Mwalim turned it up slightly and began to sing along and even started scatting as Simone's rapid-fire, Pentacostal church styled piano solo danced around her vocal invocations of "power".</p><p>Mwalim explained that the legendary jazz singer and pianist had a major effect on his development as a pianist and singer. "When I was trying to figure out how to play and sing at the same time, it was listening to my mother's and grandparent's Nina Simone albums that helped me figure it out." Nina Simone, who was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon, was a church raised, classically trained concert pianist who began playing jazz, blues and soul at cocktail lounges in Atlantic City and the Greenwich Village section of New York. Her signature contralto to low tenor vocals neatly woven into her percussive piano playing style became an iconic elements in the jazz world.</p><p>"We have the same vocal range, so it was easier for me to find my voice in her style than it was in singers like Ray Charles or Joe Tex." Mwalim, who began his career as a studio session player and accompanist, had not sang in public until he was in his mid twenties, prior to that serving as a vocal coach for singers in the various bands that eh played with. One night the singer for a band didn't show up for the gig, leaving Mwalim to front as the singer for the night. "I made it through the night doing a Nina Simone impersonation... of course, she never sang 'Groove Me' by Guy, but singing it the way she would was a lot easier for me than trying to sound like Aaron Hall."</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WoCqlBnVTfM?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>Building off of Simone's platform, Mwalim went on to win awards for his vocal work in jazz, including three Urban Music Awards, four Silver Arrow Awards, three Native American Music Award nominations, and of course The GroovaLottos four Grammy nominations. In addition, Simone's work as a Civil Right activist also had an impact on The GroovaLottos commitment to social and economic justice.</p><p>The GroovaLottos will be at Gilda's Stone Rooster on March 17. 27 Wareham Rd, Marion, MA.

Spine-tingling <i>fear</i> and the aggression that can be found in the depths of the human spirit that resides in all of us ( even those with a "sunny" disposition ). Are we brave enough to tap into it? Are we able to go so deep into forsaken and/or unforeseen waters that we can at worst get lost in it and can't find our way out? Or will we be liberated and set free by standing face to face with what scares us most? West seems to abashedly find home dwelling in the darkest places of the human mind. Whether he finds "peace" there or plagues him in all waking aspects of his existence, through his subconscious he releases these demons to depict the chaos that resides in the world we all live in. West has the ability to take what is fact from his worldview and translate it in the way that will best affect us; visually and through listening. The artistic elements and the down to the bone attacking truth West is known for gives you exactly the type of feeling you fear or feel empowered ( even if it's dark ) by. In "Black Skinhead" there are many points of view to see and declaring the result to be either positive or negative is cutting short of everything it comprises. Paying homage? Embracing? Mocking? or SHOCK-Value? Perhaps multiple reasons with many answers to compile together.</div><div style="text-align:left;"></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div><table class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;" align="center" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-via3mMqW0DE/UjKay6akKvI/AAAAAAAAC78/pfVL6M4j5yo/s1600/Blk+Skinhead+4.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-via3mMqW0DE/UjKay6akKvI/AAAAAAAAC78/pfVL6M4j5yo/s400/Blk+Skinhead+4.jpg" border="0" height="265" width="400" alt="Blk+Skinhead+4.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:small;"><i>Live on SNL</i> "Black Skinhead"</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align:center;"></div></div><div style="text-align:center;">INTENSE MEDIA CONTENT: For Mature Audiences</div><div style="text-align:center;"><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xuhl6Ji5zHM?wmode=opaque"></iframe></div><br />The hard-edge hip-hop combo melded very well together with a <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1707623/kanye-west-saturday-night-live-yeezus.jhtml" target="_blank">melody culled from Marilyn Manson's 1996 hit "The Beautiful People.</a> <a href="http://www.vibe.com/article/snl-kanye-west-debuts-new-track-black-skinhead" target="_blank">Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter, who laid down the live and programmed drums for the LP, said that West was "kind of screaming primally, actually” through the recording session.</a> <a href="http://www.vibe.com/article/snl-kanye-west-debuts-new-track-black-skinhead" target="_blank"></a>Ray Rahman of <i><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" title="Entertainment Weekly">Entertainment Weekly</a></i> cited "Black Skinhead" as one of the album's best songs, describing it as "a galloping punk-rap manifesto". <a href="http://www.vibe.com/article/snl-kanye-west-debuts-new-track-black-skinhead" target="_blank">The backbeat is a revamped take on Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll" aka "The Hey Song".</a> The "NOT FOR SALE" instantly triggered the word Slavery for me.<br /><br /><table class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;" align="center" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MpUFGeGRRbY/UjKb6D5qgCI/AAAAAAAAC8I/Hkrd7JNAiAk/s1600/Blk+Skinhead+2.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MpUFGeGRRbY/UjKb6D5qgCI/AAAAAAAAC8I/Hkrd7JNAiAk/s1600/Blk+Skinhead+2.jpg" border="0" alt="Blk+Skinhead+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:small;"><i>Live on SNL</i> <b>Kanye West</b> "New Slaves" <i>NOT FOR SALE visualization</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> Black Slavery in American history. The tone is already racially political in nature. The "New Slaves" price tag flashes across in the visual behind him and it sets a new mindset towards today's world with racism. Is it worse? Is it transformed into a new form with today's generation? Kanye forces us to think and consider so much that it can be overwhelming. It is chain-breaking. The rising crescendo in his word delivery intensifies like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. It definitely ruffles your feathers and works your body up. An announcement, call to action, rallying the army to get ready for a fight. By the shows end I was stunned and felt like I had been abused.

Even though they wore black and colors ranging from various spectrum of the rainbow ( when skin "color" is the issue in their eyes ). The image of black dogs blended into the blackness of the background violently barking and howling places you at a time of the hunt during slavery, when escaped slaves were hunted down by their owners and decades later when the KKK hunted blacks "to teach them a lesson" reminding them of their place in society.<br /><br />Art elements and symbolism are very strong with the usage of white and black to continuously remind us what West is pushing us to understand and to stay <i>focused</i> on. The contrast of black and white, what separates us and pulls us together, the interchangeable strong emotions that can come from either side.<br /> The triangle shapes to mimic the cone shape or <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/4112197/kanye-west-releases-black-skinhead-video" target="_blank">"spires"</a> of the masked-hats the KKK wears - from black to white. The group circle of shirtless bald black men ( digital graphic multiples of Kanye possibly ) giving you the organizational mannerism and regiment with "skinheads" based upon their proposed mission or purpose to fulfill.

This whole racial prejudice I've come to believe came from a separation of a movement that started off with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead#cite_note-Mods-4" target="_blank">youths in the late 1950's taking disposable income from the post-war economic boom and using it as a way to keep up with the latest fashion popularized by American soul groups, British R&B bands, movie actors, and so on.</a> When there's a paradox of this kind using two <i>extreme</i> words "Black" and "Skinhead" you have the idea right in place because the movement for Skinhead separated into Political extremism (right or left) and White-Power groups.</div><br /><i>Bling</i> Dictionary defines skinhead as:<br /><div class="crch"><div class="ans3"><ol class="sc_ol1 dt_ol"><li>somebody with shaved head: somebody whose hair is very short or whose head is shaved</li><li>short hairstyle: a closely-cropped hairstyle</li><li>racist young white man: one of a group of young white men with closely-cropped or shaven hair, characterized by extreme right-wing views and aggressive behavior</li></ol><br />The most noted that I'm familiar with is the 3rd definition unfortunately. West characterizes the aggression to a <i>T</i> and you're feeling it throughout the media. I'm sure many of you like myself will find it fascinating to know <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead#cite_note-3" target="_blank">a skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in London, England in the 1960s and then soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom, and later to other countries around the world. Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle.[1] Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race but, since then, race and politics have become factors by which some skinheads align themselves. The political spectrum within the subculture now ranges from far right to far left, although many skinheads are apolitical.[2] Contemporary skinhead fashions range from clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced styles to less-strict punk and hardcore influenced styles.</a></div><div class="ans3"></div><div class="ans3"><br />Would it be so candid to say that his vision could also be implying "black power" too?

West describes America as a place where people “see a black man with a white woman at the top floor” and “come to kill King Kong” and rips Catholics and “conservative Baptists” for fearing him “claiming I’m overreacting like them black kids in Chiraq”; “Chiraq” being a combination of Chicago and Iraq, is a reference to the high levels of violent crime in the city.</a></div><div style="text-align:center;"><br />The Last word echoes with disturbance in my membrane God...God...<i><b>God...God...</b></i><b><span style="font-size:small;">GOD</span>! 11 times.</b><br />If that doesn't send chills up your spine then you're one tough cookie!

It may be hard for many to understand especially if it touches a soft spot with the focus on racially tinged trigger words and subject matter. But if you're able to dissect the Artist's work Kanye truly is a master at his craft. We all can attest from his past work that he is gifted in his field. He has a lot on his mind whether "pleasant or controversial." But he has something to say and takes music and media artistically to higher heights.<br /><br /><table class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;" align="center" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63zI84x91Yo/Uilq_N255EI/AAAAAAAACxE/gF57cBARSfI/s1600/Black+Skinhead+2.jpg" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63zI84x91Yo/Uilq_N255EI/AAAAAAAACxE/gF57cBARSfI/s1600/Black+Skinhead+2.jpg" border="0" alt="Black+Skinhead+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:small;"><i>Kanye's handwritten lyrics</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:left;">Surprising news giving a complete <i>Uh Oh it's gonna be sumthin!</i> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Skinhead" target="_blank">remix with Miley Cyrus recorded Aug 25.</a> After her VMA's performance twerking the mess out on Robin Thicke's (No pun on "Thicke) groin and doing the worst with a foam finger <i>lol</i> what could possibly be in store for this duo to shock us even more with a remix to the already nerve rattling, menacing, bad ass work of West Art.</div><br />Learn more about the origins of how the term "skinhead" started <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead" target="_blank">here</a><br />You will be amazed at how it started and how it came to be known for what it is today.<br /><br />What are your thoughts about the live performance, video, and message Kanye is trying to tell us.<br />What is your view on Kanye's message to the world using the extreme words "Black & Skinhead" as a song title?</div><div style="text-align:center;">Share your comments below.</div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div></div></div></div></div>Drake 'Too Much' LIVE Premiere on Jimmy Fallon Including Would You Like A Tour? In Octoberhttps://www.theblacklist.net/profiles/blogs/drake-too-much-live-premiere-on-jimmy-fallon-including-would-you2013-09-18T21:01:54.000Z2013-09-18T21:01:54.000ZSerenadas Penhttps://www.theblacklist.net/members/SerenadasPen<div><p><a href="http://www.gumbumper.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DRAKE-Too-Much.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-110461" alt="DRAKE Too Much" src="http://www.gumbumper.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DRAKE-Too-Much.jpg" height="499" width="799" /></a></p><p><em>Originally Aired Friday 13, 2013 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show</em></p><p>Ever since last night I've been listening to "Too Much" over, over, and <em>over</em> again... And it seems to get better <em>every</em> time. I've tuned in to it through my speakers and with my headphones and of course when you go Hi-Def you're gonna hear every thang! You'll receive that layer that is signature in many Drake's songs. Either way it goes, nothing can surpass a moment in the spotlight with his pianist/singer guest Sampha. All I can hear in my head repetitively are the keys to the piano and Sampha's signature line "Don't think about it too much, too much, too much, <em>too much".</em> This single debuted live on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, last night Friday Sept 13 which not only gave Fallon bragging rights but also announced upcoming tour beginning October 9 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois <a href="http://www.unitedcenter.com/events/2013/10/drake-would-you-like-a-tour/">[click here]</a> with R&B's hottest contemporary edition Miguel as his crooning wing-man for all the sets. It's gonna be sizzlin.'</p><p>Drake's message at the beginning letting his family know "...[he] wants the best for everybody and he loves them" is giving us the premise of the 13-track album (and Deluxe with bonus tracks "Come Thru" and "All Me"). Expect it all to come through when he states:</p><blockquote>I'm trying to get back to that kid in the basement. To say what he has to say. And I'm trying to make it last.</blockquote><p>When an Artist tells you what they want to do then they will provide. Drake's direct and impassioned delivery gives this single the contrast and rawness to voice his story thoroughly. The content will put you more in his shoes and allow you to walk in them. For the 26 year old to reach a distinctive mindset in his life while still so young can be a catalyst for all of us to come to grips with our pasts and to face the future with it left behind and not holding us back.</p><p>I'm <em>Ready!</em> Are you Ready Kool World to hear what the man is talking about? It's going to be something you've never heard before and he's going to bring it. Personally I think it's great he wants to make music and not just throw track after track of rap music. Remember back in the day when it was the norm for Rap Artists to have actual singers/musicians on their tracks and it made you <em>feel</em> like you're getting a full perspective of their message? Perhaps made you boogie down just a lil' bit more. Maybe I'm the only one preaching to the choir but that was the kinda stuff I was diggin. There seems to be a revival so hopefully cats will catch on and bring that flavor back.</p><p>Make sure to check out when the tour will be coming to your locale destination and buy your tickets <a href="http://m.ticketmaster.com/Drake-tickets/artist/1319371">here</a>. There's going to be guest appearances including ATL Rap Artist Future as hopefully one of many on the line-up.
