Double M's Thursday Music News Report 10.15.09
Posted by Michael Melchor on 10.15.2009
The last time I may do this for a while, and I have to resort to rushing it. Still worth it for the announcement of a 411 Music mini-series, along with talk of the AMAs, Madonna/Eminem, Lil' Wayne, and Stupid Boy Soulja Boy...
The views and opinions expressed herein are those solely of the author and may not necessarily reflect those of the rest of the human race.
Some people accuse some people of crimes, some people get away with losing my rhymes. They don't like where I'm coming from, so they play dumb. Hey there and thanks for coming back. Although, for all I know, you may not have read me here last week and just stumbled on this blindly. At any rate, thanks for the click.
Speaking of last week, I gave a long-winded enough re-introduction there, so this time (and because I'm running rather short on time), we're getting right to it – after a word of explanation. Most of the Hip-Hop stuff I could this week was retarded (although I'm throwing it out there, anyway). So, we're covering a little more than that. Although, if you're a real fan of Hip-Hop, you may want to read the bit at the end when I talk about something I'm gonna do on this site that you may find pretty damn cool.
Okay, This Is Boring – What Else Is There To Read?
The American Music Awards Nominations were announced a coupla days ago. As you can guess, Taylor Swift – the poor widdle ting that got her feewins hurt at the last big Awards show – leads the pack with six. Right behind her, with five, is Michael Jackson. Yeah, the guy that died.
A comment made about the initial announcement on this site says it as well as I would like to:
How can a guy who didn't do jack this year except die be Artist of the Year? Award shows are a joke anyway but this takes it to another level.

No, I swear to God that wasn't me. Besides, I've said enough about Jackson already. I'm a little tired of beating that dead horse (no pun intend—yeah, that's bullshit) and tired of everyone else doing the same. People just can't leave the guy alone despite the fact that, in the past 3 years. No one gave a shit about him other than as the punch line to some kid-toucher joke. And you can flood this with comments denying that all you want, but you know damn well I'm right.
Anyway, Eminem nabbed four and Beyonce, T.I., Black Eyed Peas, Kings of Leon, and Lady GaGa all scored three. Hopefully Em and Lady GaGa will walk away with a few. TI and Black Eyed Peas, hopefully not. Kings of Leon, I really don't feel one way or the other.
Yes, I jacked that picture from Mitch Michaels. Just be glad I didn't find the one of Kanye interrupting Partrick Swayze...
My guess as to why? Aside from being white, from Detroit (as much as she would like to forget that), in the music business and worth millions, these two have not one damn thing in common. Especially not musically. Besides, despite as much as she thinks of herself judging by her own quote, he probably has no interest in banging someone older than his mom.
Justin Timberlake, on the other hand...Madonna has to say of him: Justin is a brilliant songwriter. I mean, "What Goes Around…..Comes Around?" Brilliant. I thought it would be a challenge to work with him. He's sort of a Cary Grant. I love him. I love working with him.
Yes. Absolute brilliant. "What Goes Around, Comes Around"? THAT'S never been done befo—
Oh, wait...
And finally, proof of just how stupid Soulja Boy is. He posted THIS video—
And people thought Ice-T was making a mistake messing with this dude? Really??
Happy Trails
Once again, it's been fun. Thanks for coming back, as I don't know when I'll be doing this again. Maybe sooner than later, but we'll see.
Oh, yeah. One more thing. This "mini-series" I was talking about.
I dropped one hint already. Another tie-in comes tomorrow when the review of Apathy's new album, Wanna Snuggle?, hits this site.
Yeah, I kinda talked about it already last week when I mentioned the interviews with Lyrics Born and Apathy. Although, instead of just those two, two others have joined in on the fun. It's also become more than a coincidental pair of interviews for the site. It's mutated into a dissertation of the "do-it-yourself" business model in Hip-Hop and where the real talent can be found nowadays.
So, who're the other two guys, you ask? One is DJ Skratch Bastid, one of the best out there right now. Trust me, if you've seen the video where he does the Imperial Mar—wait...
If you've seen this
, then you know who he is.
And number four...well, I told you I already dropped a hint...
