[BIG SEAN & JHENE AIKO] IS THIS THE END TO OUR FAVORITE ROMANCE?
It seems that another admired Hollywood couple has called it a quits and thousands of fans around the world are outraged! Rapper Big Sean and his girlfriend (or former girlfriend) Jhene Aiko have displayed what seems to be a bit of a messy breakup with former Pussy Cat Doll Nicole Scherzinger in the middle of it all!
Reports say Sean got a “little too close” to Nicole at a party following the Oscars. Apparently the two were together all night, hugging and flirting openly.
“They both attended and Oscar Awards after-party together and were cozied up together sitting at a table on VIP”, a source says. “They looked like they were a couple”.
Reportedly there were no cameras at this particular event but of course word got back to Jhene and of course, she was HOT! The source says that she then confronted Sean about it and that he didn’t deny it!
Since then, Jhene has unfollowed Sean on Instagram. As you should sis!
LIL UZI VERT MISSED A PERFORMANCE?
According to sources, Lil Uzi had a one hour set scheduled from 8:00 – 9:00 pm, but according to promoters, Uzi never left Philadelphia.
Instead of the performance there was a projected announcement on the screen that read he, “decided not to come at the last minute” and the stage crew got pretty petty by writing that there is no reason at all why.
This is what the screen fully said:
I think this is pretty hilarious actually. The stage crew was certainly as pissed off as the crowd, as they should be.
If you are an artist and you have a performance it is your job to perform for your fans. People bought tickets to see him, and it must of been a severe let down. Hopefully he isn’t getting too cocky and releases a clear explanation why he couldn’t make it. And if he was just chilling, he should make up a lie that justifies the skipped performance.
Instead of the lyrics from his song, “You was right:”
“You was right, I was wrong
Ya, I should’ve never ever took her home”
It should be:
“You was right, I was wrong
Ya, I should’ve never bought tickets to see ya show”
I love you Lil Uzi Vert, but don’t let the fame get to your head.
SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES ACCUSE BRUNO MARS OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Cultural appropriation is defined as, the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture. This is a very open-ended definition that can be confused and misinterpreted. There have been a lot of instances of cultural appropriation in the music world recently that has lead to a lot of controversies around artists.
But a lot of people who accuse others of doing this, have a case of special snowflake syndrome. Everyone wants to come after artists on social media to start drama but behind their screens, they have no idea what they are talking about. Then people try to jump on the bandwagon to seem like they are a part of a cause that is bigger than them. I really hate this generation.
A week ago an activist accused Bruno Mars, of all people, of being a culture vulture profiting off of traditionally black music. Bruno Mars’ mother is Filipina and his father is Puerto Rican and Jewish but he has music that is funk, soul, R&B, reggae and hip-hop.
This girl who probably is so bored out of her mind that she has to find SOMETHING to fight about said this:

This girl has no life, who cares? I suggest you stop screaming on Twitter for views and start dealing with your actual problems that made you so angry for no reason.
Don’t worry a lot of people came to Bruno Mar’s defense:

Bruno Mars said in a February 2017 interview with Latina magazine:
Overall everyone is overly sensitive and probably mad that he took home almost all the Grammys this year. People should really get a hobby or something and stop coming for talented artists that use other cultures to inspire them.

[NEW RELEASE] LOGIC’S BOBBY TARANTINO II IS OVER REPETITIVE TRASH
Logic just released his new mixtape Bobby Tarantino II on March 9th, 2018. Since Logic was still riding the hype from his massive hit, “1-800-273-8255” I was certain that this mixtape was going to be the next step for Logic. I wanted him to really display his best features on this mixtape to show people that he is a lot more than “1-800-273-8255” which was a primarily pop sounding song.
Logic has had great music prior to that release, like my favorite song, “Nikki” off his first album Under Pressure.
Listen to “Nikki” here:
This is a perfect combination of rap, pop and portrays all his best qualities as a rapper. For Bobby Tarantino II was expecting that songs of this quality would be on the record to show his versatility to all his new fans.
But we didn’t get any of that.
Bobby Tarantino II was a complete letdown and here’s why:
When I sat down to listen to the album, I thought I was listening to the same track over and over again, but then I looked at my phone and realized that six tracks had gone by.
I would say the highlight on this album was, “Overnight” but after this song, each song has the same theme, which waters down this song.
Listen to “Overnight” here:
I am glad that he put out a music video for this song because I feel like it is one of the only ones that would do well commercially. I am not even sure why “44 More” was released before this song, because “44 More” is more of a prolonged freestyle that doesn’t really have a distinct chorus and is easily forgettable.
The second track off this album is, “Contra” which would be a good song if it wasn’t followed by “Overnight” which possesses the exact same theme as “Overnight.”
He raps in “Contra:”
“Yeah I was born at the bottom
Everything I’m given now (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Bitch, I’ve been blowin’ up
(Bitch, I’ve been blowin’ up!)
Everyone showin’ up, where was you in the beginnin’?
I know that they’re showin’ up
(Know that they’re showin’ up!)
Only come around and fuck with me when the boy winnin'”
We already know that he has been blowing up, didn’t he just say that it didn’t happen overnight?
The third song on the mixtape is entitled, “BoomTrap Protocol” and it is a forgettable track about driving around with your girlfriend and apparently that is a “do or die” situation. Honestly, the track sounds like a Post Malone track.
The fourth track is so bad.
In “Yuck” he raps,
“Can’t nothing stop me, I’m on a roll
Always on time ’cause my eyes is on my Rollie-olex
I don’t trust nobody, oh no (no, no, no!)
I don’t trust nobody, put my homies on the payroll
Fuck with me now or you’ll never know (never know!)
If you weren’t with me, in the beginning, you get no love
My name Bobby Tarantino (Tarantino!)
Logic ain’t here right now, leave a message if you want, hoe”
So basically he is still talking about how he is on a roll and how famous he is, which he has already talked about in two other tracks. Also, the voice mail recordings are sort of a rip off from Lil Dicky?
“Indica Badu” is a song about the beauty of smoking weed featuring the one and only Wiz Khalifa. I feel like Logic is trying to be controversial or something but there are SO MANY better songs about smoking to the point where this track that should have been trashed.
The lyrics go,
“While you break it, roll it, light it, use the fire, ignite it
I can’t get much higher—”
How creative.
On the next track “Midnight” he raps,
“Sold millions of records before the radio. Damn, it feel good to be the man.”
Did anyone on his record label tell him this was extremely repetitive? Other than that the second chorus does shine to save this song.
“Warm It Up” is boring and also repetitive and talks about how great of a rapper he is.
The ninth track, “Wizard of Oz” has to be the biggest creative rip off of the entire album. He completely rips off Travis Scott to the point where there might be a lawsuit.
Listen to the similarities here:
logic: is there any popular rapper left that i can completely copy?
logics manager: … travis scott?

This is completely ridiculous. I wanted to stop playing the entire album after I heard that. But the review must go on.
“State of Emergency” makes me so mad.
Logic raps,
“Ballin’ with my homies now
Everybody know me now
But they don’t really know me now
Yeah, this shit is real life
Haters talk shit, but deep down still wonder what it feel like”
Oh my god another song about being famous! My ears are bleeding.
Please let the last three tracks be better. Please.
“Wassup” is saved by Big Sean primarily being the sole rapper on this track.
On the second to last track, “Everyday” he raps:
“They say, “Logic, why you do that?” I don’t know, I don’t know
Yeah, they used to be like, “Who that?” I don’t know, I don’t know
Now they know my name wherever I go
Used to think that’s what I wanted, but now, just don’t know”
You guys already know what I’m going to say about this.
The album then ends with the overhyped and also repetitive “44 More” that shouldn’t have been promoted as a single.
Side note, I don’t get how “Rick and Morty” on the intro track has anything to do with Logic. “Rick and Morty” is an animated series that follows the exploits of a super scientist and his not-so-bright grandson, so I have no idea how that has to do with a rapper. It is just honestly confusing and comes off as cheap.
Not only is the album extremely repetitive, is rips off almost every popular rapper in the scene including Post Malone, Lil Dicky and Travis Scott. Every track is not entirely different from the other which makes it an extremely forgettable listen. I am a fan of Logic, which is why I am so disappointed with this mixtape. It was crazy to see him go from a moderately popular rapper to complete and utter stardom with “1-800-273-8255” and I wanted him to bring his best qualities to show his new fans his diverse set of skills. This album was supposed to be his time to shine but it doesn’t add ANYTHING to him as an artist. Well, he says that album Logic is different from mixtape Logic, but I just want to hear the Logic I know next time. Yeah, Logic you might be extremely famous now but that means you still have to put out quality work.
