Lykke Li x Rick Ross

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on January 21st, 2009 by Hyphen

Hmm…not sure how I feel about this.  On one hand, Lykke Li is the ish and I love this chick.  On the other hand, I hate the whole “haha let’s have white people do something hip-hop and let’s all laugh” schtick.  I mean, we’ve seen her do covers of A Tribe Called Quest before, and those were dope, but I don’t think I needed to see her and Bjorn from Peter, Bjorn, and John remake Ricky Rawwwwwwss.  Yeah…I’m good (I’m gone).

Seattle people: Lykke will be back in town at the Showbox in February.  I’ll see y’all there.

Wack Lyric of the Day, 7-23-08

Posted in Artists, Wack Lyric of the Day on July 23rd, 2008 by Hyphen

Ricky Rawwws

(LOL @ this picture getting watermarked twice.  shameless.)

WLotD was on hiatus for a minute, but it’s back with a vengeance today.  After all this Rick Ross f**kery that’s been all over the net the past week, today’s wack lyric is simply:

Every overexaggerated, faux gangster related word Rick Ross ever spit.

I’ve seen a lot of people wonder why anyone cares about this story, since we all know rappers lie virtually every time they open up their mouths.  Well, the wack ones do.  The thing is, you’d be surprised how many people don’t realize this, especially kids.  Anyone who happened to be at a certain concert in the NW this past weekend can probably attest to that.  So yeah…all of us messageboard/blog geeks never thought Rawwwws knew “the real Noriega,” but a frighteningly large size of the rap audience did.  You can thank our piss poor educational system for that.

A word of advice for the next generation: if you want to lie in your music, you may not want to take it to such extremes.  Of course, if you lie in your art, you’re losing from the jump.  Honest expression is key, take it from Bruce:

“It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky.  But to express one’s self honestly…that, my friend, is very hard to do.”

Demand yourself to be better.
