Guilty Music Monday #52

We have a jam-packed GMM this week. It’s the date that celebrates one year’s worth of GMM! So let’s get into it.
Willie is really opposed to this one. Asher Roth’s “I Love College” is slowly creeping its way up charts and into people’s hearts. I found myself despising this song at first listen. That was about three months ago. Since it’s been getting radio play, it’s just been getting stuck in my head. And I can’t get it out. And it’s genius. The lyrics are the tackiest and most clever things in the word simultaneously. I honestly never thought I’d love a song that rhymes “pong” with “Iverson” and “Olajuwon.” Props to Mr. Asher.
Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” has a similar charm. This song should not be nearly as good as it is. The product is vastly greater than the sum of the parts. This jam is a staple of everyone’s new favorite radio station, Latino 96.3 (RIP 103.1).
We also got sent a remix this week of Akon’s “So Damn Beautiful.” The remix is by VIKING, who also did a pretty good edit of Kid Cudi’s “Dat New New.” The remix is actually pretty fucking good, so featuring it on GMM may seem like a bit of an insult, but it’s not. The sheer guilt the original material is so guilt inducing that this is the only place on the blog it’s anywhere near suitable.
Akon - So Damn Beautiful (VIKING Remix)
Last, and certainly not least, is guilty goliath LMFAO. These guys are a fucking joke. And I’m not sure if they know that. “I’m In Miami, Bitch” is the tackiest and most typically “2009″ of anything out there right now. It’s the sum of everything that’s happened to hip hop in the past few years. And it’s awful.

i don’t think LMFAO take themselves too seriously. they’re fun and seem to be doing really well with their latest. i play it a lot and it goes over well.

I have to disagree with your hate filled whining about LMFAO. Check them out on YouTube, I doubt they take themselves that seriously. Secondly, you call them typically 2009 when I’m in Miami Bitch was out early/middle of 2008. And thirdly, I don’t think they call themselves Hip-hop, I think you just did. Clown.
