Q beez 2

Bet to have a career that will last through the next election. He is the Rookie of the Year for people whose concept of “Rookie of the Year” exists in a world without blogs. He’s already crossed over. I saw him perform “Satellites” in an all-black club in a country town called Thibodeaux and everyone knew every word. Same went for the LSU Brianna’s and Becky’s going berserk when it came on in Tigerland.“Satellites” is the best distillation of Gates’ appeal. It’s both a love song and a story about coming up out of poverty. Gates sings the absurdly catchy hook and snaps double-time for the last 16 bars. He creates the myth of himself as the self-made enforcer, Luca Brasi, everybody’s sworn favorite. Right now, he’s only speaking for his state but that’s about to change. When you already have the people behind you, the pundits are irrelevant. — Jeff Weiss33. Nikki Minaj ft. 2 Chainz – “Beez in the Trap”“Beez In The Trap” is the proof of the power of personality. Nicki Minaj can certainly rap her ass off when she wants to; “Beez” needs no technical acrobatics. It’s all curled upper lip, fuck your whole life. Each syllable pushed through an audible sneer. The chorus pulls the neat trick of paraphrasing Schoolly D’s “P.S.K.” and “Bitches Ain’t Shit” in the same breath. The first verse contains what may be the greatest Hulk Hogan reference in rap to date. The production is all empty space, a welcome evocation

To show how much of a diverse range she has. The lady does deserve her flowers.7. Beez In The Trap ft. 2 ChainzProduced by Ke’noe, “Beez In The Trap” was certified gold by the RIAA in 2012. The video also didn’t disappoint and was nominated for best hip-hop video at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. In the song, Nicki and 2 Chainz team up to brag about their vast experiences in trap music. The song was a club banger and is one of Nicki Minaj’s best songs.6. Pound The Alarm“Pound The Alarm” is a feel-good song that talks about having a good time and partying. It took place at a carnival in the Port of Spain and showed us just how true to her roots she is. It also showed us that her people know how to have a good time. “Pound The Alarm” was a club and radio hit and peaked at position No.15 on the Hot 100. The overwhelming radio requests were evidencing enough of how bubbly and catchy the song is.5. StarshipsBeing the lead single off of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded Starships skyrocketed Nicki Minaj’s career to another level and marked her crossover to mainstream pop. The song ended up staying on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for 21 weeks straight and has been certified platinum six times. The song, which was produced by RedOne, has a club-ready vibe complete with Euro-pop rhythms. The song also happens to be one of Nicki’s most radio-friendly singles.4. Feeling Myself

Here's a list of 20 songs about birds. Linked Gallery > Featured Image --> Ami Strachan/EyeEm/Getty Images Birds are often used as metaphor for feeling free — flying above whatever it is that might be holding you down. That’s one of the reasons artists play on birds — doves, vultures, bird songs or just the word “bird” generically — as a symbol in a song. Not always is this symbolism positive.For example, Nelly Furtado’s most known hit “I’m Like A Bird” describes herself as a bird flying away without a clue where her soul or home is. John Mayer sings in “Vulture” of other people picking him apart. And then you have someone like Anderson .Paak rapping “a bird with the word came to me,” playing off of The Trashmen’s “bird is the word” line from “Surfin’ Bird” in 1963.Here is a list of 20 songs around birds.See also: How to Download Free Music | Top 25 Songs for Studying | 15 Songs About Family | 15 Songs About Saying Goodbye | 15 Songs About Fighting DJ Snake ft.

The festival was originally known as “An Aquarian Experience: 3 Days of Peace and Music”, but it later became known as just Woodstock. John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld and Michael Lang were the four minds behind Woodstock. They were all under the age of 28, and they were simply looking for an investment opportunity. Among the line up they had Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Joan Beez and Janis Joplin just to name a few. In total they had 33 artists performing over the three days.The event was a huge success, but the organisers had to face a couple of issues: Last minute changes tho the venue, dodgy weather and the sheer amount of people who were attending caused some problems. They ended up making the event free to attendees, due to these issues, which would be unheard of now for such a big music event. 15.8.1969 1967 Rolling Stone Magazine Launches The first edition of Rolling Stone magazine featured John Lennon on the cover.
