Kendrick Larmar Pride

[iheartmoosiq]

I’m not surprised that  singer songwriter Gwendolyn Lewis already has a loyal following of 275,000 on Facebook. The Toronto artist’s official debut as DYLYN is a pop banger, to say the least. Mimosa isn’t exactly airy delicate like we normally associate with the beverage. This one pops and fizzes with confidence, a bold flavored, breathy impassioned electronic pop firecracker. Gwendolyn had a revelation of sorts after a chance meeting with Colin Munroe (Sky Ferreira, Drake, Kendrick Larmar) in LA. She came to the realization she didn’t want to be a pop puppet. And so, DYLYN was born. 80′s synths, sultry burning vocals, and a rollicking dose of rock and roll endow her fiery pop. As someone who isn’t that into flutes of bubbly, this is one Mimosa I prefer over the usual brunch accompaniment.

#專輯Review #2017年度十大系列 ❏ Thundercat -《Drunk》

Thundercat 是位才華洋溢的Bass手，只怪我一直到年尾才透過這張專輯認識他，相見恨晚。若從他的出生經歷去看，就不難理解本名 Stephen Bruner 的他是如何養成其實力與對音樂的品味。 

Thundercat 出生自加州一個音樂世家，哥哥 Ronald Bruner Jr. 是Temptations演出與錄音的鼓手甚至曾參與Prince和Marcus Miller巡演過。在15歲時，他就加入哥哥的樂團擔任Bass，此後陸續在不斷與各種音樂家合作及國際巡迴的鍛鍊下，逐漸養成並展現他音樂的實力。 

而《Drunk》這張專輯，融合Funk、R&B、Soul和Jazz等Thundercat拿手的樂風類型，其合作名單一字排開豪華陣容也令人讚嘆，包括Kendrick Lamar、Pharrel Williams、Kenny Loggins、Michael McDonald 及Wiz Khalifa。 

尤其他與Kendrick Larmar自 2014《To Pimp a Butterfly》專輯開始到今年的《DAMN.》一路持續合作著，而〈These Walls〉這首歌也獲得當年葛萊美的最佳饒舌說唱合作獎項。 

作為第三張大碟的《Drunk》，共收錄23首歌，全長卻不超過一小時，大部分的歌保持在兩三分鐘的長度，編曲卻是如此流暢。這也是這一兩年我逐漸感受到的專輯製作現象，或許是因為數位聆聽的習慣，大家聽音樂的方式破碎化，不再一次聽完整張專輯，因此許多音樂人都開始嘗試打破過往專輯的創作模式。 

而在一篇專訪裡，他也解釋了專輯名稱的來由：「我總是不斷嘗試保持最真實的一面，這同時也是Erykah Badu與Flying Lotus一直以來的建議，就是音樂必須要來自最真誠的地方。我的感覺，這是個讓我有不同身心狀態並從不同角度看待事情的地方，我指的是喝酒。飲酒過量就���容易東倒西歪，但喝酒可以顯現出人類最真誠的一面，這些我跟朋友們常常看到，但我也目睹過朋友因酗酒而離世。原本音樂文化就是與酒精脫離不了關係的，只是從沒有人刻意提起。」（抱歉，很喜歡這段話就直接擷取了一整段） 

當然，身為專業貓奴的 Stephen Bruner絕對不會錯過在專輯裡展現他一向優秀中二的性格，〈A Fan’s Mail (Tron Song II)〉這首歌是這樣唱著的：「 喵喵喵 我希望我有九條命，我敢說那一定很爽 坐在太陽下讓雨水沖過我 沒有人在意我 想幹嘛就幹嘛 每個人都想成為一隻貓 」 

而他對藝名「霹靂貓」的熱愛，從他將一臺自朋友手中搞來的中古的福特Explorer畫上霹靂貓標誌就可曉得他多想讓世界知道。或許我們能這麼解釋，每個藝術家心中都想成為一隻貓，或者，你就來養隻貓吧（？）

SEE THE VERB

Love is not just a verb its you looking into the mirror- Kendrick Larmar

Do you think you can totally and fully love a person if you fully knew everything about them? Thats like trying to fully know about God and how can that be? When in our current vortex we have chosen to see in part, trying to fully know a person is like wanting to finish the puzzle so we can see the whole picture & end the game, how limiting… Fully knowing about the 'god' we are is asking for an ending picture of ourself-of GOD itself, truth is that doesn't exist! Like God, there is always more to know about a person. Its the infiniteness of infinity secretly woven in the confinements of our being "human". Lets love and be loved because we are the verb (evolving be-ing)seeing its divine Self ever gorgeous every time. " Love is not just a verb its you looking into the mirror". Remember to keep seeing yourself beautiful & amazing anew every moment. -tau_inno

Kendrick larmar's New Album Coming Next week

Kendrick larmar’s New Album Coming Next week

when the “The Heart Part. 4” dropped we did sense a storm on the way and then there came “Sit down… be HUMBLE.” which literally blow our minds……and for some particular reasons speculations and unwarranted fuzz was made about a few things k dot said in the song, most especially when he tried to address one particular subject that is sensitive and that is “a woman’s natural beauty” watch and listen

[teenstars-opinions]

Bro even people like J-Lo don't make music for adults and she's almost 50, so please > ?? She doesn't make music for kids... I-.. are we really just saying anyone who makes music that kids like is now making music /for/ them? Because that's just inaccurate. Kids listen to 50 cent and Kendrick Larmar, and Keith Urban, doesn't mean they're making music /for/ them. Y'all trying too hard to box LM's fans into a category based on personal opinions of who is and isn't an adult and it's not working..

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis vs. Kendrick Lamar

If you haven't heard by now, the GRAMMYs aired this past Sunday night and one of the biggest debates, still being discussed, is the fact that hip-hop/rap artists Macklemore & Ryan Lewis went 4 for 7 while Kendrick Lamar went 0 for 7. Fans are very upset about this, but the question is: do they really need to be? Being a fan of both acts myself, I break down my standpoint on whether or not the award was rightfully deserved for the Seattle-based duo.

Now before I get into it, some of you may not know the distinction between Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. Just like the general awards of Record of the Year and Song of the Year, it's kind of hard to distinguish the differences between them. Think of it like this: Best Rap Performance is equivalent to Record of the Year, so the award goes to the artist who performed the actual song as well as the team who helped produce and engineer the song (the latter only applies to Record of the Year). Best Rap Song is equivalent to Song of the Year, so if you provided any lyrics for the song, and your name is in the credits, then the award goes to you. For example: Rihanna's "Umbrella" was nominated for Song of the Year in 2008, but had that song won, Rihanna herself wouldn't be able to accept the award since she had no input on the track.

Now, let's get into it.

Best Rap Performance

Nominees: 

"Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (ft. Wanz)

"Started From the Bottom" by Drake

"Berzerk" by Eminem

"Tom Ford" by Jay-Z

"Swimming Pools (Drank)" by Kendrick Lamar

Did they deserve it? Yes. Why? Despite "Thrift Shop" being one of the most overplayed songs in all of 2013, it's performed by Macklemore so confidently that it comes off as effortless when you really listen to it. His flow is steady, strong, and sounds as if it could've been delivered in one take. So, I personally think this one was well-deserved. "Swimming Pools (Drank)" is also a strong contender for this category, but the fact that there were so many detailed bits here and there, such as background vocals, different levels of tones, and a change in tempo, may have thrown off the voters of the Recording Academy. Now, had it been nominated for Best Rap Song, he'd probably win that GRAMMY, but it wasn't. This then leads us to... Past overlooked nominee: "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy lost to "Bust a Move" by Young MC (1990)

Best Rap Song

Nominees:

"Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (ft. Wanz)

"Fuckin' Problems" by A$AP Rocky (ft. Drake, 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar)

"Holy Grail" by Jay-Z (ft. Justin Timberlake)

"New Slaves" by Kanye West

"Started From the Bottom" by Drake

Did they deserve it? No, but Kendrick didn't either. Why? Like I mentioned before, had "Swimming Pools (Drank)" been nominated, it would've had a better shot at winning, but unfortunately, they took in A$AP Rocky's "Fuckin' Problems" into consideration instead, a track Kendrick is featured on. However, I don't think Macklemore or K. Dot deserved this award. I actually think this award should've gone to Kanye, to be honest. This award is based on lyrical content and is a songwriter's award, and what's more in-your-face than "New Slaves"? Not only is it an outstanding song with a powerful second verse, but Ye's voice is actually the dominant instrument of the track that it forces you to only listen to his lyrics, which is a tough feat to accomplish. Past overlooked nominee: "Kick, Push" by Lupe Fiasco lost to "Money Maker" by Ludacris (ft. Pharrell) (2007)

Best Rap Album

Nominees:

The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Nothing Was the Same by Drake

Magna Carta... Holy Grail by Jay-Z

good kid, m.A.A.d. city by Kendrick Lamar

Yeezus by Kanye West

Did they deserve it? Hell no. Why? Anyone who hasn't sat down and listened to K. Dot's good kid, m.A.A.d. city must not be a fan of good hip-hop or music in general. GKMC is not only a genius debut album, but it's also considered a short film set on the streets of Compton and it immerses the listener into Kendrick's world. The Heist is a pretty good album, too. In fact, there are deeper cuts than "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" that are actually really eye-opening (see: "Wing$" and "Jimmy Iovine"). And for it to be independently distributed and sell 136,000 more copies than GKMC is actually really amazing and very admirable. However, when it comes down to overall content and cohesiveness, this is Kendrick's award. This is actually the award that Macklemore wanted Kendrick to win and even felt that Kendrick had been robbed of this particular GRAMMY (there's text message proof of this). Also, Yeezus was better than The Heist. Past overlooked nominees: Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor and The Roots' Game Theory lost to Ludacris' Release Therapy (2007)

Best New Artist

Nominees:

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

James Blake

Kendrick Lamar

Kacey Musgraves

Ed Sheeran

Did they deserve it? They should've tied. Why? Macklemore & Ryan Lewis had a huge year in 2013, with a couple of major hits, and became a household name across the United States in such a short amount of time. Something that probably helped them earn this award is what they've done in hip-hop, which is breaking barriers and showing their huge support to the LGBT community via "Same Love," which is highly commendable, especially in the hip-hop/rap community. Now, I say "sort of" because I honestly felt that Kendrick truly deserved this award. Like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, he bursted onto the scene out of nowhere and because he became arguably the best MC of 2013. He was featured on so many albums in the past year that it was difficult to find a huge artist he hasn't worked with. From A$AP Rocky to Kid Cudi to Robin Thicke to Eminem to J. Cole. K. Dot was easy to find. However, this category tends to be overlooked quite often and given to the wrong act (Milli Vanilli, anyone?) so in some unfortunate and weird way, it was inevitable. Past overlooked nominees: Boyz II Men lost to Marc Cohn (1992), Fiona Apple and Erykah Badu lost to Paula Cole (1998), Jill Scott lost to Shelby Lynne (2001), 50 Cent lost to Evanescence (2004), Drake and Mumford & Sons lost to Esperanza Spalding (2011), Frank Ocean lost to fun. (2013)

So, how many awards did Macklemore & Ryan Lewis really deserve? One. Maybe two. How many did Kendrick deserve? Also, one. Maybe two.

But do GRAMMYs really matter? They do, but they don't. It really depends on you; the fans. Some see it as the most prestigious award an artist can receive and some just see it as another award. For me, I agree that the GRAMMYs are a big deal, but I'm honestly just happy for both acts. Not only were they newcomers to the GRAMMYs this year, but they were both up for seven awards each, right behind Jay-Z's nine and tied with Pharrell and Justin Timberlake, all of whom are veterans at the GRAMMYs. They've made an imprint in music this past year and they've been getting recognition and other accolades for doing so (both acts have 13 other awards). On one hand, you have a duo from Seattle who made it big with no record label and still continue to thrive in the music industry. On the other hand, you have an MC who made it out of Compton, was basically discovered and eventually produced by Dr. Dre (a mentor to Eminem who eventually became the best-selling rapper of all time), and compiled one of the best hip-hop debut albums of all time.
