SZA: a Difference and Hitmaker

    Days ago, SZA released Hit Different. Who can deny the artist’s creativity? Not only did she record the song, but she directed the music video too. Who does that? DJ Khaled? Seriously, after watching the video a few times I can say SZA is a difference and hitmaker in the music industry. Hit Different is exactly as advertised. It has a unique twist. Plus, it’s unlike anything you have heard this summer. We have two weeks of summer left.

SZA’s Big Future
    
    The entertainment business is lucky to have this celebrity. This is the start of something special. She could direct movies in the future. Check out the music video hereAs summer comes to a close, I want to nominate SZA for having the song of the summer. Although Hit Different is a late edition, it is a fine addition. Can I compare her with Brandy? That’s a fair comparison. I would love to hear her sing I Wanna Be Down. The songstress has the look going for her, the singing chops, and so much more.
    
    Born in St. Louis, Missouri, the 29-year-old is reaching her full potential. SZA is a difference and hitmaker. The Recording Academy adores her. To date, she has been nominated for 9 Grammys and counting. I like the team surrounding SZA. I’m not talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, but she is a team player.
    
    SZA’s popularity is rising because her music keeps getting better. Growth is the name of the game. I can teach you how to grow your audience, but first, you must make up your mind. If you want to be a singer, you’re in the right place. Learn from the best. She makes a difference. Plus, she makes hits. What are your favorite singles by the artist? 
    
    You should add SZA to Spotify, listen to her on iTunes, and support your girl. She is going places. She has been around the world. Her music reaches millions. I would like to think of her as Brandy 2.0. People are too busy comparing Brandy with Monica to see what’s in front of their faces. In many ways, the two artists SZA and Brandy are alike as far as their music catalogs. Their styles and appeals are similar. Plus, they dominated their eras. 
    
    The Weekend singer has a big future. Hit Different could become her biggest hit that’s also a difference-maker. She’s making bold moves. She has all the record labels and corporations on alert. They recognized she’s a valuable asset, who is growing by leaps and bounds. The summer belongs to SZA. This is her time to shine.

Do you love music? What is your favorite song? Who is your favorite musician?

I love music because music comes in all forms. Music can be small, big, and a medium. In Starbucks terminology, it can be Venti. You see music is like coffee.

You can consume music in many ways. In what ways do you listen to music? Maybe, you wear Beats by Dre headphones or earplugs to consume your tastes of expression.

Moreover, music sparks your imagination. I believe your brain activates after gazing at a work of art. Plus, I feel your mind listens to a great audio work of art.

Let’s use our imagination. Albert Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge. George R.R. Martin used his imagination to create a language called Valyrian in the Game of Thrones. When you combine Albert Einstein and George R.R. Martin with music, you get Imagine Dragons.

Have you heard of Imagine Dragons? Lately, the Las Vegas rock band has been gaining in popularity. What Game of Thrones is to cable TV, Imagine Dragons is to premium music.

If you have Imagine Dragons on your playlist, consider yourself privileged. Their music is amazing. Their lyrics are transformative.

Furthermore, Imagine Dragons are like the particle physicists of sound. You see these musicians pay attention to every detail while recording music in the studio booth. 

While watching the AMAs on TV, I first came across an Imagine Dragons performance. I’m looking forward to watching more of the band’s performances in the future. The band members connected with the spirit.

Finally, who can deny the creativity of the Imagine Dragons? Like Carlos Santana, the rock band creates creative sounds for a living. Plus, they generate electric music like Calvin Harris.

Are you an Imagine Dragons fan? What is your favorite Imagine Dragons song? Chime in your comments.

How Lil Wayne and 50 Cent Make Money

How Lil Wayne and 50 Cent Make Money


People can’t wait until Lil Wayne drops a beat and 50 Cent drops a dime. It’s a constant blast at concerts because these rappers don’t stop the music or drop out. In other words, they get the party started and the fans hyped up.

Does it take One Direction to see I’m going somewhere with this? Lil Wayne and 50 Cent are on different levels than regular people. The Young Money rap artist and the I Get Money singer have earned their rights to be braggadocios.

Let Lil Wayne pour champagne on his cellphone. Does it matter if 50 Cent makes it rain in Da Club? He’s not into making love anyway.

Rap is poetry. Lil Wayne and 50 Cent are thug poets. They tell vivid stories about their lifestyles before and after fame. They sell flossy images which the media loves to buy at whatever cost. 50 Cent has portrayed a gangster and turned into a legitimate businessman.

Did you know Lil Wayne aka Young Weezy doesn’t sleep much? That’s because he’s superhuman. The celebrity said he’ll catch up on ZZZs in retirement.

Moreover, I don’t know what you heard about him but 50 Cent is a P.I.M.P. Like Snoop Dogg 50 has built a persona and there’s no backing away from that right now. Do you watch Power on Starz? 50 Cent is 1 hell of an actor. He’s the man. I really like the bridge to I’m the Man. Shout out to Sonny Digital.

Young Weezy is turning into a nightmare in a good way. Listening to Weezy’s rap is like watching a horror movie. There’s so much suspense and a lot of fire.

Oh yeah, for some reason I think about popcorn too. Maybe, A Milli gets stuck in your frontal lobe every time you play it. Lil Wayne has that verse: You pop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher.

You see, his lyrics should be dissected like frogs in a science class and digested like peas in a pod.

In a nutshell, Lil Wayne and 50 Cent make money by simply telling vivid stories and selling flossy images.

Celebs Christina Aguilera Erykah Badu Essence Guru Jay Gwen Stefani Hip Hop Janet Jackson Jill Scott Lauryn Hill Lyrics Music Pandora Singers Soul Sisters Spotify The Sisterhood The Voice Window Seat

Who’s Got Soul? The Sisterhood of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott

BY: GURU JAY


  
“Hey sister, soul sister.”
Gwen Stefani replaces Christina Aguilera on the Voice this season. I will miss the soulful Lady Marmalade’s presence. But I’ll get by playing Erykah Badu and Jill Scott music.
If Tyrese Gibson and Mark Wahlberg are brothers from another mother, then Badu and Scott are sisters from another father.
Everyone enjoys the best things life offers. That’s why women spend countless hours shopping for the right handbag to go with their brand spanking new designer jeans.
Erykah is eccentric and Jill is classic. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re getting with Badu. And you receive your monies worth with Scott’s performances.
Who’s got soul? They do!

These soul sisters create crossword puzzles with their lyrics. Plus, their distinct voices sound heavenly. Erykah sings riddles and Jill channels Maya Angelou.

Erykah and Jill are supreme singers. You can’t have a Hip-Hop conservation without mentioning them. What is more, their spiritual songs take you on a journey of discovery.
They bare their souls and expose their essence. If you want music without boundaries, if you need passionate deliveries, then play Erykah Badu and Jill Scott on Pandora. Like Lauryn Hill and Janet Jackson, they are natural phenomena.
Nowadays, celebrities hide behind hash tags. It seems they all care about breaking news. Ask yourself why they are pushing the same agenda. Do any of them think for themselves?
Now the Window Seat singer hates groupthink. Erykah Badu makes it clear where she stands in her video. Likewise, Jill Scott goes against the grain of popular culture when required.


Badu and Scott would make excellent Home Economics teachers because they understand the importance of sisterhood. Additionally, they give back beyond their communities in various ways. One thing they share in common is their compassion for people.

Celebs English Entertainer Guru Jay Hollywood Jaguar SportCar Kellie Pickler Kelly Clarkson Lana Del Rey Lizzy Grant Lyrics M.I.A. Music pop stars Radioactive Rihanna Rita Ora Roc Nation Singer vocals

Rita Ora Vs. Lana Del Rey

BY: GURU JAY

As summer halts, I reflect on an entertaining season filled with surprises. Who could have predicted all this? Thus, let’s look forward to autumn.
When the leaves fall it feels like music to me. Seasoned musicians Rita Ora and Lana Del Rey give us plenty of love and happiness. Although Rita isn’t 25 yet, she’s been active in the entertainment industry since 2007. Moreover, Lana Del Rey- formerly known as Lizzy Grant- has entertained fans for more than a decade.

Both singers bring it differently. Lana’s vocals lay back gently, while Rita exploits her hardcore throat. They’re in the spotlight because of their originality.
Do you love fast or slow songs better? Does it depend on your mood? What are your favorite songs and music videos?
You admire celebrities because they drive themselves to the brink. Jaguar received a big boost by putting Lana Del Rey out front. Remember Rita Ora is also a commercial success.


 
Currently under contact with Roc Nation, Rita is an under-appreciated asset. I’m under the impression she has a higher profile by design. Plus, Ora’s brand appeals to everyone.
Singers prefer privacy. You see concerts include Fandoms alongside stalkers. As a result, Lana is more intimate with fans than her Roc Nation contemporary.
An oracle said, “Pick your poison.” Becoming famous is a stressful process. I believe the Poison singer has figured out her purpose and is taking necessary steps.

The British born celeb is collecting English Music Royalties. Rita resembles Rihanna and M.I.A. Lana falls between Kellie Pickler and Kelly Clarkson. I like how Lana lets her lyrics roll off the tongue.
While tanning, I listen to Lana. However, at the beach house party, I choose Rita. The Young and Beautiful songstress is not restless but relaxed. Though Rita is hotter, Lana stays cool.

1970s music best singers clouds Come Together Give Peace a Chance Guru Jay Hypnosis Imagine Instant Karma John Lennon Lyrics Music peace Revolution ringtones selfies The Beatles visionaries Yoko Ono

How John Lennon’s Lyrics Hypnotize You

BY: GURU JAY


The best music bypasses the ears and goes directly to the heart. John Lennon loved music and music fans loved him in return. He truly was a passionate and compassionate man.
Whenever I listen to John Lennon’s songs, I enter an arousing state. Sometimes I can’t handle all the sensations coming in at once, because John strikes chords as well as nerves. I wonder if his music hypnotizes you.
The Beatles were the most influential music group of all time in large part because of Lennon’s dominance. Moreover, this band of brothers stopped the world on its axis, and its stage from collapsing. There is no doubt in my mind the legendary Lennon will maintain his influence on society forever.

Long before Instagram but after the Telegram, Lennon carried messages with his music. Ringtones and selfies did not exist then. Otherwise, the amazing music artist would have broken the Internet with his songs and music videos.
In the 1970s, the main ways to get into the clouds were via airplanes, jets, and helicopters. Nowadays, you don’t necessarily have to fly to Amsterdam, Denver, or Seattle to get high. You could launch a rocket.
Logging into your Gmail is another way of getting into the clouds. Things happen so fast now. It only takes me two seconds to send a comment to Mumbai, India.

Can you imagine if the Beatle were alive today? In a sense, he lives on through his legacy. His sons John and Sean, and his wife Yoko Ono honor him.
What are the best John Lennon songs?
Imagine
I believe the visionary musician was ahead of his time. The song Imagine remains relevant because the lyrics were timely and timeless. Lennon experienced the Civil Rights struggles, and so his music reflected those times.
Give Peace a Chance
What are words without deeds? Lennon’s actions matched his ideas. He represented a worthy cause. Why don’t we give peace a chance?
Revolution
Listening to Revolution will inspire you to do great things. John Lennon’s rocky voice registers 1.0 on the Richter’s scale. Check out the Nike Revolution commercial.

Come Together
There are so many great John Lennon songs. His best music was with the Beatles. Although like Revolution Come Together is technically from the band, give John most of the credit.
Instant Karma
What would you pay for an autograph? Instant Karma is a classic Lennon signature song. Without question, this is the best he ever sang.

American Gangster Barbershop Celebrity Entertainment Friday Gangsta Rap Guru Jay Hip Hop Hollywood Ice Cube Lyrics Movies Music NWA orginator original producer radio TV visionary

Ice Cube’s Three-Dimensional Vision: Originator of Music, Movies, and TV

BY: GURU JAY

Cracking smiles and flashing pearly whites is costly in the heart of the city, because in the words of Bobby Blue Bland  “ain’t no love” in town. Straight Outta Compton, Ice Cube was an originator of Gangsta Rap. He wasn’t necessarily a full-fledged American gangster, but the visionary vocalized his societal issues through penning music, movies, and TV.
It’s rare for a rapper to emerge and dominate multiple entertainment streams. The exceptional entertainer successfully diversified his talents. Moreover, his message remains untarnished after 25 years in business.
Future celebrities should take note of how Ice Cube climbed the ranks. The Captain slowly but surely grew his fandom. Don’t take a detour on Twitter or Instagram. Instead focus on growing your gifts, and realize that good things require time.
If you’re a reality TV star, more power to you. There’s no shame in going the easy route. However, the greatest entertainers grind harder than Tony Hawk on a video game.

Ice Cube is the best. What is more, he made Hollywood reserve a seat for him at the roundtable. Like a West Side storied gangster, the family man is never disconnected.
There aren’t enough cool cats and there are too many copycats. Respect this lyricist because even though they censored Cube, the rapper/ producer defiantly distributed his music. Nowadays, the radio plays duplicates. Wouldn’t you like to listen to the original for a change?
When I want to get psyched up, I play Check Yourself. What are your favorite Ice Cube songs? What are the actor’s best movies in your opinion?
I enjoyed Three Kings, Anaconda, Friday, and 21 Jump Street. But XXX: State of the Union is by far my favorite Ice flick. Although the motion picture lost money, Cube delivered a phenomenal performance; and Simon Kinberg wrote a noteworthy script. Plus, Samuel L. Jackson took command as usual.

I’ve watched Lottery Ticket and Barbershop 1, 2, and 3, at least 4 times. I’m not just trying to write impressive sentences here. I really do like Loretta Devine and Cedric the Entertainer a whole lot.
I saw Are We There Yet at the dollar show. You might find me at movie theaters 3 days a week. That’s why I may “subsidize” my movie tickets.
Did you know Are We There Yet became a TV show syndicate? On TV, Essence Atkins plays Nia Long’s role. And Ice Cube’s character has transformed into the Incredible Hulk also known as Terry Crews/ Robin Thicke on Real Husbands of Hollywood.
Due to Ice’s three-dimensional vision, the multi-talented celeb has accelerated his career along with several others. I haven’t seen Ride Along but clearly Cube’s contribution sped up Kevin Hart’s amazing career. Furthermore, Ice Cube’s music, movies, and TV show receive high praises from a wide audience.
