    Black and Yellow
    « on: January 03, 2011 - 11:13:32 AM »
    hey guys..

    Now i know this won't be up most of your alleys.. but, as one who loves music, my playlist goes from everything from sinatra to stevie ray vaughn to jay z..

    anyways, theres a new top rap song, called black and yellow.. which is in reference to the dude's car, and also hometown sports team... i thought it might just be a local phenom, but i guess it's picking up nationwide..

    oh.. and he's car is a new SRT Challenger..."no keys, push to start"

    Sooner or later there'll be a song...Silver and black are back!

    And it would look better on a car also.

    Baggy pants that look like he sh!* himself? check!
    Fake Rolex (ya, can tell just by the video) - check!
    grabbin his 'junk' - check!
    unoriginal, tone-deaf, generic jibbering - check!

    If you're going to do generic and unoriginal with a MoPar twist, at least watch a black '70 Cuda racing through the post-apocolyptic desert to some 80's hairband rock
      (ok, I admit it - it's on my iPod)

    see comments like that is why i was hesitant to post something like that on here..

    but i hope it makes feel good to judge other people..

    hopefully, your the rest your ipod is full of music that is not generic and orginal and doesn't sound like most of the crap that come the majority of def leopard wannabes...

    oh and by the way..  "Wiz Khalifa's breakout single "Black and Yellow" has hit that milestone, jumping this week from gold to platinum with total sales of 1.2 million.

    This is also the week that "Black and Yellow" cracks the Top 10. Last week it dropped a notch from No. 11 to No. 12. Today, the song is sitting at No. 6, just behind the likes of Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and P!nk.

    Meanwhile, Wiz is back from a West Coast trip in which he hit the studio (very smoky ones) with both Snoop Dogg and The Game to work on his Rostrum/Atlantic debut, which is due in the spring."

    i would be willing to bet that pretty maids never pulled those type of numbers

    Trut told, I had never even heard of "Pretty Maids' before Dee Snider played that very song on House of Hair, and mentioned the Cuda in the video.  I also saw that the song you posted was #5 of the top 100 of 2010...an impressive feat, admittedly - but you also added the Caveat in your opener that this would not be 'up most of [our] alley' so if an old fart like me wants to pull up that guys pants and turn his ballcap to face forward, you were prepared for that - or a least should have been.

    To further my point about generic, these rap/hip hop singers all sound so much alike that they feel that in order for the listener to know which cliche they are, they have to yell their own names at the beginning of all of their songs (Akon, Sean Kingston, I'm looking at YOU!)

    Not to derail the thread, and go on a rant, but to me 'hip hop' is a swahili word for 'I have no original talent so will steal..err.."sample" music from the 80's that my fans are too young to have heard, and make it sound like it's my own creation". 

    Edge of Seventeen becomes Bootylicious
    Every Breath You Take is now about some bloated dead guy
    hell, some ass-clown even redid an Ozzy song!

    When I caught Air Supply all "Honda'd up' a while back, I just called an end to civilization as I knew it, and crawled back into my narrow-minded, closed-off, one dimensional, opinionated, judgemetal cuccoon and closed the door. 

    But that's just me - I certainly don't begrudge you from having a more open palat for such things - enjoy all of the variety that life offers.

    Whenever that song comes up on the iPod, I always think of the video where he pulls the Chally onto the street & pounds it. :cheers:  I'd say that Wiz isn't doing too bad for being 24...The first song I heard by him was "Say Yeah" and thought that we'd be hearing about him again in the future.

    I like Wiz...

    Music is like everything else...  everyone has an opinion.  I have buddies that are Chevy guys.  They bust my stones about Mopars routinely. 

    The new Mopars don't really do it for me.  I'd have loved it if Wiz was driving something OLD, but that's just me.

     :2thumbs: Hell boys, I'm an old fart of 64 1/2 years, I'm not a rap rat but any man singing about Challengers and my STEELERS is just fine, I should have been notified, he could have used my 70 Charger 500 in his vid, FY1 with black bumble bee stripe from the factory, I also got STEELER dice hanging from the rear view. I gues it was the subject matter for me, but I sure liked it  :2thumbs: at least he wasn't "MFin" every other breath.............good on him.  :2thumbs:

    Just wait until MEK sees this, he'll be break dancing to this tune dude.  :clapping:  :roflsmiley:  :2thumbs:
