[CARDI B & OFFSET] WHAT WE DON’T SEE

The Migo’s rapper Offset and Cardi B have a rather publicized relationship since they are some of the most talked about couples in rap right now. They have an adorable love story that started because Offset was enthralled with her. Now that they have been dating for a while, they have had some bumps in the road that has all been noted and scrutinized by the public.

Cardi B is the cover star of Cosmopolitan’s April 2018 cover and she talks insight information about her relationship with him. She described the details for us, and she dodged the rumors of infidelity that have been on headlines for the past few months.

She said rather confidently:

“I know I could get any man I want—any basketball player, football player, but I want to work out my shit with my man, and I don’t got to explain why. I’m not your property. This is my life… I’m going to take my time, and I’m going to decide on my decision…”

It is true that Cardi could probably get anyone she wanted but she is sticking with Offset because she is willing to put in the effort to make it work, which is a sign of true love. Or stupidity. I don’t know, I think it is dumb to stick with someone who cheated on you because it makes you look bad. If she is willing to put up with that, he will probably do it again.

But she did say something rather hilarious in the interview when she said that the whole story has not been told:

“It’s not right, what he fucking did — but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel.”

I could imagine Cardi screaming at him or possibly keying all his cars. I would not want to get on Cardi B’s bad side, but if the fight is worth it, we should let them be. It is hard being in a publicized relationship, but Cardi seems to be handling it well. All this new found fame is not going to change who she is: a crazy bitch who takes no shit.

DIDDY SPEAKS UP ABOUT NEW RAPPERS OF TODAY

Diddy has recently expressed his opinion regarding today’s Hip Hop and the new artists that have come to the rise. He explains that there might be “too many” rappers and that he is worried the Hip Hop culture might become “diluted”.

“So many people rapping right now,” Diddy said. “It is literally like too much. It’s a lot to take in every day. Everybody saying the same shit in different ways. These are just my opinions. I’m not knocking nobody’s dream. I just don’t want the culture to get diluted, you know? Where it gets so mass produced it doesn’t mean anything.”

Diddy also gave some advice and suggested new artists must be extraordinary so that they stand out in an industry where everyone sounds so similar.

“Artists have to be special,” he said. “Every artist has to be unique in their own right. I’m just trying to say I guess if you gonna be in this game, be great because you can also be part of the noise.”

This makes us wonder if Diddy was also pertaining to the music of his youngest son who is beginning to thrive as a new rap artist. No pressure Christian Combs!

G HERBO’S “EVERYTHING” IS EVERYTHING

The next hit song on the Billboard charts is G Herbo’s “Everything” featuring Lil Uzi Vert & Chance The Rapper. On February 16th, G Herbo released a deluxe edition of his album Humble Beast including the new remix to his song.

Listen to the track here:

Herbo said that Chance contacted him that he loved the track, and who wouldn’t? It is a perfectly paced song that is the embodiment of “swag”.

Herbo said happily:

“[Chance] just Hit me out of the blue, like ‘Don’t shoot the video to EVERYTHING w/o me bro… I’m like shit, better yet, you might as well just go crazy on it. And That’s what he did. Real shit, it’s always been love between me and Chance, since we both started we always supported each other. His ass is really like the unofficial mayor here Lbs.”

The best part of this song is that Chance the Rapper seems to get grimier on these lyrics. Instead of his usual gospel rap, he seems to be more hip-hop on this track. Unfortunately, his verse is short and near the end but it still adds a lot to the song.

Lil Uzi Vert kills his verse with a great contribution that almost overshadows G Herbo. Lil Uzi Vert is always known for being a beast in his tracks and he certainly proves his talent.

Lil Uzi Vert raps,

“Yuh, everything
My new whip, that bitch, it came with everything
I’ma turn that boy into a heavy stain
Whipping up that dope, yeah, that’s that heavy cream
I been fucking on your bitch since I was 17
Even though my Glock hold 30, this a 17
Chop it up, whole thing from the Medellín
My old gun, that shit was dirty but I kept it clean
Mask off, remember me
Extra button on the back cause my uzi a lemon squeeze
Gucci, Louis, Fendi, Prada, swag swag swag, that’s my disease
Fuck her once, I gotta leave, smoking dope, I’m Japanese
Fucked her in the master suite, I ball like an athlete”

Do you like or do you love this remix? Hopefully, we can get more great collaborations throughout the year. Everything is truly everything.

DO YOU MISS AMY WINEHOUSE? LISTEN TO THIS UNRELEASED DEMO

The music world mourns Amy Winehouse. Since her death in 2011, fans have been upset that we will never hear new music from her again. She was one of my favorite artists and I usually spend a lot of my time listening to her old music. When demos get resurfaced it is always a great surprise that reminds us of the influence she had.

The demo “My Own Way” was reportedly recorded in composer and musician Gil Cang’s studio in 2001.

In 2015, it was announced that at least 14 unreleased demos were destroyed when she died. They decided not to release it because Winehouse couldn’t sign off on it.

David Joseph, then chairman/CEO of Universal Music U.K decided on February 25th, 2018 to finally release a demo for her fans and with or without her consent. 

He stated,

“I’ve had it knocking about for so long. I found it again last week and thought – I’ll put it out there so people could hear it.”

Listen to it here:

I think the highlight of this song is the opening as she sings:

“I’ve never been in love before, such a foolish thing to me, seems to me the price is high, so I’ll keep my own company, and I’ll do what I want when I feel.”

Then the track breaks out into the chorus for the most of the song. It is a chill track that you should listen to with candles lit. Even though Winehouse didn’t sign off on the release, I feel like she would be proud of it.

Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse.
Your music has left its mark on this world.

[NEW VIDEO] PORTER ROBINSON “VIRTUAL SELF”

Porter Robinson has been claimed to be, “EDM’s sensitive boy genius.” He has been at the forefront of the world of dance music by putting a twist on traditional EDM.  Short after his debut, he made appearances in top-billed slots on festivals including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Creamfields and Lollapalooza.

He is best known for his song, “Sad Machine.”

Do yourself a favor and listen to it here:

Robinson has claimed to have a bit of writer’s block, so to inspire him again he began working on a project called “virtual self.” The Virtual Self EP dropped in November 2017 and drew inspiration from the ’90s and early 2000s trance. His vision was “rave nostalgia — one that’s viewed through the virtual lens of the internet and video game.”

He states:

“Virtual Self was me trying to paint a picture of a very foggy, distorted memory that I had of electronic music on the internet. That blurry memory is really mysterious, and that’s what I liked about it.”

He just released the video on February 28th, entitled, “Virtual Self – Ghost Voices.”

You can view it here:

Upon first viewing, it is incredible that Porter Robinson was able to create this as a result of a creative block. It really does take you into a different reality where one feels like they are back in a chat room. The vision is perfectly executed and draws up feelings of being otherworldly. Porter Robinson is always taking EMD and putting another spin on it and I think this is really different from what he has done in the past, but it also works so well. He has expanded his taste and being one of the top dance music inventors right now, he is bound to influence other artists. I can’t wait to see more of his vision in the future.
