The Notorious K.I.T.T.Y: kitty timberlake - "R.R.E.A.M." (Wu-Tang Clan?)

I just turned 25 a few months ago, but "Tumblr rappers" like kitty pryde really make me feel like a terribly out-of-touch old man! Thanks to my older cousins, I was raised on a steady diet of Wu-Tang Clan, No Doubt, Beastie Boys, Blink-182, Now #1-5, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Biggie, Sublime, etc. The 20-year-old, freckle-faced songstress manages to shout out "CHEETAH GIRLS, HILLARY DUFF, JUSTIN BIEBER, S-CLUB 7, ATOMIC KITTEN & CLAIRE'S INC." on her Facebook Influences section; AKA a bunch of 90's-bred shit that I'd really be surprised if she was actually influenced by, cause I was about 11 in 1998 (S-Club 7), but maybe. Bottom line, a lot of kitty's [sarcastic] Tumblr-fied inside jokes and punchlines fly right over my head. I guess that 5-year age gap really does make a difference sometimes! Like what's up with all these weird acronyms? - D.A.I.S.Y. Rage EP and R.R.E.A.M. = Rash Rules Everything Around Me. I mean, I get the Wu-Tang "C.R.E.A.M." reference, but WTF is rash!? @kittaveli cryptically Tweeted, "HEY this is my new single about rashes and mean ppl prank calling me" late Wednesday afternoon.

Whatever the case may be, kitty pryde's rapping skills have most def improved by leaps and bounds since haha, i'm sorry EP (Summer 2012). I'd imagine she's had a steady diet of Danny Brown, Wu-Tang Clan, Greedhead, MF DOOM, Britney Spears, and J Dilla since kick-starting her Hip-Hop career last summer, party as a joke gone super-serious. "R.R.E.A.M." is the third and final pre-single pulled from D.A.I.S.Y. Rage EP before it's release (Jan. 31st), right behind "dead island" and "ay shawty" with Lakutis... unless you count "hittin' lix" and "how 2 b a heartbreaker???" (Remix). For what it's worth, it should be noted that pryde also subbed in "Bena-Bena-dryl" instead of Shalolin's CLASSIC "dolla dolla bill" refrain throughout "R.R.E.A.M." In addition to her own NEW material, kitty pryde supposedly laid down a few verses for Danny Brown and LE1F's upcoming projects, Old/Fly Zone; and hopefully something's brewin' between her Twitter BFF's, KREAYSHAWN and Grimes!

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
