YG - My N*gga (remix)

Artist:  YG feat. Lil Wayne, Rich Homie Quan, Meek Mill, and Nicki Minaj
Song:  My N*gga (remix)
Album:  My N*gga - Remix (2014)
Genre:  Rap, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

So I was actually gonna post this on the 16th, but while I was watching the video I noticed a dude holding up a jersey that said March 18th.  I dunno the significance of that, but I figured it was only 2 days away, so let's rock it, eh?

Back when I was a wee baby boy just getting into Rap music, I did what any white dude does.  Go for the most stereotypically "Rap" song he could find.  What's more stereotypical than super ignorant ghetto sounding Rap?  Nothing.

So yeah, I accidentally came across YG, and actual decent name in the Rap community, just cause I enjoyed the title and the "cred" I thought it bought me.  I am not nearly this dumb now for what it's worth.  I still enjoy this type of stuff, but I've got way better taste now outside of just that.  You know, just for what it's worth.

Anyway though, I decided to share the remixed version of this song because Lil Wayne and Nicki manage to drop some fantastic verses on this track.  The original is pretty good, but I feel like this one is a little stronger.

Kanye West - Monster

Artist:  Kanye West feat. Bon Iver, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj
Song:  Monster
Album:  My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Genre:  Rap, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

A friend of mine was talking about this song recently.  Something about Rick Ross' incredibly out of breath sounding verse, Jay-Z and Kanye not giving their all, and the DJ cutting the song off before Nicki's verse hits.

Now I, and my friend, are not the biggest fans of Nicki.  However her verse is hands down one of the best things about the song.  It's just goes so hard, it's fantastic.  It's probably the best verse she's ever laid down if we're being honest.

Katy Perry - Swish Swish

Artist:  Katy Perry feat. Nicki Minaj
Song:  Swish Swish
Album:  Witness
Genre:  Pop
Language:  Strong

Katy hadn't released an album since 2013 till she dropped Witness a month or so ago.  I've gotta say, there's some things I really like about it but there's just as many things that I don't care for.

Like, I won't deny that she's got a fantastic voice.  No argument here, she's great at what she does.  It's her beats that bug me though, there's a lot of music on this album that I just can't get into.  It sounds old, but instead of being old in a nifty retro way it's just dated.

This song though is quite nice.  There's some others on the album I like but off the top of my head I can't think of them.  Been a bit since I listened to it.

Hope ya like it though, is a solid tune.
