Bridget Kelly

The first time I seen Bridget Kelly, it was during the rehearsal of the song "New York" for the televised concert for Jay Z's the Blueprint tour on Fuse. I expected to see and hear a lot from this artist, but after a few interviews she was no where to be found. Between Alicia Keys and Beekay, I think Beekay was the better match for this song.

After a little digging it seems we may get a chance to hear more from Beekay. She recently released an acoustic version of her song "Thinking About Forever".

Wale ft Jeremih and Rick Ross- That Way

Originality 3.5/5
This song is a sample of Curtis Mayfields "Give me Your Love"

Creativity 4/5
This sample is flipped rather nicely. I hardly recognized Jeremih singing the hook.

Transition (from verse to hook) 3.5
The break coincide from the verse to the hook sounds a little choppy.

Lyrics 3/5
The artists stay on subject but nothing catchy in particular.

Beat and Vocal Arrangement 4/5
This track is not to much different than the original with the exception of the artists.

Total 18/25 = 72% Grade B-

Jay Z and Kanye West - Otis

Originality 3/5
This is because this song is a full sample. Samples can only receive a max rating of 3.5

Creativity 3/5
As a sample this not in the typical, repetitive style that producers use. Drops in the snare
with the kick and vocal sample is catchy.

Transition 3/5
The drop outs with the drums is the only change in this song.
But, this beat has no transition at all.

Lyrics 4/5
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Both artist boasted their ego's on this track.

Big Krit ft Bun B and Ludacris

Originality 4/5
Even though the hook is of a vocal sample the beat is entirely original?
I'll check the credits to confirm this

DJ Khaled Ft. Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.

Originality 3.5/5 No samples so this gets a 3 or above, although the base line is lazy it blends with the drums.

Creativity 3/5 The format of the music has a steady swing which keeps you drawn to the song overall.

Transition 2/5 The beat is very repetitive and doesn't change as the hook comes. The tune Drake carries through the hook does enough to keep you listening.

Lyrics 3/5 The lyrics seem and sound like filler verses and sound very routine.

Arrangement 3/5 The beat is arranged well. The drums, base line and music mix well overall.

Does Kanye West have someting against Naptown?

As the the "Watch The Throne" tour was expanded it was discovered that Jay and Ye wouldn't be stopping in Indianapolis. The confusing thing that ppl in Indianapolis speculate is why Kanye purposely avoids Indianapolis.
It can't be a revenue issue or about fans, because Jay clearly sold out Conseco. So Kanye, where's the love?
