Is Bad Bunny the New Sound of Rap Music?

Bad Bunny will perform at the Grammys Sunday February 5, 2023. Are you looking forward to watching the Puerto Rican rapper perform? It’s going to be all you thought and more. Isn’t he the man of the hour? Where are my Bad Bunny fans? Did you see his 2020 Super Bowl performance? Where do I start this discussion off at?

First, Bad Bunny is out to prove a point. That’s why his music is out there. Have you ever heard a bad Bad Bunny song? No, right? Also, the Grammys are only the tip of the iceberg of his resume. In addition to this, he’s the headliner of the Coachella festival in April along with Frank Ocean and BLACKPINK. This 28-year-old has built a strong fan base with millions of followers. His Instagram has 44 million followers and counting. For some reason, it’s private right now. There is a lot of good stuff to say about Bad Bunny. Despite his fame, he’s managing things quite well. Going into the Grammys, he’s probably the biggest name performing. 

I believe we can compare him with Pitbull and Drake. Like Pitbull, he represents his heritage well. And like Drake, he presents a lover boy image too. His future is bright. The star is not only shining but rising. What is more, the music artist does not need to sing in English. If you want to listen to the rapper and understand his lyrics, it will help if you spoke a little Spanish. 

What’s Up?

Are you a fan? What are some of your favorite songs and music videos by this music artist? You can find him on Youtube and Spotify. And if you really want to get to know about him, check out his Wikipedia and Britannica pages. There’s so much I learned about the rapper from reading these sources.

So far, did you know his discography includes 5 studio albums, 94 singles, 1 Extended Play and 1 Compilation? He’s put in a lot of hard work and the effort shows. That’s a lot of content the celebrity has been building since 2013. Make no mistake about it, the entertainer isn’t going away despite taking a break from social media. In fact, his Grammys and Coachella performances tell a different story.

I came up with an idea of a Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK collaboration. Together they could appeal to a huge audience uniting Latinos and Asians. Don’t you feel music needs something like this? What is more, it’s only a matter of time before Bad Bunny sings in English. Hold up for a minute. Imagine the possibility of a Spanish, Korean, and English single. How wild would that music video be?

Experimenting

Entertainment is an experimental space full of possibilities. Music can take us places only dreams do. We are familiar with his collaborations with J Balvin and Jennifer Lopez. What if he performed with country music singers? By now in 2023, you should know anything could happen. Did you see Sam Smith and Kim Petras Saturday Night Live performance? Bad Bunny isn’t afraid to make a statement himself. Go back through the archives and you’ll find he’s a risk taker.

His latest album, Un Verano Sin Ti, translates in English as A Summer Without You. This album is number one on the U.S. and U.S. Latin music charts. Tití Me Preguntó released on June 1, 2022, was the song of the summer. Please tell me you’ve seen the music video by now. To wrap it up, with his album going 5 x platinum, Bad Bunny is the new sound of rap music.

Why Janet Jackson and Lauryn Hill Are Natural Phenomena

BY: GURU JAY


Believe it or not, many celebrities enjoy their private worlds. Unless you’re a reality star like Kourtney Kardashian or Kendall Jenner, you don’t desire to sign autographs while spending family time. Because Janet Jackson keeps to herself, it’s rare seeing the superstar caught up in a scandal. That’s why Jackson’s Super Bowl scene is out of the ordinary.
The beautiful Janet looks like a cross between Beyoncé and Halle Berry. She’s very conscious about appearances. Moreover, Miss Jackson is famous in her own right and not just Michael Jackson’s sister.
When I was a teenager I watched Jackson’s music videos all day long on MTV and VH1. She has the best choreography. Plus, she is an amazing dancer.
The ultimate entertainer must master many molds of entertainment. That’s why Janet is a trained actress. She started on Good Times as a little girl. Now, the Poetic Justice star has played in 3 Tyler Perry movies.
No one gets on her level just because of sexiness. Yes, the All for You singer cleans up nicely, but she commands the scene as well. People need icons to celebrate, and Jackson definitely meets the criteria.
Ideally, celebrities operate on a higher plane. When you’re as famous as Janet you can’t engage in every battle. We all should live by Janet’s motto. Next time when you and your partner get into an argument just ask them “What have you done for me lately?”
Janet Jackson markets her brand like Prince. She makes moves when, where, and how she wants. It takes guts to stand up to the Paparazzi. Janet doesn’t play their game or feed into their maniacal questions.
Although the former Virgin label singer is quiet and shy, she is also exotic and mysterious.

When my Usher album won’t suffice, I listen to Mystery of Iniquity singer Lauryn Hill. I admire Lauryn because she created her own category. The Ex Factor was one of the first female singers/rappers.

Although Lauryn Hill has a sweet smile, she frowns on corporate politics. Kanye West said it best “I wish her heart was still in rhyming.” Her time with the Fugees was valuable. Remember Killing Me Softly, Nothing Even Matters, and Doo-Wop (That Thing). Don’t forget Lauryn was one of the most celebrated singers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 
1998’s the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went number 1. And 2002’s MTV Unplugged No 2.0 was number 2. Furthermore, Hill received numerous awards for her music. While Lauryn’s work is scarce, she is strong. What’s more, she influences today’s music artists.
Lauryn lets it all go to the point she bares her soul. On the other hand, Janet Jackson gives you just enough so you’ll come back for more. I would like to see a Lauryn and Janet collaborative concert. 

Lauryn Hill and Janet Jackson are successful in different ways. Yet, they are one and the same. If Janet is a hurricane, then Lauryn Hill is a tornado.

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?
