Happy Super Freaky Friday Theme Songs!

Happy Friday My People! I don't know about you but I'm already in 3 Day Holiday Weekend Mode like whoa. It's hard to believe we've reached the end of Summer because I'm not ready to let it go yet. Anyway, we've got loads of stuff to get to today so let's make a dog burying a bone and dig in...

First up, the 2 CHAINZ Song of the Day! This is another track off the upcoming new album B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time featuring Rick Ross and Future called My Cocaina...

Second is today's installment of Twerkathon OH-13. Seems like EVERYBODY has been having a giant laugh at poor Miley's expense along with us all week. In case you missed it, check out Happy Monday Theme Songs: Super Fresh 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon OH-13 - Twerking Trainwreck, and Wiz Khalifa!  to see Miley's performance and whatnot. 

Anyway, this photo is courtesy of my Facebook friend Shaun and his status update this morning about a photo from an article in the New York Post. All I can say is WooOooOoooOoooW! GOOD LORD! I sincerely hope nobody takes this seriously because that is definitely NOT how to twerk like a pro.



New York Post

If you've been following along with our twerking tutorials at home or you are already a Twerking Veteran then you know just how wrong that is. The only step that's correct in there is Step 1 about the wide stance with your feet angled out... and half of Step 2 because, like I said the other day... You need to bend yo knees bitch! Bend yo knees and pop yo booty! 

And BTW, clearly this Gregory E. Miller dude is misinformed because popping your booty is not "old-fashioned". It is the foundation of booty bounce basics. If you can't do the plain booty pop then you'll never get the fancy, advanced shit down because all they are are variations of the original basic booty pop.

Today though, we're going to take a slightly different approach on the tutorials and get into some serious cultural dancing. Last week I mentioned in my post Happy HumP Day Theme Songs: 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon OH-13, and More Fresh DnB that Nicki Minaj was rated by Fuse as the #1 celebrity twerker (NOT Miley Cyrus). If you're trying to learn some of Miss Minaj's dance moves then you have to understand the foundation for them.

Here is her video for Beez in the Trap featuring 2 CHAINZ. Pay especially close attention to her dancing during 2 CHAINZ part...

  

OK Class, today we are going to learn 2 of the moves she does: The Shimmy and The Vertical Figure 8. Believe it or not, those are belly dancing moves. Middle Eastern and African cultures have some overlap, particularly with styles of dance. They carried over into Dancehall Reggae as well because part of the "Wind-Up" are Figure 8's and isolations. Bet up until this moment you just thought "twerking" was nothing but some random shaking that required very little technique and had no foundation in legitimate dance huh? *Mind blown* 

As some of you know I'm a Euro-Arab mutt so belly dancing is a part of my Lebanese culture. I actually started learning how to do it last year as a fun workout. The series I learned from is also on YouTube by Belly Dance Boulevard. The username is BellyDanceB. Start with Lesson #1 because you definitely need a foundation. It is the basic movement from which all others follow and will teach you how to isolate your hips and booty from the rest of your body. ***THIS IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD TWERKER!!!

Hopefully you'll continue to Lesson #2 before continuing to Lesson #3 - The Shimmy. This folks, is where Miley went wrong. Unless you have a booty like the chicks in the rap videos, you can't afford to lock your knees because you can't sustain the amount of torque you need to wiggle your butt in a stance like that and make it look the way it's supposed to look. If you don't have a big booty or you just want to get more torque on your wiggles and wobbles, the best way to do that is "The Shimmy". I like this lady's approach about "waiting for the bus".  

Continue to Lesson #4 to learn Horizontal Figure 8's. Then Lesson #5 is Vertical Figure 8's...

It feels funny at first because you are going to move parts of your body you didn't even know you could move... But keep at it and you'll get it.

Now here are your songs to practice in front of that mirror gurrrrrllllll!! First one up is by OHBOYPRINCE....

I actually found it thanks to this video of a white girl twerking who puts Miley to shame...

And ya know we had to get some K-Stylis in...

And also NEW stuff... This is the latest single from Nelly featuring Nicki Minaj and Pharell and it is HOT... 

And because you should practice your wind-up... This is Freaks by French Montana also featuring Nicki Minaj...

And even more brand spankin NEW stuff... Found out the other day that the new Drake album Nothing Was The Same is set to be released on September 24th, 2013. Obviously I'm a HUGE fan of Young Money so I <3 me some Drake and I'm crazy excited about this album because I think the whole thing is going to be disgustingly sick and awesome.

Here are few tracks off of it...

This is my personal fave.. It's The Motion featuring Sampha

Next was the first single off the album that was released back in January when Drake announced he was working on this album... It's called Started From the Bottom and you've probably heard it a gazillion times...



Finally this song is called All Me and features Big Sean and 2 CHAINZ!

Hope this all got you in the mood to go buck for the next few days.... BOOM!

Happy HumP Day Theme Songs: 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon OH-13, and More Fresh DnB

Happy HumP Day My People! We have managed to survive half the week so YaY for us! Here are your theme songs for the day...

First up is the 2CHAINZ Song of the Day... This song is called G.O.O.D. Morning and I just happened to stumble across it this morning. For those of you who don't understand my massive LOVE for 2 CHAINZ, songs like this are why. It makes you pull your hair and mush your face and go OH MAH GOD this is SOOOOOOOO G.O.O.D.!!!!

Next up is today's installment of Twerkation OH-13...

Just in case yesterday's instructional video wasn't enough for you, I found this one for those of you who are severely twerked challenged. Be forewarned though that this C-Jeezy dude is a bit of a hot mess and his instructional methods are slightly avant-garde. I'm pretty sure the guy in this is the same one crying to "Leave Brittney alone!" right after Ms. Spears' Blackout album was released and her trainwreck performance at the MTV VMA's of Gimme More.

Anyway, this is considered "advanced twerking" so you can learn the professional ish. Just don't forget to eat some ramen noodles and pretzel dips to get your booty right, put on a pair of pajama pants.. and above all DO NOT FORGET YO DRANK!

 

I do agree on finding a twerking song with instructions so here is the one C-Jeezy used in the video. Put this one while you practice in front of that mirror guuuurrrrrrlll! It's called Twerk by a chick named Lady and it's actually a pretty hot song.

And for those of you who want to get into crazy advanced twerking, I suggest watching Nicki Minaj. She was rated by Fuse as the #1 celebrity twerker. This song by Nicki Minaj and Ciara is for the ladies...

Now as promised, let's get into some fresh DnB that I found just for you...

This one is so brand spankin' new it's technically not even out yet apparently and you can only preorder it. It's Koncept's - Breathe In and it got posted to the Viper Recordings Sound Cloud Profile 6 days ago and YouTube today. I <3 it which is saying a lot.

Also, I found this Maduk Remix of Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis that is pretty decent. It definitely makes that song relevant again... which is good if you like the original and bad if you hated it. I personally started out liking it and then began hating it as it got overplayed.

Finally, this track is kinda liquidy but definitely catchy. I'll probably have it stuck in my head now for the rest of the day. It's Control by Matrix & Futurebound featuring Max Marshall...

BOOM!

Happy Tuesday Theme Songs: 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon, and Dope DnB!

Hope y'all are enjoying this lovely day. Whether you're super busy or super bored, here are some songs to get you through the rest of your day...

First up, it's the 2 CHAINZ song of the day. This one is off his mixtape from 2011, T.R.U. Religion and it's called Undastatement... You'll need a towel to wipe your leg... Pronto!

Also, we are keeping Twerkathon OH-13 going as promised yesterday in Happy Monday Theme Songs For Your House Party Hangover. Why? Because it just needs to happen.

But whahappins if you don't know how to twerk? It's OK, I got you. I found this awesome instructional video for those of you out there who are twerk-challenged...

Now that we've got our twerking down.. back to the music... Today is more Ying Yang Twins. Raise your hand if you know this one...

And this one I'm mad into by Busta Rhymes and Nicki Minaj...

I'm also all about some crucial Drum and Bass today...

Lately I've been getting mad into Noisia. This track is pretty brand spankin' new. It's I Am Legion which is Noisia and a hip hop group called Foreign Beggars and it's called Dust Descends.

 

Also found this one that came out a few weeks ago called Hyenas and it's a collaboration between Noisia, Calyx, and Tee Bee...

But what got me all on Noisia lately is actually a much older track. It's entirely possible I like the track purely because I like the dude who says "Diplodocus" several times throughout it. For those who don't know, a Diplodocus is a dinosaur that had a very long neck and looked quite similar to the Apatosaurus.

Here is the original:

And here is the Upbeats Remix which I also like:

Finally, as you learned from my post 8 Whole Weeks of Being Smoke Free, My Theme Song, and Super Slik Stop Smoking Campaign, I have a huge thing for The Prodigy because they are AWESOME... It would appear Noisia agrees with me. This remix is dope!

BOOM!

Happy Monday Theme Songs From 2CHAINZ!

Sorry I've been MIA folks... Been dealing with a rack of stuff including my car which just cost me a small fortune to get stuff fixed on. My phone also broke and I had to wait for my replacement to come in which meant I was pretty much disconnected for most of last week. Also, I was doing some dating and finally broke the failure to launch first date curse.

Anyway, I'm feelin some 2 CHAINZ in a major way today so that's what we're doing for the theme songs...

First up, the song that provoked this...

Also, I had this song stuck in my head all weekend...

This one is a super fave...

I'mma start a riot...

And this one with Nicki Minaj is the super jam of the century...

And finally, can't forget about this one....

BOOM! Happy Monday!
