KE$HA
music 20 November 2009 :: posted by Rchrd Oh?!
Ke$ha has been controversy ever since word spread. Being the highlight of much criticism for obvious Uffie rips and for being a young girl in the LA scene, she seems like she’d be having it tough. Her song “Tik Tok” though can be heard at various parties, and honestly frat jocks and horny girls can’t seem to stop requesting it. Although the dollar sign in her name is a bit much and her tiny shorts and cowboy boots remind us of a girl playing dress up, you can’t deny the fact that this girl is going to be around for a bit, like it or not. LA has proven time and time again that anyone can make it, original or not, all you need is someone to back you up and you can make it in. The culture there is not so much on being original but on fitting in, and it spreads to the rest of the nation, and it can’t be put aside.
I can honestly say I am not a big fan of this or what happens in the crotch of California, but I just can’t ignore what is happening in the music sphere. All these girls talking about getting ridiculously wasted, spending lots of money on clothes, partying, and taking off their panties should learn a lesson from the queen of it all Lil’ Kim and eventually cover it up and call it a day. Either that or they can take a lesson from the other queen on the other side of the spectrum Peaches, and just get raunchier and raunchier. As long as they step it up it’s game. As a friend also pointed out Dirt Nasty(aka Simon Rex(aka jerk off porn rapper)) is in the video for this track, and although him and his too old for college party boyfriends that embrace white boy rapping fame in Los Angeles do have careers in rapping, no one really knows if it’s all parody or serious. Either way they know they can make a few easy dollars prostituting themselves to the culture in America that will pay for anything that “kicks ass” or “makes a pussy wet”.
Here for listen is a remix done by none other than Skeet Skeet himself, one of the few people in LA that make me love that city that you can’t deny embraces anyone and anything as long as you have a backbone. Oh and they have amazing sunsets and rooftop parties. I know there is definitely a movement to make LA cool again, it’s happening on a smaller level, let’s keep pushing.
P.S. Some of my best friends live in LA, no offense!

So . . . what do you think of the song though??

im sorry but she is ripping of Uffie FAR TOO much!

i’m not disagreeing — but, it’s kinda funny that a certain style of music is popular with an underground crowd (ie uffie) and then it is eventually marketed well (ie ke$ha) and frat jocks and nasty girls latch onto it and then that underground crowd disowns that sound and hates on it. it’s hard staying ahead of the curve, no?

i agree, but its something that has to be done. if everyone just gives up and embraces it then nothing new comes out. i think the best innovators are the ones that destroy the annoying over played old and do something completely different and fresh. Viva evolution!
November 20th, 2009 at 8.32 pm
ha. the reason chads and trixies latch on to it is because it’s been cleaned up. this girl has no personality, or rather she has THEIR personality. people like uffie have something to offer, and that is never easy to like if you are just a casual music lover. even the riffs on this song are polished no brainers, if you don’t care too much about your music, this would surely fill a void. thanks for calling it out Rchrd!

BLEEEEEEEEEEECH.

That’s why these days I mostly listen to clicks and whistles.

Kept hearing this on the radio at work and if it wasn’t a blatent style & sound rip off, it would sound pretty nice… I think it was Uffie herself that said something like “cause the next big thing is this girl called Uffie”, guess she was kinda right.

I completely agree with you on her and her type. she took a bit of Uffie and a bit of mainstream pop and made a cute little blend that will surely impress college parties and high school dances.
but I dont agree with you on LA. it sounds like you’re using shows like The Hills and Laguna Beach and the girls in an LMFAO music video to make your assumptions. we’re not like that. LA has a lot more to offer. you just have to open your eyes.

wack as hell
November 22nd, 2009 at 5.19 am
the song’s okay but then i saw her little youtube video and this bitch is wack
November 22nd, 2009 at 12.52 pm
Totally agree that she has NO personnality, think she makes music for people like her that’s all, lots of people sucks in this world not even in LA.
I think she’s goin to put peoples happy in some crappy’s french clubs soon, like in 2 or 3 months haha
November 22nd, 2009 at 6.35 pm
I like the part in the video when she is in the bathtub at the end. reminds me of a crack whore waking up in an ally.
November 22nd, 2009 at 6.58 pm
Omg this fucktard from LaLa land can goatse her frontal lobes until she’s controversial enough to be a hermaphrodite… oh wait we already have lady gaga.
So yea the uffie vocoder you have sucks it sucked when uffie did it. it just took DJ Mehdi to save it and make it good.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12.30 pm
what a disgrace. I have no words…
November 23rd, 2009 at 3.40 pm
I put a dollar sign in my name…when I was 14. This song sucks and the music video is super lame sauce…balloons flying away…big boom box….sidekick 80s mustache guy…
it was like nothing I have ever seen before!!! sigh
November 23rd, 2009 at 4.44 pm
did uffie and kattie perry merge?
November 25th, 2009 at 6.49 am
i was almost embarassed to watch tht..and surprised it was on this site…
November 27th, 2009 at 3.08 am
That’s pretty disgraceful, even if she’s tried to mainstream-ify it somewhat. The track as a whole dials back the weirdness and bareness that made Uffie/Feadz interesting in favour of something more marketable.
November 27th, 2009 at 1.43 pm
her music is shit
she gives off a whore vibe
November 27th, 2009 at 5.06 pm
so confused why kesha gets shit on while this gets the big endorsement: http://this.bigstereo.net/2009/11/13/remix-contest-jessie-malakouti/
November 27th, 2009 at 8.26 pm
because that is there to make it better. make it better. just like skeet skeet made kesha better.
November 27th, 2009 at 8.51 pm
I would compare this to Justice’s Remix of Uffie’s ‘The Party’.
November 30th, 2009 at 2.01 pm
Well, thats pop music for ya.
Its sexy, but belongs on MTV.
Not MTV 2 but MTV.
HA!
December 1st, 2009 at 5.42 am
btw the skeet skeet remix helped this song a ton for me. Def more legit!
December 1st, 2009 at 5.42 am
Bare Uffie rip off likee
December 5th, 2009 at 11.19 am
wow. the first few lines in the track are total uffie. obviously cleaned up for mass-market consumption. Jeez.
December 5th, 2009 at 12.57 pm
C’Mon… this is way too much uffie imitation
December 12th, 2009 at 2.30 pm
I don’t understand these comparisons with Uffie at all. Sure, Uffie has sweet rhymes but the music back them off is dull and repetitive. Honestly, I really want to like her. I wish someone besides Oizo would remix it so I could dance to it, but as it stands her songs are seriously lacking.
Ke$ha on the other hand has clever rhymes over hot dance beats that need no remixing. And sure she’s shallow, but after three years of Britney and all her imitators dressing up like virgin Madonnas (in both senses), the sincerity is a breath of fresh air. She sings about getting wasted and shopping because, gee, that’s what she does.
