R.I.P. Malcom Young

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 tribute to Malcom:

Kanye West in particular has used these metal-esque images in his clothing lines, borrowing from bands such as Iron Maiden in order to make his images on t-shirts and other clothing. Beyonce has been using the logo of the band Slayer on t-shirts but instead saying "Slayonce" on her tour shirts. Slayer guitarist Gary Holt accused Beyonce of appropriation for using the log and styling of the bands logo without permission. However, not all metal artists are upse...

SUPER SLIMEY - Future + Young Thug Collab Album

Image
Future and Young Thug have made themselves big name rappers in the hip hop/rap scene. They have both proven themselves and to others that they are here to stay, and don't plan on leaving any time soon. Both rappers have their own unique style of trap music, which originated in the south in Atlanta, Georgia. Future and Young Thug dropped a surprise album this weekend titled "SUPER SLIMEY" which features just the two artists with one feature, Offset from Migos. The idea behind the album is that the two rappers try to out rap each other on their own songs on the album and also rap together on songs. The album is honestly nothing special - it is a pretty stereotypical trap sounding album featuring the two artists. It has a very "Future Vibe" in the sense that it just sounds a lot like Future's songs and albums that he drops. The beats and production used are pretty standard trap sounding. An interesting thing about the album is the cover art, shown below. It...
