HEY! Did you forget about Nicki Minaj?

February 8th, 2012 | Posted by marksuknanan in gossip | music - (0 Comments)


Did you forget that Nicki Minaj performed with Madonna at the Superbowl? Well it seems like everyone did! The singer was outshined by M.I.A.’s recent middle finger stint and I’m sure felt a little “left out”. On Nicki Minaj’s blog “My Pink Friday.com” she revealed that she is performing a new song called “Roman Holiday” at the Grammy’s and then the next day she’ll be dropping a new single called “Starships”. Looks like Nicki Minaj is on the grind, and I ain’t mad.

After weeks of hating on her single “Stupid Hoe”, I regret to inform you that I now know the first verse after listening to it. DAMN. Anything new from Nicki Minaj is usually amazing so I can’t wait to hear what she comes up with for her new stuff. I am theorizing that she is going to keep to her ‘hard’ rap alter-ego Roman for the entire album which is good!

I had the feeling that she was feeling a bit outshined because of the recent news of her new stuff plus lets face it, other then her video being banned from BET she hasn’t made that much news headlines. But it’s a good thing because we can all maintain a mutual respect for Ms Nicki Minaj!

Now, how about you announce that tour!

SUPERBOWL HALF-TIME SHOW REVIEW!

February 6th, 2012 | Posted by marksuknanan in gossip - (0 Comments)


Last year I did a video review of the Black Eyed Pea’s performance but this year I’m in a totally different setting where I can’t even make a video, makes me kind of sad. However last night Madonna hit the stage for the Superbowl half-time show with guests Cee-Lo, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and LMFAO. A perfect combo to relate to the wide spread audience that would be watching, come on everybody knows about the Party Rock Anthem.

Right off the top Madonna entered a gladiator themed stage-set up with Vouge. All what I have to say is that girl knows how to make an entrance! Madonna then went into singing Music (one of her more popular songs in the 2000′s) and continued on with Give Me All Ur Luv featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Madonna also performed Party Rock with LMFAO and Open Your Heart/Living on a Prayer with Cee-Lo. The performance ROCKED the stadium and I must say that I wasn’t that dissapointed.

But just for negativity sake let’s point out some flaws:

Madonna missed a step: Right as Madonna was going onto the “bleacher” type type, she lost her balance and almost fell. Why Madonna is awesome? She didn’t fall and didn’t miss a beat.

M.I.A. giving the finger: The BEST part of the entire performance is when someone you collaborated with messes up everything. When M.I.A. finished her verse, she flipped off the camera kind of like she does in the video. The hand-gesture caused the NFL and NBC to have to issue an apology.

Lip-sync heaven: EVERYTHING WAS LIP SYNCED. Apparently there is a rumour going around that if you perform the Superbowl you must lip sync. But I don’t think that is true. Last year, the Black Eyed Peas didn’t lip sync…so what does that say to you?

All-in-All I was thoroughly entertained and it wasn’t horrible!

M.I.A. shows up in TWO new videos today!

February 3rd, 2012 | Posted by marksuknanan in music videos - (0 Comments)

  M.I.A. is making her comeback to the mainstream. The singer just released a power anthem called “Bad Girls”. The song is heavily influenced by M.I.A’s roots, and wouldn’t do bad in the club. The chorus features infectious lyrics like ” Live Fast, Die Young, Bad Girls Do It Well” and depending on how many people start buzzin’ about this video; it might become one of the best videos of 2012! Throughout the video we see the controversial singer do some choreography, and just bring that unique swag that we all love! After writing about Kanye West’s middle eastern music video, I think M.I.A just beat him to it.

AND THEN THERE WAS THIS! Madonna just dropped a video for her song “Give Me All Your Luvin” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. The video has a heavy housewife football theme throughout to tease her upcoming Superbowl performance. The video gets really good after the 2 minute mark, Nicki Minaj drops a verse in her Roman alter-ego then M.I.A. just slays her verse. I think we need to take Madonna out of the occasion because she was out-shined by these two. I give it 4 years before M.I.A. and Nicki do a watch the throne type of album together!

SLEIGH BELLS=EPIC.

April 3rd, 2011 | Posted by marksuknanan in music - (1 Comments)

BAD ASS is all I have to say. Sleigh Bells album “Treats” is EPIC. This bad-ass duo brings back that old-school M.I.A style with EDGE to it. Members Derek and Alison come together to make some of the most hypnotic beats any of us have ever heard. There is no denying that their beats and style are so effective to make-up one of the best albums to be released last year. IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING…this band comes right out of Brooklin, N-Y and they SHOULD be on your iPod.

DO IT and listen to this…
