“I Wanna Love You” by Akon
2007-10-18 07:00:18
The unexpectedly successful and censored &ldquo ;I Wanna Love You&rdquo ; by Akon had a violent start. Originally Rapper Plies was the creator of this song. Plies was arrested in the summer for illegal gun possession, while two of his people were charged with attempted murder. Plies was performing a concert when he was informed that his show would be cut 15 minutes short in order to give time to Lil’ Boosie to perform right after. In response, Plies’ entourage started to fire at the crowd resulting in the injury of 5 people with non-life threatening wounds. Shortly after, Plies was released after paying $10,000 bail. Plies could have continued to promote but it would give the single bad publicity. Since the version with Snoop already circulated unofficially in the mixtape scene, it was an obvious choice to replace the single and album edit since Snoop Dogg was a name already well received as opposed to that of an up-and-coming and controversial artist. The song centers around

Ludacris rode the early-2000s Dirty South explosion to widespread popularity, as his songs enjoyed an enormous embrace, mainly by urban media outlets but also MTV and pop radio. The Atlanta-based rapper (born Christopher Bridges) went from local sensation to household name after Def Jam signed him to its Def Jam South subsidiary in 2000. Def Jam gave Ludacris remarkable marketing push. Ludacris thus quickly became one of the rap industry’s most in-demand rappers. Ludacris DJed at an Atlanta radio station before he became the Dirty South’s most popular rapper. He used the opportunity to hone his craft on the mic, learn about the industry, and make a name for himself throughout the Atlanta area. Eventually, he began aspiring toward a career as a rapper rather than as a radio jock. In 1998, Ludacris began taking his rap career seriously. He recorded an album, Incognegro (2000), Incognegro sold impressively in Atlanta, where Ludacris was well known for his radio work. Soon, Lu

&ldquo ;Stairway to Heaven &rdquo ; is clearly the best known and most popular Zeppelin .htm">Led Zeppelin song. It is probably the deepest song Led Zeppelin wrote, as well as one of the most controversial songs in history as to its exact meaning. Although it is one of the most, if not the most, popular rock ballad song ever, it was never released as a single because of its length, which Led Zeppelin refused to shorten. In spite of this, the 40-year-old “Stairway to Heaven” is still the most requested and most played song on FM radio stations in the United States. The song’s instrumentals were written by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant “over a long period, the first part coming at Bron-Yr-Aur one night”. (Bron-Yr-Aur was Robert Plant’s family 18th century “holiday” cottage in Wales where band members often went there after grueling concert tours.) The opening guitar cadence took influence from a song called ‘Taurus’ by the band &lsq


The Addams Family

The Halloween season isn’t complete without mentioning the theme song from the zany and weird TV comedy show hit, The Addams Family . One note from the song and you knew exactly what was coming on TV next. The Addams Family was one of the two “creepy” families that premiered on television in 1964. The offbeat, macabre situation comedy was based on a series of bizarre, dark comedy drawings that cartoonist Charles Addams created for the “New Yorker” magazine in the 1940s. The cartoons featured a ghoulish family in a gothic mansion who lives were in opposition to the cheerful and upbeat values which were suggested by the mainstream media. Veteran humorist Nat Perrin did a wonderful job of creating the episodes that inevitably involved outsiders from the so-called “normal world” making contact with the strange family. The timeless characters included Gomez, the father, a cigar-smoking tycoon with an adolescent appetite for destruction, and his wife
