Megan The Stallion Tries To Explain Why Sexy Rappers Get Criticized So Much

Megan also reveals what’s on her Christmas list and her New Year’s resolutions for 2021. …

Ever since breaking out in 2019 with her song “Big Ole Freak” (really late 2018, but it took a while to gain steam), Megan Thee Stallion has been both a sex symbol and a lightning rod for criticism about the unapologetically sexy image and lyrics. In a new interview with GQ about, among other things, the backlash against Cardi B and Megan’s runaway hit “WAP,” the Houston Hottie takes a stab at explaining why so many people — both men and women — are bothered by female rappers owning their sexuality.

“Some people just don’t know what to do when a woman is in control and taking ownership of her own body,” Meg hypothesizes. “I feel like for a long time men felt like they owned sex and now women are saying, ‘Hey, this is for me. I want pleasure. This is how I want it or don’t want it,’ it freaks men the hell out. It just comes from a place of fear and insecurity, like why would anyone be mad about my WAP? It belongs to me.” She certainly has a point and while even GQ’s author Jonathan Heaf has a touch of trouble in the story with his very young daughter asking what a “WAP” is, Heaf also shows dodging such questions is just as easy as changing your Spotify password.

Elsewhere in the interview, Megan reveals her favorite Christmas song (Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” naturally), her New Year’s resolutions for 2021 (“Eating healthy and maintaining my skincare regime”), and the main thing on her Christmas list, other than world peace and justice for all. “My wish would be for young women everywhere to have equal access to education and to know that they are amazing, valuable, and can accomplish whatever they put their minds to. I want all my hotties to know their power and be confident in themselves.”

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
