“With eyes like Rihanna/ Face like Paula/ Patton/ Central as the Latins/ Girl what’s happening?”
Presenting the joint we told ya about that samples some Morocco sounds. Too bad it doesn’t sound as it good as the original idea did. Ha! Keep up. Yeah this joint from the West, West is a mess, mess. I hope this ain’t the single. Try again guys. Mark Jackson said, “You’re better than that!”

Off his upcoming 90s Mixtape, Cory scores a triple double over O’Shea’s oldy but goody, “Good Day”.
“Reminiscing about my niggas gets me misty eyed, my classmate turned fiend from the shit she tried.”
Did we go to the same school? *shrugs shoulders*
“Good Day”

Last Week: Tuesday’s With Cory: Hustler’s Anthem
In case you haven’t heard, Eminem is back! And I for one, am diggin’ both the song and the video for, “We Made You.” The single is ten times better than that awful, “Just Lose It” (albeit, a bit funny). Plus, “We Made You’s” chorus is actually more catchy than it is gimmicky. After the jump, peep the the five best things about Shady’s new vid. “We Made You”, why would we play you?!
Where else would a former Corrections Officer Drug-Dealing Kingpin shoot a video? Ha!

This was an interesting read, especially since it shows how music and pop culture can blend in unexpected ways. T-Pain’s use of Auto-Tune really changed the sound of modern music, and it’s cool to see how artists and even public figures get referenced in creative ways like this. It highlights how certain trends spread and influence different parts of culture over time. It also made me think about how creativity shows up in everyday things beyond music. Even in something like car ownership, small personal touches can reflect style and personality. For example, using honda acty seat covers is a simple way to add comfort while also protecting the interior, which is a practical upgrade that still ties into personal taste and care. Overall, it’s interesting to see how different topics connect, whether it’s music, culture, or even cars.
