Massive Attack

So I just peeped Nicki "Fine Ass" Minaj's video for the first single off her yet to be titled album called "Massive Attack" which was directed by Hype Williams. Though I'm a fan of Ms Minaj (her skills and her looks) I gotta say the song and the video left more to be desired. The song by itself is pretty catchy I won't lie but I'm not sure it'll be a big hit because it's not the kind of song you can listen to over and over again. I'm sure it'll kill in the clubs though. As far as the video, I think this is like the first video in a while by Hype Williams that I haven't though that much of. It kinda looked like a watered down version of the video for "Hard" by Rihanna and just wasn't edgy or original enough to pack a punch. One thing I will say though is that Nicki looked BOMB in the video. I definitely did a few rewinds when she was showin off her "assets" lol. She's definitely from the school of Lil Kim because her look and the way she was dancing in the video are pages right out of her book. But I digress, overall I was a little disappointed by Ms Minaj's first outting but there's always room for improvement. I still anxiously await her debut album. You all know the deal, peep the video and tell me your thoughts. Rock on from Krypton

Goodbye Shawn...

So I'm a big wrestling fan (yea i know about 85% of it is scripted lol) and last night was Wrestlemania which if u don't know is like wrestling's Super Bowl, and at this massive event one match stood out more than every other match that night. Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker. The reason this was such a huge match was because The Undertaker has been undefeated at Wrestlemania for 17 (now 18 years) and has yet to find anyone who could beat his streak and Shawn Michaels faced him last year and came EXTREMELY close to doing just that. So this year they had a rematch but this time if Shawn lost he would have to retire from wrestling which was something I REALLY didn't want to happen. So I was with some of my friends and we witnessed possibly the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time that night. Both men beat the HELL out of each other to the point that neither one of em could get up for a little bit after the match. Unfortunately Shawn lost again this year and was forced to keep his word and retire. Every one in the room where I was at was stuck in silence as we watch Shawn Michaels take his final walk up the ramp with 72,000+ people chanting his name. It was definitely an emotional moment for sure and for anyone who saw it I'm sure you know what I mean. So goodbye Shawn, you had one HELL of a career and put up the best fight that I've seen in a long time. We're gonna miss you. Till next time, Rock on from Krypton

Forever (Youtube Remix)

Now usually I'm not really into internet rappers and their remixes of popular songs but this is an exception. Some of the most popular stars on youtube joined together to make a sick remix to the smash Forever. Everyone came hard on the record but the verses that really stood out to me were Dumbfounded, D-Pryde and Traphik. Dumbfounded's flow was really wat stood out in his verse as he rode the beat almost flawlessly. D-Pryde (who I'm guessing woulda been Eminem in this case) showed a lot of passion and aggression in his verse addressing a lot of comments about him being an asian rapper. And last but certainly not least Traphik dropped possibly the dopest verse he's ever spit, a lot of dope refrences and clever choice of wording in his verse. Apparently his verse went over a lot of people's heads but I definitely appreciated his references and found myself smiling at his verse. I'm sure that everyone will find at least one thing about this video that they like and I look forward to hearing some of the feedback. Till next time ladies n gents, Rock on from Krypton.

See me in the streets son!

So I had a conversation with my grandmother today about fighting/violence and things of the sort and we both were at a loss as to why people enjoyed it. Me personally I don't like violence and even when I'm pissed off I'd rather talk it out or just walk away from the situation instead of hitting someone in the face. I've some fights in person and watched even more on youtube, not because I like it, but because I'm just amazed at the spectacle. It's ridiculous and even more scary to see how people act when a fight breaks out. Almost reminds me of the Gladiator Colosseum in the days of the old. Watching two people beat on each other for sometimes as long as 5+ minutes will constantly egging them on and sometimes jumping in. And what's even more sad is people would join the fight before they would try and stop it from happening. It's like people aren't fully aware that there are two people in there practically beating each other to death, or maybe they are completely aware of that and just don't care which is even worse. Coming from experience being involved in a fight is a scary feeling because it's pretty much you trying to survive and on top of that people barely fight fair anymore so then fights nowadays truly do become a matter of life and death. I think the aftermath of a fight bothers me more than the fight itself at times. Just the scene of disturbing to me. Blood everywhere, sometimes teeth, someone struggling to stand up or not getting up at all. I think it may be because I'm a very visual person but that's an image that always sticks with me. Things like Boxing, Martial Arts and other fights done for sport don't really bother me because these people are trained to do this, there are strict rules involved and if someone's in true danger (except for accidents) then the fight will be stopped. Sadly this doesn't apply to the outside world and that's always gonna bother me because I don't see that ever changing as long as I'm on this earth smh. I think we'd all be better off with a little bit more love in this world. I'm gonna stop rambling on now so I'll just leave yall with a little message that Lupe's been giving lately at all his concerts, "Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile". I wish all of yall the best and be safe out there ppl. Rock on from Krypton

Shut It Down

So not a whole lot is goin on in my life right now but you know I ALWAYS have time to post some music or videos I'm into and this is no different. Up top is the latest leak off of Drake's album Thank Me Later called "Shut It Down" feat The Dream. This song serves as a stark contrast to his first single "Over" as this song is pure R&B. Much like most of the tracks on So Far Gone, this song features some simple and mellow production with Drake and Dream crooning about a girl who can "shut it down" with everything she does. I think this song is more geared toward romance than Drake's other female geared hit "Best I Ever Had" and I'm sure ladies will eat it up for that reason. Definitely another solid leak from Drake's debut album which I anticipate more and more with each leak or bit of news. Check it out and tell me what you think of it. Rock on from Krypton

R.I.P. Nujabes

I woke up this morning to some saddening news. Well respected but criminally unknown Japanese producer Nujabes (Jun Seba) died recently in a fatal car accident. I haven't really been able to find out when exactly he did die but it has been confirmed that he has passed on from this Earthly realm. Sadly to many this won't mean much but to those who were fans of his and followed his music this is a crucial blow to the music world. In my view he has crafted some of the best musical masterpieces of all time. Sampling old bossa nova and funk music as well as composing his own original pieces, his music was always very organic, calming and ethereal in nature. Having worked with rappers such as Substantial, Shing02, CL Smooth and even Pete Rock, he probably got most of his American exposure for composing the musical backdrop for the popular anime Samurai Champloo which fused feudal samurai action with hip-hop/jazz music. Many a time have i found myself feeling shitty or just in need of some relaxation and I just lost myself in his music. It's a damn shame that not that many people know of him nor will they care that he has passed on but speaking for all his fans, Rest in Peace Jun, you will be greatly missed by those who knew your work. My heart and prayers go out to his family and those close to him. Yet another great has been accepted in the massive dance party in heaven. Up above are some of my favorite songs by Nujabes and I encourage you all to look into more of his work, i promise you will not be disappointed. Rock on from Krypton

Silvia

This is the most recent video from one of my favorite bands right now, Miike Snow. This video is for they're most recent single "Silvia", which just so happens to also be one of my favorite songs of theirs', so I was pretty excited to see what they'd do with the video. The moment the video starts you get the feeling that something has happened to the planet because the members of the band are just laying in the middle of the barren road. The whole video follows the 3 members of the band as the make their way towards some sort of bonfire (not exactly sure what the significance of it was though). Though the message of the video isn't very clear, I do love the feel and look of the video. It reminds me of a cross between The Book of Eli, Defiance and a little bit of Twilight because of the heavy forest scenery. I really like a lot of the shots they got of the band members just walking too. I'm a sucker for dope cinematic shots. But anyways, give the video a look and lemme know what you're thoughts on it are. Till next post, Rock on from Krypton!

Pursuit Of Happiness Version Duece

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this version of the video. Albeit that it fits the mood of the song a little better than the first video, it was a tad bit confusing especially when he kept landing back on the couch. It's not a bad video at all though, I actually quite liked both incarnations of the song for different reasons. I do like how the video seems like a big dream or drug trip and I also like that they actually featured Ratatat in the video this time. Cudi has always seemed like more of an alternative artist who just happens to rap more than an emcee and this video just continues to showcase that. Even though I loved Cudi's debut album I gotta say that I'm pretty disappointed in the singles that he decided to put out. I really would've liked to see Sky Might Fall, Solo Dolo and Heart of A Lion in video form but I guess I'll just have to continue to make up videos for the songs in my head seeing as how he's already pretty far in on his next album. As always I'd love to hear you all's thoughts on the video so just drop some feedback. Till next post, Rock on from Krypton

P.S. Did anyone see Freaknik: The Musical? That shit was hilarious lol. I hope they release a soundtrack for it because the songs that they did for the movie were too good to not put out. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and look it up.

21 Years on this Earth

"I really too young to be feeling this old" -Drake-

So as of today I've officially reach the infamous milestone in life that is 21 and I must say it feels weird to be saying that seeing as sometimes I still feel 18 lol. At this point in the eyes of the public I am OFFICIALLY an adult and I'm pretty much able to do almost anything including get into some dumb shit and go to big time jail lol. When I think about being on this earth for 21 years I can't help but be eternal grateful to God, my family and friends who have stayed with me for all these years and pretty much made it so that I could make it here. Many people in this world don't even make it close to this age because their life is stolen from them by some unfortunate and random occurrence so I will continue to live each day as it comes to me and be thankful for seeing the sun coming in to my retinas because it means that I made it to another day. So you're probably wondering what I'm gonna do with my birthday huh? I know that it's almost tradition to go out and get wasted at a bar or a club but personally that's not really my thing plus I'd like to remember my birthday and not through pictures on facebook of me dry humping the ground. Today I'm going out with a bunch of my closest guy friends and we're gonna hit up Hooters and then just chill, pop a few bottles and just talk about our lives up to this point. Tomorrow I'm heading out to Arundel Mills (a big mall in Maryland for those not from here) with a big group of my friends, gonna catch a movie and then go to Dave n Busters. It's not gonna be an extravagant weekend but it will sure as hell be fun! If I'm feeling up to it i'll post a few pix from the weekend up on the blog but most of em you'll be able to find on facebook (Marcus SoloDolo Fiasco). Don't really have much else to say not so I'll just leave yall with Drake's new single (which also happened to drop on my birthday =D) that I've been listening to all morning (it's also where I got that quote).

Don't Call It A Comeback

This is what you call a comeback video! The guys behind the Gorillaz really went all out for this video! The video is pretty much a mini action movie which sees 2-D, Murdoc and Noodle (who appears to be a robot now o_O) running away from a lone cop and Bruce Willis (who seems to be a bounty hunter or someone who has some sort of history with them). Any one who's seen videos from the Gorillaz know that they are known for their animated monikers so when i saw their new CG bodies i was slightly freaked out, but once i got used to it i think it'll make for some interesting videos from now on. The ending of video leads you to think that there's much more to this story and I for one can't wait to see the next chapter in the Plastic Beach story. Peep the video and tell me watcha think! Till next time, Rock on from Krypton
