So recently I have been following M.I.A. and her crew. I'm sure you've all heard that she's been working with Baltimore's own Blaqstar and with his pro toge RYE-RYE (if you wanna know more about her Google), but enough about them, I'm stuck on Santogold! She's a new artist who has been doing her thing in the music business for some time now. She has been recognized by Rolling Stone as an "artist to watch" for her quirky beats mixed with reggae, hip hop, and techno and her "bizzare approach to lyrics". Santogold, born Santi White has a degree and all that jazz, but still has this youthful swag about her--talk about a role model. Her new single Creator/Les Artistes is popular with music heads everywhere and is perfect for those indie-dont-give-a-damn-hipsters who just love to make "ART". She has toured with M.I.A and even opened for Bjork and has still maintained her own unique sound (she is DIFFERENT than M.I.A)! Her debut album, "I Believe In Santogold" is sure to be hot shit. This Brooklyn girl is on the rise, and we mos def. love her over here.
I would just like to say that I am not deep enough and can clearly not solve the problems facing today's world because I do not understand Kanye's hot ass video, but all you have to do is READ THE LYRICS. I have been reading blog after blog, comment after comment, getting the sweet low down on the deepest shit since Jesus wrote the Bible. Take this comment for example, that I read off of popwatch blog on EW.com:
swagalicous (adj)-(a.) pertaining to a male or female whose "swag" is so completely overdone and foolish (b.) describing someone who is obsessed with themselves and their "swag" (c.) a word used to personify those who constantly talk about themselves, their "janks", and "how sweet they are"...synonymns are "fool", "hoar" (baltimore edition), "joke", "VCU", "the commons" and "freshman" (lol sorry it I just had to do it, no hard feelings? Haha)
In a Sentence- These "swagsters" who posess unbeliveable amounts of "swag" are very "swagalicious".
Vote Obama 08' to STOP THE SWAG
Kanye West Flashing Lights video...hmmmm..mmmmm...well I don't know how long this wretched piece of nothingness has been out, but i absolutely hate it. It doesn't go with the song and it's pretty gruesome, I was so creeped out. I mean I felt that Kanye was just trying to be deep for no reason. Maybe it will be like a series of videos, like R.Kelly's "Trapped In The Closet", or maybe he's trying to make a movie, or maybe he's been smoking crack with Lil' Wayne (excuse me snorting COKE with Lil' Wayne)...the world will never know. Just watch this shit and if you like it cool, but if you don't you'll be left with a reaction of "wtf". In the words of Clive Grant, "He's goin' crazy, geniouses always do". It's like an artist who doesn't have any art left so they just do some crazy shit like run the New York Marathon with a mowhawk or make endless reality TV shows about making bands and making the contestants walk across all the burroughs to get him cheesecake, yaknowatimsayin? On the other hand maybe it was too artsy for me to understand, but I doubt it, we're pretty deep over here...and if I have a revelation in mid-sleep, I'll just change my opinion-this isn't written in stone, only on the computer lol. I guess Lupe is our only hope, and he was number 1 on 106 & Park today, and we all know what that potentially does to peoeple. In conclusion, don't kill yourself in a video unless your retiring and plan on ressurecting, kinda like Hov, or if your predicting your own death like Biggie...that's always interesting, but you really have to die after that and I don't think that should be in Kanye's life plan...anyways watch this ish and leave me ur thoughts...
