Worst Songs of 2011

Everyone loves a good bone-crushing tackle. Helmet to helmet and all that. Nobody should love these songs.
(I was gonna do a list of the hardest tackles of 2011, but I couldn't find any individual videos..)

Scroll down to older posts for some GOOD music.

"Surrounded by Silence"- Design the Skyline.  We all would rather be surrounded by silence..



"Just the Way You Are (Drunk at the Bar)"- Brian McFadden. The date rape song.



"Friday" - Rebecca Black. That song will never get played on this blog.

"Jam (Turn It Up)"- Kim Kardashian. No one will ever hear this song an be like "oh they playin my jam!"




Insane Clown Posse - Leck Mich Im Arsch.  The comments on the track are great.

New Mixtape: Lupe Fiasco, "Jesus"

 Following a disappointing reception to the album "Lasers," Lupe returns with an extremely enjoyable mixtape, featuring 12 tracks of solid rapping on top of the Chi-town rapper's unique production style. Released Thanksgiving, 2011, this outspoken politically-charged package offers plenty for longtime fans to be excited about.

Standout tracks include: "Double Burger with Cheese," "Life, Death in San Francisco," and
"Super Cold." On "Life, Death," Lupe impressively maneuvers an incredibly versatile rap over John Coltrane's "Acknowledgement" from the standard album A Love Supreme.

Overall, 7.5 out of 10

Spotlight: Denzil Porter

This 23 year old out of the Bronx is fresh. Just listen:
The mixtape is Home Made Music, dropped on Nov. 22nd.
