okay. the only way to begin this blog, really, is to write about one of my favourite musical artists Uffie. first of all i would like to say I DO NOT LIKE POP MUSIC. i do adore Lady GaGa like a sister, but it is purely because she is so individual, in both music and fashion, that she is freakin' amazing.
anyway, back to UFF. i'm not really up for all this 'i'm tha hottest in tha HOOOOD' and 'when i walk into the club everyone salutes', but when Uffie says such things in her songs, such as "bad ass bitch, i'm rated x" and "Me and my stupid flow, me and my myspace with only three tracks a year and they STILL talk about me? Damn" it almost seems as if she's mocking all these 'hard' people. maybe its just how i see it but there.
basically i have never heard of someone as musically interesting as Uffie. each track on her debut Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans sounds totally different to the next, but in a good way. personally, i have no idea why my beloved NME magazine gave it a 0 out of 10.
if i had to rate it...
1) pop the glock - 8/10
2) art of uff - 10/10
3) add suv -10/10
4) give it away - 7/10
5) MCs can kiss - 9/10
6) difficult - 6/10
7) sex dreams and denim jeans - 10/10
8) our song - 5/10
9) illusion of love - 6/10
10) neuneu - 10/10
11) brand new car - 8/10
12) hong kong garden - 7/10
13) ricky - 10/10
and its not like she isnt into good music either - her album features a cover of Siouxie And The Banshee's Hong Kong Garden and Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans is heavily inspired - and features a sample - by the Velvet Underground track 'Rock&Roll'.
heres my point: i'm not saying Uffie is really talented - "I cant even sing, y'know?"- but she sure makes one hell of a good album.
