Production

The collection included a cover of Johnny O'Keefe's "Wild One" (here titled "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" and three original songs co-written with ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. The remaining tracks were co-written by Bowie, who also produced the album with David Richards but, unlike his previous work with Pop, The Idiot and Lust for Life (both 1977), did not sing or play any instruments. Bowie biographer David Buckley has reported that Pop "virtually disowned" the record, calling it "a Bowie album in all but name".[3] It has never been specified what tracks on the album, if any, originated during the sessions of Bowie's 1984 album Tonight (that album's co-producer, Hugh Padgham, has recalled that Bowie and Pop collaborated on some songs that Bowie ultimately rejected for inclusion on Tonight).[citation needed]
Release and reception

Described by Allmusic as "the most calculatedly commercial album of Iggy's career",[4] Blah-Blah-Blah was certified gold in Canada (more than 50,000 copies sold) and reached top ten status in many European countries. In the U.S. it peaked at #75 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.[5] Rolling Stone's contemporary review complained of a "nagging homogeneity to side one" but continued that "even at

    When The Fabulous Freebirds first came to the ring with rock and roll blasting, it was revolutionary.

    I was in the first semester of my senior year in high school. It was 1986 and “Walk This Way” was on the airways. I found myself really enjoying this “Rap” song by this group Run-D.M.C.. I would later find out that it was an Aerosmith song re-made. At the time I didn’t and couldn’t believe it because I had never heard of Aerosmith before or any of their songs. I actually had heard of “Sweet Emotions”, but I, at that time, had never known who sang that song. I had already been listening to rap music for a few years. I only knew of the groups my friends knew and later would fing out that Run-D.M.C. had mad two albums before the Raising Hell album which “Walk this Way” was on. Over the next couple years I learned more about this group from hearing previous albums like King of Rock which I ended up buying later on down the road. I also saw the movie Krush Groove which featured many rap artists like Kurtis Blow, L L Cool J, and the Fat Boys. This movie came out a few years earlier but I was none the wiser back then.…

    Coinage of the term "bling", which came into use in the late 1990s, is often attributed to rap artists B.G. and Cash Money Millionaires. It was used in a song title by Cash Money Records rapper B.G., and in 1998 by fellow Cash Money artist Lil Wayne on the track "Millionaire Dream" ("I got ten around my neck, and baguettes on my wrist, Bling!"), which appeared on the Big Tymers album How Ya Luv That. "Bling Bling", a track from the 1999 B.G. album Chopper City in the Ghetto, further popularized the term.…

    Record labels began dictating to the artist what was to be considered Hip-Hop. Artists like Soulja Boy Tell’em, Drake, and Lil’ Wayne are at the forefront of the Hip-Hop of today. The majority of the content in their music reflects the voice of the younger Hip-Hop generation. Songs like Lollipop, Get Money, and No Hands only talk about money and sex. The overall criticism has been the lack of diversity in the music. Crank that Soulja Boy was a big hit for Soulja Boy Tell’em but to Hip-Hop purists, the song lacked creativity and lyrical content. Another difference between the eras would be in radio play. Laffy Taffy, by D4L, was another song that was a big hit commercially that several people use as an example for the lack of creative skill and musical integrity. Twenty years ago, you would turn on the radio and hear different records with a variation of styles and song content. Today, if you on the radio, you will hear what many would consider the same type of rap record being made by different artists. The reason behind the lack of creativity is believed to be because artists and record labels are more concerned about record sales and…
