"Jr. Pinchers vs. Twinz Beatz" vs. Kanye West





What do you get when Kanye West, one of the biggest stars on the planet takes a detour into dance music? You get a mega star, Kanye, stuck on the moon. Kanye has had successful projects in the past and is well known for ground breaking albums that defy gravity and this has given him the "machismo" to explore his musicality. "Walking on the moon" is actually a multi collaboration with Terius “The–Dream” Nash"1who is this collaborations dominate entity,and Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel the hit making Dj/Prodcuers responsible for "Walking on the Moon's" most popular version on iTunes.


The Dream


The–Dream began writings songs for up–and–coming rappers and hooks for his peers. He got his first publishing deal in 2003, when he signed to Peer Music after writing B2K’s single, “Everything.” He also had an additional hit on Brittney Spear's album, “Me Against the Music” feat. Madonna. But his biggest hit to date is the Rihanna hit "Umbrella." "Walking on the moon," leans heavily on The Dream with the bulk of the 8:31 song being sung by The Dream using his unique vocals and hooks to carry the song, at least for the first 5:20.


Kanye's role in this single is limited to his signature 16 bar flow that he delivers with ease. And that is the extent of his lyrics salted with Swag references, Drunk texting, and your typical money, cars, and girls, but nothing much else.


Sean haji
Paul Emanuel

Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel pull this whole project together by once again taking a great song and making it better. With over a decade of Dj/Producing under their belts they massage this track to dance classic status.

So why if you have the hottest Hook maker (by way of "The Dream"), a mega star with international appeal (Mega star being Kanye West), and the hit making duo Dj's (Seamus H & Paul E), why does "Walking on the moon" get smashed by Jr. Pinchers vs. Twinz Beatz?

"Back Broke" the infectious hit from the indie label SloppiShizzle Records is tearing up Jamaica's Music Countdown charts with Richie B, the host of Hot Mix on Hot 102 FM. A top 20 countdown show that Billboard uses to chart the top 40 Reggae songs. I know, I know, I know, how does an Electronic song make it's way on a Reggae top 20 chart? By beaing universal, "oh and having the son of a famous Jamaican artist on the track also helps" says Richie B."


Jr. Pinchers
The breakout artist on SloppiShizzle Records label

Who is this "son of a famous Jamaican artist" Richie B is talking about? Non other than Kamal Thompson aka Jr. Pinchers, son of the famed and loved Pinchers of "Bandelero." Jr. Pinchers, recently signed to SloppiShizzle Records to record his 3rd album after escaping his old label and management.

The "Godfather of Fun" Dj Bill Kelly Co-Founder/Director of the Winter Music Conference, had this to say about "Back Broke."

"Ok “Godfather of Fun” rarely writes about or reviews tracks BUT Jr. Pinchers vs. Twinz Beatz “Back Broke” is no track, this is a song! the hypnotic riff which actually turns out to be a Sax hook captivated me for a quick min but the almost sung like rap lyrics slapped me up side the ear and said LISTEN TO ME!! Alright I have to admit for only six weeks 19,837 plays cred has to be given; however can I say screw cred? My rating of this iTune is I LOVE IT. Now isn’t that all that counts?"

Other reviews of "Back Broke" on Itunes go on to say things like:

"Once you hear it you can't stop signing it "Whine until your back broke!!! Great song (iTunes member Kee & Berna)

"This song is a must have...and for .99 cents you can't go wrong!" (iTunes member LissyNJFL84)

"I like the direction this type of music takes. The beat takes on a style of its own." (iTunes member Esells)

"I love this song!!!The beats are catchy and fun; a song worth buying. It made my top 5 fav. songs, as #1!!!" (iTunes member Izzy1318)

The reviews go on and on like this which in comparison to "Walking on the moon's tepid reviews seems over the top for a completely unknown label. Only on Itunes could a major label like Def Jam Music and an Indie label like SloppiShizzle Records go head to head for consumer attention.



So the question still remains why is Kanye West's new single "Walking on the Moon" having trouble against Jr. Pinchers vs. Twinz Beatz" new single "Back Broke?" I guess you will have to make up your own mind and take the "WOTM vs Back Broke" challenge! I am not going to try and pursuade you either way make up your own mind. Review both tracks and write your own review. See if you agree or disagree with this writter about the troubles Kanye West is having against Jr. Pinchers vs. Twinz Beatz.



Shit!! "Whine until your Back Broke" is now stuck in my head for the rest of the day...

Australian singer and songwriter Xavier Rudd first got our attention with his addictive blend of socially-charged lyrics and reggae, acoustic and folk-infused sound. When we found out that this Platinum-selling environmetalist was also a vegetarian, we knew it was a match made in PETA heaven.

Xavier Rudd recently sat down to do an interview with PETA Asia-Pacific. Not only do we have insider info on Xavier Rudd's latest record, White Moth, we also found out what made him realize that going vegetarian was the right thing to do.

“When I realized how animals have to suffer in the meat industry, I decided never to eat meat again,” says Rudd.

PETA Asia-Pacific has teamed up with Missy Higgins, Sophie Monk, Hilltop Hood, Kisschasy, and Imogen Bailey in the past to raise awareness about animal rights issues.

Dave Dow

March 2nd 2008 09:35
There are few performers who can captivate an audience with just vocals and a guitar alone – but Brisbane-based Dave Dow is certainly one of these anomalies. His personality shines through on stage, stopping passer-bys in their tracks as he demonstrates his musical aptitude and vocal skill on an eclectic range of styles ranging from Motown classics to current Top 20. As a performer, there is little Dave hasn’t mastered.

Playing in bands since he was 16, he has always worked part-time in the music industry, often supporting his love of the craft with mundane work elsewhere. But this wasn’t going to be the case for long – its not like you can keep a performer of this calibre out of the spotlight, so eight years ago he put everything else on hold and starting pursuing music full-time. And he hasn’t really looked back since. He’s traversed the globe performing from gigs in every outpost of Australia, to New Zealand, Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, South Africa and China. This year he’s gearing up for a six-week stint performing in New York and is hoping to break into the music scene in the States and Canada.

When not traveling overseas, Dave has supported some of the biggest names in the Australian music industry, and some impressive international visitors. From the likes of Wendy Matthews, Coloured Stone, Yothu Yindi, James Morrison, Marina Prior, Darlene Zschech and Phil Emmanuel to Ministry of Sound (UK), Russell Crowe, Lucky Dube, Lole (NZ) and Ba Cissoko (West Africa), he moulds his musical style to suit any occasion. So versatile is this performer that he has gone from grooving through the hits of Motown one set, to lending his vocals to the plastic pop hits of the current charts just to suit his audience. It doesn’t matter to Dave – it is all music and it’s all about audience enjoyment.

The breadth of his repertoire is impressive and he can master songs not only by some of the most legendary artists of our time, but also perform songs from chart topping female artists on occasion. This is an impressive demonstration of his skill as a musician and the multi-instrumentalist makes everything look like it is the easiest transition to make in the world. It’s no surprise then to find he can play in front of any kind of audience, from Aboriginal communities to schools and backpacker hostels, to corporate events, gigs at Parliament House and shows in prisons, hospitals, restaurants and churches. His blend of roots, soul, R&B, gospel, jazz, funk, Motown, soft rock and current hits means his music appeals to everyone regardless of age or musical preference.

Chaz. H. Scally cds

Chaz. H. Scally
demo
I scored this for free at a PCYC show where Chaz. H. Scally played their first show. Basically the band is three members of Penrith ska-core band Titan Outfits with an added bassplayer. I think I actually prefer this band to Titan Outfits, it’s more melodic and rock/punk based, and they were tight live so this CD is actually a really good indication of what they sound like. There are four songs, the best of which is probably the opener “Attack in Progress”. There isn’t much else to say… the best bits are when they all sing for the big group vocals. I like it

Steppin Razor

Steppin Razor
Self-titled
I don’t know if you’d call this a demo because it sounds pretty spotless and looks like a regular CD, so I’ll just assume this is an (ahem) “debut EP”. Steppin’ Razor are a Sydney-based ska-punk band… Think Rancid, Last Hemeroids, Operation Ivy, all that sort of thing, complete with a sax player. The EP kicks off with an instrumental but I don’t really dig instrumentals so I won’t comment… the rest of the CD is good though. ‘Criminal’, ‘All About Control’ and ‘Tell Us What You’re Gonna Do” are all great catchy tracks with great gang-choruses, and “Politics” just sits really well with me, not because of it’s lyrics or anything, I just like the shape of the song I guess. Anyway, if you like ska-punk even a little bit then you should get yourself a copy of this EP because it’s rad

Detox Unit

July 3rd 2006 11:26
There's not really much I can write about Detox Unit... they're an old Western Sydney ska/punk band who broke up around, oh shit, I dunno - probably 1999 or 2000 at the latest. I don't have reference points to read up on them at so I'm writing this strictly from memory.

Chaz. H. Scally are some Penrith dudes who have been keeping skacore alive (pretty much all on their lonesome) in Western Sydney for the last couple of years. They're the perfect mix between hardcore and ska, they don't disservice one side in favour of the other - they keep it REAL yo!

Steppin Razor

June 10th 2006 02:01
Steppin Razor are a Sydney-based ska/punk band in the vein of Rancid, The Clash, H-Block 101, etc, etc. They formed in late 2004 and have pretty much filled Sydney's ska-punk niche... coming at a time when bands of this nature are either few and far between or of a lesser quality. Their original drummer Adam has been recently replaced by Tome. They follow in the footsteps of much-loved defunct Sydney ska-punk band 'The Last Hemeroids', of which Sax player Mark was a former member.
