The Definition of Great Music



    Great music comes in many forms. Rap, pop, rock, country and jazz are just the tip of the iceberg. Great music is like glaciers in the arctic. It is really the size of Antarctica. It’s not the same as a generation ago, but great music is still there floating…waiting to be discovered. Will you discover it?


    Have you ever listened to classical? To define great music, we must look at who controls the music. The Record labels own your ass. I’m sure you heard about how Taylor Swift is rerecording her music. She is thinking outside the box. I feel the record labels don’t want you to be free.

    What if Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach were legally bound to a record label. In other news, Hasbro now owns Death Row records. A toy company is the owner of gangsta rap records. If you don’t have a problem with that, you shouldn’t have a problem with Taylor Swift rerecording her music.

    Do you think corporations are ruining music? Here are my thoughts. Corporations are actually making music better. Sway doesn’t have the answers, neither does Kanye.

    We’re hearing great music from all around the world because of corporations that make it possible for artists to reach the masses. Corporations are sponsoring great music everywhere. Apple Music, VEVO, and Spotify provide great tools for discovery. 

    I’m also sure you heard Jay Z (ROC Nation) made a deal with the NFL. Jay Z may even become a part-owner of a football team according to TMZ. It’s an interesting development.

    The point is everything is changing fast. You gotta keep up with the times. Great music is everywhere. Rihanna is a private flight away from performing at a concert near you. That’s who should do the halftime show if you ask me. 

    Corporations are not saints. In the end, the bottom line is profit for them. In my opinion, art shouldn’t be corporatized. However, the definition of great music is a profitable sound.

Beyonce and Jay Z Make a Masterpiece

Beyonce and Jay Z Make a Masterpiece

Beyonce and Jay Z are dominating the headlines. Moments ago, the power couple released a brand new joint album while on their worldwide tour in London. Follow the hashtags #BeyonceandJayZ and #GuruJay for more on Twitter. If you have been living under a rock and you don’t know who Beyonce and Jay Z are, allow me to reintroduce them. 10/10 times you know who Beyonce and Jay Z are; and if you don’t know them by now you aren’t ever going to know them.

The Houston homegirl was the former Destiny’s Child lead singer. She came a long way since the Destiny’s day. Now, she is better known as Queen Bey, queen bee of the Beyhive.

Ever since Song Cry, I’ve been listening to Jay Z. “I can’t see it coming down my eyes, so I gotta let the song cry…” Those Jay Z’s lyrics right there are powerful.

Beyonce and Jay Z make some of their best music together. They are the reincarnation of Bonnie and Clyde. If Bonnie could sing/dance/entertain and Clyde was a master on the microphone, then Beyonce and Jay Z are the true power couple.

What is your favorite Beyonce and Jay Z song? Bonnie and Clyde, Upgrade U, Crazy In Love, and Drunk in Love are some of their best work because they emphasis the passion they have for each other and their music. Beyonce and Jay Z are the perfect combination on and off the stage.

I can’t wait to listen to their new album entitled “Everything Is Love.” There are nine singles I know about on the album: Summer, Apeshit, Boss, Nice, 713, Friends, Heard About Us, Black Effect, and LoveHappy. I expect greatness from each one. Like the album cover featuring Mona Lisa suggests, Beyonce and Jay Z may have very well made a masterpiece.

Why Halsey Is Music’s Solar Eclipse

You have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the solar eclipse. Also, if you don’t know Halsey by now, allow me to introduce you to her. Halsey is music’s solar eclipse.

Her type of music talent comes around once every 99 years, Halsey was born in 1994 in Washington, New Jersey. Her name is a derivative of a Brooklyn street sign. It is also an anagram of her real name Ashley.

Halsey hasn’t always had it easy although she makes her work look effortless. She struggled at the beginning of her career. However, she didn’t give up and look at her now.

Halsey is music’s solar eclipse because her talent is rare. The Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Beyonce are a thing of the past. Out of nowhere, Halsey comes and makes a way.

I feel like Halsey falls somewhere between Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande as far as fame. Make no mistake, she is getting more famous. She has a bright future ahead of her.

She wasn’t in Fifth Harmony or Little Mix, yet she has amassed as much star power as them. Halsey has sang duets with the Chainsmokers and Justin Bieber himself. It is amazing what she has accomplished in such a short span of time. Plus, she is only getting more famous and popular for the right reasons.

What is more, her music is making a claim on popular culture. New Americana is taking over American train of thought. Fans can’t get enough of Now or Never. In fact, they expect to hear the song at concerts. Right now, you can find Halsey on tour. She is performing in Las Vegas, Connecticut and Boston. It is an exciting time for Halsey and her fans. What is your favorite Halsey song? Do you agree that she is music’s solar eclipse?

Sam Hunt is scheduled to perform at the CMA Fest on Wednesday. Maybe, after reading this blog post you will tune into the event to see him. It all starts tomorrow at 8 pm on ABC. The biggest names will perform from Blake Shelton to Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood. I know people who are watching strictly because of Sam Hunt’s appearance though. The celebrity is having a great year.

Sam Hunt is down to earth and out of this world. His music is undeniably great. Greatness recognizes greatness. I’m interested in seeing what’s next in store for Sam Hunt. The 15 in a 30 Tour is going viral on Instagram and Twitter. Hunt’s music doesn’t appear to be slowing down; he’s going full speed ahead. I look forward to his future albums, singles, and concerts. It would be nice to see him live in concert.

I know Sam Hunt will give a phenomenal performance. The 32 year old singer originates out of Nashville, Tennessee. So, the Country singer will be right at home. He can kick off his boots and make himself comfortable. I expect the Body Like a Back Road singer to throw a few curveballs and sliders here and there. It should be fun time because of a sexy crowd. Country music lovers are some of the best fans in the world. A Country Star is only as good as his fans. What is Sam Hunt without Hunters?

I consider Take Your Time to be a classic. Did you know Take Your Time went Platinum 4 times? Body Like a Back Road went Platinum 3 times already. It’s only a matter of time before Sam Hunt wins a Grammys. There’s a Grammy with his name on it. What do you think is the best Sam Hunt song?

In a nutshell, Sam Hunt will give a phenomenal performance because he is phenomenal.

The Soft and Sweet Sounds of Corinne Bailey Rae

BY: GURU JAY 

Here’s the best way to explain Corinne Bailey Rae’s music. Her voice is a clarinet. She mixes up her range and controls the pitch like a pro. Plus she brings us joy every time she sings Put Your Records On and Like A Star.
You see she knows what to do. And she looks good doing it. Right now her new songs from The Heart Speaks In Whispers- Green Aphrodisiac and Been To Moon specifically- are on my playlist. As always her lyrics are amazing and that voice is incredible.
It’s hard to stop listening after you press play. Are you hooked yet? What more could we want?
The soft and sweet sounds of Corinne Bailey Rae relieve the pressure. In a world with so much stress and worries, you need someone like Corinne. What is more, she’s true to her message. Her words delve deep into the meaning of life. Rae shines like a sunray. No wonder she received that name.

The British songstress could have been a princess in another lifetime. Musical notes are her subjects. She creates moods and expressions with her melodies.
Like Lena Horne, the star ‘got’ rhythm. Give her a guitar and watch her string magical harmonies with the bands. Oh yeah, she’ll sing until kings and queens come off their thrones. 
I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing Enchantment by Bailey. What is better than watching this music artist perform in concert? She could be the English version of Alicia Keys. The only difference is a guitar, keyboard, an accent, and a few seas. Moreover, executives respect Rae for brand managing.   
Yes, Corinne Bailey Rae took a break. But while on her hiatus, she became better in every facet. “Don’t you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game…don’t you know that, peace must be nurtured…” In other words, seasons change.

Chuck Berry Is Greater Than An Icon

BY: GURU JAY

What is Rock and Roll without Chuck Berry? Chuck Berry is greater than an icon. The legend was born in St. Louis Missouri.
Moreover, his sounds are heard like Cardinals and Blue Jays all around the world. He sings like a Robin and dances like a Cuckoo Bird. Plus he plays the guitar like an Ostrich.
Looking back at his accomplishments it’s easy to get lost for words. How do you honor the most honorable? Some say Chuck Berry became King of Rock and Roll.
What’s your favorite Chuck Berry song? Whether Johnny B. Goode or Maybellene, Berry’s hits are homeruns, triples, and doubles. Berry’s singles are #1s in any era. Plus the celebrity knows how to make people have fun at concerts.

With songs like Ding-a-ling, people admire his sense of humor. When I think about Rock music, I think about Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, the Beatles, and Chuck Berry. At an uneasy time in history, Berry brought black and white together. He was born in 1926. He lived through the riots and uproar.
Moreover, Berry believes in his music. That’s why millions believe in him. I’ve listened to Chuck Berry on Vinyl records. It’s not the same on CD. Something about a record spinning entices the ears as well as the eyes. What beats the Chuck Berry sound?
Right now Rock desperately demands another Chuck Berry. Let’s honor the one and only today. Appreciate all living legends because they deserve acknowledgement while they are still here. Recognize their value and contributions. 
In closing, I love math. That’s proof Americans do love math. A sign I used often is (>) greater than. Well in case I ever receive an autograph from Mr. Berry, I want him to sign > after his signature because Chuck Berry is greater than an icon.

Brace for Metallica’s Full Impact

BY: GURU JAY
  
Brace for full impact because Metallica delivers the total package. Who has a more devoted fan base than this heavy/ trash metal band? Without question, the Los Angeles based group embraces financial backers in the form of venture capitalists and groupies. Just like fans, Rock Stars come in all shapes and sizes but the truly great ones are standouts.
How do you explain the band’s longevity? Let’s talk about solvency and liquidity. These music guys have been in business longer than some of America’s biggest corporations. Plus Metallica maximizes its strengths and passes the STRESS test with flying colors.  
   
Metallica appeals to a variety of individuals. However, a hardcore demographic supports the band and makes it money. Are you a diehard fan? 
What are your favorite Metallica songs of all time? My top 5 are: 1. Until It Sleeps 2. The Unforgiven 3. One 4. Whiskey In the Jar and 5. Nothing Else Matters. Next question: do you know the lyrics by heart?

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett had it all figured out in the early 1980s before we were born. Later, Robert Trujillo would join them and make a foursome on par with the Beatles. I believe Metallica is in Beatles territory.
You see they built their reputations brick by brick. The Rock Stars finely downloaded their images one pixel at a time. What is more, they knew when it was time to innovate. Metallica stuck it out together when others would have disbanded. Give extra credit to Hetfield for being a visionary.    
Metallica is the purest band in the business. Watching them perform is like seeing Captain America: Civil War again. Every guy is equipped with armor and knows their superpower. That’s why their concerts need the tightest security.
Brace for full impact as Metallica comes on stage.
