Nickelback, "How You Remind Me" & The Slow Death of Grunge Hotney 9 Streams • 2 years ago

What to say about Nickelback? To say that they are terrible is played out, so very predictable. To say that they are secret geniuses of post-grunge balladry isn’t quite right either. But whatever you may think, their first single off Silver Side Up will always endure. It is the definitive sound of radio for the early 2000s. A nuevo classic rock standard shot through the lens of grunge. 220 seconds of candied hooks, unshakeable melody, and surprisingly crunchy guitars. However forces beyond their control coalesced to make sure that Nickelback became inescapable. This is how “How You Remind Me” happened.

"Smalltown Boy", Bronski Beat & Being Openly Gay in Eighties Pop | New British Canon Hotney 9 Streams • 2 years ago

1984 was a particularly flamboyant year for British Pop. “Relax” overcame its radio ban to spend five weeks at UK number one. George Michael alluded to his future solo aspirations with “Careless Whisper.” Pete Burns’ Dead Or Alive proved the combination of Hi NRG and Stock Aitken Waterman equalled chart-success. And Freddie Mercury dressed in drag for the “I Want to Break Free” video. But aside from the two core members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, most of these men were living some kind of closeted existence.

However, also debuting in 1984 were Bronski Beat. Fronted by Jimmy Somerville, a Scottish socialist with the voice of a disco diva packed within his buzz cut 5 foot 4 frame, they were three openly **** men writing honestly about their lives. Their melancholic debut single is a synth-pop escape, from a smalltown and its small minds, with its destination simply being somewhere better, both for themselves and LGBTQ+ Pop. This is New British Canon and This is the Story of “Smalltown Boy”.

Hittman: The TRAGIC Story Of Dr. Dre’s Former Protégé Hotney 9 Streams • 2 years ago

Dr. Dre is often regarded to be one of the greatest producers of all time. Throughout his career, he’s had many different proteges. Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar are the more notable ones. Though these people are the most known and went on to achieve massive success others didn’t reach those heights under the tutelage of Dr. Dre.

Bishop Lamont, Jon Connor, Knocturnal, Truth Hurts, and Stat Quo are just some names that never really broke through while they were signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Records. They each have their own stories on the behind-the-scenes situations that affected their career but the most intriguing story in my opinion is what happened to Hitmann.

BIA X LAKEYAH X FLAUJAE

BIA
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking dont you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking dont you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe

BIA Verse:
Who said that i wouldn't come through caught a bitch sitting outside its like that Who said that i wasnt running my city nigga came through running right back
Who said that i wouldn't come through caught a bitch sitting outside its like that Who said that i wasnt running my city nigga came through running right back
For a bitch to have a one up on me she must be on my fucking head Niggas tweaking to get in my bed
I stay in my feelings till i take a hit and smoke my meds put some sleepy then i drink instead Aint no way he fucking on this pussy unless he give me head
Had him sleeping i thought he was dead
i can see my nigga pillowtalking like he with the feds over texts that i aint ever read
I just flew into skyami in my soul- they treat me like im family
Interstate come in handy, throw my shit on the yard he aint gotta understand me
And it costs cause its real different from these bitches but he liking my appeal
I just got a text from your nigga whats the deal? And i put his ass on ice just to show him how it feels

Hook:
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking dont you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe
Ya you cant get enough Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking don't you lie to me hoe Don't you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe

Lakeyah Verse:
Who said who wasnt the hardest out the batch here?
I touch more money than a cashier, one link now she sweating me like a cashmere
Big Ky I check bitches like a pap smear
You a fan of me baby you aint gotta lie to me
Rookie of the year i feel like Angel Reese
These rap bitches be mid that dont apply to me
Middle of the census broke bitch im where the commas be
Look neck froze, wrist froze im a glacier
Nosies rolling trees im touching paper
Talk like it, walk like it but bitch you aint her
Tell my ops i send shots without a chaser
And now you cant get enough i stand up on all these racks i probably be 6’1 im fly as a dub im ballin on they heads in dunks im putting points up in the painting and bitch i aint even gotta jump-Lakeyah

Hook:
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking dont you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe

Flau'Jae Verse:
Who said that i was talking and wasnt walking it? Who said that they was streaming and nobody coping it
These rappers gettin soft again they done got me pissed off again
Im crushing they esophagus got em gassing for oxygen
Like who flow better dont ask if you know better
Im sicker than cold better im typing in bold letters
Man i walk inside the club they wanna see bout me im the biggest And the four come after the B-I-G

Hook:
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking don't you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe
Ya you cant get enough
Ya you cant get enough
Keep it gangsta when you speaking don't you lie to me hoe Dont you talk under you breath you cant hide from me hoe
