2017 has not been the best year, I think we can all agree on that. It seems like every day I wake up to some bad news, or something happens every week where I just shake my head and wonder wtf is going on in life. We lost another rock legend this year, Malcom Young of AC/DC. AC/DC is one of the greatest rock bands to ever grace this earth, with heavenly jams such as "Back in Black", "Highway to Hell", "Thunderstruck", "Hell's Bells".... the list goes on. Malcom, along with his brother Angus, both founded the band AC/DC in 1973 and the rest was history. Malcom Young had been struggling with a long battle with dementia which ultimately lead to his death. Unfortunately, too, his older brother George Young passed away a few weeks before Malcom. It is probably a very tough time for Angus right now. Malcom's legacy will live on as one of the best rhythm guitarists that ever lived in a legendary band thats music will never die. Below is a trib...

At the Country Music Awards this year, two iconic country stars, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, played a short song during their opener for the award show that poked fun at the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. The two stars never named Trump by name or stated that the song was written about him, but the lyrics insinuate that it is indeed about him. They poke fun at a lot of the controversies that he has had as president, such as tensions with North Korea and some of his tweets, such as the infamous "covfefe" tweet. The song was titled "Before he Tweets." I think its pretty funny how it seems like everywhere the president is the butt of some sort of joke, even at a country music award show where it would seems like one would think that most of the people that were attendance at that award show are supporters of him. Take a look at the video of the performance below:

Issa 'nother surprise album this year!! Offset from Migos and 21 Savage have joined forces with producer Metro Boomin for an unannounced album for the people. God Bless. The album was released on Halloween and definitely has a spooky kind of vibe to it, which I love. This album is a musical expression of Halloween horror films.  21 Savage and Metro Boomin have proved that they work well together to create a piece of music, an example being the album Savage Mode released in 2016. Now on Without Warning, rapper Offset is along for the ride to create a gritty, dark, and beautiful album. 21 Savage and Offset work well with each other here - even though that they sort of have different styles of rapping. 21 Savage is known to have a "numb sounding" almost inhuman voice and flow. Offset is adrenaline fueled and fun to listen to. They complement each other well on this project. Overall to me it is tough to determine who outshines the other - both do an excellent job on the a...
