Tell the Grammys, fuck'em 0 for 8 Shit!!!

-

So the world came to a standstill, 'Everything Is Love' is now out and about. An Album with the highest possible profile collab of 'The Queen' and Jay-Z, announced live in their London On the Run II Concert day. Essentiallly finishing a trilogy after Lemonade and 4:44, arguably the finest works of 2016 and 2017, now The Carters are back with another one in 2018.

Everything Is Love is a compact album with 9 tracks, essentially rap/hip-hop duets of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, talking about their deepest feelings of loses and triumphs, and let me tell you- its Triumph through and through. Now available on all major platforms including Tidal, iTunes and Spotify.

THE BAD- Still looking for'em.

THE GOOD- Theres a lot to talk here. Everything Is Love is a mature, well balanced and still new at its core. It goes without saying Beyoncé outshines her husband through out. But then she is she, and we are all more than happy about it. The first single- Apeshit was released on youTube with an accompanying video shot at the freaking Louvre, Paris. The single talks about their arduous journey as a married couple of professionals, their kids and of course their victories, in the best of Burberry, Givenchy and Chanel especially crafted for her majesty. Extravagant- is the word I'm looking for.

                  I'm a gorilla in the fuckin' coop, finna pull up in the zoo
                  I'm like Chief Keef meet Rafiki, who been Lion King to you
                  Pocket watch it like kangaroos, tell these clowns we ain't amused
                  Banana clips for that monkey business, 4-5 got change for you
                  Motor cade when we came through, Presidential with the planes too
                  One better get you with the residential, Undefeated with the cane too
                  I said no to the Superbowl, you need me, I don't need you
                  Every night we in the endzone, tell the NFL we in stadiums too
                  Last night was a fuckin' zoo, stagedivin' in a pool of people
                  Ran through Liverpool like a fuckin' Beatle 
                  Smoke gorilla glue like it's fuckin'
                  Tell the Grammys Fuck,em 0 for 8 Shit !
                  Have you ever seen Crowd going Apeshit !!!                                              -Jay-Z

 Talking about Rap, we all know Beyoncé is a perfectionist. Her autotuned echoing voice fills the beats with so much power, and rhythm, u just cant help but dissolve in it. Some of the best artworks of Human History are displayed- Monalisa, Napolean, David etc, and Black Music. Louvre, which was built in 12th century as a fortress on the blood and sweat of Egyptian and Black slaves now has two black people standing on top of it, renting it, owning it. Its a Celebration of Art, and the power and influence that comes with it.


Some other tracks that I have so far deciphered would be Boss, Nice, 713 and Friends. Boss is my favourite track so far. A slow going, thick beats coupled with Beyoncé's sultry vocals, its the song of the summer for me. Unless Nicki upstages it with 'Queen'.    
             
                 So I bought my momma a whip ,
                 My great-great-grandchildren already rich ,
                 That's a lot of brown children on your Forbes list ,
                 Probably looking around my compound on my fortress, boss 
                 I be ridin' around with my seat reclining ,
                 Droppin' my daughter off at school every morning ,
                 We slammin' car doors, I be true balling on these bum whores ,
                 You ain't talking about nothing, I ain't got no time, boss
                 Chill, tell them pets they gotta relax (you tried it!)
                 Toes in the sand, momma gettin' fast !!!                                                   -Beyoncé 

 713 is another masterpiece on the album. Keeping the feet grounded to the soil, the Billion dollar couple did not forget to pay homage to her hometown Houston, Texas and all their dedicated fans. Beyoncé on steroids, high pitch, autotuned while Jay-Z cracks on the rap with wolves howling in the background. It sounds epic and will Blow your mind.

                 Cash, hit deposit, 24-carat faucets
                 Louis V and Goyard trunks all in the closet
                 Ain’t shit change, the streets is still watching
                 And my little baby Blue is like, “Who gone stop us, huh?”                      -Jay-Z

                  Ain’t no way to stop this love, ain’t no space if everything is love
                 Representing for my hustlers all across the world (still)
                 Still dippin’ in my low-lows, girl! (still)
                 I put it down for the 713 and we still got love for the streets (ow!)          -Beyoncé 

THE BEST- So while I am desperately waiting for Nicki Minaj's QUEEN scheduled for August 10th, this was a great big surprise from the music's own Royal Couple. I am already acquainted with Beyoncé body of work, while maintaining she is one of the most (if not 'the' most) talented artists to have ever walked on the face of Earth. Considering the level of artwork that was Lemonade, Beyoncé absolutely won me over with it. She sets the bar higher each time she sings for herself, and by extension everyone else. Everything Is Love is no exception, especially when you have 21 Grammy winning Hip-Hop legend at your side on each track.

With that said, Everything Is Love surpasses all their previous work so far, in flair, passion, enigma, power and luxury. As an album it is so cohesive, as if The Carters were inviting me into their house and entertaining me with whats on their mind. Love, power, pain, revenge, family, friends and their deceits all packed into one awesome package. I will score it 5 out of 5 stars. For its vibrance, lyrics and boldness. I may be biased here but Hey!! that's my opinion. Everyone who has ever liked Bey-Jay will undoubtedly love this album cuz its their finest so far.

Haters!!! Work hard and Prepare for UPSC!!! Its not your cup of tea...

Leaving you with  Apeshit!!!

Most Memorable Villans Ever- My perspective

More than the heroes its the villains that entice me, in general and in entertainment. Over the years the spectrum of con characters was widened incredibly. Its not just black and white anymore. Every person has a balance of goodness and darkness in them, which is now thankfully reflected more and more in entertainment world. I like my antagonists whimsical, bitchy and glamourous. I have written a lot about actors and icons so I thought why not bring spotlight to some brilliant villains. Here's my list. Let me know your views... 6. Captain Chantel DuBois (Madagascar 3) Wikipedia says " Captain Chantel DuBois (voiced by Frances McDormand) is a Monegasque animal control officer and the main antagonist of the third Madagascar movie. She is the best animal control officer in Monte Carlo with a perfect success record. She is a big-game hunter and has extraordinary tracking skills, as well as superhuman strength and a habit of mounting the heads of every animal she has caught

Kabir Singh- A Doctor's Review

So I found time to watch the latest bollywood release- Kabir Singh with Shahid Kapoor and a few beautiful women I’m not bothered to learn the names of. After a long time, medical profession and live of doctors was the baseline for a very mainstream movie, the last one was Munna Bhai MBBS, and it was a wonderfully entertaining with great social message. So I had a lot of expectations. It was a remake of the south Indian movie Arjun Reddy and I’m not familiar with it at all. And lets just say, in spite of a watchable story line, it let me down in so many parameters, so many dimensions, it won’t be easy writing this. So first lets start with the good. Almost everyone of the cast member are great actors and it showed (other than the various beautiful romantic entanglements of Dr Kabir Singh, MS Orthopedics, thats why I’m not bothered to learn their names). Shahid Kapoor does an incredible job of portraying an aggressive, testosterone fuelled doctor with severe anger issues and blat

Goodbye College!!!

So exactly 4 and a half years back I started the journey of my Graduation, 2000 kms away from home. With my admission to a Medical School, I was never more excited in my life. Those were the innocent days when I still believed in the power of men and the strength of oneself to conquer the world. I still do but with better understanding of the phrase "One's own Enemy." The abundantly fabled College life was not totally what I expected it to be. A myriad of failures, wins, heartbreaks and sleepless nights was what it was. When I started I remember being anxious about the fact that the course was almost 6 years long, but someone told me that I wont even realize how fast this time would pass. And here I am, on a lonely night, listening to Adele and writing an article about it. On February 10th, 2018 we had our final exams results declared. I was on a train when I was forwarded the results and It was a moment to remember. Happiness, anxiety, surprise, shock- There was lo
