Starship Frolicking

Posted by Ricky D. Hall ⋅ September 26, 2012 ⋅ Leave a Comment

Doesn’t the word “Starship” sound cool? It just sounds cool doesn’t it? What do you think of when you hear the word? I think Star Trek stuff, because, well Star Trek is the Shiznite as you must know. I’ve written about wanting a starship before, but that’s because I really do. I really want a Starship. Those thing are so cool! Why haven’t we invented one yet? We just have space shuttles. Space shuttles are okay except for the lack of that good oxygen, some gravity, room to break dance, horrid weapons of planetary destruction, and faster than light speeds. I need those things in my life

Could you imagine having your own ship? I can. It would be sleek and beautiful. A pristine construct of architectural perfection. It would have a metallic purplish hue and the shields would make it glow brilliantly. It would be like a bright diamond among those sparkly little star thingies. Of course it would be armed to the teeth and I would be rocking that good leather as is the custom for the rugged handsome Star ship Captain. I’d be a Captain. Don’t ask how I got the rank I would just be the Legendary Captain Ricky Hall. Also don’t ask how I became legendary it just kind of happened. Just take my word for it I’m a trustful person. My second in command would be some weird sage alien lady. Let’s say some sort of neon green girl with hot pink long tentacles. Commander Glieanxuact Gomethatg. Don’t bother pronouncing it. I just typed random letters….In fact try to pronounce it. Whatever you pronounce that’s the name. I’m completely fine with that!

The greatness about Star Ships is what they represent. Exploration, advancement, and hope. These are good things. They are ridiculously powerful and are what allow us to see things we thought we’d never see. Like Klingons! Bumpy headed dudes with horrible teeth who like to hurl sharp objects at you, sing weird songs, curse you out in a language that isn’t real, and all for some reason rock hair styles mostly found in an eighties biker gang. Who wouldn’t want that? Who wouldn’t want to be caught in an intergalactic war with a hostile reptile alien race who are being lead by immortal liquid creatures who hate you because you have organs? Who doesn’t want that? As long as you have the good Star ship you’ll be fine. That’s how it works! You’ll just ride through that war like a roller coaster ride. Yes you might lose your best friend, or in my case my neon green wise alien sage commander with the cool pink tentacle hair, but you won’t die. You’re the Captain so you get to be sad for awhile, say something inspiring, and save the day with your bad ass Star Ship! Then there’s celebrations, gifts, a hug or two, perhaps a high five, and one of them fancy bravery medals. Of course after that you have to fight another war. Probably Robots. Everybody has to fight robots eventually. Those guys hate everything.

So yea, conclusion, Star ships are awesome. Get one if you can, pick me up and let’s get this adventure thing started!

Album Review | Futuristic Definitely Knows How to ‘Dream Big’

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ February 22, 2012 ⋅ Leave a Comment

Do you have a morning anthem? You know, that song you listen to every single morning in order to have the strength to conquer the day. Or perhaps you’re like me and have a few songs in rotation. Whether it be one song or a few, I think every one (especially music junkies) needs to have an anthem they listen to every morning (or at least some point in the day.)

Currently my morning playlist consist of some of my favorite house tracks, but upon hearing Futuristic’s new album Dream Big, I think I might have stumbled upon my new morning anthem; Futuristic’s album entitled song “Dream Big.” Like seriously dude, dream big! How much better of a morning anthem can you find? It’s surely a track that will appease the hip-hop lovers, but then it’s also a nice inspirational track that even the non-hip-hop fans can enjoy.

And for those of you worried that it might be another rapper attempting to sing his own chorus in order to impress the ladies (which is usually a fail when rappers who can’t sing try to,) don’t be worried. Futuristic is not only extremely talented, but he is musically wise. Instead of attempting to sing a chorus and parading around a with big ego saying “I do everything by myself” like most rappers do, he actually worked with vocalist Jerrin Jaramillo (present on other tracks as well) to make “Dream Big” a nice fusion of hip-hop with an R&B vibe.

“Dream Big” is a pretty awesome track, but it’s just the start of an even more collection of awesomesauce. Every track on Futuristic’s album Dream Big brings something unique to the entire project. The production by AKT Aktion is pure perfection! You’ve got a mixture of tracks with a chill hip-hop vibe, to tracks such as “Fuck You Mean” which can totally be a banger. Futuristic even goes hip-hop/rock with his track “Can’t Handle Me,” another great track on his album that has Futuristic dropping his usual witty & swag driven rhymes.

After listening to each track on the album, I can honestly say that I think Futuristic could easily make it big. I mean he’s already dreaming big, so now all he needs to do is make it big. He’s got quite a knack for being versatile in his delivery as well as his subject matter, and you know that’s definitely a good thing. I can’t stand when rappers just always release an ignorant conglomerate of tracks, but Futuristic switches it up. He can be outlandishly raw to the point where you have to rewind his lyrics & laugh at his epic absurdities (check out his track “Reviews”), but then he can still be fresh & clean with some lyrics that don’t ensue laughs (always good laughter when listening to Futuristic,) but tracks that inspire provocative thought.

So at the end of the day, I have to say that I’m totally in love with Futuristic’s new album Dream Big. And coming from someone that barely bothers to listen to hip-hop nowadays due to the lack of creativity and the brain freeze lyrics on the radio, it’s impressive that his album actually caught my attention longer than a few minutes. It’s good music. No complaints from me. So what are you guys waiting for? Go listen to his album & download it! Seriously, are you still waiting? Go….now!

I know that I’m a huge house fanatic, but every now and then I’ll throw on some hip-hop & chill out. But if you’ve read my blog in the past, you know I’m all about finding artists that aren’t quite famous, but they have music that is worth checking out. Sidenote: Remember, if you happen to be a musician, filmmaker, designer, etc and have something worth showing to the world, then feel free to send it my way & I will blog on. Email me at: askmethink25@hotmail.com

Okay, now that we’ve covered that, lets get back to topic of this post, Futuristic. So since I’m always running across new artists, you might recall that not too long ago I wrote about Futuristic (Mr I Had To Do It), an upcoming rapper from Arizona. He’s had the opportunity to share the stage with MGK, Yelawolf, Afroman, E-40, Yung Berg, Sean Kingston, YG, Snoop Dogg, and the New Boyz. He has been making quite the name for himself, and his latest track “F*ck You Mean” is one that you can’t help to listen to it.

The beat is dope! But not only does the song have a good beat, the video is pretty hilarious & as usual Futuristic does his thing with the typical swag that basically resonates with his slogan, “Mr I Had To Do It.” I don’t know what he had to do, but whatever it was…he did it.

Peep the visuals for Futuristic’s “F*ck You Mean” below & be sure to cope his album Dream Big when it drops on February 19th.

Futuristic(Mr I Had To Do It) Remixes Childish Gambino – “Bonfire”

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ November 10, 2011 ⋅ 2 Comments

You guys remember that artist Futuristic I wrote about a few days ago? Well you know lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Childish Gambino, and I even blogged about his latest video for his track “Bonfire.” The beat on that song goes so hard! Not only does that song have an insane beat, but Childish Gambino drops some masterful rhymes. It’s currently one of my favorite songs and videos out now, but Futuristic decided to release his remix video for the song. If you’re a fan of “Bonfire” and the video, then you’ve got to check out Futuristic’s “Bonfire (Remix.)”

Instead of just simply giving us a solid remix of the song, Futuristic actually has a music video for the remix. In the original song Gambino is caught up in this summer camp concept and realizes he is actually a ghost, but Futuristic decides to tackle the zombie scenario; in his video you get to see him kick some zombie ass, while still having undeniable swagg. I’ve got admit, I’m a huge fan of the original, but the remix by Futuristic is really good!
