Flashback: Ghetto Supastar - Pras feat. Mya & Ol' Dirty Bastard

25th September 2023.

Doja Cat is still hanging onto that #1 spot with 'Paint the Town Red', although there's a bunch of new songs which have rocketed into the top ten this week, so it'll be interesting to see what happens going forward. Will 'Paint the Town Red' remain in the top spot, or will one of the new contenders in Kenya Grace, Tate McRae, SZA, Drake, or Tyla, edge it out?

While we wait to find out, let's flashback twenty-five years to 1998 when the #1 song in the country was 'Ghetto Supastar' by Pras.

'Ghetto Supastar' was part of the soundtrack for the movie Bulworth by the way, which is why Halle Berry, Warren Beatty, and Oliver Platt are all wandering around in the music video.

The story behind the song is pretty interesting too: in 1997ish the members of the band the Fugees (Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras) all began working on solo projects. Wyclef Jean and Pras co-wrote 'Ghetto Supastar', pulling in 'Ol Dirty Bastard from Wu-Tang Clan and R&B singer Mya who had just released her own debut album.

The song samples Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' 1983 song 'Islands in the Stream' which peaked at #2, being kept off the top spot by Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl'.

I love Dolly's little "excuse me, Kenny!" and her subsequent giggle at 2:22 in this video. She's great! 'Islands in the Stream' was written by The Bee Gees and originally meant for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross, so there's a lot of star power behind the song.

And not only that, but 'Ghetto Supastar' also samples James Brown's excellent 'Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved' from 1970. Brown's highest charting song on the NZ charts was 'Living In America' which peaked at #5 in 1986.

But back to 'Ghetto Supastar' - it was incredibly popular, hitting #1 in nine countries and getting a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group, which it lost to Beastie Boys' 'Intergalactic' ('Intergalactic' peaked at #4 in the NZ charts and is Beastie Boys' highest charting single).

This was Pras and 'Ol Dirty Bastard's only #1, but Mya went on to score another two #1 singles. 'Ghetto Supastar' has become a fairly iconic song I would say, to the extent that the Bee Gees even incorporated the chorus into their version of 'Islands in the Stream' on their 2001 Greatest Hits compilation. And, Weird Al also included it in his polka-style medley 'Polka Power!' You know your song is big when Weird Al covers it.

See you next time when we'll see if Doja Cat can maintain the #1 spot for a seventh week!

Progress Checkup! (Aug. 2024) | Scratchin' Melodii Devlog

Hello again, strangers! I thought it was about time to add another devlog again! This time I'm trying out a more in-depth approach to this, to somewhat make up for the lack of gameplay previews. Let me know what you think!

For starters, I've revamped the rhythm system 🤯 (like... again! 🤯) Don't freak out, though. Surface level gameplay-wise, it works mostly the same as it did in the last demo, so you won't have to re-learn much. I just needed to redo some things so it'd be easier for me to work with in the long-run while developing the rest of the game. Way less headaches await me now when working on new levels. In the process, I was also able to incorporate some neat new aspects to it and make the core aspects of it better. If you're familiar with older rhythm games, it's now a tad closer to what the dog was doing.

The opponent's icon has been covered up to avoid spoilers. I might be updating all of the character icons soon, actually.

I still plan to revamp the game's tutorial at some point. Something I've noticed is that often, new players don't seem to understand the purpose of the beat dots. Initially, I thought the idea that "on the beat dot = on beat" would come as second nature to new players without need for explanation. However, I hadn't considered that many players are likely to be more familiar with rhythm games that don't even have beat dots in this manner, so they're probably inclined to focus more on getting as close as possible to matching the order of the suggested inputs, and in this game, even at the cost of being off-beat if they aren't keeping up. So, I think the most important thing I need to emphasize when I give a new in-game explanation of the mechanics is the beat dots and really getting new players into the mindset of prioritizing the tempo. I think I should also have the tutorial's gameplay portion try to discretely get the player used to the control scheme to help people who haven't particularly memorized where all of their controller's buttons are without looking. This'll probably result in the tutorial song shown in the demo being replaced in the full game. I do still like its instrumental though, so maybe that will be repurposed for another game feature, at least.

There's probably some guy out there who just REALLY loves Astral Advisory as the tutorial song that will be very upset to hear this. In solidarity with them, I've depicted their enthusiasm with this rather silly image I've created.

As for other levels, now that I've got the updated rhythm system up and running, the 3rd rival battle of act 2 is almost complete. If you didn't like the Pow-Notes in Supastar Tennis, you might not like me very much after this! So far, I think this level has some of the best and most ambitious animation work I've done yet, so I hope you'll look forward to it. Not sure when I'll show a gameplay preview of this level, but I probably will at some point.

Also, I've made a new logo for the game! I'll gradually be phasing this one in to replace the old one, but until the full game releases you'll probably still see the old one hanging around too in some places.

That's all I can talk about for now, but thanks for reading! - LJ

so i uh i uh had this au idea- completely indulgent on my part- it literally has no plot, when i had the idea i sent this barely comprehensible paragraph to my friend, i had to make sure SOMEONE got it

the paragraph in question:

  “ au au wher harry is a washed up superstar an kim was in a undrground rock band an harry was in the audience where they were playing their last song at- anb then he hears that they ar disbandingfd an after th show harry goes up 2 kim an is lik "i actually know a thing or 2 abt music- we shoul totally play 2gether or somthjsin" kim refuses- later he goes back 2 that local bar he an his band played at- jus to get a drink and the bar does karaoke nights and low n behold harrys on stage singin his heart out- kim takes note of this and like "wow hes actually pretty good' and after his musical numbr he sits down at the bar, kim then goes to sit next 2 him and talk 2 him. they chat it up then kims like "hey do you know (incert song name here)?" harry nods and hes like "yes why?" kim then drags him ovr 2 the kareoke machine an shoves a mic in his hand ands like "duet?" with a smirk and harrys al;l like "you bet" with his typical shit eating grin an and and”

idea for the whole amnesia thing in this au would be something along the lines of the game, waking up from a bender and having no clue who he is, but putting together the clues that he *was* a ‘supastar’ and still thinks he is but alas he is out of the spotlight and has been for years. Wandering about he sees a flyer advertising a bands final performance at a near by bar, harry goes out of shear curiosity etc etc  they sing together and blah blah blah stereotypical music au. in conclusion, i am so sane and normal. 

here are they fits: ther ar 2 wolves inside of you and they ar both madly in lov
