Musically alot has happened this year in the music industry, The loss of Michael Jackson was heartfelt around the globe. 2009 was an interesting year in music. Not the best, not the worst, not really anywhere in between but some place random that I can’t pinpoint. There were some incredible highs and some really fucking low lows. I know it’s not the end of 2009 yet, but I don’t honestly give a shit about anything else coming out this year and I want to get my list out there early so I can laugh and imagine that everybody else copied me. Ha! Without further ado, here’s my favorites and least favorites of the year (also notice how I said “my favorites.” this denotes opinion!)
My favorite songs of the year:
1. I Need A U – Letoya
2. Photographs – Rihanna ft. will.I.am
3. Save The Hero – bluntsmokka vs. sasha fierce
4. Feel’n Free – Ron D *8* Lim
5. I Wanna (Get U High) – Tie Anthony
6. Southren Storm – Dj. Cage
7. Hate – Jay Z ft. Kanye West
8. What I Remember – Tie Anthony & Bluntsmokka
9. I’m The Ish – Dj. Class ft. Kanye West And Lil Jon
10. Bad Romance – Lady Gaga
AND NOW TIME FOR THE BAD!
Disappointments of the year:
1. Jay-Z – The Blueprint 3
Yo Jay what’s with this shit? Blueprint 3 being released on the same day as the original Blueprint is almost a sin because of what garbage it is. The guy who was once king of rap now sounds bored as all hell, basically phoning in an album and enlisting a lot of guest stars to mask it. After all these months I am still questioning the integrity of having a song declaring the “Death of Autotune” but having the VERY NEXT SONG ON THE ALBUM featuring both Rihanna and Kanye West. NOPE! Maybe next time Jay?
2. Rihanna – Rated R
3. Britney Spears – Circus
4. Love Sex Magic (Main Version) by Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake
“Worst Collaboration: I thought Ciara & Justin Timberlake’s Love Sex Magic was absolutely weak, and honestly their worst collaboration. There really wasn’t a intimate piece of chemistry that made this vanishing act stay for time.”
5. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel by Mariah Carey
“Flop Of The Year (Tie): Memoirs… really is Mariah’s weakest album ever. She really didn’t show the moods that brought out her true colors here at all. From being too over-obsessed, all the way to the worst Foreigner cover ever, Mariah definitely has hit her lowest point yet.”
6. I Am…Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition) by Beyonce
“Overexposed Artist Of The Year: Beyonce’. There really has been too much booty-shaking from her this year, and a lot of mixed baggage with I Am… Sasha Fierce. She should really bring out better on her next effort.”
7. I Want To Know What Love Is by Mariah Carey
“Worst Cover Song: I really hated Mariah’s rendition of this Foreigner song. Not only that, but she missed recording an entire verse from the original lyrics. If you really want to know where love is, it certainly isn’t here.”
8. Evolver – Green Light by John Legend featuring Andre 3000
yuck yuck and YUCK!
9. Fantasy Ride (Limited Edition CD/DVD) by Ciara
what was that? shit!
10. Any Prince Cd Released Since Sign O The Times.
AND WE END WITH A HEALTHY RANT!
Guest vocalists have been really shitty of late and have been dominating the music scene with their nonsense. Everybody knows that guest vocalists are great when done right (TV on the Radio feat. David Bowie for “Province”, Kanye feat. Jay-Z for “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” jump to mind) but lately it seems like pop music stars are just getting random fools to guest in their songs to attract mindless fans. This is especially prevalent with rappers. Sorry Drake, Akon, (insert mindless rapper here) but I don’t give a shit how many Kanyes or Jay-Zs you throw in your songs, they’re still drivel. Sorry Keri Hilson, but get as many songs with Kanye and Lil Wayne as you like but your music is still the same trite brainless radio ready pop with an “edge” (HAHA). Is it bad that I now expect the worse when the radio announcer tacks on the “featuring”?
Our site known as M.O.D suffered a major crash back in the summer, that spawned us to start and rebuild the site all over from scratch. We all have had some type of loss and disappointment this year. I’m hoping 2010 will be a better year for our site as we continues to grow towards being positive and more members joining and becoming more active.
