Isn't it just great that we can communicate the next new thing on the music scene, via a simple tweet containing a YouTube recommendation? Or a direct link to an artist's direct Soundcloud page before their no longer a free agent.
Many artists, thanks to the belief of the many supporters who pro-actively promote via social media platforms, have gained record deals etc... That's social media at its priceless best. But has the eagerness to share musical experiences become something of a hindrance to the enjoyment of gigs or festivals?
Have you fallen into the unfortunate position of someone who just so happens to have got the best seat in the house, just to enjoy the performance through the lens of their smartphone? Are many festival goers now becoming uncool versions of Daft Punk’s robot image, just to be first at broadcasting and sharing information for likes and RTs?
It ponders the question, what would Ron Burgundy do? Will the anticipation and eagerness of wanting to buy tickets and experience the feeling of music live start to decrease? Some festivals like Coachella embrace new media, and provide a stream for the fans of performers around the world to enjoy. Which is the cool way to share, but are you one of Darth Vader’s storm troopers? It’s not too late to solve this trend, and then become a super cool Jedi.
SHOWTIME!!!! Shystie went to the booth to get her point across #NoTwitter. This will replace the track Control It which featured Miss Banks originally. Pre-order Pink Mist
So the 2013 era is here. World still spinning, sun still shining, Ri Ri still getting caught naked and we still waiting for Dizzee and Wiley to collaborate. So here is my wish list of what I want to see in 2013 (Politicians can sort out the world themselves)
ROC-A-FELLA - THE OFFICIAL REUNION:
The Roc army was my vibe. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Memphis Bleek, Freeway, Peedi Crakk, Young Gunz. And of course the broad street bully aka Beans was a damn wild animal on the mic, don't believe me check out this early freestyle on the classic N.O.R.E "Banned From TV"
So I want a FULL reunion to bring that 2000 era back. Rap needs their skills, Hip Hop needs that vibe back. Add The Diplomats, Dame and Biggs to that and let's get this ish crackin.
BOY BETTER KNOW - BOY BETTER KNOW ALBUM:
So when grime representers JME, Skepta, Shorty, Wiley, Frisco, Jammer, Solo 45 and DJ Maximum combine. They become the grime collective Boy Better Know. 2009 they gave us the classic Too Many Man and also Going In and were promised a Boy Better Know album. It's now 2013 and given all these guys have their own solo fan base it's time we get the Boy Better Know album. Let's go guys
UK RAP : NEED MORE ALBUMS
UK rap is in the healthiest place it's ever been right now. But we still need albums to be dropping from the likes of S.A.S., Giggs etc.. to continue getting the scene more love. So hopefully 2013 brings albums from all these guys.
WATCH THE THRONE - PART DEUX:
We WANT another album - that is all!!
50 CENT - 2013 HEAT:
Fif has been releasing mix tapes frequently and dropping random singles too. Time has come for Fif to drop a hot album. Life has changed for Fif since Get Rich Or Die Tryin' but that don't mean he hasn't got another hot album in the tank. New Day was actual a hot single, My Life w/ Eminem and Adam Levine and Major Distribution w/ Snoop Dogg and Jeezy are cool. So hopefully Immortal King is one of the albums we remember 2013 for.
T-PAIN - THE RETURN:
RI RI - STAY CLASSY BABY:
I'm a huge fan of Robin Thicke, and I once got to meet him courtesy of my homie Westwood. Now Robin Thicke is a smooth mutherfucker! He ain't got swag cause he's a debonair. So during the Robin interview he dropped one of the realist lines I've heard. "I like a woman who treats her body like a gift, when she dresses she shows just enough to a man. But keeps the element if surprise alive but not showing everything in what she wears." At the time I thought that's so slick shit, but no I understand. On to my girl Ri-Ri, she sexy bossy chick. But come on cupcake, pictures of you naked come out like every week. Seeing you naked is like seeing traffic lights, see them all he time. So keep dropping hot records and staying classy.
NIKE BLAZERS - STOP IT FIRE:
Leave them in 2012 please
FACEBOOK - STATUS UPDATES:
"I'm going to the shop to get some drinks", "Just chilling watching TV", "After all the times I cooked him homemade dinners he cheats on me" "I love my kids" (Is it meant to be any other way??!) "Going Nandos with the man dem" Aye please stop with the facebook statuses that NO ONE CARES ABOUT.
TWITTER - BEEFS/DELETING TWEETS:
Changes need to happen on Twitter. Beefing on Twitter is like arguing with someone via sign language makes no sense. When artists especially beef over Twitter, you know their either bored or using the argument to help promote something they got. Plus posting a tweet then deleting it when the heat is on just makes you look like you don't believe in what you feel + makes you look like a p****.
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN - ONE MORE ASS WHOPPIN:
CM Punk don't want it with the baddest son of a bitch in the history of WWF (I'm old school)!!
CRISTIANO RONALDO - COME HOME:
Old Trafford awaits your return for good.......
NBA - 2013 CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS IS.........
FIFTY SHADES OF LEAVE IT:
I don't mean reading book, but too many fine women are reading this excuse of a book. Ladies lets get one thing straight, in the real world there is a man that can give you REAL love and REAL D!! Stop reading and fascinating about some make believe guy. Your better off fighting Barbie for Ken, at least you can hold the guy in your hand and dress him how you want.
Part of life is you date and you may or may not end up in a relationship with that person for many reasons. Normal reasons - Timing, Personality Clashes, Lifestyle or maybe one person in the couple can't cook?! Now the latest internet talk is Rob Kardashian tweets that Rita Ora slept with 20 guys while dating him. In this wonderful world we live in there always is two sides to every story.
What I have a problem is:
1. WHY WHY WHY air your business on Twitter, would you have aired this shit on your Facebook status? (Some people use their status as therapy). I bet you felt to ashamed to call your boys and share the "alleged" news but can tweet it to 5 million + followers.....makes sense
Here is Rob's tweets below:
2. If you decide to air your business on Twitter and the person your talking about is on Twitter to, hey why not @ them in all the Tweets? Rob "IF" it's true then i feel for you, and your pride must be hurting which would only make you more a man if you admitted that. But don't delete your tweets man, that makes you go from a man to a mouse in seconds. "IF" the tweets are true about Rita, then Rob you need to look long and hard into the mirror. DAMN!! 20 JHEEZE! I do feel for you dude. Let's see what Miss Ora has to say....The Saga Continues #NoPuffy
You see May you see Fif, you see Fif you see May. Boxing had a new team taking over.
The Mayweather 24/7 episodes were hilarious with these two, magazine covers the lot
I mean he even telling bowling players to buy 50 headphones:
joking about in the gym:
Fast forward Floyd goes to jail and cracks start to show in the team.
But you never link up with the team rivals do you?
50 talks teamin up with Manny Pacquiao:
NOW THIS!!
Ross is now rocking with Mayweather, rewind and you'll remember Fif taking Ross baby mother and son to Floyd's home. Manny rocking with Fif................Something in the water man.
Is The Money Team over like the Harry Potter series??
