The whole album is a brilliant inside joke from the inner workings of a musical genius—it’s clear that White Noise knows his movies and music inside out. He also has a blog, where he recently posted “Stuntin Like Mufasa” a ridiculously hilarious but surprisingly good mash of “Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from The Lion King and songs by T.I. and Jay-Z. Who would’ve guessed that it would turn out so brilliant, but with a smattering of “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga, the song proves itself a perfect throwback.

“My Chick Bad (Remix)”—Ludacris feat. Diamond, Trina, and Eve
One of the best rappers alive, Ludacris takes the back seat on this remix of his massive hit featuring the up and coming Nicki Minaj. The concept of Luda’s latest album, entitled Battle of the Sexes, is just that; each track features either a male or female vocalist in addition to Ludacris. On this remix, the women take center stage. “Fresh” rapper Diamond from Atlanta kicks off the song in fine form, but the real stars of the track are the Miami-born Trina and Philadelphia’s Eve. Trina and Minaj, the original guest on the song, are known to not get along in rap circles, so this is Luda’s sly wink at their feud. She spits insults like “I’m the baddest chick and they don’t call me that for nothin” which is a jab at Minaj’s rising star; “Light grey eyes, hourglass frame, still got the crown for best ass in the game.” Does Nicki intimidate Trina? The answer after this song is a resounding no. Eve finally returns to the game after taking an extended hiatus, making time to appear on the family friendly hit show Glee. She demonstrates her phenomenal abilities while she raps “Still reppin Philly, still the Eve of destruction…” The song shines with camaraderie, something unseen in the hip-hop community except for Lil Wayne’s Young Money crew.
“Kick Ass”—Mika
Frequently called the reincarnation of Freddie Mercury, Mika is actually quite unique. He balances his upbeat, poppy hits with ballads that plumb the depths of his voice. In this song, from the upcoming movie Kick Ass, Mika examines that same range with brilliant results. The chorus echoes “We are young, we are strong, we’re not looking for where we belong. We’re not cool, we are free, and we’re running with blood on our knees” prove the perfect accompaniment to the film that revolves around everyday people who want to be superheroes. His voice is lush and beautiful; he hits his falsetto notes (the ones that bring on chills) with such ease. When I saw him in concert last October, he proved that he wasn’t the product of a record label’s autotune: he can belt like the best of them.
