The Rebirth

So I guess that most of you have heard... And probably seen... NKOTB are back. The New Kids... Who look more like old kids now are back with a couple of single's. The first one Summertime... I found hilarious. The boys were dancing around with girls that didn't even look like they were born to see their golden era. And the cheesey dance moves with the white suits... I had to laugh. I did get a little excited to see them do what they do best... Be a boy band. But it did look hilarious.




But then they did what was pure genius... Hook up with Ne-Yo. Now Ne-Yo is a hitmaker... And New Kids On The Block got it right with him... The single entitled Single is infectious... It really is. I said a while back to some friends of mine that they should hook up with Ne-Yo (cause I like his stuff) if they really want to get back in the action. And they have... truly. The lyrics on this track aren't too bad... And the song will just get into your head. All I can say is old dogs, new tricks!

Can't help but like it...

Anyone that has hung out with me for any length of time knows that I hate a little on Pharrell... Not a lot. Just a little. I just think that he is marketing at his best. I like that though. And I think that Chad Hugo doesn't get enough cred for what he does. I liked when Pharrell first dropped Frontin'. I thought the beat was fire, Pharrell singing, and Jigga getting on a verse. It was good. But then In My Mind came out... And I was a little disappointed. But on the upside... I've been banging Announcement... Common featuring Pharrell, and Paris, Tokyo Remix... Lupe Fiasco featuring Q-Tip and Pharrell. And I have to say that I really like both of these songs. And Pharrell has actually bought these songs up. I've always liked both Common and Lupe... So it's a little biased of me. But I do like what Pharrell bought to both of these songs. Especially on Announcement. I really like the beat... And the way that Pharrell just straight copies Biggie's flow on it is biting at it's best. The best I've heard Pharrell rhyme. I'll give him this one... He's back in my good books again. Keep doing your thing boy. You know you'll sell whatever you touch.

And so it starts...

So I've decided to start right away and give you an insight to what I'm listening to at the moment... And because I have such a diverse taste in music (well it isn't really that diverse), You may wonder what the hell is up with my play list. But ipod's are wonderful things that don't question your taste... They just play exactly what you want them to. Well... That is if you have uploaded what you want on them.

Mrs Officer... Lil Wayne
I've been feeling Weezy lately (no I don't have asthma, ha ha)... And don't hate on him... I know that he looks kinda weird. And you can hardly understand what he is saying most of the time. But his beats are fire... And pretty much the whole of Tha Carter III has beats worthy of mad airplay. This one ain't any different. Wyclef did well on this... Even if Bobby singing the siren sound just makes you laugh... "Wee ooh wee ohh wee"




Walking down the street today, I had The Roc Boys... Jay-Z in my head. Just do me a favour... And if you know the song... Let it radiate in your head for a bit as you walk down a crowded street. And when the big band hits... Try to tell me that you don't find yourself getting your strut on. I know that you doing it. Jigga makes you feel like a million bucks... But you all know that is chump change for him.




Prince... Do Me Baby. Now anyone that has listened to Prince before they go out on the town knows what I'm talking about... And if you don't, let me lay it down for you. Listen to Prince before you head out... And all of a sudden you'll feel like you could pick up any girl. I know that he's a girly looking 5 foot 2" dude... But his music makes you feel like you're the worlds gift to women. Quite often it doesn't work (past experiences... ha ha), but the confidence is everything you need to get over yourself. And I've been told girls like confidence... So listen to the man.

And the song that I can't get off repeat at the moment... Swagga Like Us... T.I, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z. Now this is the anthem of "I'm too cool for everybody." If you've read any news lately, you know that these guys have ego's big enough for this song. So I think they're perfect for this. And if you get into it... That confidence thing comes to you again. Get ya swagger on.. And think that you are one of these four... Or pick any of hip hops big ego's... I know that you could name ten without dropping a beat. Paper trail is another good T.I album, and I'm digging what he's doing now. But I've always been a T.I fan. But getting all these guys on the same song... Good idea. And good song to do it on.




Damn... Better get my sleep on now... Post some more songs tomorrow. Or something... Sometime.

If I leave you with anything today, its to not care about what anyone thinks. Be confident... Strut if you want... Hit on someone when you have a chance... And get ya swagga on!

One!

The first ever!

Everybody is looking for that something... Yes they are. And I look for things everyday. You will delve into the psyche that is Kevin Taylor. I've been around... And I've seen more than my fair share of things. You will start to realise as this blog grows, that I have my personality has many sides. Most people will have their regular selves, a soft side, a hidden darker side, and that is usually where it stops. As for me, I am far from regular... Watch and you will see... He he he.
