Update: "Don't Save the Last Dance"

Well I know it was some time ago and it's been less than sporadic when we update this blog, but last year (August 11, 2009 to be exact) I wrote a blog entitled "Don't Save the Last Dance." The gist of that blog was talking about all the rap songs with stupid dances to go along with them and I gave a few examples of some of the latest ones out and some older songs. Well if you never read that blog hit the link above and check it out.

If you remember and or notice, at the very end of that blog I was playing around and made up the following song clearly off the dome making a mockery of this type of music see the quote below:

"However, I will proposition any choreographers out there to hit me up. callmecrecks@gmail.com or @crecks on twitter. Let's come up with a stupid dance move and make a song out of it. You do the dance I'll write and produce the song. We can do it, it can't be that hard. Wait! I already got one! The "Hula Hoop." I can hear the hook for the song now. "Do the hula hoop, do the hula hoop, work them hips 'round like you would a hula hoop. Girl do the hula hoop, do the hula hoop, you can do it too, girl, don't think you too cute!!" The dance moves can mimic something like you would do while playing with a hula hoop. LoL. I'm clowning, but I swear I'll write this shit. It would be a ghost written song however for MC Sambo or whoever I could find to be the artist. But I would gladly take the royalty checks for writing it. Matter of fact I'm going to copyright the lyrics today for all you biters out there. LoL."

Well obviously I was 100% playing around and especially didn't take heed to the last sentence of that blog about copyrights. The reason I state this and the reason for this updated blog is because as I was just downloading music last night, (legally of course ;-) I came across a song entitled "Hool-a-Hoop" by Black Frost Feat. Mista F.A.B. Now upon reading the title of the song I thought "GTFOH" (if you don't know the acronym google it). Then I said wait it can't be let me listen to this. Then I listened and said "Hell Naw!!! They done stole my song!" LoL. Not literally because obviously in the above mentioned blog I was completely playing around and making a mockery of how easy and simple it is to come up with some of the rap songs of today, especially the dance songs. But I just found it ironic how it was almost identical to what I came up with over 9 months ago off the top of my head. Please take a listen to the song below for further evidence:









All I had was the hook but I could've filled up 3 - 16 bar verses with any old filler lyrics. But this simply just 100% irrefutable evidence that most of the music now a days takes absolutely no talent and or skill to create. Now that is not to say that I have no talent because I do. But to just think that what took me 3.5 seconds to come up with while writing a blog someone actually went into the studio, produced, wrote and performed is just ridiculous to me. And trust I'm not hating because this song may blow, make whoever the artist a little money off a "one hit wonder single" and then they fade away. No by all means I'm not, I hope they make whatever they can off the song, I hope they make a video and they get to #1 on 106 & Park. That's really not the point. I'm simply exposing the truth! Hip Hop Music is not what it used to be peoples and this is as far as the creative mind is taking it these days.

If you saw last week's episode of The Boondocks, (See the link to the left for those that missed it), they ironically touched on this very same subject. I will forever be a lover of good music especially Hip Hop Music since that's the era in which I grew up in. And until songs like this stop getting air play I will continue to turn off my radio and turn on classics, when I can sit back and reminisce on when real Emcees came with it and put forth effort to master their craft. Which is not comparable to the song and dance routine that I covered in this blog or the aforementioned one.

Lastly, just a heads up we soon plan on expanding this blog into another blog where we can really get back into one of my our real loves... music. I know we've been lacking on this one but hopefully when my Partner in Crime @drizadre gets back on we will be able to keep this updated more regularly as well as the new blog coming soon. So Stay tuned...

Oh and since no one took me up on my offer last year I'll put it out there again. If any one wants to take me up on my offer to come up with a dance routine, I'll gladly ghost write the song! As you can see I'm 1 for 1. However, this time I'll leave my next dance craze to myself or at least until we can put it down and copyright it. Lol.

Kutipan Kompas

waktu itu baca Kompas dan ga sengaja menemukan kutipan ini...

"Persoalan yang dihadapi Sri Mulyani Indrawati adalah sama persis dengan anak-anak Indonesia yang gagal bersekolah disini, tetapi berhasil di luar negeri. Saya sendiri mengalaminya, betapa sulit mendapat nilai bagus disini, sementara di luar negeri kita sangat dihargai. kita merasa bodoh di negeri sendiri bukan karena tidak mampu, melainkan karena betapa arogannya para pemimpin." Rhenaldi Kasali, Kompas 6 Mei 2010

Sekarang apa yang bisa anda simpulkan??

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!!

Ga tau kenapa saya suka sekali sama quote nya Cameron diaz waktu dia menang di Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards tahun 2008 pada saat dia menjadi winner sebagai The Big Green Help Award.

Quote nya yaitu
" YOU ARE THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!!".

Dari situ dia ngasih tau bener-bener kepada anak-anak sebagai generasi muda penerus Masa depan betapa pentingnya hidup peduli akan lingkungan. Dari situ memang benar bisa kita lihat bahwa memang benar bahwa anak-anak itu adalah Masa Depan bagaimana Keadaaan bumi kita ini..
Karena bumi harus kita jaga, rawat dan lindungi, untuk menyelamatkan generasi kita nantinya..
begitu pun juga dengan Indonesia!!
INDONESIA juga Punya MASA DEPAN YANG TERANG BENDERANG, dan masa depan itu ada DITANGAN KITA!! Generasi Muda. Indonesia juga bisa berubah kalau kita juga mau berubah..

Jadi, mari kita selamatkan Indonesia yang tiap hari makin panas!! dengan melakukan sesuatu dari hal-hal yang kecil tapi bisa kita jangkau setiap harinya!! Karena selain Indonesia kita juga bisa menyelamatkan bumi kita!!

Mari hidup GO GREEN ( Reduse, Reuse, Recycle)!! and Please Switch off all the energy is not useful. OK!!

Alangkah Lucunya (negeri ini) Film

Waktu itu kira hari jumat tanggal 30 april 2010 merupakan hari yang sangat menguras pikiran saya haha (lebayy yaa..) karena hari itu adalah hari dimana UTS Statistik yang notabennya saya emang ga minat bgt sma yg namanya ilmu hitung menghitung hihi..
Akhirnya UTS itu tidak seribet yang saya bayangkan. Karena allhamdullilah sekali ternyata saya bisa menjawabnya tapi itu menurut saya!! Ga tau deh apa kata dosennya hahaa..
Ya tapi harus tetap bersyukurlahh..
Walaupun sebenernya pusing banget sesudahnya tapi setelah itu kebetulan sekali teman saya mengajak nonton.. Dan dengan senang hati saya meng-iyakan. Dan akhirnya kita sepakat untuk nonton Alangkah lucunya negeri ini.
Sinopsis ceritanya bisa anda lihat disini

Memang agak lucu sehh kedengarannya tapi memang filmnya lucu dan sangat menyentuh hati sekali. Tapi sebenernya seh kepikiran juga hehe.. karena film ini menceritakan tentang Sarjana Manajemen dan hal ini agak menyentuh hati saya karena notabennya saya adalah Mahasiswa Manajemen hehe.. Karena bisa kita lihat banget betapa susahnya nyari pekerjaan dijaman sekarang ini.
Alur cerita film ini memang sangat menarik sekali dan benar-benar lucu melihat akting para pemainnya... Seakin begitu "lucunya" juga sehh ngeliat kenyataan keadaan Indonesia yang diceritakan di film ini. Memang seh penutupan film ini agak ngambang yahh tapi kalau dipikir-pikir susah juga mengakhiri film ini dengan cerita yang tepat. Karena kalau nyeritain tentang Indonesia sehh ga akan ada habis-habisnya.hehehe.. Walaupun begitu tetap saja film ini diakhiri dengan cerita yang mengharukan diingiringi oleh suara dari Band legendaris "God Bless" yang berjudul Tanah Air. Dan saya pun sangat terharu sekali. Karena membuat perasaan menjadi sensitif..hehehe

Yah itulah Indonesia. Padahal Indonesia itu adalah negara yang begitu kaya dan hebat baik dari SDAnya maupun SDM nya. Tapi kalau boleh bertanya? Jika Indonesia sekaya dan sehebat itu Kenapa rakyat Indonesia masih banyak yang hidup dibawah garis kemiskinan?.


Jadi Film Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini wajib banget deh untuk ditonton.. Pokoknya saya rekomendasikan untuk anda semua..dijamin ga bakalan nyesel.
