8hands Featured Video: "Sensual Seduction" by Snoop Dogg

We 8hands people are very sophisticated, that's for sure. Still, we love Snoop Dogg's pimpish ways – we were into him since '92. I mean, how can you not like the d-o-double-g?

 

Ok, let me get to the point - the godfather of rap is back. Not that he had ever left, but his new single, "Sensual Seduction", is already a classic and it doesn't even matter if you heard it or not.

 

 

This time Snoop Dogg is not the only one running the show. The song, which is some freakish and totally amazing ode to the early eighties Prince era, was produced by Shawty Redd who provided the robot-voice effect and the cheesy-as-hell tune, and the video was directed by Melina, who made sure to put all of the clichés that were common in music videos 25 years ago in one place.

 

Snoop, as always, dropped it like it's hot and entered the soft ladies-man position without a single hiccup. P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

 

 

8hands Featured Warning: Michael Jackson Is (trying to get) Back!

I was never a Michael Jackson fan. That's not to say my moon walk isn't ill – I can break it down with no shame to it, but still, I never digged his music. To be accurate, I despise 90 percents of his songs.

 

 

But like everyone else that’s addicted to trash, I followed his trials. All of them. I was angry at him for a minute and felt sorry for him for a moment. As we all know, while he was still in the headlines he did some pretty messed up things – it was intriguing yet disturbing. We followed it for a while, and then it kind of faded out. I didn't think he'll be back to the studio to record new material and I was relived.

 

I was wrong. A new unfinished album is floating around the illegal parts of the net – it could be a bootleg or a prank, but as I understood, it's the real deal. So, being the curious little creature that I am, I looked for it and got it, just to know what's this crazy person is plotting.

 

 

I only managed to listen to snippets and it's quite shocking – Jackson is into hip-hop these days, sort of. The first track features non others than the Fugees, but don't get your hopes up, it's really weak. The others seem to have Michael singing like he used to back then only that this time he bought himself some up-to-date beats that sound like a cheap Timbaland rip off.

 

Basically it made me sick to my bone and all I wanted to do is send out this warning – sleep with one eye open because Jackson is out there. You know what? I'll let Chris Rock do the talking, he is much better in dissing Michael than me.

 

 

8hands Featured Story: Blur's "Reunion"

I've always loved Blur. To be exact, I've always had a thing for Damon Albarn. I think he's so cute, that I immediately liked The Good, the Bad & the Queen. Hell, I even like the Gorillaz. I love Damon Albarn so much that sometimes I think Damon is Blur and Blur is Damon. I know, tons of you out there will wish for my death after stating so, but it's simply how I feel.

 

I guess my true love for Damon was the reason I got irritated when I read the headlines all over the web. Sayings like "Blur's comeback!", "Blur will reunite next month!" and others with the same manner made me pissed of the inaccuracy bloggers tend to use in order to attract readers. How could blur reunite if they never broke up? Albarn never left the band! Hey, has anybody said yet that blogging is the new journalism?

 

Damon Albarn

Damon Albarn. You gotta love him.

 

But maybe the bloggers meant no harm; maybe these headlines are referring to the return of Graham Coxon, blur's known and talented guitarist. Coxon left the band in 2002 and didn't take part in Think Tank, blur's most notoriously known album. When Think Tank came out, back in 2003, music critics trashed it and didn't settle for talking down on Albarn- they also kept emphasizing just how Coxon's absence is noticeable and conspicuous. I remember I felt bad for Damon, and that I actually liked Think Tank. Out of time is still one of my blur's favorite songs.

 

 

Anyhow, it seems Graham Coxon, the guy who once declared that "a lot of his songs are better than blur" is back, so everybody's talking about a reunion. You know what? I don't really care. Reunion or not, I'm just happy to know that a new blur is coming up pretty soon.
