Sometimes I wonder, what is wrong with the world?

I'm gonna warn you right from the start. This is gonna be one big, long and foul mouthed angry rant on today's popular music and some from a couple of years ago. In this post I'm going to show you some of the worst rapings of great music and potential ever. So brace yourself for anger in it's purest form.

The first example I'm going to talk about is bye a singer named JoJo whom I have no clue of who is. I have not heard of her outside of the sampling hell she made on her second album on the song Anything from her album The High Road. I remember hearing this song at a birthday party in ground school on the radio and I was amazed that anybody was allowed to try and kill the best piece of music ever written. Some might already have figured out that this bitch sampled Africa by ToTo in her song. How dared she even think about it.

If you could even dream up the thought of trying to make Africa better you should at least try to keep it simple or maybe even just take some small bites, and in small bites I mean instruments or small parts of the song and put it into your song but ooohhhh Noooooo JoJo didn't wanna be to subtle. The first thing you hear on the track is the best chorus ever written. And that chorus is morphed into her stupid lyrics about stupid shit and while she's singing you hear the drum/perc track in the background all along. This makes me sick. She hasn't got the coolness or abilities to pull of such a stunt, and don't tell me that she was under contract or shit like that cause that's BS. If she thought it sounded bad she could have refused to do it. I am dazzled by this song every time I even think about it. How dare take something as pretty, beautiful, dream like and perfected as Africa and put it into your shitty early 2006 pop with no substance to it what soever, I can't wrap my head around it. This shows a complete lack of respect for the artists and musicians who were in the past.

That last point is kind of the point of this post. Everybody is forgetting how good it could be and keep on sucking up to shitty singers and there terrible music. I have no beef with popular music in general. There has always been something for the musically dumb people and that is just fine. And every decade the sound and music style seems to change from boy bands to house music and so on. But the way that people just eat it raw and don't care how bad it is, is sick. Here in Denmark we have had the worst musical scene for at least 14 years in the world when you look at it from a popular standpoint. Talent shows where bad talent sings bad songs and get a record deal haven't helped at all, so now brain dead music is easier to make money of. Good musicians don't wanna play in talent shows cause they know it's for stupid people only so it kills the business. I do though have some respect to the guys who write some of the popular music coming out of The US. Those Swedish masterminds who earn millions off of every Katy Perry or Rihanna hit are brilliant businessmen but sometimes and just can't take the stupidity of everybody els around the world loving everything because the think they have to.

One of the newest occasions of rape came out in 2013 and it was the song Feel This Moment by Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera. Pitbull is a shit filled midget who can't sing, dance or write music. His low voice and Hispanic accent is stupid as fuck and the lyrics he sings are a stereotypical rap wannabe styled mess of Spanish and English. Ooohhh he looks tough with women, money and suits, yeah he dos when he's going to the strippers knees standing on his toes. But in Feel This Moment, he takes it to far out for me to let it pas bye. One of my favorite songs all time is Take On Me by A-ha, the band I call: the only good thing to ever come out of Norway. It was a smash hit back in 1985 and shows of one of the best vocal male performances ever. The chorus is fantastic and the hook is unforgettable. It has instant classic written all over it. When you take something as good as this song and use the hook to fill the dance floor on Ibiza you better be ready for the hammer to fall! 

Christina Aguilera was in my mind the sexiest women alive when Dirrty was launched in 2002 of the album Stripped. Holy fuck she was hot at that point and I will not deny that she can sing her ass of when she want's to and shake it off as well, but joining in on something as horrible as this is suicide. A song that rapes on of the best hooks in pop history shouldn't be touched with a 3 foot pole. Here we go again. No respect for what has been and why the has been was good. Let's take what we need and screw everything els. Who in their right mind would ever approve an idea like this? RCA are owned by Sony should have pulled the plug on Pitbull 5 or 10 years ago when Sean Paul finally got something close to canceled. But off course there money to be maid and all the idiots out on the dance floors around the world started dancing and unfortunately this trend of mindless pop seems to go one without an end.

All About That Bass......... All About That Bass! Holy fuck I hate that song. I thought at first that it was some low value song out some random studio in England and then I could tolerate the song cause of its lyrical message about being ok about your body. But it is just more of the same generic and repetitive crap that's all over radio right now. It is a stupid song with a bad musical backing. Straight out of the US with more of the same lame effects as Nicki Minaj uses.
Rude by Magic! is a bit different then the other songs here. I like the phrasing in the chorus but the reggae style song is pissing me of. reggae is the laziest style of music ever. It demands nothing at all in any way from the musicians. The lyrics don't even need to rime FFS. And that slow beat in Rude is driving me insane. The Zedd Remix on the other hand is good but the lyrics are still completely irrelevant. It's a problem when the only clue of what the words of the chorus are remembered by reading the title of the song. I always replace Rude with Cruel and that is just massed up. I don't think 95% of the people who listen to the song know that he's not singing to his girlfriend but his mother/father in law. WTF. And they didn't even write it themselves! 
Another song is Counting Stars  by One Republic. Boom they are back and have a big hit that they claim to have written themselves. HELL NO. That is the thing about good bands. They come back time after time with at least one good song on most of their albums. One republic was brought to life by Timberland and the they are back with a bang for no reason. And you're telling me that suddenly the write their own music. If that's true then i'm Bill Clinton. Call One Hit Wonders what they are. Don't try to cover it up by lying on Wikipedia.



Get a life and start listening to better music!
