steeznson , in Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]

Not a huge Eminem fan. Although I have to admit the first CD I ever bought was Encore and maybe that poisoned the well. I thought this was good!

Appreciated that the lyrics weren't yelled like many (many!) of his recent tracks. The hook was good. I think it's been long enough for a throwback to be acceptable.

“Homicide" is the third single released from Logic’s 2019 album, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

The track exhibits Logic and Eminem’s rapid-fire flows. The title seems to assert that they are lyrically murdering their detractors and non-lyrical rappers.

In a 2018 interview with HardKnockTV, Logic shared his thoughts on Eminem and his desire to collaborate with him:

It was awesome […] to be recognized by one of my favorite MCs of all time, one of my favorite artists […] I fuck with him. I want to work with him. I want to do a song with him. I think that could be pretty cool.

Now, let’s dive into the meaning behind the song “Squad Goals” by Prof. This energetic and upbeat track showcases the confidence and swagger of the artist. The chorus repeats the line “I got guns, hoes, money, dro, cars, boats, you should know, dogs, bros, squad goals, hold up, whoa, you name it.” These lyrics may initially seem brash and materialistic, but there is more to the song than meets the eye.

Nice, I see 'The Coup', I approve!

Told in first person, this is the story of a boy, his prostitute momma, and her evil pimp. Fear, sex, money, poverty, history repeating itself, violence against women, revenge, and redemption are just some of the poignant themes we experience through Boots Riley’s gritty narrative

I want to add most of his video are 10 second reviews of albums (and sometimes movies). No filler, just what you need to know. I've found a lot of good music from him.

autotldr Bot , in Wu-Tang Clan: Rare album to go on display at Mona in Tasmania - BBC News

This is the best summary I could come up with:


An album so rare and valuable that only a few ears have ever listened to it is set to go on display at an Australian gallery, giving the public a taste of the uber-exclusive tracks.Housed in an ornate silver box, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin - recorded in secret by the Wu-Tang Clan over six years - was designed to be a piece of fine art.

Only a single CD copy exists.The record by the pioneering hip-hop group is the most expensive ever sold, and has been has now been loaned to Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art (Mona).Over 10 days in June, Mona will host small listening parties where members of the public can hear a curated, 30-minute sample of the album.The album is part of its Namedropping exhibition, which examines status, notoriety and "the human pursuit".

"Every once in a while, an object on this planet possesses mystical properties that transcend its material circumstances," said Mona Director of Curatorial Affairs Jarrod Rawlins.

"Recorded in New York City and produced in Marrakesh between 2006 and 2013, the album includes the nine surviving members of the group - and features pop artist Cher and Game of Thrones actress Carice Van Houten.How Wu-Tang Clan revolutionised hip-hop forever

The group felt the value of music had been cheapened by online streaming and piracy, and wanted to take "a 400-year-old Renaissance-style approach to music, offering it as a commissioned commodity".It includes a hand-carved nickel box and a leather-bound manuscript containing lyrics and a certificate of authenticity - and a legal condition that the owner cannot release the 31 tracks for 88 years.Producer RZA likened it to a Picasso artwork, or an ancient Egyptian artefact.

"It's a unique original rather than a master copy of an album," he said when the album went on sale in 2015.As a result, only a handful of people on the planet have heard snippets of the 31 tracks.A group of potential buyers and media heard a 13-minute section in 2015, and disgraced drug firm executive Martin Shkreli - who bought the album for $2m (£1.6m, A$3m) - streamed clips of the music on YouTube to celebrate Donald Trump's 2016 election victory.Shkreli was later forced to hand it over to US prosecutors in 2018 after being convicted of defrauding investors, and it was then sold to digital art collective Pleasr.In a statement, Pleasr said the Mona listening parties - which will run between 15 and 24 June - helped realise the group's "bold vision to make a single copy album as a work of fine art".

“Party All the Time” is a 1985 song by Eddie Murphy, written and produced by Rick James. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and is featured in the hit video game Grand Theft Auto V on the SPACE 103.2 station.

Commercial promoting Beats by Dre with Kendrick and The Doctor himself. This is a prime example of both artists being perfectionists.

https://genius.com/Kendrick-lamar-its-alive-lyrics

...this track delves into the depths of Kendrick’s mind and explores identity, power, and the struggles he faced on his journey to success.

In the opening lines of the song, Kendrick references the famous quote from the movie “Frankenstein” where Doctor Frankenstein exclaims, “It’s alive!” This sets the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at Kendrick’s exploration of his own power and influence in the rap industry. The lyrics are accompanied by haunting vocals from Colin Clive, further emphasizing the theme of creation and artistic expression.

jimmydoreisalefty OP , in Macklemore x Ryan Lewis "WINGS" Official Music Video [05:32 | Rap, Alternative hip hop]
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

"Wings” (stylized as “Wing$”) explores the consumerism that Macklemore feels plagues not only the youth but everyone in American Society: The idea that your worth as a person is intrinsically linked to the monetary worth of the items you own and the reliance on materialistic items to fit in.

This old Nike commercial is a perfect example of how Nike convinced people if they buy their expensive sneakers, they will be better basketball players. This commercial had been aired when Michael Jordan was in his prime and many people idolized him. Their marketing strategy succeeded and later created what is known today as “sneakerheads”.
