The Explicit Lyrics of Kendrick Lamar

BY: GURU JAY
Kendrick Lamar crafts clever wordplay like a Scrabble champion. His music can rile up and/or rejuvenate the masses. Don’t tempt him unless you want the repercussions. Like Ice Cube said, “check yourself.” You see like Common, Kendrick’s voice registers with Joe Public and that means something.
So, where do you rank Kendrick Lamar among the best in the rap game? I feel he is a highly rated player on par with Tyga. Actually, he is better than Tyga (who is great btw) I just couldn’t resist writing that cool sentence. You see Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have many equals in Hip Hop and it’s an injustice.
Combine talent, naturally/ God-given gifts, and work ethic and you get Kendrick Lamar. It doesn’t take Einstein to solve the K-Dot equation. Staying committed to the cause/ provides a way out of the clause.

Plus Kendrick Lamar makes some of the best music videos in the industry. His Poetic Justice video featuring Drake deserves an honorable mention. And Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood is one featuring Kendrick that should get recognized more often. 
Society needs music in order to thrive. Music keeps humanity off the brink of extinction. What would you do without art?    
Who knows? In a couple of years, Kendrick will be the number 1 favorite overtaking the likes of Drake. He can record underground mix tapes and mainstream pop songs alike.

The explicit lyrics and originally creative content of Kendrick Lamar defines his greatness. Replay the Recipefeaturing Dr. Dre for the full whammy as he pours out his overflowing juices. Rhyme comes easy to the Compton rapper because it’s hard enough “living just enough for the city.”
Sometimes, I swear he should be a comedian because of his sound effects. Martin Lawrencehas an entertainment effect. “Martin had a dream. Martin had a dream. Kendrick have a dream.”

beautiful Blurred Lines Celebs Coachella Dr. Dre Famous Guru Jay Happy Hip Hop hot Kanye West Music N.E.R.D. personalities Pharrell Williams popular rap Snoop Dogg Superstar The Voice

How Pharrell Williams Became Popular

BY: GURU JAY


The Voice coach Pharrell Williams created ‘Happy’ and the rest is history. Honestly, I didn’t like the song at first. You see, I thought it was a rip-off of the nursery rhyme “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.” But you could argue “there is nothing new under the sun.”
I changed my mind about the song after realizing its effect on people. Mass hysteria overrides prejudices. For the record, I’ve always liked Pharrell Williams because he’s a cool cat.
It’s that the world just recently discovered his coolness and greatness. Pharrell’s personality draws people in. Plus, the musician simplifies complex rhythms.

Is Pharrell a rapper? Or is he a singer? No doubt he uses his voice to create good music. What is music but a universal language?
Pharrell became popular by first collaborating with top talent. Before going solo, he was a part of the Neptunes and NERD. Initially, like Dr. Dre and Kanye West, he was in the back of the studio making hot beats.
Snoop Dogg took a liking to him because of his keen ear for music. That’s how come Pharrell made major contributions to hits like ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Drop It’s Like It Hot.’ Also, the artist helped develop ‘Blurred Lines’ with Robin Thicke.

Unfortunately for them, the late Marvin Gaye’s family won a lawsuit against Williams and Thicke. Nonetheless, the song was commercially successful. Furthermore, Happy was a world famous phenomenon.
What if more rappers chose to create positive songs? You see I enjoy all types of music. However, there is more than enough room for every sound.
I admire the musicians who act responsibly. Can’t we hold celebs accountable? After all, don’t fans buy their products?
In short, expect Pharrell Williams to keep swinging for the fences. So long as he’s up at the plate, he’ll make the most of it. He has an opportunity to become a walking and living legend like Reggie Jackson.

50 Cent 8 Mile authentic Biggie Smalls Celebrities College Dr. Dre Eminem Entertainment Guru Jay Hip Hop Music Nas pop rapping Rihanna Slim Shady The Monster Tupac Shakur Twitter

How Eminem Came A Long Way From 8 Mile

BY: GURU JAY

Some people say I’m picky. Actually, I just have acquired a taste for the best that life has to offer. In the words of Eminem aka Slim Shady, their styles are generic, while “mines authentic made.”
I don’t want to blog if I can’t break grammar rules.
The point is I’ve jammed to rap music my whole life with a caveat. In the late 90s and early 2000s, I exclusively listened to Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Nas, and Eminem. Essentially, I only listened to rappers with substance.
What is the first advice after you walk on campus? Don’t they tell you to “open your mind?” What they really mean to say is “open your pocketbooks and pay for these over-priced textbooks and tuition.” 
In my freshman year, I registered for an introduction to music course. They gave me credit for going to concerts and writing papers. College exposes you to new ways of thinking.

Although Eminem didn’t register with University admissions, he still registers with you and me. I don’t agree with all of Eminem’s beliefs but he genuinely has some great ideas.
Have you seen 8 Mile or Get Rich or Die Tryin’? So the story goes, Dr. Dre discovered Eminem and Slim Shady signed 50 Cent. 8 Mile chronicles the white rapper’s rise out of the black underground. Moreover, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ demonstrates 50 Cent’s struggle and ultimate perseverance.
Are Eminem and Rihanna the perfect music combination or what? Because Eminem is a rap god, that makes Rihanna a pop goddess. Thus, many of Slim Shady’s best songs are his collaborations with Bad Girl Riri.


Don’t fret if you’re unfamiliar with Hip-Hop. Follow Eminem on Twitter to receive important updates. The learning curve is not too steep.

If you are familiar with Hip-Hop, what are your favorite Eminem songs and why do you like him?

Beyoncé Celebrities Dr. Dre Dr. Oz Dr. Phil Floyd Mayweather Glenn Beck Guru Jay Highest paid Howard Stern James Patterson Manny Pacquiao Mark Burnett Oprah Rachael Ray Simon Cowell Steven Spielberg

Top 10 Highest Paid Celebrities

BY: GURU JAY

 
With $82 million, Oprah Winfrey takes the 10th spot. Why does Oprah consistently rank as one of the highest paid celebrities? Here’s a clue. She owns everything.
Oprah has established and operates a micro media conglomerate. Harpo productions produces Rachael Ray, Dr. Phil, and Dr. Oz TV shows. What is more, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) contributes greatly to the talk queen’s financial success.
At 9, newcomer Mark Burnett made his fortune rewriting the Bible. Speaking of writers, long time novelist James Patterson ranks as the 8th highest paid celebrity. At the this point, Patterson can sit back and wait for his royalty checks. To the contrary, the Along Came a Spider author steadily creates and develops new content.
Coming in at 8, it should come as no surprise that Fox News anchor Glenn Beck collected $90 Million. Beck has his hands in aplenty. For instance, in 2010 the journalist started Beck University.
Colleagues Simon Cowell and Howard Stern each earned $95 Million. Remember the American Idol days when Simon had a chip on his shoulder. How about when Howard interviewed Playboy bunnies and sexpots?
Director Steven Spielberg, who made a cool $100 Million, is number 4. Spielberg excels at entertainment. You know he harnessed Halle Berry’s star power as an Extant executive?
In addition, Floyd “money” Mayweather (the best ever boxer) generated $105 million. Mayweather will finally fight Manny Pacquiao. Look for TBE to move up 2 spots next year.
Like Oprah, the 2nd highest paid celebrity is no stranger to big purses. Why are people jealous of Beyoncé? She’s an exceptional entertainer, who’s fairly compensated for her craft. When you make $115 million it comes with strings attached.
Last but not least, don’t forget about Dre. Dr. Dre earned $620 million after several years of working smarter.

Driven Celebrities: Who Drives Money?

BY: GURU JAY


Celebrities reach millions and cause thousands of actions via television, the Internet, and social media. How effective are celebrity endorsements? They’re very effective because the entertainment industry strongly influences society and culture.


This blog post will discuss celebrity endorsements in the automotive industry.

Driven Celebrities


Driven celebrity Matthew McConaughey drives a Lincoln. Ever since making the ‘Lincoln Lawyer,’ movie, the pretend attorney has capitalized on his famous filmography. And he’s not the only celebrity making a fortune by endorsing automobiles.

With today’s technology, it’s inexcusable for celebrities to live in poverty. It saddens me to read about the misfortunes of entertainers, especially athletes. Driven celebrities Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and George Foreman are anomalies.  


Why can’t more celebrities drive themselves like the aforementioned and following celebrities?

Ford gave country music pioneer Toby Keith a profitable package. Volvo smartly signed an endorsement deal with martial arts master Jean-Claude Van Damme. Moreover, Honda sealed a package with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.


If you’re an amateur Tennis player, you’ve probably noticed Maria Sharapova in some Land Rover advertisements. Also, professional athletes Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, and Shaquille O’Neal have lucrative endorsement deals with Buick. Do you really believe Buicks are spacious enough for basketball centers?

Comedian Tim Allen lends his voice to Chevrolet commercials. Also, rappers Dr. Dre and Eminem represent Chrysler. It’s impossible to name every last celebrity car endorsement.


Many celebrities endorse cars to maintain their luxurious lifestyles. If you want a Malibu mansion, Beverly Hills condo, and Cape Cod yacht, you need a financier. So simply endorse a car.
