YouTube Meoldy - Edition Three - September 2 2013


#1 Rap & Hip-Hop: Drake – Started From The Bottom

First off, I wanna mention that right in the middle of the song, there’s an entire minute of two fucking idiots that I guess are supposed to be Drake’s friends try to hit on this girl….. very badly. For no fucking reason, there’s a full minute of the video that’s some dumb bastard staring at a chicks breasts trying to talk her back to his place. Well, I guess it was better than the song. Alright fine I’ll talk about this “music.” So, you read the title of the song up there yes? Okay good that’s 80% of the lyrics. No I’m not kidding. Damn near every line in this song is “Started from the bottom now we’re here” Or “Started from the bottom now my whole team fuckin here.” Because it just wouldn’t be wrap if he didn’t say fuck way too much.

This is just really really awful. Don’t listen to it.


#2 Top Tracks: Eminem – Berzerk

I know a lot of people feel strongly about Eminem, some feel strongly that he’s a super talented guy that’s been through some shit in his life, but he’s genuine and he makes good music. And some other people feel like he’s the devil. I’ve never really liked most of his music, but I have always thought that he was talented. Eminem is one of the best people there is at talking. He is very good at being able to say precisely what he means, or being able to say a given thing in a multitude of ways. He’s openly admitted reading the dictionary before and it’s apparent when you listen to him that this guy knows his way around the English language.


So this particular song, well, I’m not in love with it. I don’t like the constant shifting between his normal voice and the higher pitched one. Then a bit later they toss in some deeper stuff too. I also found it was somewhat difficult to be able to understand what he was saying do to the speed at which he spoke and his accent and slanting of words.


It’s not terrible, but at the end of the day I still feel how I always have about Eminem, I respect his ability to say what he wants to say, I just rarely care about what it is he’s saying.


#3 Electronic: Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks

By now you’ve probably heard this song even if you aren’t aware of the fact. This song was hugely popular when it came out, and to this day still has a fairly large contingent it should have to or else it wouldn’t be on the front page of music.


So my thoughts, it’s alright. I feel about this song the same way I don’t about a lot of rap songs actually, I only like the chorus. The chorus is done with a different style it’s slower than the verses and the verses all song like the singer is singing through an intercom which I find to be annoying where the chorus sounds like a live performance in a coffee house of something like that and it’s very pleasant even if it is about a school shooting…. Wait you didn’t know that? He’s telling the other kids to run from his gun and bullet what the hell else is this about?


#4 Country: Taylor Swift – Red


Before I talk about this actual song, I first want to point out that Taylor swift was the artist for 5 of the 9 listed country songs; that’s 56%. Just wanted to point that out.


Oh quick let’s play a game guess what this song is about! Yup, it’s about a boy, how did you know? Oh what’s that? That’s all Swift ever writes about ever? Well by gosh you’re right. Even the songs that aren’t entirely central to boys certainly take care to mention them, I’m starting to feel like Swift really needs to have a good hard fucking. I’m not trying to be rude about it here, I’m just thinking this woman has some real issues if all she can ever think about is boys, maybe if one of them could show her a good night she might finally be able to think about literally anything else.


The song, yeah it’s okay. Nothing really wrong with it but it stands out to me in absolutely no way what-so-ever.


At least Swift knows how to manage herself on stage though, not like our next performer.


#5 Top Track: Miley Cyrus – We Can’t Stop

Oh, this is gonna be fun. And not for the reason that you think it will be.


Alright so, if you weren’t aware, this song is fairly controversial right now. Most of the controversy relates to one particular line in the song and the exact wording used.  Originally there was some speculation about what it said and the song’s producer claimed the line was ‘Dancing with Miley.’ That would have been the end of it if Miley herself had not later come out and told us all that yes the line is indeed ‘Dancing with Miley’ …… sorta. “It depends on who’s doing what. If you’re aged ten it’s ‘Miley’, if you know what I’m talking about then you know. I just wanted it to be played on the radio and they’ve already had to edit it so much.” For those of you wondering, the actual lyric here for those aged eleven or older is ‘Dancing with Molly’ Molly being a slang term for MDMA or ecstasy. So yeah drugs are a thing is the song. What I don’t get is why everyone is flipping their shit about this line, but nobody cares about the coke reference that isn’t cutely covered up.  “And everyone in line in the bathroom, trying to get a line in the bathroom” If someone’s trying to get a line in the bathroom, it’s not a line of sharpie ink cause they’re gonna write on the stall, it’s a line of coke.


I want to point out another lyric that’s less controversial but always makes me smile. “Remember only God can judge ya, forget the haters cause somebody loves ya.” The second part of that line is a great message. Don’t concern yourself with haters cause they just wanna make you feel bad for no justifiable reason; focus on the people who care about you. Great message. The first part of that line….. hahaha. I’m not religious, but I know a few things about God, and he would judge your drug addicted harlot ass worthy of burning in hell for about the next eternity.


So the actual song itself? Well it just seems kind of off to me. The lyrics are all talking about how it’s their party, and you can’t stop their party, they’re gonna party if they want to, and there’s nothing you can do about it. But the tone of the music is all soft of chilled out and slow. The only way I could believe this song is the theme of a raging party is if it’s a raging party right after everyone took heroine;  which wouldn’t be surprising considering they’re already on ex and coke! For anyone who didn’t get the last joke, heroine is a depressant.

At the end of the day it’s not terrible, it’s just not really any good either.


One final point, as much as I’m loathe to ever complement a Disney star for anything ever, I do want to give kudos to Miley for one thing she said “I just think the world is so lame because you can shoot people in a movie and you can let someone like Zimmerman off on trial but you can’t have someone go like this [Miley makes a gesture to simulate oral sex], that is so dumb to me … The world is such a fucked up place the last thing people need to worry about is my cute little video for We Can’t Stop, you know what I mean?”

Well fuck, now I feel bad for making fun of her. By the way the story I pulled the quotes from is here if you're interested:
