Okay, here at OhhTee Blog, you know that we are HUGGGEEEE John Green fans. Well I stumbled upon a John Green review of ‘Eleanor & Park,’ by Rainbow Rowell which you can seehere. But also, John Green was on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, speaking about his emergency dental surgery, The Faults in Our Stars, and other funny things.
So of course I had to jump on the chance to interview a new up and coming group especially since one of the members is a hottie that I personally know. I was lucky enough to be squeezed into their schedule and get some questions answered.
If you're into rap and hip hop you'll definitely love these guys. They're raunchy very "thug life" but it's dope. I gave it a listen and thought it was amazeballs.
Of course all good interviews start with the basic questions. What's the name of the group and who are the members? "Well the name of our group is "MottaGang" which stems from a brotherhood formed many years ago by the name of "mbam" mottagang consists of the following , "KillaTal" "Marz" "ElGifted" "shiggz" we live by the motta. InBamWeTrust!" Doesn't that sound awesome? In Bam We Trust..kind of like In God we trust..interesting huh?
After getting that answered I had to ask what made a group of hot 20 something year old get together and become a group? Well apparently killatal (aka Jorge since that's what I know him as lol) met gifted when he was 16 and they formed a crew which was called Mbam with Buck and Twizzy. Shortly after they met Marz,Shiggz,Cuervo,and Rich. They formed a big family with 4 of them being individual artists as well as a group.
Isn't is awesome when hot guys decide to get together and become a group? Yes ladies, we are lucky we get eye candy and good music. YASS! (That's yes for those of you who haven't picked up on my way of talking yet.)
So you have to wonder who influenced this young group of gentlemen to get involved in the music business to begin with. After all everyone has someone that makes them want to reach their dreams and become more. To name a few artists who influenced them (just a couple haha) Wutang, 50cent, Mobbdeep, Nas, Jayz, Jadakiss, StylesP, Dmx, Tupac, Biggie, BigL, BigPun, (imagine if he had mentioned everyone, that's just a few lol) and the this list goes on and on. They also listen to some of the new school rap out now but since they are an up and coming group they prefer to not gas any heads. Lol you have to love their honesty.
Personally I always want to know where an artist sees themselves in the future so I had to ask where does MottaGang see themselves in 5 years? "In 5 years I see "mottagang" being an elite music group in the tri state area with all of us having our own individual fan base Making some heavy noise! The new "Wu"is here. The new "unit" is here. The new "RR" is here!! MottaGang!" WOOF! Sounds legit to me, seems like we will be hearing a lot of these boys in the future.
If you're wondering if they have any performances lined up well at the moment they don't, they're so busy being lab rats that they haven't penciled in any performances. But I'm sure as soon as they do start performing I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Make sure to check them out on YouTube and support the Motta movement.
I want to personally thank Jorge (Killatal) for taking time off his busy schedule to answer my questions and make this interview happen. Good luck to you guys and can't wait to here more from you guys.
Woah, have you seen that Miley Cyrus video of her "Twerkin'"? If not, you need to see it NOW!
Personally, I'm not mad at her. If you can do it, then do it. People hate on Miley Cyrus, but for what? I don't see anything wrong with her behavior, because she's acting just like a normal girl her age. Maybe it has something to do with her father being Bill Ray Cyrus, or that she had a show on Disney channel. But now she's grown, and is growing into a beautiful woman. So props to Miley for being who she is.
Beyonce' - Bow Down/I've Been On Well King Bey is back. Now this song is an entirely 180 of Beyonce' but I think you should still check it out. It's a bit edger than her normal sound, and has gotten mix reviews by her fans. Me personally, I liked the beat, and how she chopped & screwed the ending. I've never seen Beyonce really be a center of controversy, but this song is starting some whispers. Just press play, and you'll understand why.
Blake Lewis - Your Touch
Now that the weather is breaking, you need some new music to blast with the windows down. This is your song. Blake Lewis vocals, mixed with this beat, I give it an A++. A little Dub-Step in the background, you're great to go. Check it out.
Ciara - Body Party Ciara is back with a new mature, sexier sound. The song has mixed reviews, but I like it. I think her sound is a lot better (she must've been working hard lately) than she used to be. Ciara might be giving RiRi a run for her money now. Check it out.
James Arthur - Impossible I know this song isn't exactly NEW, but I just came across it yesterday. James Arthur's version of Shontelle's song Impossible is probably (in my opinion) better than the original. His voice is so rugged, but smoothed. I'm still trying to figure out how a voice could have "swag". Heres a link to his SoundCloud, where you can check out some of his other covers and single. (Highly Recommended)
Pink (Feat. Nate Ruess) - Just Give Me a Reason
Just Give Me a Reason isn't really *NEW* also, but it's a great song that I personally think everyone should listen to. Honestly, I think it's Nate Ruess that makes it so good. His voice is so distinct, it makes the vocals shine. Hit Play, and let me know what you think.
I have the greatest respect for the literary arts, especially for Sir Author Conan Doyle (and Poe, but we won't go there).
Check out that mustache, he is freaking awesome. -->
There has been many adaptations to the worlds greatest Sherlock Holmes, and I'm excited that the BBC has decided on a season THREE and FOUR of Sherlock.
So because tomorrow is the first day of filming season three, I am declaring it NATIONAL SHERLOCK DAY! If you follow me on any of my social networks, I will be talking about Sherlock.
I'm excited to see Benedict Cumberbatch back in action as Sherlock. I won't spoil the ending of season two, but if you have the time, grab a bucket of popcorn and turn on Netflix (I checked PBS, but it's not on there anymore.) and have a day with it! -Tanisha (:
