Cooking Beef (Originally posted on 9/10/2010)

Hola, good people;   I hope your day is going well. I’m in a good mood. As I’m typing, I’m actually pop-locking (bet you didn’t know I was that talented). Lot of important things going on right now, but I believe it’s necessary to get this beef off my chest. By the way, beef brisket sounds disgusting. I heard somebody on the sitcom “The Game” say, “That’s why you smell like beef brisket.” Almost threw up.

Any who…back to business; Trey Songz, I’m calling you out. That’s right, “Playa”, I said it. You out here trying to show out, and I’m not feeling it. My first point of beef: Calling yourself “Mr. Steal Yo’ Girl”. Really, Tremaine? That’s how you flow? So you mean to tell me when Pick 6 blows up (Check us out on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pick6time lol) I can’t bring my girl around you, or you’ll try to jack me? That’s messed up, homie, messed up. I recently read at Black Colleges the female to male ratio is 7:1 or something crazy like that. You better take your black behind to Morgan State and get you a bitty! Be reasonable, homie, you should have no problem getting girls. You got a thin mustache, you haven’t worn a shirt since your debut album, and above all, you’re an R&B singer. If you’re having problems getting your own women…I don’t know, call Usher or somebody. But since you want to be a hater, I’M releasing an album to compete with Passion Pain and Pleasure. It will be released under my alias Seis Songz, aka “Mr. Get Your Own Girl”. Fall back brother.

Secondly, I heard you rapping now. I heard you spitting “hot rhymes” on your mixtapes. Come on, Dog! I’m glad to know you can diversify and all, but can you stay focused on this singing thing? SOME OF US like to use your music to set the mood. I’m not going to put up candles, rose petals, get the massage oil, and then have you beat boxing on the track. Slow down. Besides, I’ve never heard Ron Isley or Teddy Pendergrass spit a nice 16. Not necessary.

Now playa, I’m saying all this to you because I know you got talent. You’ve been working hard and it’s paying off, for you and all the brothers who can’t sing so they play your CD to their lady. But don’t let it go to the head, dude. Chris Brown is almost back in good graces with the media, and I’ll convert like Islam.
 That’s all for now; I hope you all are getting ready for the upcoming season of Pick 6. We’ve got a new location, new sketches, guest appearances…and much boogie. Season 3 is sure to be the real deal…Chili cheese fries good. For more info, come here, www.pick6time.com, the facebook page, or follow us on twitter @pick6time. Peace, grace, and Bouillabaisse.

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...

Choose Your Artist- Future vs. T-Pain

Voice alteration is by no means a new tool to music, but in recent years we have seen a renaissance in its inclusion. Undoubtedly, the Hip Hop and R&B genre have lead the way in including these tools, primarily through its use of the Auto Tune digital processor. Artists such as Will.I.Am, Chris Brown, and Drake have utilized auto tune to create dozens of hits. In our latest installment of Choose Your Artist, we visit the world of Auto Tune as we pit one of the most successful users of the tool, T-Pain, against the recently crowned champion, rapper Future. Tale of the Tape: Singer T-Pain emerged on the scene in 2004 with unique style and voice that fans had not heard in many years. T-Pain's surge to stardom was spearheaded with his use of the largely underutilized voice adjustment tool Auto-Tune.Originally used to disguise and hide off-key discrepancies, T-Pain used Auto-Tune as a device to assist in his melody. The technique would lead to such hits as "Bart...

What The 'Yeezy: Our Obsession With The "Old" Kanye West

"Hov on that new sh*t n*ggas like how come N*ggas want my old sh*t, buy my old album N*ggas stuck on stupid, I gotta keep it moving N*ggas make the same sh*t, me I make the blueprint" Jay-Z, "On to the Next One" This past Saturday, comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live  featured a guest appearance from Kanye West, who debuted two songs from his upcoming album, Yeezus . West perfomed "Black Skinhead"  and "New Slaves" (posted below), two songs that drive us through the introspective, darker mind of  Kanye. The star rapper and producer continues to travel to different worlds with his music; while his production remains stellar, his sound is a far cry from his 2004 release of  The College Dropout. With Dropout,  Kanye West established himself as one of the premier artists and producers of the industry. His sound was an incredible fusion of joy, family values, rebellion, spirit, and drive; West's lyrics and beats were a stylish struggle sp...
