Maybe it’s just me.. but I was thrown off for about 5 minutes today when I read that Justin Bieber was nominated for a BET Award this year. I literally was frozen in my chair. The dude is, like, the whitest of the white you can get, which is a little odd considering the BET Awards’ charter is something along the lines of recognizing the achievements of Black and minority artists in entertainment.
But I admittedly didn’t give Justin Bieber a chance… a couple of Youtube searches later this kid ain’t bad! So for that hasty prejudgment, JB I salute you, as well as the other white artists that have broken into the BET Awards with a nomination.
Sam Rockwell is having a splendid year, ain’t he? Iron Man 2, Broadway… He recently appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as a guest and does a little number which can be described as magical.
I must apologize, my former post addressed the man as Travis McCoy… it’s TravIE McCoy. Anyway.. if you didn’t know the frontman for Gym Class Heroes is releasing a solo album later this year, and you somehow slept on “Billionaire”, then here’s a reminder… here’s the 2nd single off Travie’s upcoming solo project, “We’ll Be Alright”. It’s got that Weezer vibe in my opinion, a perfect joint for the kiddies in summer time.
Travis McCoy pulls Bruno Mars onstage to rock a live performance of Travis’ hit song making waves right now “Billionaire.” Lovin’ the quick Barret Strong cover right before “Billionaire”.
I know nothing about Turk Disco… I have no idea what “Balagan” means… but I have to say this is a pretty intoxicating music video… very therapeutic if you will. The music itself draws you in, and video complements it all nicely.
“Sexy Bitch” aka “Sexy Chick” is still making its way across the jiggy electronic crowd worldwide. Just in case you were sick of the song, here’s another track from the David Guetta and Akon duo. Sort of lacks the epic-ness that “Sexy Bitch” possessed, but I do have to admit the first song is a hard act to follow… listen for yourselves.
