this kinda goes hand-in-hand with another post I just saw, but re:weird social censorship nowadays, there's a popular song rn by Jack Harlow called Lovin' On Me. it played on the radio like a bunch when I went back home, and the radio edit was so weird, like here's the first lyrics in the chorus:
and the radio had it censored so it was like:
I'm vanilla, baby (I don't like no ... and you can't tie me down)
I'll ... but I ain't no ... baby
and it was just weird when I looked up the actual lyrics. I was trying to figure them out from context, and got it way wrong (I thought it might be "I fuck pussy, but I ain't no pussy, baby"). like I guess that line could be perceived as violent, it's a fair read though contextually wrong, but the whips and chains censorship also makes no fucking sense. what ever happened to rihanna S&M playing all the fucking time on pop stations !!
some more jack harlow brain rot-- a certified music brat
hey yall hey music brain rot time because i'm considering music production as a major for uni
so on my way home i forced listened to lovin on me by jack harlow on the way home from school today, the unedited explicit version that is not radio appropriate and i have THOUGHTS
okay SO :
the whole "i dont like no whips and chains and you cant tie my down, but you can whip your lovin on me" overlay is... not good. at 0:31 in the song, the overlay drops and there's OBVIOUS POTENTIAL IN THE SONG the bassline is so so beautiful, as well as the cymbals (my music teachers got deported so i don't have a formal music education i don't know the fancy words) which compliment each other beautifully and at this point we have that cute little "young j a c k aka rico like suave (WHICH IS FUCKING INSANE FOR SOME KENTUCKY WHITE BOY TO KNOW WHAT RICO SUAVE IS BUT ANYWAY) young enrique speaking of aka". THAT BAR WAS FUCKING NASTY ILL OKAY? NASTY MF ILL ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? the flow on that bar was insane and RIGHT on the pocket i cannot it was amazing. giving very much white men CAN jump vibes, ya dig? AND THEN THIS BASTARD DROPS THAT FLOW COMPLETELY AND GOES INTO THE CHORUS/ BRIDGE THING (no formal training leave me alone) and the overlay happens again. sigh. my thing is there is so much potential (either in his bars or in the beat) and it just... goes to waste??? pisses me off real bad.
and then he has another nasty ill bar about young missionary WHICH DROPS THE OVERLAY AGAIN AND ITS JUST BASS AND CYMBALS WHICH IS FUCKING AMAZING and it was so good but i feel like that bar kinda fell off with that whole lord farquaad (unserious ass nigga) line where he loses the flow a little bit which pissed me AWF
but anyway. i think i should make in-depth music reviews a thing on this page, lmk what u think
