Do u guys like new memes? Do you like doing memes and making selfie vids of urself doing memes and posting them on social media? We r always looking for new memes, so we were really excited when we found out a new hilarious meme had been released by German DJ “Baauer”. Baauer has been in Europe for the past 40 years, where he learend how to be a DJ. He took all of his skills from being a DJ and created a meme and then put music behind it. He called his meme the “Harlem Shake”, so named because he lists his favorite poet as Langston Hughes and his favorite desert is #ROLO milkshakes.
We were really glad when we saw that Bauurers new meme was going to have a finished song behind it. The shake videos are really popular, but they only included about 30 seconds of Brauns music. He must have realized the immediacy of his situation, because he finished the rest of the song and released it on Spotify. What happens to a meme deferred? Does it dry up? Like when u were planking too long back in 2011 and left ur grapes on the porch and they dried up & turned into raisins? Via Harlem Renaissance?

Baauer trained relentlessly. He learned how to read and write music, he learned how to speak the minced germanic dialects favored by the ruling class, and he immersed himself in the warped, so called ‘socialist’ policies of the political elite. By age 10 Baauer’s parents deemed him ready, a solitary splinter cell, a self-aware manchurian candidate. He traveled by train across the german land mass, dressed in the gilded garb of the elite, fully prepared to seduce their leaders, to disrobe them of their defenses, and rape the oppressive policies they clutched at their loins.

Ok so I am writing this post and have been informed that DJ Baauer is actually from West Philadelphia. So i’m embarrassed bc i’ve never had to update my posts before but here goes nothing:

| DJ Baauer |
Anyways back to my review. Bauuer’s song starts out slow, and then BAM it kicks u in the internet balls. The song starts out in a mundane surrounding. Usually like an office building or like a swimming pool. Then u see a person wearing a mask and maybe like a unitard and they r dancing to the song while all the other people around them continue to do whatever regular task ud expect them to do. Sometime in there, eventually, the beat drops, and then u realize: “Oh my god, everybody knew about the guy wearing the mask, and they all have funny costumes too.” And then everybody dances 4a few seconds.
Let us kno if u like memes. Pls leave a comment if u want to hear more memes from Baaurer. Pls leave a comment if u r making a halrm shake video selfie. Pls leave a comment if u think all memes should pay homage to great literary movements from culturally vibrant but economically depressed american population centers. 9th Ward shuffle meme? The Pruitt Igoe crawl?
Thnx for reading my review. seeu next week.

Do u guys like #puritans? Do u like the pilgrims and churning butter by hand? Do u like rampant STDs? Especially #syphilis? Then I’m sure u love the Lumineers. This band is famous for their post-puritan image, and antebellum music videos in which they showcase their personal brand: ‘Old things and kind of dirty clothes and other old shit’.
 |
| Former lead jug blower of the Lumineers, doing crossover branding/promotion for the ADA |
The Lumineers got their start way back in 2005 as the stunt doubles for Arcade Fire. Faced with debilitating shin splints from his famed second-set ‘stage stomping’, Arcade Fire lead singer Cody Tinkleton made the difficult decision to begin auditioning stand in dead-ringers to take some of the stomping off his hands. When future Lumineers lead singer Patches Scrappersberry came in for his audition, the two colonially-branded singers hit it off immediately.
 |
| The Lumineers first promotional shot |
We obtained an exclusive transcript of Patches and Cody’s first meeting. It is excerpted below:
 |
| They went on to talk about different types of cobbling, and their favorite/least favorite indian tribes |
The meeting between Patches + Cody has been compared to the rumored meeting of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in NYC way back in like the 90s. That’s how important it was. And Cody was so impressed with Patches that the pair entered into an agreement to put together an entirely new band based on the puritan-rock brand perfected by Arcade Fire.
Cody auditioned some females for the new band, because females are an essential ingredient for post-colonial pre-industrial pre-Edison farm rock. Cody also hired a wardrobe specialist to make sure that Patches and company had enough old-fukin clothes.
Then they waited until they could all afford to rent a covered wagon and buy enough oxen to traverse the oregon trail to Georgia and film the Lumineers first video. That process took six years, and so in 2012 we were finally treated to the first video from the hot new pre-polyester post-bubonic plague trio.
Now for the bread and butter. We know why you come to the Lounge, and we are going to give it to you. You have come to expect insightful and pertinent reviews of the music YOU care about. So allow me to begin.
The Lumineers first album, “Gone to kill some Injuns with my Bow” (2012), released on indy label Laughing at the Small Starving Irishmen, puts weight on the throttle and doesn’t take a break for fresh air until the listener is running stride-by-stride with Patches’s antique vocal presence.
Standout tracks include “Do u Know a Good Amish?” and “Has the Cow Starved Dead (on this Dreadful Winter’s Morn)”. Patches and female Patches harmonize on various tracks. The other guy plays some instruments, as well. On bonus track “I’ll make U my Yankee Doodle Bride” Patches’ smooth vocals bring to mind Barth Tromthegood (famed bard of the Santa Maria who perished of scurvy on the fateful journey to the new world) when he sings:

“O hath you your chastity? O hath you lain with the bearded theif? O I’ll pay your father a pence - and 12 shillings nay 12 gold! - if you Yankee Doodle marry me and together we grow old! (Hoorah Hoorah Hoorah!)”
I could go on and on about the other standout tracks. I especially loved “I Would 4Go Rumspringa 4U” and “My Pony has a Rotten Cyst”. But I’ll leave these discoveries to you, faithful readers.
Until next tuesday, please enjoy this live version of the Lumineers’ “Mary and her Bonnet full of Cloves”:

Do u love #politics? Do u love #hiphop and live a hip hop lifestyle? Me too. So I was obviously really amped (nofilter) when I saw this article and realized that the main man @MarcoRubio2016 is also way into hip hop. But then I read a little bit further and realized that the author of the article had a satirical tone toward Roob’s hiphopsavedmylife mindset. #SteaminMad (
My man Rubio (aka Uncle Elian aka the Banana Boat Bandit TM) is just projecting his love for the hip hop way of lyfe that speaks to so many of us. Just because the cynical main stream media has to poke holes in every thing our super star politicians say doesn’t mean we have to buy into it.
So I set out to do some research to prove blogger ‘Alan Pyke’ (more like ‘I’ma douche’) wrong. And guess what? A simple goog’ search proves that Rubio (aka Rufio aka Roofio aka Lozt Boy2016) is actually a bigger hip hop fan than we could have ever imagined. Just look at this event he’s hosting for my main homie DJ Khaled’s Bday:
I saw the poster and I immediately booked some tickets to Miami. No idea when the party is, so I went ahead and just booked a one way tik, headed down there in a few hours. Are you guys gonna be in the MIA for this bday party? If so, make sure to hit me up on twitter, foursquare checkin when u get to the airport, instagram hashtag #rubiokhaled16 and we will kick it at the Miami airport chili’s til the party.
In the meantime, don’t believe everything u read. The media loves nothing more than taking our politicians down a peg. Even when they are as #tru and #real as Rubio (aka Mar Face aka Cockaroach aka #hashtagAIRFORCEPUN).
As a bonus to get u stoked for the bday party, check out my man Khaled hyping some McDonald’s McCafe white hot foamy brews:
Headed to the airport xoxo #SM

Do u guys like titty rap? Titty rap is blowin up the charts these days, and we are str8 crazy8s about it. As part of our new weekly series of single critiques, we wanted to bring you a few paragraphs on Juicy J’s new titty rap anthem, “Show Out,” the follow-up to his hugely successful titty rap jam “Bandz (A make her dance)”. In case you have been living under a rock, or living in some hick town that doesn’t have 4G, allow us to take a few minutes to explain what titty rap is all about. Titty rap differs from regular rap in that it prominently features verses about titties, strippers, poppin various things (ie bandz, p***y, pillz, bottles, etc), and other trill ballin shit. Popular modern purveyors of titty rap are Juicy J, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Rick Ross, et al. The history of titty rap remains open for interpretation. Much has been made regarding the influence of 2 Live Crew upon modern titty rap. But my particular line of thinking is that 2 Live Crew’s work, while celebrating the female form in a style similar to modern titty rap, is actually itself derivative of titty rap’s true pioneers, the titty funk of George Clinton and the titty rap baby steps made regionally famous by Afrika Bambaataa.

| Bandz A make her dance |
But the history of the genre is really beside the point. It’s fkn 2k13 and titty rap is here to stay. So crank up ur drebeats and A make her dance.
Confession: I still haven’t actually listened to “Show Out.” I did ‘star’ it on spotify, and I played it this morning while I took a shower so I heard some parts of it. And who tf needs to actually listen to music to write a dope review of it anyways? This isn’t 2010 get real. So here is my review based on what I heard in the shower.
“Show Out” begins like any other great titty rap song: with various posturings levied over a simple trap beat. Producer MikeWillMadeIt most likely produced the beat using whatever is the equivalent of fruity loops for windows 95. Then we got some raps about drinkin lean etc. Oh yeah there is like a Young Jeezy chorus I think. I know for a fact there is some really fast hi hats. Lol like prolly had to make the midi dots really small and put them really close together to get that sound. The song takes off when Big Sean begins to rap. See, if ur gonna have a titty rap song, you ALWAYS want it to feature Big Sean. The reason for this is simple: Big Sean created what most analysts believe is the gold standard for titty rap singles in last year’s “Dance @$$”. BS instantly had limitless titty rap cred. He was hotter than Matt Damon in 1998. It was a lot like when Led Zeppelin released Zoso and ppl were like “oh shit it’s like blues but it’s new, and in its wake, Blues music will never be the same.” That is what happened to titty rap when Dance Ass came out.
So anyway, I looked up the lyrics to “Show Out” on rap genius. Big Sean raps about poppin xanax, ratchet hos, then he rhymes ‘shit’ with ‘ho’, then he talks about Anne Hathaway (lol). Then BOOM mother fkers! More Young Jeezy.
So that’s my review of “Show Out.” I hope you found it focused and insightful.
In summation: The Pophublounge gives our first ever New Music Tuesday music review, “Show Out,” 10/10 thumbs up emojis. Congrats to Juicy J and the rest of the boys. Make sure to leave a comment re: what song you want us to review next. We’ll see you guys next week!
