k. michelle's answer

trend alert?

with the 9th annual international cornhole cup rapidly approaching (june 14, jicyww), i've been brushing up on what the kids are listening to, and i noticed a thing.


this is a new song by jeremih featuring YG, which i shared with you as a potential song of the summer. it features a (pretty loose) sample from 90's clurb anthem "rhythm is a dancer".




this is a new song by kid ink featuring chris brown, and i noticed it sounded pretty much exactly the same. the sample in this one is from the 90's clurb anthem "show me love" by robin s.


the answer to this riddle is that both tracks were produced by some guy named dj mustard, who is clearly phoning it in. you can recognize him by his "mustard on tha beat" calling card. i guess it's not really a trend if it's just one guy repeating the same formula. i hope it catches on though because i'm enjoying the aesthetic.

on a side note: what are the odds that two songs called "show me love" would be released in the same year by people named robin / robyn?


UPDATE: ugh here's another song that sounds exactly the same.


come on, dj mustard.

rihanna's terrible boyfriend is such a pathetic loser he can barely even clap when frank ocean wins the award chris brown wanted

in the stupid white suit.

on sunday chris brown punched frank ocean in a dispute over a parking space

The internet hates Chris Brown and loves Frank Ocean. How do you think this is going to turn out? Chris Brown is an idiot to keep getting into fights with beloved R&B artists. He is a hot head with serious anger management issues and Rihanna needs to watch her back. Hit me twice, shame on you! via

which new chris brown song to you like best?

chris brown (feat. wiz khalifa + big sean) - till i die


chris brown (feat. nicki minaj) - right by my side

new music tuesday.

well, of course we need to address the most obvious thing. here's rihanna's collaboration with ex-bf / abuser chris brown. i heard on hot 97 that they're actually back together. both this news and this re-working of 'birthday cake' are disappointing. i had high hopes, but this extended version is underwhelming. that being said, i'm sure i'll still be dancing to it at the 6th annual international cornhole tournament. (it's coming....)


here's another track from santigold. i'm glad she's back.


and here's everybody being impersonated on SNL. kristen wiig nails it.

and finally, listen to grimes's new album on spotify!

from her birthday party, which chris brown attended.

that's a joint that she's riding, not a chipotle.

oh no

i thought that THIS would never happen.

some interesting rihanna news coming out of the grammys.

number one: did you see how hot she looked? she has been really working on her fitness and she looks amazing. her performance was pretty strong too.

number two: word on the street is that next week birthday cake will be released as a new full length single featuring a guest artist that will "shock the world." speculation says that it may be chris brown, as they were seen leaving the same recording studio last week.

miranda lambert agrees that chris brown is a douche

song of the summer : candidate # 1

chris brown (feat. timbaland + big sean) - paper scissors rock

what only adults should be listening to.

don't worry, deej. it's been ok for a while.

the oldest song on the internet.

i never heard this chris brown song "deuces" before, even though it's like 8 months old. starla is supposed to be on top of telling me what the kids are listening to. she really dropped the ball, didn't she? luckily, swiperboy showed it to me on his latest mixtape. i really like it! and the video too!


here's a remix featuring kanye, drizzy, andre 300, and more! song of last summer!!
