its a barbie world and nicki minaj and the red head run it

this has been quite the pairing.
the one on the left i’m still confused about.
the one on the right can get annoying when she gets grumpy.
when nicki minaj and ice spice paired up for “princess diana“:

…i still say that nicki was the main draw.
the song is “eh” but nicki made lunch out of it.
when i heard their next pairing,
“barbie world” for the barbie soundtrack was going to be 2 minutes,
i was not expecting greatness whatsoever.
well…

was 1999 when america was the last “great” time?

randomly,
i decided to put on christina aguilera’s debut album last night.
i haven’t heard it in a while but i still knew every song word for word.

“Come on over,
come on over baby…” – track 5

“When you put your hands on me,
I feel sexy and my body loses control…” – track 9

“Caught up in emotions,
I’m out of control,
Isn’t it obvious…” – track 12

when her album came out,
i was a kid and my mother was still alive.
we were living in a bomb crib and rent was cheap for 3 bedrooms.
fast food tasted better,
the future seemed brighter,
and the only “social media” was sneaking into her aol account.
’99-2000 was probably the best time in my life but i had to wonder…

black mirror predicted this ai sh*t but we weren’t listening (we hearing now tho)

black mirror was onto something.
that show continues to be ahead of its time.
one day,
there will be no use for humans anymore.
like in those futuristic movies,
it will a wasteland where everything is run by machines.
you’d think humans would realize the terror in that but nope

We like to run toward danger and be confused when it bites back.

lately,
some of our favs have been singing other people’s songs.
foxhole…

busta rhymes said put your hands where his eyes can see (and not on his ass)

i have never heard his first album but it was pretty good.
the power of streaming services.
the following is the perfect example of boundaries.
i don’t know why this she-jackal thought it was a good idea to do this.
she wanted to get busts’s attention so she grabbed…
his ass??
he reacted and well…

joe budden said ya’ll know beyonce last album was trash and the hive knew it too

joe budden has had some really interesting takes as of late.
first,
the whole ( x “i’m was only joking about bisexual” ).
secondly,

renaissance“,

remember when ballads would make or break someone’s singing career?

as a millennial,
we could not avoid ballads growing up.
omg,
remember when they would play “my heart will go on” EVERYWHERE?
everyone who could sing,
talk-sing,
or saaaaang always ended their albums with a ballad.
even madonna and britney were doing ballads.
i have a shit ton of ballads i love but my stand out favs:

i can listen to them on repeat all day.
yesterday,
i was up until 5 am and i decided to be productive.
jamari was ( x listening to this playlist ) while organizing his closet by colors,
shades,
and patterns.
as i was listening,
i had a question pop through my mind…
