With all the recent crazy about the Illuminati and how it is a secrete organization, with select people called the free masons, comes the topic the Illuminati controlling music. From the talks of JayZ with his famous Rockafella Symbol which just so happen to be in the shape of a Pyramid or more commonly known as an diamond. Or lady Gaga which slight sighing of The free mason symbols in the background of her stage performances and music videos. Who knows if this is really true, i believe its based on opinion and what people want to believe, but after all i do believe everything is controlled by something of a high power.
"The Illuminati wants my mind soul and my body, a secret society tryin' to keep their eye on me."
With the release of Late Registration Kanye's Sophomore Album came a more creative Album to add to the line up. Late orchestration, While there is nothing new on this cd kanye did manage to release this as a live Album. Whats so special about this album is that its captures the true essence of hip-hop music, music that is mastered in a studio but is transferred to a live performance with a full orchestra for the instrumentals and raw vocals. Hip-Hop rarely sees music such as this in this form, majority of it is the DJ spinning the cd while the artist raps over it, kind of point less and meaning less, but then again i guess as the spectator you do pay to see your artist in person. All in all this Album is great especially if you enjoy the sounds of violins and harps composed to elegant pieces of Hip-Hop
The release of Paramore’s junior alum “Brand new eyes” begins a lot of debate to my mind, considering I thought this would be the band to break the spell of Fueled by ramen’s 3rd album curse. It seems that all of this labels bands third album have been very weak compared to their freshman and sophomore albums. Never-the-less this album is not a complete fail like Gym class heroes junior album, there are some good songs, but I don’t think it stands as a solid album that could be on rotation for days at a time. Haley Williams the lead singer has a great voice as always, and in this album especially she showcases a lot of her versatilities vocally especially in her live performances. Although one thing I can say about the alum the band does great job as always with their melodies in majority of their songs, it’s always something catchy, something you can head nod to. Personally I would of loved to see more hype regarding this band much like the attention they had last year, infact I didn’t even know this album released when it did, I was weeks late upon discovering. This album indeed has some singles that I would consider good enough to hear radio play which are their current single “ Brick by boring brick” and another song I think will have success is “Careful” usually Paramore on has a couple singles that they release for public play. Over all I would say this Album is a 7/10 compared to their other alum’s in their genre of music.
The ever growing problem with those that are famous particularly Actors and Musicians face are paparazzi’s. It seems that no matter where you are as someone that famous you’re faced to battle against the paparazzi’s or give in and consent to them taking picture after picture, sometimes discrediting them. It’s been known that they can cause all kinds of havoc such as the incident with Princess Diana that many blame on the paparazzi’s. A lot say there should be something done to limit these people who take pictures. This problem is turning to a any mean necessary opportunity for people, invading privacy, jumping fences just to take a picture for a quick buck. Some of these people are not even professional photographers, merely just a random Joe with an expensive camera snapping photos. With that said, something should be done to allow the law to catch up with what these paparazzi’s are doing. There should be laws that restrict these people from making profit on their pictures unless at an event such as the Music awards.
A short film directed by Spike Jonez starring Kanye west showcases Kanye himself in a drunken state, one can clearly notices simply by the acting but much more by how the camera often fades in and out of blur. Many can interpret this short film in their own way, the way I’m perceiving it as throughout the film Mr. West is of course very drunk in a club setting surrounded by many people. Throughout the film you notice the song “See you In my nightmares” from Mr. West 808’s & heartbreaks album playing in the background setting the mood for the film. In the film you see kanye going though the club confronting various people and of course annoying them. Making his way though the club dancing, singing his own song, screaming, you can see that he is in a delusional state.Ttowards the end of the film kanye goes the bathroom where he throws up, naturally you would think he would upchuck what he has consumed but in the film he releases pink flowers, considering he has dealt with a lot of heartbreaks with people he has loved I would think the flowers represent happiness, all his happiness spewing out of him. Then he takes a knife and in a Japanese Kamikaze manner he stabs himself in the way they would if they have dishonored themselves or family, and more pink flowers spew from him. After stabbing himself he reaches inside himself and pulls out some kind of creature, one of the creatures from “Where the wild things are” and hands him a knife and gives him the ok to stab himself also in the same manner, I would say this is symbolizing kanye pulling out his ego and untimely killing it.

Hello! I would like to welcome everyone to my blog, this blogs main focus will be primarily music, mostly my taste and opinions on music I listen too or enjoy. I personally enjoy any and all music, mostly Hip-hop but I do believe no one should limit themselves to one type of music. Some could say that I like music too much, but I just think it’s the same love of music as an artist has for their creations with the exception that I do not make music. Not only do I enjoy music I could also say the overall style and thoughts of the artist who make the music play a big part, they not only inspire but create paths for newer generations to progress in music. There isn’t much I can say about how I relate too much but music is me, I’m usually never without music or thoughts about music. I feel that many “like” music but few have a passion for it and those that do perceive music in different ways then those who just “like” it. My main intentions for this blog is to give insight about how I feel about music, many may not agree with my choice of music or my opinions, not everyone can be pleased.
