I started this blog in hopes to give my friends and family a better picture of the vast amounts of truly great music which is out there, waiting to be heard, hummed, air-guitared and finger-tapped along to. I consider myself to be a fairly well-informed and rounded music enthusiast, but even I know there is much to be heard and discovered constantly, so thats what I try and do on a daily basis. This is one of the many reasons for Info For Your Eardrums inception. I am fairly new to this, but as it goes on I will hopefully be updating this fairly regularly with some great stuff from all genres for you to hear. With that being said, here we go...
Normally I wouldn't start with such an explosive post, but this really caught my eye as one of the more powerful videos I've seen in a long, long time. It's for M.I.A.'s new song "Born Free" off her upcoming, yet-to-be named album which is scheduled to release in June. This video is highly violent and possibly offensive. It also contains some nudity which will also lend to its NSFW tag. The song itself is a sprawling epic with thumping drums and brief guitar riffs scattered throughout, all topped with M.I.A.'s echoing voice. Here it is:
RAP SINCE 1997 SUCKS....PRETTY MUCH ALL U HAVE TO DO NOW IS HAVE A STUPID DANCE AND MATCH LYRICS TO IT WITH A CATCHY CHORUS...NIGGAS DONT RIP THE MIC LIKE REN, CUBE, BIGGIE, RAKIM....I HEARD THE CROFTON RAP GAME IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE THO....BY THE WAY...I KNOW THIS NIGGA NAMED DEZ
Yo, you definitely hit the nail on the head describing this video as powerful. It's pretty twisted, as well. I would be interested to hear a little background about M.I.A. It seems like her lyrics are pretty political but I've never paid enough attention to catch message.
At any rate, I like where your head is at with this blog. Keep up the good work, good sir.
Miles, yeah M.I.A. does tend to get a little political with her stuff, but I tend not to pay attention to it. This video though, damn, it is some wild stuff so I had to share. Thanks for the support guy.
