WAP certified official twin duo Nina Sky is releasing their album The Musical the first quarter of 2009. We checked in on them a short while back with their deejaying skills and mentioned an upcoming single “On Some Bullshit”…well take leak:
and watch this:
Hopefully this collab with Cee-Lo will get the just props it deserves. Common’s Universal Mind Control releases next week, and this song “Make My Day” is on it. Play this song during a thunderstorm and we guarantee that the skies will open up and the sun will come out with a big rainbow and dancing flowers like a trippy cartoon. Grateful Dead bears will be there too. Don’t forget to RSVP.
Kanye West and his broseph/DJ A-Trak wax philosophical on the art of the beard. Kanye’s all acting normalish so maybe he’s not cookoo for Cocoa Puffs after all. Can we see a video like this of Lauryn Hill? It would put me at ease.

With all this talk of 808s, Heartbreak, Sasha Fierce, blah blah blah, it’s important to keep our WAPping heads above the water and check out who is about to blow up. Kanye did himself a favor by signing UK’s own Mr. Hudson to the G.O.O.D. Music imprint. Mr. Hudson has been doing his thing in the UK for a minute now and was instrumental in the work done on 808s and Heartbreak (uh oh). Just kidding, he’s dope. All we have is an older video of his that circulated for promo last year. His album is in the works for early ’09, so hopefully this won’t be the last time you hear about him. Funny though isn’t it how poor Colin Munroe did that fancy pants remake of “Flashing Lights” and Ye preferred Mr. Hudson to fill his whiteboy quota. Oh well.

No, seriously. According to her SPIN Magazine cover story, the Sri Lankan superstar on the rise said that a parrot in India advised what her unborn child’s gender will be. She has an intuition that she’s carrying a boy, because according to the parrot her folks used, she was supposed to be a boy. She was told, “When you were born, your parents thought you’d be a boy, so you came out with alot of male energy. You can do alot of things that men can do. You’re brave, like a dude.” So now she has to release that male energy into a son. If anyone else said something like this, we’d probably be a little creeped out, but she’s M.I.A and she can do anything, so in honor of the potential gender of her child, let’s enjoy “Boyz” remix free:
So according to site The Life Files, Beyonce is set to sell 500k for the debut week of her album I Am…Sasha Fierce. Were we listening to the same album? Is someone playing a joke on us? Are we being Punked? Ashton? Bueller? Bueller?
The manic masses of people are at a critical point culturally.
“How can we banish the vocoder/talk box/autotune?” they query collectively. There was a day, however, when Roger Troutman was the King of the Talkbox… but Steve Wonder was the one that put his contemporary onto the device.
WAP wonders if Stevie felt how T-Pain does now or if he just let the others live creatively. Hey, Roger is no Ron Browz. Check out more proof of Stevie Wonder’s boundless ingenuity.
In 1972, he made it funky on Sesame Street:
This is a video of Cassie driving around a speedboat in a bikini discussing how everyone should buy “Official Girl”. It’s from last month, but since we don’t hang out on YouTube searching for Cassie, we just found this now. She looks like one of those shot girls at bars who walk around with test tubes filled with Cuervo. Just a suggestion – this type of marketing is not effective for sales, since mostly women buy your album. Certainly men will enjoy this though. But will they rush to iTunes? Survey says – not likely.
This autotune madness is out of control. This new song Ron Browz has is bad. No. Bad is like a Neanderthal. And this is the mutant of bad. This bad has superpowers. Listen to:
I really wanted to jump out of a window after hearing this. Ron is talented, but he shall not be allowed to co-exist with the sane world if he keeps putting out songs like this.
The song is called “Explode” and it sounds very typical Ciara. Correction – the Ciara we have grown to know. Remember those days when she used to roll with Jazze Pha and sang “Goodies” and “Oh”? Well, WAP kinda misses that Ciara. Ciara seems to morph into whatever producer/songwriter she is working with that day. For that she shouldn’t be compared to Aaliyah because Aaliyah never did that. Aaliyah was her own person. This isn’t about Aaliyah (R.I.P) though. This is about Ci Ci and her new song. Listen to it and then let’s go back to discussing Aaliyah.
