mechanic for my dad's business. This is the first time I've had my picture
taken.

WHEN DID YOU DISCOVER YOU WANTED TO TO THIS?
Well, I always helped my dad at work, since I was a kid. I thought it would be
fun to have my picture taken.

WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS?
I'd love to own my own car shop, I have a bunch of my own ‘muscle’ cars.
Maybe if I take some more pictures I can afford it.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO LADY GAGA?
I met her at a shoot Nick Knight was doing. She's fuckin beautiful, and funny,
and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said,
"Don't be baby, you were "born this way." I took her out after. The rest is
private ;)

Well then! Lady Gaga is clearly bored and is running out of ideas to shock and amuse us!.

KID CUDI: AMAZINGSTUPENTABULOUS!

Hip-Hop Has never looked so Hipster Fantabulous, but now that Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi is around, its never looked, sounded, and felt so crazily good to love Hip-Hop, Kid Cudi is among my favorite rhymers to date. he doesn't feel cliche, he has heart, flow, & charisma. Something about his off-set voice just makes you think. he's not afraid to adorn a colorful hoodie, or rock chucks and a cut-off tee. style aside, this man has a brain. born January 30, 1984),better known by his stage name Kid Cudi (pronounced /ˌkɪd ˈkʌdi/kid KUH-dee),like saying Buddy with a "C", sometimes stylized as KiD CuDi, is an American rapper, singer and actor. He first gained major attention after the release of his debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi. In 2009, his single "Day 'n' Nite" reached the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. "Day 'n' Nite" is part of Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Cudi has also worked with twitterfantastic Kanye WestJay ZCommonSnoop Dogg, MGMT,Ratatat, Lady GaGa, David Guetta and minor artists signed to the GOOD Music labelKid Cudi was oddly enough born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Shaker Heights and SolonHis father, a house painter, substitute teacher and World War II Air Force veteran was Mexican-Native American, while his mother, a middle-school choir teacher at Roxboro Middle School, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is African-American. When he was eleven years old, Mescudi's father passed away from cancer; his passing would have a significant effect on his personality and subsequently his music. Mescudi attended Shaker Heights High School for two years, transferred to Solon High School, and earned his GED. Later, Mescudi studied film at the University of Toledo then dropped out after a year. Cudi's debut album and my personal favorite Man on the Moon: The End of Day was released on Universal Motown Records on September 15, 2009 and sold 104,419 copies in the first week and charted at #4. The album's first single was Day 'N' Nite, and is Kid Cudi's greatest commercial success thus far, the song charting well both in the U.S. and in Europe. The next single was "Make Her Say" (originally titled "I Poke Her Face"), which features a sample from Lady Gaga's song "Poker Face" and performances by Kanye West and Common. if you really have not heard much of Kid's music, i really really suggest that you but the album blindly, its a crazy genius blend of thoughts, poetry, and genius. he can take a thought that many have had before and jumble it into a melodic off-tune musical journey through a single sentence. BUY THE MOTHER FUCKIN ALBUM!!!!

Katy Perry: Teenage Dream is NOT a nightmare!

So I had The pleasure of listening all week to Teenage Day Dream, and even making my close friends listen to it as well. Now i have to say I'm not into waking up in Vegas, and I'm not too into kissing girls anymore, so her first album was not that amazing to me. it was catchy, it was cute, a little sexy, but nothing really grasped me the first time around. But TEENAGE DREAM the sophomore album from Santa Barbara's Sweetheart Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson AKA Katy Perry is actually a pleasant mix of sounds and lyrics. its not deep or profound, but its definitely a new direction i feel. The First track, TEENAGE DREAM is kind of a dirtier version of a Taylor Swift song. :You think I'm pretty, without any make-up on" I'm sure that's what every "teenage" girl wishes her man would be. i didn't like this track when i heard it as a solo track on the radio, but as the intro to this album, it kicks off the journey of this 12 track album surprisingly well. the second track, (probably my favorite) LAST FRIDAY NIGHT [T.G.I.F.] has a great start with lyrics like "I smell like a minibar" and "this a hickey or a bruise?" it makes this track about passing out at a crazy party the perfect female HANGOVER anthem. it even has a sexy-cool saxophone solo for ya at the end. CALIFORNIA GURLS feat SNOOP DOG is a pretty catchy tune, and I'm not gonna talk about it because you all have heard it. BUT Representatives for the Beach Boys are threatening to sue Perry for including the classic line "I wish they all could be California girls" in her tune. The line is lifted from the Boys' 1965 rock classic "California Girls," and the paper reported that publishing reps at the Boys' Rondor Music have sent a letter to Perry's label demanding that the original song's writers, Mike Love and Brian Wilson, be given a writing credit on "Gurls" as well as a share of royalties. i think that's kinda lame, but oh well, i guess when ur all washed up, you will go after all you can get. FIREWORK is the 4th track on the album, and i dig this one alot, its very Kelly Clarkson-ish it has that "since you've been gone" guitar riff and jump-up-and-down potential. PEACOCK track 5 is, im calling it now for future bragging rights, the new gay anthem, i can already see DJ's in WEHO fading out the PEA in a remix to leave the remaining left to repeat in our ears continuously. its a fun dirty little track, not sure it will get much airplay on the radio, but the clubs are sure to blast it for a dead crowd boost. CIRCLE THE DRAIN is the next track, and this is a great song about someone in a relationship with a broken person on drugs and being fed up with bullshit, it's Katy's Alanis song. "wanna be ur lover, not ur fuckin mother" i like this one alot, great electronic synths in this one. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY is a reminiscent look on a relationship that is no longer, boo hoo not a huge fan of this one it kinda bombs here, but then quickly recovered by E.T. no, not the beer drinking Reese's pieces eating extra terrestrial, or is it? this is the song she seems to be either singing to someone that is so awesome they are out of this world, or she is singing to a freaky alien from m. night shyamalan's movie 'signs". "your touch, magnetizing, feel like i am floating, leaves my body glowing" WHAT I AM LIVING FOR & PEARL are great tracks as well. HUMMINGBIRD HEARTBEAT is a little reprise to TEENAGE DREAM in my opinion, its a continuation. and NOT LIKE THE MOVIES the last track is a great song, it made me appreciate her writing, and the piano touch is a perfect ballad cap for a teenage dream and a fun summer end album. i would buy the album, not just because i liked most of the songs, but because the fucking album is scented like COTTON-FUCKIN-CANDY!!!!!!!!
