Adem!!! Licks Toilets, Performs New Single on Kardashians
Last night Adem!!! had a performance in a very unconventional place: on popular E! reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The family decided to enslave… I mean, rent Adem!!! for the day, and when he was finally done cleaning the toilet seats in their 20 bathrooms with his tongue and being used as an ottoman while they discussed how pretty they are, they decided to have the poor peasant entertain them while they sat by the pool, ignoring him and taking Instagram selfies with pretentious filters.
Adem!!! performed his lead single, OMG (What Would You Do). Backup dancers did synchronized swimming in the pool while Adem!!! sang, walking around and grooving. One swimmer came in at a time until they were all in at the second chorus. At each chorus a giant burst of yellow and orange glitter, confetti and silly string shot out through the air. The Kardashians didn’t notice until five minutes after Adem!!! was done, when they made him clean everything up. He gave them 20 copies of his debut album, For The Sky, which they used as coasters for their martinis. When asked about what Adem!!! thought about performing for the Kardashians, he said “Undisclosed”.
Ellen Interview
Ellen: Welcome, Adem! Or should I say, Adem!!!? hehehe
Adem!!!: Hahaha you’re funny, Ellen!* It’s great to be here, I can’t believe it!
Ellen: Well, your debut album, For The Sky, has been skyrocketing up the charts lately. People like your new approach to the current pop style on the charts right now. Or should I say, styles. Your album was really all over the place. What was the cause of that?
Adem!!!: Well, I have a really wide range of influences. So some days I would go into the studio and say, “I want to make a slow ballad” and other days I would go in and say “I want to make a dance-y, trashy song”. And rather than try to make something cohesive I wanted to make a collection of the best songs possible. I didn’t want to sacrifice good tracks because they didn’t “fit” with the album.
Ellen, Ah, I see. Speaking of dance-y, trashy songs, your debut single Oh Em Gee has been everywhere lately. It really lacks the interesting lyrics that you’ve shown you can make on the rest of the album. Why is that?
Adem!!!: Well, in my opinion not every song is about lyrical depth. For a really good, fun pop song, you don’t want lyrics that make you think. You want lyrics you can mindlessly sing along to in the car with the windows rolled down with a group of friends and a beer in the glove compartment. It took just as much effort to write as the rest because I had to make it fun, I had to make it a good time.
Ellen: Yes. And then there’s that one really old-sounding song… what is it called?
Adem!!!: Suspect Number One?
Ellen: Yes, that one. That’s really left field on the album too, it kinda comes out of nowhere. It seems to be a fan favorite. Why did you write that?
Adem!!!: Well, a friend of mine asked me to write a song for them. They wanted something more film noir at the time, so I got to work and spent the day making this song. When I sent it to them they actually turned it back and said they didn’t want to use it. I really liked the feel of the track and so I didn’t want to waste it, I threw some vocals over it and put it on the album.
Ellen: They’re probably regretting they didn’t take the track now, eh?
Adem!!!: Hahaha, yeah.**
Ellen: So you mentioned earlier you have a lot of influences. Who would those influences be?
Adem!!!: Well, everything I’ve ever listened to has influenced me. I never go into the studio and say “I want this track to sound like this person” but definitely there are a lot of different styles and artists making my music how it is today. Unlike a lot of people my age I love old 50’s music like Cole Porter and Frank Sinatra. The musicality shown in those songs is like nothing else from any other era or style. That’s really why I had that New York, New York cover at the end; it’s like a homage, saying that this is where my music is coming from.
Ellen: Well, it was very nice talking to you. Again, this is Adem!!!, whose new album For The Sky is in theatres…. I mean, stores now!
Adem!!!: Hahaha!***
Ellen: Well, thank you for coming, Adem!!!
Adem!!!: It was a pleasure, Ellen.
Ellen: Up next, this cat loves to swim…
*Adem!!! is lying, that joke was bad as ****
**no one is laughing, Ellen, stahp
***seriously, stupid bitch
Illuminati Conspiracy for Jeff Buddha
New star Adem!!! is nothing but more of the same; devil-worshipping and power-hungry. His newest video for Jeff Buddha has proved he is nothing but another pawn in the Illuminati’s plan to brainwash your children with subliminal messaging. The symbolism may be more discreet than your average Lady Satanga or Katy Village*****ry’s typical video but it is still very present and is still controlling the youth’s minds.
The video begins with Adem!!! and Gnesa (who is also a dirty, filthy *****, more on the subject later) acting like they are the kings of the hills, heads of the list, creams of the crop at the top of the heap. They are doused in what looks like ordinary wannabe-rapper “bling”, but at closer inspection Adem!!!’s chain has a pyramid on it and Gnesa’s earrings are in the design of two little round eyeballs. For whatever reason, both of these are signs of the Illuminati and somehow mind control viewers. It all makes sense somehow.
As soon as they enter the mansion the satanic noise (dare I call it music) begins to play and you can see inside the main room. You can see 7 doors, 7 candles and 7 specks of dust. on the camera’s lense. 7+7+7=777, which is the number of none other than Luciferihanna himself. Again, seeing this makes you worship Satan. Don’t think about it too much.
Throughout the video, everything but Adem!!! and Gnesa is completely frozen and unmoving, whether it be raindrops, a dog or a maid. This is a symbol of Jesus’ followers, who were immobile, while Satan’s followers could move. Trust me. And need we point out the fact that there’s a butterfly? Everyone knows butterflies are demonic.
My point? Follow Jesus and don’t listen to the demonic music of Adem!!!’s. And if you disagree with me, certainly don’t feel suddenly compelled to go buy his album for $7.99 on iTunes or Amazon including the hits OMG (What Would You Do) and Indistinguishable, along with his new single Jeff Buddha featuring pop princess Gnesa. Certainly don’t do it. xx
…
Oh, and Gnesa is a dirty, filthy *****.
Grammy Performance
Adem!!! opened the Grammys, conveniently moved to April this year, with a choice medley of his songs. He started off with new single Umami. As the first chord was played a spotlight slowly got brighter on Adem!!! and his piano. He sang the whole song like that, letting the emotion of the piece come through more. Around the halfway point of the song two more spotlights came up, on on each side, revealing two silk rope dancers, slowly spinning. At the last word, “clear”, the rest of the stage was lit up and an electric guitar began to play. Then suddenly all the instruments came in and Adem!!! began to talk to the crowd, hyping them up. This transitioned into OMG (What Would You Do) [with the second verse and third chorus cut out]. Background dancers were there but the main attention was on Adem!! dominating the stage, walking with energy back and forth across the stage to get everyone and yell-singing the lyrics. He really got the party started. That transitioned into a small bit of title track For The Sky, calming down the energy a bit. The silk rope dancers have still been going this whole time but the spotlight focuses more on them again for this number. With one last cymbal crash the opening performance is over.

Album Cover:
Jekyll and Hyde - by Gemini
My debut album is a two-disc eargasm. The album name is inspired by my artist name, Gemini. Being a Gemini, I have two personalities, there are two sides to every coin. Jekyll and Hyde, one of my favourite stories as child, fits my stage name perfectly, it's about a man who has two personalities inside himself, one a normal person, the other a beast. This is reflected in my work, the first disc being the dance-pop commercial side of me and the second being the ratchet, beast side inside of me, which comes out in the form of rapping over twerkable beats.
Track List:
Disc One - Jekyll
1. Make Me Feel
2. New Dawn Feat. Kanye West + Kylie Minogue
3. Reaching
4. I Love Money
5. Stomp The Floor
6. Nighttime
Disc Two - Hyde
7. Clapback Feat. Rihanna
8. Dat Good Dick
9. Twerk Berserk
10. Verbal Diarrhea (Shut Up) Feat. Azealia Banks
11. Who Is You?
12. Gaggin'
13. Mask (Jekyll and Hyde)
Singles:
#1
3:42 - Produced by Madeon + Diplo - Written by Gemini + Rihanna
The debut single utilizes the popularity of Rihanna to draw attention to album, Rihanna sings the chorus and Gemini rap's the verses. A twerkable clapping beat with a dance breakdown during the chorus, the song is infectious and rude. 'I see you up online, tryina front like you're on the attack, don't come for me lookin like that, bitch clapback *breakdown*'
#2
3:31 - Produced by Naughty Boy - Written by Bonnie McKee, Gemini, Ellie Goulding
The second single shows the softer, poppier side of the album. The instrumental is reminiscent of an edgier Teenage Dream. The song feels very British and fresh. The lyrics are more personal, about taking off your mask and showing your true self to the one you love. This is the most radio-friendly song on the album and definitely could be the biggest hit.
#3
4:21 - Produced by Major Lazer + Xenomania - Written by Kanye West, Gemini
The final single from the album is more experimental, Kylie sings the chorus whilst Kanye raps the verses and Gemini joins in with both. The song is reminiscent of All Of The Lights, it's commercial sounding, slightly dancey but with an edgier twist.
Promo:
Show #1 - Clapback premiere at the VMA's. Rihanna and Gemini have a twerk-off dance battle on stage and playfully insult eachother whilst performing the lyrics to the song. The ratchetness goes viral and the song shoots up iTunes into the top 10! #clapback #webadumad #butimsleeptho #allfillernocake #whowantmyprivilege
Show #2 - Mask performance at NYC G-A-Y. The fahgs all get on board and support me 'cause I love dick and plus gays are the most loyal fanbase. They love the song 'cause it's all about being yourself n all that jazz. I take over Times Square and perform the song 'causing wombs and ovaries all over America to quiver.
Show #3 - New Dawn at the Grammy's. Well duh I got nominated, so I show up with Kylie Minogue naked on a leash being walked in by Kanye West, then I come down from the ceiling on a giant model of the sun which fades into a moon. We perform and it's really controversial but everyone loves it. Get that critical acclaim !
Review:
"It's like Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, except good...." - Gemini burst onto the scene with several controversies and infectious anthems. Far from being shy and taking prisoners he made no secret of the fact he wanted to get noticed and make his mark. Many have tried the pop-rap double album before and flopped, but this is how you do it correctly! The album is backed by stellar collaborations and A-list producers and writers. This exciting new artist is definitely one to watch, unafraid and exhilarating this album is definitely 5 stars.

ME
Album Cover
Take a look into the world of ATRL's finest, Nicki Minaj, in his debut album "ME". Through the album, the artist takes you through the ATRL I Love Money roller coaster that they have encountered and prevailed from. We quoted from the artist, "The album cover is what I have been through." (in plain english, The album cover is a mash-up of all the "banners" I created or found from the challenges) The up's, the down's, the good, and the bad. You'll experience it ALL with Nicki.
You ready?
(Idk if you guys spot the Illuminati in the album cover, from the makeover challenge, you see the "Kavish" banner in 3 different places. What does it form?
An upside down cross
)
Tracklist
1. Don't Let The Wait Ruin You Ft. Rebecca Black (Single)
Cover
The opening track for the album, and the first single, features one-hit wonder Rebecca Black. In this fun quirky tune, the two simulate a rap battle, with Rebecca having a very Minaj-esque flow, while Nicki comes back with FIRE like Azealia. They two rap about to the time in between their struggles. The wait that the two have to cope with throughout everything.
2. Prostitute Flange Ft. ethan
This song is a remake of the 2007 song by rapper Lil Wayne. Nicki said he got inspiration for the song from hearing about a Prostitution ring being operated by a popular reality show host. Nicki felt as if ethan, the host of the show, did not really receive a fair chance to explain his side of the story. So Nicki took it upon himself, to use this time to create a good hit-track by spitting cool lyrics, and also letting ethan use it as a confessional.
3. Meltdown Madness
In this track, Nicki highlighted the multiple meltdowns that occurred from within the home. He took note of EVERY meltdown that ever happened in the home, and hopped on the instrumental of Mercy and slayed the competition. He even reflected on his own meltdowns.
4. Hold On
This is a track that is dedicated to everyone who had dropped out, or who had ever thought about dropping out of the game. The fun bouncy beat and light singing is an anthem boasting about the perks of the show and why you should "hold on"
5. Diablo. (Single)
Cover.
In this rage track, Nicki takes a jab at everyone that has ever crossed him. The simple, yet HARD powerful beat, and HARD dirty, grimy verses would have anyone shaken in their boots.
6. Versace (Freestyle)[Buzz Single] snippet (pause the above and play if desired)
Versace, Versace Them ATRL bitches ain't got nothing on me
Versace, Versace they talk all that ****, but nobody do nothing
Versace, Versace im coming for necks, and nobody gone stop me
Versace, Versace reportin' like none other, nobody on top of me
Nicki decided to follow in the steps of many others like Angel Haze, and create a Versace freestyle. The song was originally performed by Migos and Drake. A video was also released with this song with Nicki sitting in a gold chair, in the middle of a black room, spitting his verses with a straight face.
7. Runnin' (Interlude)
A beat that Nicki Minaj created himself. He sat down in front of a computer and piano, and literally put how he felt onto a musical staff. A nice transition from the grimy Versace rap to a poetic ending.
8. ME.
The title track, goes into the deep thoughts of Nicki, and you receive a feel of everything that goes through his head. He seems to ride the beat with an almost, poetic flow, letting you know about HIM, and everything he feels.
2014 USA Tour
MOI.
The tour is a simple 25 date tour that the artist embarks on around the USA. No matter the size of the venue, the artist has limited each date to only have 500 tickets. He wanted the tour to be more of a "listening session". Not to mention the tickets are 100% free. A donation link has been added to the artist website if a fan decides that they would like to help with his movement. The artist has also put together a set of meet and greets for the low price of $20. The artist feels as if they do not have to charge ridiculous prices to do shows. The artist also knows that his fans don't want to spend $1000 on a VIP package that doesn't even include a meet and greet.
Good Morning America
The new hit artist, Nicki Minaj, performs and interviews on GMA in NYC. The artist sits down and talks about his successful debut album, and how the tour has been going since it started. The artist is actually on a one week break before his next date at the 19,000 seat arena that has been topped out at a mere 500 seat standing area in front of the stage, his impact. Tickets for the show were reserved in less than 2.4 seconds. During his performance of, "Don't Let The Wait Ruin You", a convertible with 4 kids rolls up, with Rebecca Black in the back seat spitting her verse.
Video Music Awards
Nicki Minaj stunned and probably scared the world today with his first performance of his new single, Diablo. When the Host, Lady Gaga, announced the artist was coming out, her mic cut out and the entire venue went red. A screen then dropped down in front of the stage. As soon as the screen hit the stage the word, "DIABLO." was written on the screen in red letters. A huge black box was then rolled onto the stage. After a few minutes of complete silence, and utter confusion. Smoke started to erupt from the black box. The box then opened, and inside was Nicki, in a red studded and Swarovski crystal laced, straight jacket, sitting in a red chair. The beat then dropped, and the rest was history...
ME Review
Nicki Minaj decided to keep it short and uh.... "sweet" in his debut album, ME. The artist talks about things that went down in the home of a reality show he was involved in, and how he managed to have "ME" time in such a stressful environment. The 8 track LP that was released was everything and more we could ask for from an artist. Most artist like to fill up their fans with music, but in our eyes, it is not really needed for all those songs on an album. Because needless to say, you're gonna get bored after so long. With just 8 songs, we here at Billboard think that that is a perfect amount of songs to get a message through. The first track on the album, "Dont Let The Wait Ruin You" is a fun track that talked about how impatient people can be, and how it pays to just wait, cause "The best things happen to people who wait," raps Nicki. "Prostitute Flange" was more of a confessional for the host of the show he was on, ethan. He felt as if the host needed to clear some things up. We also add that this is a remake of one of Lil Wayne's song. The next track, "Meltdown Madness" highlights some of the meltdowns Nicki witnessed in the house, with the biggest being his own. We loved ALL the songs on this album, but if we had to put one on the bottom it would be, "Hold On". It was nice, but it just seemed as if it was a "Part 2" to "Don't Let The Wait Ruin You". Diablo. is easily the best song on the album. The beat, the lyrics, the flow, is impeccable. Not to mention that performance that was served to us not to long ago, #SLAYED. The next cover, "Versace" was a nice addition to the line up, who doesn't love a good Versace cover? (You heard Angel Haze's?) Last but not least, the title track, ME, pretty much sums up everything Nicki went through in a very poetic way, and we feel as if it was a perfect way to close a perfect album.

The MOI-nions
Pronounced like "Minions" but instead of Mi...its MOI. Which is French for ME. The entire movement I would try to promote would be just loving and caring for YOURSELF. Individuality would be my motto, and I would encourage all of my fans to be themselves. And to not let anyone tell them different.
"Never let anyone tell you who YOU are, YOU tell them who you are"
