Drake and Eminem dropped singles today, both are good

Eminem dropped his new single "Not Afraid" from his new CD "Recovery" and Drizzy Drake dropped "Find your love" produced by Kanye West. First and foremost, I'm gonna speak on Drake because his CD is probably gonna come out before Eminem's and this is his second single after "Over". I first became a Drake fan after listening to "A night off" ft Lloyd and I really vibed out to his singing on "So far gone" before i got into his rapping to be honest. This song is all singing, so i'm thinking its gonna do well with the female demographic and have them salivating for this degrassi kid for a little bit. It definitely has an 808s and heartbreak style beat which makes sense because Kanye produced it, but it is definitely a lot more upbeat/happy and doesn't have the T-Pain esque autotune that everybody seems to hate. I like it, i think i'll give it a few more listens before i say i love it, but its a solid song and i think it'll do pretty good on radio. Honestly, i'm expecting his CD "Thank me Later" to be a classic piece of work, he has everything in place for it to be a smash, big name features, solid producers, a team to keep it all flowing together well, and the talent. Now Eminem, my feelings about him have been weird as of late, i admit that back in the day he was an ANIMAL lyrically, he murdered Jay-z on his own song, "Lose yourself" won an oscar, the kid was unbelievable. Later in his career though i always felt he went too easily to the stupid raps where he sounded like an idiot and played around too much, i mean i can appreciate that in spurts, but i expect him to come with the real shit too. To me, the relapse was a failure, other than "Beautiful" i thought it was like ALL dumb/stupid rap and i really was disappointed with the come back. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT then he came with the "forever" verse and started dropping hard freestyles and stuff, and now comes out with the "Not Afraid" record, where he definitely is going hard. I like it, i'm so happy hes coming with stuff like this with the new Cd. He even mentions that "Relapse"was wack and says he'll never go back to that, which i'm ECSTATIC about. I really like the song, i'm expecting heat to come from this album. This is gonna be a good year for hip hop, theres Drake, Eminem, B.o.B., J.Cole, and probably some others, potentially Kanye and Dr. Dre (the Detox isn't gonna come out till 2029).

He's like a white, Canadian version of Sammie


Ah Justin Bieber, his name is almost too easy to make fun of but at the same time you don't want to because hes just so darn tween dreamy *eyes twinkle* (i think his fans should be called Bieber Babies or something like that, i just think it fits too well not to be used) But this Bieber kid, I decided to give my take on arguably the biggest thing to hit pop/R&B music in recent memory excluding people that rhyme with shmady caca (its lady gaga, did you get it? i knew you would). The hoopla about this guy is crazy, though it has died down a little recently because "Baby" has been out for a while, hes supposedly on tour or something, and his next single "Eenie Meanie" ft Sean Kingston is just starting to pick up more steam. Before i get into the bulk of it, i would like to add that the Eenie meanie track is FIYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA, i'll be honest and say it has an incredibly stupid chorus and its pretty generic, but its catchy as all hell and its one of those songs that blends both artists styles well, you'll probably have to listen to it a couple times before you get to that point but i'm calling it now that it has a good shot at going #1. BUT BACK TO BIEBER MANIA!!! After a ton of research and studying, i believe the hype about this 16 year old kid is.......drum roll please............DESERVED. Yep, I said it, I think its deserved. This kid is actually talented, I mean he can actually sing, not sure about the dancing thing, but he can work on that, just look at Justin Timberlake, he went from boy band dancing to almost Usher in like a year. And another thing to note about his last CD, he actually had writing credits on every song, including one song where he wrote the entire thing (wikipedia it) At first i was like pretty much everybody that wasn't a 13 year old girl, and was skeptic and didn't take the time to listen to his music or study up on him, I mean i heard "One time" and got a glimpse of "baby" but i never really thought much of him, that was until i saw THIS on funny or die, he said BITCH, LMAO, this kid is 16 and is a tween sensation and said bitch in a video that would be seen by millions, how can you not give him some love for that?? To be honest though, I really look at Bieber to be somebody to bring back R&B because it has definitely been falling, props to Trey Songz for keeping it alive these past couple months, but Ushers new stuff hasn't blown me away despite little freak being a solid collabo. The kid has chops and its undeniable once you listen to more of his stuff, i don't even have his cd but i can see it. Aside from that though, I mean if you didn't know there was a bidding war to get him between Usher and Justin Timberlake that Usher won, and DRAKE!!!!! actually showed up to his Baby video shoot to show love when i'm sure he had a bazillion things he could have done instead and only got like 5 secs of camera time. Bieber also got to open the new "We are the World" 25 song, which is major shine considering others on the song. I really hope he doesn't fade away like a lot of these young R&B stars though, him being white (no racist) will definitely help a little but isn't full proof, and he has to really grow with his music as he gets older and has a new voice for him to be successful. All in all though, what can you say, in the words of a good friend of mine, "Haters gonna hate" so when it comes to this kid, people are going to hate, but I won't be one of them. And no I'm not gay for listening to R&B/Pop, I'm gay for Justin Bieber *gay sigh*
NO HOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



UPDATE: He also plays guitar and the drums, check out his youtube page http://www.youtube.com/user/kidrauhl

Consequence "Whatever U Want (G.O.O.D. Music Remix) ft Kanye West, Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi & Big Sean



Listen Here
This joint is kinda Hot, in my opinion there is no other label really fucking with GOOD music, Young money is nice but other than Wayne and Drake, theres nobody else thats really good, they would be in the 90s in madden but everybody else would be in the 60s or lower probably, while kanye would be in the 90s with common and john legend, then theres cudi whos in the 80s, big sean is coming and could crack the 80s, probably 70s right now, then the rest are in the 70s or lower

3 Birdman tracks


4 my town (play ball) ft Drake and Lil Wayne
Looks like this isn't gonna be Souljaboy's song like i thought it was from that leaked version before, Birdman is smart by havin drake or Lil wayne on like every song he puts out because its an accepted fact that he sucks, but this is kinda hot, drake does his thing, the hook is kinda weird because i thought it was part of his verse, but wayne is aight on it too, doesn't seem like hes trying too hard though

I want it all ft Kevin Rudoff and Lil wayne
this is aight, nothing spectacular, i feel like all kevin rudoff songs sound the same lol

Mo Milly ft Drake and Bun B
Heard a different version of this, drake kills his verse, bun b is very consistent with his verse, when you put him on a track, you know what your gonna get, i like him on the track too

Beyonce ft Lady Gaga video phone remix



BEYONCE IS CRAZY SEXY IN THIS SHIT!!!! this might be the hardest sex sells ploy beyonce has ever done and i love it, the choreographed dance they do together is kinda cool, beyonce makes lady gaga look really ugly
