Music of 2011 (IMO)

There are waaaay too tooo  many great songs that I can post or more appropriately remember but I am going to post the ones that I could have played all day non stop and STILL not get sick of it. This year has been the year of "creative familiarity" as I like to call it. So many different genres of music and new sounds followed by a unleash of familiar songs following suit. The cementing of the Hipster has come with everyone trying to be "cool" and "unique" by everyone doing something different but end up being the same as they are all trying to be different... whether in clothes, film or music by doing 'alternative songs' and countless music blogs... just like this one LOLz well, more advanced. The pop music formula changing from pop being RnB (Rudeboy last year) to it now being bright dance music mixed in with a lil Rap and RnB (Beautiful People, David Guetta or Pitbull) and it JLO case Reggae (into you) and Reggaeton.

This year has been THE year or Rihanna, Pitbull, Adele and the Minaj not forgetting the Tumblr love for Drake's Take Care and The Weeknd. The explosion of the the lifestyle called "Odd Future" you might have heard of them?.. The 101 remixes of 'Otis' coming out.

In the UK, its been quite something. OF course Dancehall and Bashment is still MASSIVE. The uprising of Afrobeats in raves has sprung. More grime artists moving into the hipster limelight i.e. the massive Sneakbo- show me the wave.

Let's not even start with the invasion of DUBSTEP - once a little underground thing in the house parties of its origins in Croydon has now become a WORLD WIDE phenomenomhihgrgfgg <-- or however you spell it as a regular cameo on Pop songs with Dubstep artists such as Benga and the rest of the Magnetic Man dem and Chase and Status and Nero reaching global status and becoming part of the mainstream top 40 and demanded by superstars like Rihanna, Britney Spears and Snoop. Romanian dance music still had its fame with hits like Mr. Saxobeat.

Deaths had rocked the music industry and music lovers as the ever so talented Amy Winehouse and Heavy D, Gil Scott Heron died may they R.I.P plus many more.

Mega hits included: On the Floor, Party Rock Anthem, California Gurls, Firework, I'm into you, Super Bass etc.

There is a lot more I cna talk about but those are the main pointers if I missed anything... you know where the comments are or tell me on my twitter @babycokes

Well, 2011- you've been alright ya know B)

Ryuichi Sakamoto Trio 1996 - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

You guys know I love music but nothing will ever EVER reach the level of this. It ones of those things I can only listen to once because I don't want that feeling I get to become common and devalued. This is toooooooo too amazing to put into words and the fact a human can come up with this.. it's just... UNBELIEVABLE. Literally. It gives me hope. He got touched by God when he came with it that's all I can really say.




JUST WOW. The actual sit there paralysed and gasp in shock kind of Wow.

Non Music: My Tram Experience- Racism in London

I know this isn't music related but this needs to be shown.

How many white British people who are cringing at this..Not sure
How many British white people are agreeing with her but to scared to admit it? I don't now.
How many white British are saying too right about time someone said it.. A LOT more than you think...
How many non-white British Citizens of the UK or the Commonwealth shaking their heads at this? no cluee

but if there is one thing I do know is that Maaan. I feel so so so so so sorry for that child.






People like think London is this multi-cultural places where races get along quite well and in MOST, NOT ALL, MOST places that is the case of course everyone will have stereotypes about everyone else due to ignorance (that's what racism is ignorance and arrogance), but won't hold them to a individual and treat them differently because of them Ethnic minorities esp commonwealth places like India and Jamaica henceforth the large communities in the large cities that make up about around 3% of the whole British population (actual stat, google it) where asked, after the war and in the 1960s, to come and help the communities rebuild themselves and fill in jobs that weren't being taken by the white British people, that's why I am here today.

It's just one of those things you just have to shake your head and pity her and try and put her right if you can as the stupidness to come out of the woman really isn't anything intelligent to be reasoned with or get angry over. 

So sorry. May God watch over that that child because HELL he'll be needing it

Hyro Da Hero - Ghetto Ambiance (Official Video)

Beyoncé - Party ft. J. Cole

Right now, I am having the BIGGEST nostalgia for the 90s and 80s and this song fits my current obsession to a T. Having a crush on Jonathan Brandis (R.I.P) all over again and watching a whole load of 90s movies this half term and the twitter trend #rnbclassics didn't help much ¬__¬ What has come over me? I haven't a clue..

But anyways song has been on CONSTANT repeat




Plus she looks beautiful, the fashion in this video is *applause* what do you expect from King B though..

Labrinth - Earthquake ft. Tinie Tempah



Labrinth is WAY too underrated. He is like the Timbaland of the UK, when it comes to pop music in the UK (fuck he is prob up there with Timbo and Guetta in producing), I think this guy is unparalleled to none.
this song should be just as massive as Pass Out.
and no I am not even a hardcore fan this guy is just super talented.

^^ My comment damn fucking right

Aaliyah feat. Timbaland - We Need A Resolution

R.I.P Aaliyah
she was so beautiful man

Lil Wayne - How To Love (Shazam Version)

How much I love this I cannot say
I love it when artists make songs for people and not just bragging about how much pussy (girls to the civilised) they get (who can I add is probably using them for the money).

This song has probably touched girls and made them think of themselves differently. Thank God he is using his fame to get across a good message man. New found respect.

Timbaland - Pass At Me feat. Pitbull & David Guetta - Lyrics Video

Timbalaaaand where you beeen man
Love this beat

Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) - Rehab

You prob already know but you know what they say the good always die young. She was the one that started the mainstream old school soul revival here in the UK and was predecessor for the likes of Adele, Lilly Allen, Duffy etc. that went on to take the world by storm.

UK has lost another thing that made the country soo great but at the same time you can't help but have a lil 'not surprised' attitude which is sad.

I gotta to feel sorry for her Dad he must be heartbroken esp how he tried to get her off the drugs still.

The song that started it off in the UK



Always sad when someone so talented leaves the rest of us behind

Tuesday, 19 July 2011

Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Dont Need You - (Acoustic)

AND BY THE END OF IT THEY WERE CHEERED A LOT SO IT ALL WORKED OUT ITE. AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THAT PERFORMANCE WAS WHEN HE DROPPED LOOOOOL (THE MAIN SINGER), THE BACKING SINGER WOMAN BREAKING DOWN AT THE BACK AND WHEN PEOPLE STOPPED BOOING AND STARTED CHEERING. OVERALL THEY ARE HIGHLY TALENTED AND I CAN IMAGINE AND UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WHO IS INTO THAT MUSIC WOULD LOOOOVE THEM.

P DIDDY - NUFF SAID. HE WAS WICKED LOOL HE KNOWS HE'S A DON OBVS DOIN HIS HITS LIKE BAD BOYS AND MISSIN YOU (A TRIBUTE TO BIGGIE SMALLS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO LOST OR IS MISSNG SOMEONE, IT WAS TOUCHING. TRUST ME.) THOSE WERE MY HIGHLIGHTS.

HIS FACE, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT, IT WAS HILARIOUS. IT WAS LIKE... YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE IN GIGGLY MOOD THEN SOMEONE LETS ONE LOOSE AND IT SMELLS? YEAH IT WAS LIKE THAT HEEHEE.

THE DJ ( HE WAS CALLED LIKE DJ CRISP OR SOMETHING? I DON'T KNOW) - BUT HE WAS WICKED. AMERICAN GUY, FULL OF ENERGY, LETS JUST SAY IF I WAS A CELEB AND HOLDING MY 21ST B-DAY IN A CLUB IN LONDON OR NEW YORK - HE WOULD BE THE DJ. HE GOT THE CROWDS ENERGY STILL PUMPING WHILE WAITING FOR THE NEXT ACT TO SET UP AND HE PLAYED SONGS THAT EVERYONE DANCED TOO.. HE WAS WICKED. MADE THE NIGHT A LIL BIT MORE SPECIAL..

THEN, AFTER THE SHOW FINISHED EVERYONE RAN TO THE STATION (I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO ASK SOMEONE FOR A PIGGY BACK NO LIE) TO GET THE LAST TUBE - LITERALLY RACING BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON, THE TRANSPORT, LIKES TO CLOSE AT 12AM AS IF PEOPLE DON'T GO OUT IN THE NIGHT OR ARE CAPABLE OF WALKING 3 HOURS HOME NOT MINDING IF A LIL RAPE, KIDNAP AND BEATS ARE ALONG THE WAY -_-.
