#jay z and paul mccartney are
and what if i tell you the thirteen minute flight was by an estate company because she long sold that jet, i don't think y'all are here for reason. accept it taylor swift is the poster child for your hate
the thing is you people are so hateful towards her that you don't care about the actual issue but bringing her down.
awh, you know me so well............... im free tomorrow night if you are?
#taylor swift#look. im fine with discussing the nuance in these situations. i have consistently and you'd know that if you took a quick scroll#i like taylor swift as a person as a musician and as a businesswoman overall but lately it has not been minor issues#or things that can be swept away#the fact is that she holds an immense amount of power right now and she is squandering all the good she can do with it#i believe she should cut down her carbon emissions just as i believe anyone on that top 10 list should.#like where is steven spielberg even flying to that much??? there is absolutely no excuse.#and we can argue that it's for the tour but taylor swift was the biggest celebrity carbon emitter of 2022 -- theres a Yard article on it#i can share the link if you'd like but its a quick google search. she was not on tour during that time.#and i believe that she is just as awful for being a billionaire because there is no ethical way to hoard that much money as rihanna and#jay z and paul mccartney are#the reason i talk more about taylor swift is 1) i genuinely just know more about her and am a fan so i have a right to criticize#and 2) she arguably has more influence than all of those people combined right now. over wealth she has power and the public eye on her#does it suck? yeah. but clearly not enough because she's still doing what she does at the same level#i dont hate her. i just dont like her very much. at least not right now.#and this is JUST economic and environmental issues to say NOTHING about political and social issues. i dont need her to acknowledge#everything and anything. but maybe three headlines in the new york times. she can pick the timeline#i probably shouldve made this its own post but tbh. i dont care that much especially not if yall are reading it in bad faith#asks#the tree speaks#ily anon

Rihanna
Robyn Rihanna Fenty (Saint Michael, Barbados; 20 de febrero de 1988), conocida simplemente como Rihanna, es una cantante, actriz, diseñadora y empresaria barbadense. Es conocida por fusionar algunos géneros caribeños con música pop y por reinventar su imagen a través de los años. Su impacto en la cultura popular la ha llevado a convertirse en un icono de la música y de la moda, por lo que se refieren a ella como la «Princesa del R&B» y «Reina de la Moda».3​4​
Nacida en Saint Michael y criada en Bridgetown, Barbados, Rihanna hizo una audición para el productor de discos estadounidense Evan Rogers en 2003, quien la invitó a los Estados Unidos para grabar cintas de demostración. Después de firmar con Def Jam en 2005, pronto obtuvo reconocimiento con el lanzamiento de sus dos primeros álbumes de estudio, Music of the Sun (2005) y A Girl Like Me (2006), ambos influenciados por la música caribeña y alcanzaron su punto máximo dentro de los diez primeros puestos de la lista Billboard 200 de Estados Unidos.
El tercer álbum de Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), incorporó elementos de dance pop y estableció su estatus como símbolo sexual en la industria de la música. El sencillo «Umbrella», que encabezó las listas de éxitos, le valió a Rihanna su primer premio Grammy y la catapultó al estrellato mundial. Continuó mezclando géneros pop, dance y R&B en sus siguientes álbumes de estudio, Rated R (2009), Loud (2010), Talk That Talk (2011) y Unapologetic (2012), el último de los cuales se convirtió en su primer número uno en Billboard 200. Los álbumes generaron una serie de sencillos que encabezaron las listas de éxitos, incluidos «Rude Boy», «Only Girl (In the World)», «What's My Name?», «S&M», «We Found Love», «Where Have You Been» y «Diamonds». Su octavo álbum, Anti (2016), mostró un nuevo control creativo tras su salida de Def Jam. Se convirtió en su segundo álbum número uno en los Estados Unidos y contó con el sencillo «Work» que encabezó las listas de éxitos. Durante su carrera musical, Rihanna ha colaborado con muchos artistas, como Drake, Britney Spears, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adam Levine, Paul McCartney, Ne-Yo y Shakira.
Con ventas de más de 250 millones de discos en todo el mundo, Rihanna es la segunda artista musical femenina con mayores ventas de todos los tiempos. Ha obtenido 14 números uno y 31 sencillos entre los diez primeros en los Estados Unidos y 30 entradas entre los diez primeros en el Reino Unido. Sus elogios incluyen nueve premios Grammy, 13 American Music Awards (incluido el Icon Award, por su trayectoria y contribución al mundo de la música), 12 Billboard Music Awards, siete MTV Video Music Awards (incluido el Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, un reconocimiento entregado a músicos que han tenido un profundo impacto en la denominada «cultura MTV», a través de su discografía y videografía5​) seis Guinness World Records y el premio del presidente de la NAACP. Spotify le otorgó el título de la artista femenina más escuchada de todos los tiempos.6​7​8​ La revista Billboard la nombró «artista digital» de la década de 2000, «artista Hot 100» de la década de 2010 y «artista mainstream» más importante de los últimos 20 años.9​10​11​12​ En 2023, fue incluida en el puesto número 68 de la lista «Los 200 mejores cantantes de todos los tiempos» de la revista Rolling Stone.13​ Es considerada por dos medios de comunicación estadounidense como la artista musical más influyente y exitosa del siglo xxi.14​15​ Time la nombró una de las 100 personas más influyentes del mundo en 2012 y 2018. Forbes la ubicó entre las diez celebridades mejor pagadas en 2012 y 2014.16​17​18​19​ A partir de 2022, es la música femenina más rica, con un patrimonio neto estimado de $1.4 mil millones.20​21​
Aparte de la música, Rihanna es conocida por su participación en causas humanitarias, proyectos empresariales y la industria de la moda. Es la fundadora de la organización sin fines de lucro Clara Lionel Foundation, la marca de cosméticos Fenty Beauty y la casa de moda Fenty bajo LVMH; ella es la primera mujer negra en encabezar una marca de lujo para LVMH.22​ Rihanna también se ha aventurado en la actuación, apareciendo en papeles importantes en Battleship (2012), Home (2015), Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) y Ocean's 8 (2018). Fue nombrada embajadora de educación, turismo e inversión por el Gobierno de Barbados en 2018, y fue declarada Héroe Nacional de Barbados el primer día de la república parlamentaria del país en 2021, lo que le da derecho al estilo de «The Right Excelente» de por vida.23​ Rihanna encabezó el espectáculo de medio tiempo del Super Bowl LVII el 12 de febrero de 2023.

I just feel like with the more billionaires we have in this world, a lot of people seems to forget how much money a BILLION truly is. Not a single individual should have an amount of money that could prevent world hunger. Taylor and other musicians who are billionaires like Rihanna, Jay Z, Paul Mccartney could donate a large portion of their wealth and still be left with millions of dollars that could last them for a lifetime
People always get so defensive with the “but they don’t own sweatshops and exploit workers!!” argument and forget that the biggest argument for why being a billionaire is unethical is the extreme wealth gaps and global inequality between the thousands of billionaires we have right now with the rest of the population where the average citizen has to work multiple jobs to pay rent 
bingo bingo bingo!

‘I can make a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can.’
Hollywood Fame is excited to announce that on August 27th we will be taking our annual music festival to a different borough in NYC! Join us in the Boogie Down Bronx at...
YANKEE STADIUM!
This is a ONE day, mandatory event for all members! By mandatory we mean that every celeb must be in attendance (hiatus or not). Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Billy Joel and Metallica have all entertained on the Yankee Stadium stage and now is your chance to join them in performance history. Whether they wish to participate as a presenter or performer, or just go to enjoy the festival, is up to you, but your celeb must be there. Yankee Stadium will be catering to our A-list celebrities by offering free food, drinks, dancing, vip sections, and an overall spectacle of a show - cue the gliz, glam, fireworks and pyrotechnics! The annual music festival is an event like no other with celebrities traveling from both near and far to attend. Remember, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere ;)
With that we are opening up the sign up to either be a presenter or performer!
PERFORMERS: If you’d like for your celeb to perform at the festival please send us an IM! If you’re a part of a band - please specify in the IM if you’d like to perform solo or with your band! Also, let us know if you’d like to do a musical collab with another artist or dancer! We’ll be making a snazzy flyer! Last year we had some amazing combos! Please know, this is open to EVERYONE. Your celeb does not have to be a professional singer to perform. If the dancers want to put on a dance performance from their tour, or if an actor or model or dancer wants to debut themselves as a singer for the first time - GO FOR IT! It’s open to EVERYONE!
PRESENTERS: Also, we need presenters for this festival! So all you actors, actress’, YouTubers, models, dancers, and/or other singers who don’t want to actually perform - we need you! Over the past few years the presenters made cute, fun, witty posts on the dash introducing the celeb they were paired up with. Think of the person who introduces a celeb on the Grammy’s before they perform! Please just send us an IM letting us know what you’d like your celeb to do! If you’d like someone in specific to introduce, let us know that too! Otherwise, presenters will just be paired up at random (using a generator) with the person who is performing :)
Whether you’d like your celeb to participate as a performer, presenter, or just enjoy the show is entirely up to you.
PLEASE HAVE ALL IMS SENT TO THE MAIN SPECIFYING IF YOU’D LIKE YOUR CELEB TO PRESENT OR PERFORM BY AUGUST 22ND!
Please like this notice so we know you’re all aware!

The Record-Breakers: Discovering Who Holds the Title for the Most Grammy Awards
Tumblr media
The Grammy Awards are one of the most prestigious accolades in the music industry. They recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements in the recording arts, honoring artists, producers, songwriters, and engineers for their exceptional work. Over the years, many artists have won multiple Grammy Awards, but who has won the most?
The musician with the most Grammy Awards is Sir Georg Solti, a Hungarian-born conductor who won a total of 31 Grammys throughout his career. Solti was the music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1991 and was renowned for his interpretations of works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner. He received his first Grammy Award in 1962 for Best Opera Recording, and his last in 1997, just a year before his death. Solti is widely considered to be one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, and his record-breaking number of Grammy Awards is a testament to his remarkable talent.
Following closely behind Solti is Alison Krauss, an American bluegrass-country singer and fiddler, who has won 27 Grammy Awards. Krauss is one of the most successful female artists in the history of the Grammy Awards, with a career spanning over three decades. She has collaborated with many renowned musicians, including Robert Plant, John Waite, and Yo-Yo Ma, and has won awards in a variety of categories, including Best Bluegrass Album, Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and Album of the Year.
Third on the list is Quincy Jones, a legendary American music producer, arranger, and composer, who has won 28 Grammy Awards. Jones has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Aretha Franklin, and has been a driving force in the industry for over six decades. He has won awards in a range of categories, including Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s), Best Jazz Fusion Performance, and Best Music Video, Short Form.
Other notable musicians who have won multiple Grammy Awards include Stevie Wonder (25), Beyoncé (28), Jay-Z (23), and Paul McCartney (18). These artists have had a significant impact on the music industry and have continued to innovate and inspire throughout their careers.
It’s worth noting that the Grammy Awards have faced criticism and controversy over the years for their lack of diversity and representation. In response, the Recording Academy has taken steps to increase diversity among its membership and expand its recognition of a broader range of artists and genres. One of the most recent Grammy Awards ceremony, held in 2021, saw a significant increase in the number of female and minority winners, indicating a positive shift towards greater inclusion and equity.
In conclusion, Sir Georg Solti holds the record for the most Grammy Awards, with 31 wins to his name. However, he is closely followed by Alison Krauss and Quincy Jones, who have both won a remarkable number of awards in their respective careers. The Grammy Awards are a testament to the outstanding talent and creativity of musicians around the world, and as the industry continues to evolve, we can expect to see many more groundbreaking artists recognized and celebrated for their exceptional work.

Copied from my brief review of this project on Bandcamp: Just a sensational project of sampling, archival interpolations of Beatles lore, and bombastic Wu-Tang Clan collective verses. Wu-Tang Killa Beez, we on a swarm across the universe to the Octopus's Garden with Rocky Raccoon and I Me Mine.
Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers, a 2011 project created by UK record producer and DJ Tom Caruana, is essentially the symbolic successor in composition and vision to American musician/record producer Danger Mouse's 2004 The Grey Album. 7 years prior, Danger Mouse isolated instrumentals and samples of The Beatles' self-titled ninth album (more popularly known as The White Album), which he then incorporated into a flipped version of Jay-Z's 2003 classic The Black Album. The end result was a striking experiment that utilized the Lads from Liverpool in a rather stripped-down yet engaging manner of beat chopping and looping. The influence of their melodies and instrumentals sonically transformed the Jay-Z a capella tracks from his well-acclaimed eighth album.
While Jay-Z's retirement after The Black Album's release turned out to be a lie after he returned to music with his ninth studio album Kingdom Come released in 2006, Danger Mouse faced the truth of his sampling experiment being met with cease-and-desist letters from British music label EMI. The transnational company owned the copyright for virtually all Beatles discographies in distribution. However, their attempts to stop record sales of The Grey Album were met with widespread advocacy campaigns in support of Danger Mouse's project. In fact, both represented parties in the remixed album -- both Jay-Z and the surviving members of The Beatles (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) -- were said to have approved of The Grey Album. Jay-Z stated in a 2010 interview with NPR that he "[thought] it was a really strong album. I champion any form of creativity, and that was a genius idea -- to do it. And it sparked so many others like it... I was honored to be on -- you know, quote-unquote, the same song with The Beatles." Comparatively, McCartney appraised The Grey Album as an example of how The Beatles' music interacted with Black American music: "It was really cool when hip-hop started, you would hear references in lyrics, you always felt honored. It's exactly what we did in the beginning – introducing black soul music to a mass white audience. It's come full circle. It's, well, cool. When you hear a riff similar to your own, your first feeling is 'rip-off.' After you've got over it you think, 'Look at that, someone's noticed that riff.'"
Two thoughts come to my mind in response to two particular positions I found disagreeable from the information presented up to this point. 1) Paul McCartney seemingly presents a position of ownership that he and his former bandmates possessed over the rock/rhythm and blues/soul/jazz/etc. genres that he says The Beatles 'traded influences with' prior to The Grey Album's creation. In response to Paul, I must say... ehh. Nah, sir. I would argue that an asymmetrical relationship can be found between the black music influences for which The Beatles absorbed and whitewashed when interpreting them for audiences of primarily millions of privileged, cis, het, white Americans, who ate Beatlemania up. Several early Beatles songs from their first four studio albums featured covers of songs initially composed and/or made popular by successful yet relatively underrated contemporary Black artists at the time. These covered songs include the following:
Arthur Alexander's "Anna (Go to Him)", The Shirelles's "Boys" and "Baby It's You", The Isley Brothers's "Twist and Shout", The Marvelettes' "Please Mr. Postman", Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Rock and Roll Music", Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "You Really Got a Hold on Me", The Donays' "Devil in his Heart", Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I Want"), Roy Lee Johnson's "Mr. Moonlight", and a combination of Wilbert Harrison and Little Richard's respective versions of "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!"
If anything, what this list of compiled songs that The Beatles had covered demonstrates is the sheer impact that Black American music instead possessed over The Beatles. The music that The Beatles played for the entire world to hear was picked and chosen from the soul, Motown, R&B, and rock tunes who the Merseyside Mop Tops were trying to emulate. As a result of their efforts, The Beatles were disproportionately crowned as music royalty regardless of all musical appropriation tactics they had employed to get to this point.
I must acknowledge, too, that this perspective comes from a longtime Beatles fan since I was 10 years old. I fall into this overwhelming, engaging, toxic culture we call Beatles fandom. I spent years attempting to learn dozens of John Lennon-style rhythmic guitar arrangements for popular Beatles songs. I even grew out my hair to achieve the aspirational bangs of a mop top when I was eleven! I viewed this group as infallible... and now, I must admit that my worship failed to acknowledge rightful criticism being lodged towards the English band who, for some diehard fans, catalyzed the development of popular music for decades to come.
There is much more to be said about how The Beatles were the product of the beat/mod music scene in 1960s Northern England that was often centered around northern soul -- where predominantly white dance clubs were enthralled by the experience of dancing wildly to Black American southern soul records while stimulated on amphetamines. There is even more to be said of how The Beatles utilized American folk rock and Indian raga influences as momentary experimentations during their years of psychedelic, purple hazes (I am not sure if The Beatles had a personal relationship with the greatest rock soloist ever known in popular music: Jimi Hendrix). But alas, I must simplify my argument to this: Paul McCartney is wrong when describing The Grey Album as the music of The Beatles 'coming full circle.' If I were to correct this logic, The White Album and The Black Album would instead be described as reciprocally related; both equally borrow from and are shaped by music elements of the past while also presenting outstanding, innovative displays of musical greatness (e.g., Jay-Z's "Encore", The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps").
2) Secondly, my further critique of this unexpectedly longwinded discussion of The Grey Album is to also critique the project for its shortcomings; by it being an experiment, the project is rough around the edges in terms of its execution. The samples incorporated by Danger Mouse are limited by the extent of where the original Beatles instrumentals venture in terms of beat flip-ability. The rap rock/at-times trip hop experiment can become repetitive and one-dimensional in the way it loops original Beatles song samples. It is, to me, a prototype of sampling projects to come.
A rightful usurper for the greatest project to mashup The Beatles with hip-hop surely did come with the release of Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers. In contrast to The Grey Album, little information about the musicological history of the former project could be found when I was conducting my Google search-based research prior to writing this blog entry. Tom Caruana is not as widely known as Danger Mouse, with his 2011 remix album likely undergoing countless rounds of music sample copyright battles. In contrast to Danger Mouse, Caruana is not supported by online campaigns to provide him overwhelming support of his work while facing legal challenges. Several uploads of this project have come and gone in their limited stays upon YouTube (which is a common streaming platform for more informal postings that may not clear the rigorous regulatory requirements put in place by, say, Spotify).
With this Tumblr post, here is my attempt to uplift this album that truly deserves much wider praise. Whereas The Grey Album falls slightly short because of the simplicity of its utilized samples, Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers is an astoundingly imaginative album in terms of how it expands upon said musical sampling. Caruana channels the ability to do so by crate-digging and flipping jazz/ska covers of Beatles original songs. To provide an example of this effective mixing and layering of samples, I want to highlight my favorite track from the project: "Forget Me Not." On this mix of the song, Caruana meshes a pitched-down spin of Jamaican guitarist Ernest Ranglin's heavenly cover of the McCartney-led "You Won't See Me" with bass, snare, and the sharp tongue of Wu-Tang killer bee Inspectah Deck lamenting about a decaying relationship with his momentary flame. A brief break ensues, with the archival recording beginning to play that is an interview of Paul McCartney about how he copes with the attention of multiple girls. This clip is then followed by snippet recordings of excited Beatles fans describing their attempts trying their darndest to make it into the private rooms of the four Liverpool Lads when they were on tour. The end result is an extremely fun, head-bopping mastery of a soul sample featuring an original Beatles melody, a wonderful ska instrumental cover, and a member of the Wu-Tang Clan collective sharing in the sentiments aired by the original song's lyrics.
This song is just a start for interpreting the immense creativity featured within Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers. Throughout the rest of the songs, Caruana continues to demonstrate the perfect balance of Beatles melody, Wu-Tang rhymes, and unearthed sampling deep cuts for providing the basis of the project. There is much more I can say about each song demonstrating a significant amount of intention being put into blending The Beatles and The Wu-Tang Clan through sonic chemistry and overlapping lyrical themes. However, it is 5 in the morning as I finish up this blog entry. I am tired. And so, I encourage you, reader, to give the full album a listen for yourself. Experience what I mean when I say that this project eclipses the sampling capabilities initially shown in The Grey Album. Tom Caruana's Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers is truly an internet music marvel to behold that meets the perfect middle point for a longtime Beatles fan turned hip-hop snob turned aspiring jazz enjoyer (i.e., it is a perfect album, in my eyes). And I think that you will enjoy listening to it, too.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty NH (born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer, actress, fashion designer, and businesswoman. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, Rihanna was discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers who invited her to the United States to record demo tapes. After signing with Def Jam in 2005, she soon gained recognition with the release of her first two studio albums, Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl Like Me (2006), both of which were influenced by Caribbean music and peaked within the top ten of the US Billboard 200 chart. Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), incorporated elements of dance-pop and established her status as a sex symbol in the music industry. The chart-topping single "Umbrella" earned Rihanna her first Grammy Award and catapulted her to global stardom. She continued to mix pop, dance, and R&B genres on her next studio albums, Rated R (2009), Loud (2010), Talk That Talk (2011), and Unapologetic (2012), the latter of which became her first Billboard 200 number one. The albums spawned a string of chart-topping singles, including "Rude Boy", "Only Girl (In the World)", "What's My Name?", "S&M", "We Found Love", "Where Have You Been" and "Diamonds". Her eighth album, Anti (2016), showcased a new creative control following her departure from Def Jam. It became her second US number one album and featured the chart-topping single "Work". During her musical career, Rihanna has collaborations with artists such Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adam Levine, Paul McCartney, Ne-Yo, and Shakira.#egybtmusic #usamusic #anghamimusic #spotifymusic #deezermusic #googlemusic #applemusic #music #rihanna

the issue with this is that when you “call out” the others. you are trying to deflect blame and accountability to defend taylor. it’s also apart of a false equivalent fallacy because taylor being a mega star with hella more GLOBAL impact is a different ballgame than less famous artists social power
So am I not supposed to talk about other artists jet usage, like the Kardashians, Jay Z and Travis Scott, because somehow they are “less impactful” than Taylor’s? When I speak about social inequity and hoarding health, I’m not supposed to talk about other billionaires, like Rihanna and Paul McCartney, because they are somehow more ethical than Taylor Swift? I’m supposed to just criticize her (which I do, a lot, which you don’t know because you have no idea who I am and is just talking out of your ass) and let everyone else slide? I see.
Also, I would like to add some nuance to this debate because people online seem to not be able to do that on their own: being a Taylor Swift fan DOES NOT mean you automatically agree with being a huge environmental monster and a billionaire. Being a Taylor Swift fan simply means that you like her music. It does not mean the fans are billionaires or polluters. They CAN be critical of hers AND OF EVERYONE ELSES because THEY are not the ones causing this trouble, SHE is. And a Taylor Swift fan being critical of other artists just means that they are critical of another artist, something WE ALL should be because we let them slide with too much shit.
