I just came across an article about the UK's first black hair commercial airing this year for the Christmas season? I'm not sure if it's true or not but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. The UK has, of course, always been behind in stuff like that. Either way, I would love to support the company if they sell products here in the US.

Here's the commercial

By: Jay Marcase

“Smokin Out the Window” is an eventful tale of two musicians falling into heartbreak after simpin’ on the town jump off. Will this song live up to the epicness of “Leave the Door Open”? Who knows?

the Instrumentation
When viewing it through the lens of today’s watered-down RnB, the instrumentation is simply in a league of its own. But when you view it through the lens of 1970’s RnB, it’s routine and derivative…but that’s not such a bad thing in 2021.

During the Verse, the 16th notes on the hi-hat and silky-smooth driving bassline combine to create a groovy backdrop that gets your head nodding instantaneously. The Verse is kept grounded by some effects-laden guitar work deep in the mix and accented by staccato notes from what appears to be keys and a triangle.

The Chorus takes things a step forward with the defacto string backing arrangements common-place in 70’s RnB. Anderson really sets things apart in the Chorus with some really dope drum fills that give the song a little bit of its own character.

the Vocals
This duo has some of those coolest vocals flows in RnB, they effortlessly ride the backing track with swag and grace like very few can. They're also great at playing off one another, for instance, in the first verse Anderson .Paak is doing adlibs for Bruno Mars and on the second verse they switch. We also see this chemistry with how they swap the singer of the bridge between verses. Is Silk Sonic the RnB version of Jadakiss and Styles P? The Chorus also has some extremely warm and gorgeous harmonies that will bring you to tears if you’re listening to this after getting dumped. Another great feature of the verses is that they follow a long-standing tradition of rhyming the end of every bar from Rap.

The lyrics shine because they take the listener down a journey of grief. We begin with the reminiscing, then move to the feelings of anguish, and arrive at feelings of confusion which is refreshing in this era. How many of us can relate to Bruno Mars as he sings, “Must have spent 35, $45,000 up in Tiffany’s, got her bad ass kids runnin round my whole crib like its Chuck E Cheese”? Granted, we may have to adjust the number of zeros or the shopping locale but in the end, most of us have extended ourselves for someone who would end up betraying us.

We see the anguish during the Bridge with Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars taking turns belting out: “This B*tch got me payin her rent, payin for trips, diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists?” While it’s a catchy lyric, the subtext is “yo, the nerve of her to let me do all s**t knowing she was sleeping with LeSean and Meech?” Now I know that those who listen to 70’s RnB will take issue with the curse word, and it too caught me off guard but it makes sense, these dudes spent $40k at Tiffany’s on community property, give them a break.

Next emotion is confusion and how it rears its head in the Chorus “Smokin out the window singing how could she do this to me?” This is the point where we try to understand the other person’s logic, how could they stab us in the back knowing that we were so true to them? Throughout the song we’ve seen these two explore multiple emotions which gives the lyrics substance and importance to the overall composition.

the Conclusion
Smokin Out of The Window is the quintessential summer cruising jam which is disappointing as Drop Top weather is gone for 3 weeks here in Southern California. I’m giving this track 5 out of 6 Zeros as it hits on every beat but is for all intents and purposes 1970’s cover music.

P.S. Chris Brown tried to tell you all on Loyal, I guess y'all didn’t listen.

@Jay I found some trash in an online video. Do you want this?

VGM.14 out now

As in, you were in love, but come to find out she or he isn't in love back? I dated this one girl for a few months and I fell for her big time. Like I threw the love word around, and even talked with friends about marrying her one time. But, she later came to me and just called it off, said she wasn't feeling the relationship anymore and figured it was time to call it quits on the relationship. I was hurt, because she was one of the first girls I dated, and I think it was more infatuation than love, but it still hurt like hell when she broke it off with me. Because back then, I thought it was love. Thankfully, it was a tame situation, but it still sucked.

Has this ever happened to you?

Do you guys plan to get the new Call of Duty: Vanguard? Usually I remember when the new COD games release, but it seems I completely forgot this years release, as I guess it came out today. Honestly, I'm kinda played out on the series. Got WWII, Modern Warfare and I think I got Cold War as well, but just haven't been as invested as I used to.

I've been playing the series off and on since the PS2 era, but it wasn't until COD4 when I started to game online, and that was where my fandom took off. I didn't get every game, but I'd say I have most in my collection at this point.

I still love the older games, but I can't get invested in any of the new games these days. With that being said, are you getting Vanguard? Or did you?

We all knew he wasn't going to be utilized anymore in Cleveland, so maybe it was the right time to let him go. The Browns lose some money in the process, but maybe it was the right move to take.

Now, where do you think OBJ will land? Maybe with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers? I know the Raiders and Saints had their eye on him, but what others teams could you see him heading for? I know he has skills left in the tank, so I'm glad he got away from the Browns.

This is so smooth and much better than Skate. I'm a bit conflicted though because it's musically sound but it's kind of goofy.

Whose buying this shit. The flows are basic. There is no clever wordplay.
Stupid accent. Spanish is a horrible language.

To the hip hop heads does this shit bang?

Athens-Clarke police investigating rape allegation against Georgia football linebacker​

Athens-Clarke County police are investigating an allegation of rape against Georgia outside linebacker Adam Anderson, according to a police incident report obtained Thursday by the Athens Banner-Herald.

No arrest has been made, according to ACC police Lt. Shaun Barnett, who said he did not know if charges will be filed.

“It’s still open and still under investigation,” he said. “It’s depending on how the investigation plays out that will determine that.”

A 21-year-old female told police she went to an Athens residence between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. on Friday Oct. 29 after having drinks and awoke with Anderson penetrating her while she was lying in bed.

She told police that it was nonconsensual and she was able to leave, according to the report.

Georgia football: Kirby Smart suspends linebacker amid rape allegation​

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart suspended linebacker Adam Anderson amid a rape allegation against the NFL Draft prospect.

Anderson is reportedly considered a future first-round NFL Draft pick.

All was well in Athens until this week, with the Georgia Bulldogs ranked No. 1 in the first College Football Playoff rankings. Yet, Anderson’s ongoing investigation and suspension is undoubtedly a hit to the best defense in the country.

With Anderson under investigation, Smart has elected to keep him away from the team for the time being.

Have you ever dated someone just to get back at an ex? Or did your ex date someone to get back at you? Maybe a friend, or their friend, or a family member of theirs? I haven't done anything like this myself, and I doubt I ever would. I think it'd be wrong for the person you're using, considering they could fall for you in the process.

I have been in my share of bad relationships, some that resulted in my exes trying to get back at me, but thankfully it wasn't too bad. I did end up in breakups I didn't like, and they still put it in my face, but I usually did my best to just move on and leave the past behind. But sometimes you know when someone is trying to throw it in your face. I saw my ex a few times after we broke up, and everytime I would see her, she would be mackin on some dude and looking right at me. I just walk away. Hopefully it was worth it to her, because I imagine the dude she was doing it to, was probably falling for her.
