The A.KOR stanning Slay a bit, I like them, but I don't really use Always.
Nah, I don't really stan them, I just think the hate they get from Blackjacks is pathetic, so I needed to go a bit in the opposite direction when talking about them. That said I DO think Always is great, and Kemy is quite competent at rapping.

I think it's from the urban legend about how you can never stand an egg on its tip except for during the equinox. I've heard weirder band names! Anyways I'm sure the artist has explained why he chose that name, but the song is so boring that I'm really not interested in finding out more about them, haha
Let's see if I can finish the English #13-11s today.

Vibrato is great! I had no idea people were so meticulous about controversy/concepts. I thought it was pulled off well, and the song itself is really cool.
I wonder how many ice cubes the staff for this video needed on hand to keep every female actor's nipples nice and perky for each and every last shot of this music video? I'm assuming the directors chose this because they couldn't fill the video up to the teat with any actual Tarantino-esque violent Grindhouse content, so they decided to compromise by filling it up with, well, teats. The result is actually pretty vanilla, oh well. Guess it still works out: It's good to know Rih understands well that some people deserve to be terrorized and have the snot beat out of them. I was worried she was one of those softies who disagreed with this truism! Shame on me.
Also good to know Rih's music is just as delightfullycrap as it has been for the past few years. I'd re-iterate just why trap sucks here but Rihanna gives me a great idea for what I can say instead whenever I have nothing noteworthy, novel, or interesting on my mind:
Oh, lyrics that are beyond trite and overdone? So very much you can predict them before they're sung: I wasn't expecting that.
Oh, a video plot ripped straight out of a Hallmark flick? The wife dies in the end, ain't life a bitch: I wasn't expecting that.
Oh, recounting every puerile experience of some anonymous couple? No thanks, I have my own troubles: I wasn't expecting that.
Oh shit, the wife has cancer? Way to make the song completely melodramatic: I legitimately wasn't expecting you to actually mention this in the song, who needs subtlety, right?
Oh, a "hammered in for you idiots" title-slash-hook? So obvious and repetitive it was ripped from a Dr Seuss book: I wasn't expecting that.
asdfkadfj BBHMM was cacophonous in all the wrong ways but it was still the best thing she did this year (which is... sad when you really think about it).
And re: a previous update that Standing Egg band is just
13. Nicki Minaj ft Drake, Lil Wayne - Truffle Butter
Thank god, a rap song with a bit of speed. Trap sucks with its general creepiness and 50BPM tempo, but luckily Nicki and company reverse that awful trend by picking up the pace and remixing the Windows XP startup sound into the beat of this song. I guess this sort of makes up for the godforsaken awfulness of their other collaboration Only from earlier this year, believe me when I say THAT would've had a great chance for #1 on my Worst list, only problem is it charted a bit too early and therefore was ineligible for it. Oh well, consider yourselves lucky, Minaj fans. While I'm sort of upset about the loss of literary gold (Read diarrhea.) that write-up could've provided, the despair over that is almost outweighed by the enjoyment I get from Truffle Butter.
12. Taylor Swift - Style
Swift's 1989 played out a bit more like a Goldilocks scenario than any actual statement, a lot of "too stupid and obnoxious", "too distant and aloof", (Whoever thought Taylor Swift and trap percussion would be a good fit was a moron.) but this is just right. Style was Taylor's first real success at shrugging off the sweetheart image and showing off her sexiness in her music, and it proves that showing, not telling your audience, translates most clearly. She spent 3/5ths of the era unconvincingly calling out her various critics, but the narrative in Style effortlessly encapsulates her image shift. Throw it on top of a cool backing that shifts from slinky to glamorous and it makes for Taylor's best single since You Belong With Me.
11. Big Data ft WhiteSea - The Business of Emotion
Rip off some industrial music textures, some pedal-point harmony from metal, and some pop writing sensibility. You'd want to put the backing ahead of the vocalists too, if you made something this unique. Business of Emotion is a pop song at its core, but it's pretty left-of-centre. This is where pop music SHOULD be going, more bombastic, heavier, and in your face, instead of the limp music that's being put out nowadays that tries to appeal to everyone by either incorporating trap or whatever happens to be trendy or offend no one by marketing itself as aural wallpaper. I also like the melody to this a lot: Reminds me of something SISTAR might sing if they weren't too preoccupied with packaging their asses in hot pants along with a "perfunctory summer K-Pop groove ver 3.0" every time it gets hot out.
I'll ignore some of the shade in its writeup, but YAY for Style. It really is one of her best singles, possibly ever and captures her... style perfectly, a great direction for the future Taylor.
I would say that "Business of Emotion" wasn't a hit (though it really should have been), but you think that I'm going to disparage that song when it's at the exact same spot for you as it is for me? Come on. That song is awesome.
Slay a bit, I like them, but I don't really use Always.
Style is good! just like all the singles from her album, and I used to be a hater lol
@ Big Data, didn't know you liked them. That's a great song!
