Personally, i think that Kanye is gonna beat the shit out of 50's album. He's more innovative, and I mean, Daft Punk. The dude sampled DAFT PUNK. And what awesomeness has 50 Cent sampled? I'm pretty sure none, and if he has...then Kanye's totally reigns over it with his cool stuff.
So, September 11, they both drop. Kanye's Graduation and 50 Cent's Curtis. The battle begins.....
Well, either way. It's gonna be a big day for hip hop. Which seemed to be slowly, painfully, unwillingly...dying. But maybe as it took it's last breath, it realized it had something to live for. A renewed hope. I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but if we can get out of this rut in which songs like Ay Bay Bay and Crank Dat are popular, then maybe, just maybe I'll change my mind.
All i know for now though, is that I am SERIOUSLY loving Kanye West's cover art (above right).
Also. Rilo Kiley's new album is up and streaming on their Myspace. I haven't finished listening to it yet, but so far it's interesting. Really far from their other stuff, especially The Moneymaker. That song is just...interesting. Not sure if i really like it or not. We'll see.
On another, more pathetic note, I watched High School Musical Two. And i can honestly say that it was not great. I had been really excited, for reasons beyond my own knowledge (*cough* Zac Efron*cough* Rolling Stone Cover *cough*) but it was dissapointing. There were a few good songs, well, OK songs. And the acting was far from amazing. And, this made me laugh, Zac Efron sort of seemed like...today's version of John Travolta circa his Grease days. Just the whole musical thing and the singing and dancing...and being supposedly hot (supposedly being the key word in John Travolta's case. Hot, in Zac's. Hehe) But also in this one scene he had on all black and it was TOTALLY reminiscent of Grease. And i kept having flashes of the Summer Nights sequence in my head.....It was odd. But yeah. I don't think I'll be watching HSM 2 more than say....three times? Max. Seriously, it's sad, but the only reason i was even watching really was because of Efron.
Did you know that 1 in 3 teenage girls in America have a poster of him? That's kind of sick...but at the same time, I can understand why....Just look:
It's kind of small. But you get the idea.
Ugh. I reluctantly sort of like the Jonas Brothers' music.....They're really not that bad. It's unfortunate that they've got some thing going on with Disney. It lowers their appeal majorly.
It's similar with Paramore. Ever since MTV swooped down and started putting their faces up on screens in times square and showing them playing acoustic versions of Misery Business during The Hills' credits - It really happened, no joke - I've been sort of like....'ew'. I want them to do well. But i hate how MTV turns stuff into gross commercialized stuff. I mean, kids from my old school who act like rock is something t avoid completely, have Misery Business on their Myspaces....Ugh it's so......not cool. I have no way to describe it. Whatever though. If they like it. they like it....nothing i can do.
Alrighty, enough whining about the media and popularity, I'm gonna hit le sack.
ciao, Aria
