since this year i have 3 songs.. i'm adding the runner ups this time from previous years also
2008: wired all wrong's "15 minutes" 2009: soulja boy's "swag-flu" georgia anne muldrow's "roses" 2010: charles hamilton's "cosmic library zone" 2011: melvin burch's "don't act like i didn't tell you" charles hamilton's "breakaway" 2012: kenny loggins "i'm free (heaven helps the man)" dave matthews band "when the world ends" dave matthews band "pay for what you get" backstory for my 3 songs of the year 2012: the kenny loggins song has amazing lyrics.. its almost like a theme song to life more than a mere song.. but still the song elements are all there.. this song has so many great elements to it.. when i listen to this song it makes me think kenny loggins could've been on a much higher level if he made more material like this.. this song kinda has everything at once.. its rock-ish, 80s synth-ish, groove-ish.. just has a lot of elements to it and each element works perfectly.. it reminds me of michael jackson.. listen to this and listen to something like beat it.. think about how each aspect works together to create a great and meaningful pop song with depth.. this song really made me understand the talent of kenny loggins.. listen to how he kinda blends genres in here.. i feel like he didn't do enough of this type of music.. he shines on these rhythmic pop songs.. all those ballads and folk songs seem like a waste compared to his 80s pop songs imo.. but this song remains incredible either way.. btw.. i'm really only talking about the music video version.. the album version is a little long for my taste.. so don't hesitate to peep this on youtube ++++++++ dmb's "when the world ends" is a song i like for the same reason i like soulja boy's "swag-flu" they both take something which is exceedingly negative or something that scares people and they make it funny or they make it seem cool.. both songs successfully take the sting out of fear whether it be warranted or not.. dmb has a certain swag on this song also.. they are relaxed and cool and confident.. the reggae influence is definitely a nice touch on this one as well.. just a great groove.. great feel.. and i like that it puts a different spin on a major source of worry ++++++++ dmb's "pay for what you get" is very loose.. a very free flowing kinda song that is almost vague.. but you know what he is saying even though the lyrics are kinda like.. almost fragmented or almost like the pain was too much to where he didn't want to go into detail.. it somewhat reminds me of nirvana.. not in the sound but just in the fact that the sound and inflections point to the meaning just as much or more than the lyrics do.. the sound and inflections say it all.. i definitely relate to this song.. "everybody asks me how she's doing" yet they are no longer together.. that coldness.. that emptiness.. that understanding that no one else understands.. dmb just nailed it here.. great job i encourage anyone who has read this far to check out my three 2012 songs of the year let me know what you think also! peaCe

discontentment and anger will be expressed in full detail
i just started today and these are the first two lines that came to me they certainly set the tone My sarcasm comes with a twist of hatred/ Cuz what is life but a big frustration?/ so lately i've been thinking about how i have this anger that doesn't really have an outlet
i think what i want to do is make an album that consists of nothing but anger i've been having these thoughts for about a month i keep gathering more and more ideas i want this album to range from basic irritation to complete rage i want it to be an extremely strong album.. i want it to make people who understand anger feel validated.. and not validated as in "i should go buy a shotgun and blast someone" but validated as in "i feel more comfortable knowing that someone else knows how i feel" i want people who are happy, content, and without anger to be completely alienated by the content i pretty much want all happy people to question everything they stand for when they hear this album i want the album to be a green light to people with anger.. not a green light like- "KILL!!!!" but merely a green light to know and feel those feelings.. anger is an emotion that is constantly pushed away i want to give people a chance to live in that, feel those feelings, see their anger reflected, understand that they are not crazy for feeling anger.. understand where their anger comes from .. understand that something somewhere has been wrong or unfair.. understand that you DONT HAVE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT EVERYTHING i see how people try to destroy anger.. look man.. my take is.. you have to have a way to get it out.. if you keep pressing it down then in a lot of ways it only gets worse.. have you ever heard of a thing called misdirected hostility? displaced anger? these exist because anger is always shunned and told to hide.. its never addressed and sympathized with have you ever seen a person repeatedly suppress their anger until they completely explode and do something drastic or even insane? that's what this album is meant to prevent i want people to wait before they throw that anger away.. before they sweep it under the rug i want them to study it.. sit with it, look at it, feel it, know it, know where it came from, know where it may take them i want people to know that its not wrong to have a feeling of anger.. u have feelings too and they have been violated! u are frustrated because of setbacks! u have lost hope because of painful circumstances! u are in an emotional state that deserves to be addressed and tended to.. NOT SIMPLY DISMISSED AND SWEPT UNDER THE RUG so if you hear some new angry songs from me in upcoming days.. understand that i am sympathizing with you and me. had a dream last night where i got involved with a married woman again
this time i was more of a willing participant and the girl was actually someone i know in real life i think the only reason i had this dream is because i have certain "what-ifs" running around in my head what if she and i were together? what if we went right instead of left? nocturnal paintings ensue.. hypothetical film clips invade my dreams and i am left with even more to think about dis is only foar teh gaimers this is just a simple funny gamer story.. i cracked up at this if ur a gamer then you have a story like this.. somewhere in your memory there is a story like this this kinda makes me want to do some gamer stories of my own
the thing about stuff like this is its just very.. its synonymous with our childhood and a story about sacrificing yoshi is always going to be a doosey LOL i'd probably say georgia anne muldrow is my 2nd fave female artist behind me'shell ndegeocello here's a cool clip of georgia talking about making beats a little i want to get something off my chest
i really dislike people who say things like "i am getting afraid because i'm about to graduate" or "i don't know what i'm going to do when i have to leave the safety net of college" i just cannot understand these people at all my thinking has always been "i can't wait to get out of school so i can start my life" i don't understand people who think college is fun or who think "real life" is "scary" what is fun about college? what is fun about spending money u don't have? what is fun about doing homework every day? what is fun about always learning new things and never having a sense of mastery over a thing? i long for the day when i feel like i know what i'm doing and i'm confident about it.. i long for the days when i'm making money instead of just spending it.. i long for the days when i finish work and i chill instead of do homework i just don't understand what people mean when they say they like college and they act like they want to be in it forever.. i don't get it at all.. like what are you experiencing that i'm not? sometimes people say "i like school" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!? what do you like about it? you like reading textbooks on saturday afternoons? you like hearing lectures everyday? you like taking tests? to me.. college is a means to an end.. when people act like college is this gloriously fun main course of life i don't get what they are talking about when i hear people say they like school and they are "afraid to graduate" it just makes me feel more and more crazy to me- graduating and finally leaving school behind forever sounds like winning the lottery like sometimes i think when i graduate and walk across the stage i just want to shake the person's hand and then spit in their face to show my contempt lol "thanks for making me sit through your pretentious bs and atheist rhetoric for four years asswipe" i am not dissing college or anything.. i'm just explaining my viewpoint.. ultimately i'm happy to be in college i'm thankful God has given me something to do and work towards because if i didn't have something to do i'd feel like i'm wasting time i'm thankful that God has blessed me with the means to make it through school.. it gives me a lot of hope for the future because honestly what would i be doing with my life if i wasn't in school? probably still working jobs for 6 months until i get laid off or quit that lifestyle is wack so yeah.. my perspective is way different than a lot of people i come across.. but overall i am still thankful inside.. i'm just explaining why these people irk me does anyone understand me on this? to me- when people say they are afraid to graduate its like someone saying they are afraid of being released from prison.. if ur in jail with that person then ur like: "ok then how about we trade places!?.. u stay and i'll go!! how's that!?" its just kinda maddening hopsin is nice w/ lyrics.. this interview was really good to hear! glad to see he honors God in his interviews.. i also like that he acknowledges that he isn't perfect but he cares about God and wants to do better i never would've expected hopsin to have so much wisdom because homie is bonkers but without a doubt- appearances can be deceiving dang ice is too real!!!! i'm the ngga u shoulda killed last year
but u played ya'self u let me gain wealth now i can change the way the cards are dealt!! WOOOOO!!!!! i am babysitting right now.. man i HATE this sh*t !!!! ++++++ this was on a video game message board about an upcoming game lol my faith in humanity is partially restored by this ++++++ lately i've been trying to overcome what can be best described as discontentment because of my experiences with discontentment, i have developed a love for the word itself it just encompasses so much of my life btw.. i'm not unappreciative, but think of it as... a very complex and enduring senioritis.. in other words i'm extremely ready (at least mentally) to move forward in life ++++++ i wish a video game would give me the ability to record my own voice acting for the characters ++++++ i know this is old but.. dis ngga is inSANE LOL!! but the women are crazy too.. like wtf are they cheering so much for? ultimately it comes off as like an awkward publicity stunt or something anyway.. right after i saw the above video then i saw this and thought it was spot-on LOL ++++++ i was watching teen mom yesterday ok first i want to say that i hate how the show is edited i can only stand a few people on there so say i'm watching kailyn, then 5 minutes later i have to see jenelle.. then i am ready to turn it off.. cuz i don't like jenelle anyway.. so i may be late on this cuz i don't really watch the show.. but when i saw it yesterday- kailyn cheated on her b/f with her baby's dad ok i just have to speak on this one thing i don't get about women in general is... like.. they primarily have two jobs when it comes to pleasing men 1. look pretty 2. don't be a hoe after that its mostly just attitude, but if you look pretty and ur not a hoe, those are like the main things men are looking for she is already pretty (imo) so all she has to do is not be a hoe.. but she can't even get that right? wait a second.. lets break it down 1. look pretty 2. don't be a hoe 3. have a good attitude 4. treat ur guy with respect (3 and 4 are really kinda the same thing) yeah.. i'd say that just about covers it.. just do those 3 or 4 things and u can have any guy.. WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT IT!? i just watched teen mom and within that small 2 hour time span THREE men left their girls because they were partaking in hoe activity like.. why do women make it so difficult? why? if i say to you.. "do anything you want, just don't do *BLANK*" ...then why the f*ck do you immediately go and do *BLANK* ????? anyway.. kailyn's boyfriend was on one too why did he have sex with her and just think that was it? like i don't understand it.. it just seemed dumb on a lot of levels 1. u know she's in a relationship 2. you know (or at least you should know) she is going to try to use sex as bargaining or leverage.. once u kiss her or have sex with her she is going to think you want HER oh and this brings me to another thing i wanted to speak on.. this is a classic case of how men and women misread one another men think women think like men and women think men think like women.. NO.. men speak with words women speak with action/nuance watch that segment again and think about what i'm saying have you ever heard the phrase "i'm a man of my word" ?? men stand by their words.. women are more of a gray area.. men see the black and white, women see the gray.. to see a woman's true thoughts you have to look at her actions and expressions.. (and i'm not saying in EVERY SITUATION.. i hate u people who always say "well not all the time" ...i'm talking generally you dumbass) anyway... did u see that episode? any thoughts? *hears echo* oh btw.. do u guys think teen mom prevents teen pregnancy? or do you think it increases it? i am on the fence about whether this show is helpful or harmful to the youth today.. but the fact that there are so many condom commercials on during the show seems to harbor the definitive answer |
