THE PREDATOR PODCAST & BLOG PRESENTS//// THE EXAMINATION PODCAST – MUSIC REVIEWS BUT DIFFERENT

THE HYPNOTIST’S DAUGHTERS

The reason I thought to review Emmy for the vintage review last week, was because I couldn’t help but hear her as a huge influence in Taylor’s music for this Torture album. Taylor never does anything first. What she has done well is she has the best entrepreneur narrative creators around her, and they create an idea of a human being that will appeal to practically every woman on the planet (or in the west, but I’m going to take a gamble and say she has fans in Russia, Jordan, Africa….NOT JUST THE WEST).

Emmy the Great, has a very similar narrative, but she didn’t have the P.R team like Taylor’s, and she wasn’t a “all American good looks gal”, with blonde hair and also she’s not white. THESE ARE BIG FACTORS IN TAYLOR SWIFT’S SUCCESS (well it makes it a little easier doesn’t it?).

Emmy The Great’s narrative throughout the album First Love has 1:1 replica tracks to my life, same as Taylor Swift does. However, I can trust Emmy a lot more, because I know she has lived these stories and I KNOW she has written them, and you can tell the difference between someone who has written a song on their own, and someone who has compensated to write as a duo or trio, or whatever Taylor does these days.

Emmy uses a lot of words in her music, and they all fit so beautifully within the melodies she also creates. She paints a picture with her story telling I haven’t seen the likes of since Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.

Taylor also always uses a lot of words, but sometimes they can come off as a bit clunky within her melodies. Never her pop tracks, Jack Antonoff seems to polish those off very well. However, the folk songs Taylor has done with Desner, could have been better worded within the melodies, but that’s the price of not writing a whole song yourself, it’s obviously not going to sound as organic.

I love the track I hate it here, but there are some moments within the narrative that could have been replaced with more meaningful ideas, concepts or metaphors…….but hey, CE’ la vie!

Taylor Swift, should watch this podcast and watch the two live tracks I’ve included of Emmy’s, and one music video. The last track is called The Hypnotist’s Son (which again is a fucking 1:1 replica for a life situation in my past…….JUST THE TITLE), it is such a beautiful, humorous (very Emmy style), provocative, intelligent yet not intimidating, but more relatable and vulnerable track with a really beautiful folk melody. It doesn’t have a boring folk melody, which is possible with folk more than not.

It’s only the truly talented who can make folk their own, because there are only so many places you can take folk music. Emmy makes it her own.

She devours it and unashamedly stands in the streets of New York at 2am and starts singing a song reminiscing about her and her ex-boyfriend having sex in a park, in which she sings that he said to her once, “i’ll stop it if it’s scaring……..you know that I can stop this anytime, if you think that it is tearing.”

…..but Daddy I Love Him

___________________________________________________________________

A CRY FOR HELP IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BUT THATS KINDA HER FAULT…

Taylor don’t cry you are doing great and I love your narrative, why do we all relate to it so much? You either “Relate to it or Hate to it”……ha. My new Taylor Swift tagline idea. And hate can be better than love when it comes to attention, and attention equals money……..makes sense.

But oh fuck! This blog was going to be an answer to Taylor Swift’s cry for help on the new album TTPD to not criticise her anymore and in the title what do I do? What’s wrong with me?

(Im not writing the whole album name ever again, or I’ll just write “torture.” That’s better than TTPD, Imagine Taylor just had “TORTURE” written on all of her merch. Dope. Very Slayer.

I know of about five metal dudes who don’t know each other, that love Taylor, it’s a thing.

One metal guy said he liked her, so I tested him and asked his favourite song, and he says without a moment’s pause “OUT OF THE WOODS.” Lol.

And that is not a generally known Swift track, it’s very old now and this was only last year.

“TORTURE” OR “TORTURE TAYLOR SWIFT,” and on the back it says “NOTHING MAKES HER FEEL MORE ALIVE”…….like from that song on torture….. Or just a play on those lyrics, like - -

“THIS SHIRT IS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TAYLOR SWIFT DEAD.” And the back says:

“THANK YOU.

NOTHING WOULD MAKE HER FEEL MORE ALIVE.”

I know she wants to get that provocative, but she wants to reach this icon status more. Even though she has a PR team of Katy Perry’s dreams. It comes down to her in the end, she has to execute the knowledge they feed her and so anyway, that will be a criticism I shall tend to….)

This cry for help was met with a criticism straight away….my favourite criticism and the most popular at the moment, “31 songs! That is too many songs.”

……what?

How is that something to criticise her for? Criticise the fact that she plays the victim with kind of everyone she has a conflict with besides maybe the females, which she chooses to play the Karen, which is just as bad, however it can be fun…..fun if you are 16 and at high school……hmmm.

She has chosen once again to play the victim entirely with Healy, excluding The Bolter which she doesn’t say she did with Healy, but it is about herself and is confusing because she says that’s what he did to her, but then says she does that so if that’s the truth then bitch, you can’t blame someone else for doing it, and there should be no questions as to why he did it, because you do it so you should know why too…….phew…….but it’s all just soooo High School (WHICH is half of the album......And it’s great tbh ha).

“TORTURE MATTY HEALY”

….that’s another merch idea.

That is a version of Taylor performing a track about Matty Healy live in Paris a few days ago. She ends up on the ground, playing dead, after a dramatic performance of the TTPD song. She is very passionate in it. Its brilliant. Watch the whole set theres some good videos of it up now.

Or another t-shirt idea….“I PLAYED A 1975 ALBUM TO TORTURE SOMEONE LAST NIGHT.” on the back… “Danica Conwell specifically”….

Yeah I’m not down with that “type” of band. If you know what I mean then you know what I mean.

I love the band First Aid Kit, and I would say they are that “type” of band…..but they did an amazing random tribute to Leonard Cohen and killed it! So, that took them to a new status in my eyes.

In any case, I get the feeling Taylor wants to just play the victim in this narrative again. However, I do hear her knowing the answers as to why Healy “ghosted” her, I think she even literally answers it somewhere in there. So why is she begging for an answer to move on?

I don’t think I would ever ask someone why they ghosted me, I think it’s one of those things that happens because someone wants out, but doesn’t want to face you and say it because they are cowards. I’ve ghosted, I’ve been ghosted (however I tended to ghost first, before they could to me…….except once in which I decided to use luxury grade manipulation tactics to prevent the person from ever leaving (however, I get a lot of bad karma for that one….still, and I did this many many many years ago…….don’t do it).

DAMMIT! Ive ran out of time, so I can’t get to my point, but this is to be continued. I’m going to find and address every Taylor Swift criticism, besides any related to Kanye West because she was in the wrong there and why she is dissing Kim and not…….someone else who she didn’t start the fight with hahaha….is beyond me. Kim was just standing by her husband, obviously. That’s how a healthy relationship works, TAYLOR. In saying that, Im pretty sure it will come out soon that Kim is apart of this Diddy disaster and Kanye has been hinting at it and well…….maybe Taylor knows something too. It’s weird timing…..or is it?

Quickly concluding, most disses I hear about Swift are so ridiculous, I’m going to address them and I don’t really see “Swifies” coming to her defence…….so here I GO……AND this is because, on Torture she is yelling at her fans to stop! To just be nice, and shut up for once. But, after the 31 song criticism, I don’t think it was heard………so I shall digress.

To be cont…

THIS GUY NEXT ME DOING KARAOKE

QUICK WITH A JOKIE

BIT DISTURBING, HES A BIT DISTURBED

no one. will write rap battle me. WILL YOU?

AN ARAB WHO DREAMS OF A AMUSEMENT PARK NAMED ARAB WORLD

INTRODUCTION TO “THE DISS OFF” DRAKE VS..….EVERYONE THAT MATTERS IN HIP HOP. eeek.

It’s been a pile on Drake lately since Diddy has been arrested for CRAZY allegations which all started with some nobody kid coming forward to admit he killed TuPac (which I thought was suspicious straight away).

I should have a section just for hip hop sorry maybe I will with Foxy/Moron hosting instead. Well if her rap she wrote below is anything to go by, it will be a sure hit. I do blog about hip hop alot also. New hip hop though, why would I podcast about old hip hop? But I have to admit, old hip hop seemed alot more exciting, but maybe this is why Kendrick Lamar is doing this, he is just trying to shake things up. Drake mentioning Kendrick’s molestation has confirmed this is not a hoax or publicity stunt.

That seems a little full on Drakey, followed by Drake’s (basically) death threat at the end……. well.

Is Drake really a predator or is he just a powerful Freemason who could literally GET AWAY with murder? Which is probably the scariest type of predator to piss off. I’ve been/still could be in a similar situation. I know my limits though…….i think. Id hate to die in the hands of a Freemason, that’s not the message i wan to end with! They would probably sucicide me which would be soooooo done. CIA already do it, at least make it interesting like Sylvia Plath PLEASE. AMIRIGHT?

,,,,,In breaking news yesterday, Kendrick Lamar hit back at Drake only 24 hours after Drake dropped his diss. Drake took about 2-3 weeks I believe. This tells me Kendrick is all over this and wanted to make Drake look a fool taking so long to hit back…….Kendrick has it right though its a hip hip real time fight, get in there and stand up for yoursel ASAP. Drake is a top hip hop artist of our time, he should be able to write out quality lyrics within 24 hours, that’s not much to ask of him.

Well, this quick reply both shocking and funny, what a perfect reaction to Drake taking ages to reply, drop a reply less than 24 hours later. Perfect. I have to say Kendrick, let’s hope this don’t get physical and stays within the confines of YouTube.

Let’s get to the important part, my thoughts in rhyme lol….. I drafted half of it once. It’s supposed to be………not overly serious however my opinions in it are! Here go this will be a life changer so watch out!……….START.

HIP HOP IS BACK! AND DRAKE IS BEING A NICE PERSON STILL WHICH IS COOL I GUESS……….(I DO MISS SUGE) BUT! IT’S A GANGSTER GANG UP ON DRIZZY DRAKE AUBREY IT SEEMS.

So what makes Drake so lucky? (and does it involve Puffy?) 

BY DJ///FOXY 

/ / / / M ORON <3

This only the intro, im just warming up but check it, just hear me out slowly first THIS ONLY FOREPLAY…… its like this yo….

Drake first in first place, hip hop is an arms race in the first place. Being next to wheezy, giving him the cred, but Drake often under pressure, pressure pushing down on him.  

_____

Nothing compared, to album Take Care, Drake had them either running to him or running away. Runnin. Runnin.’ Out of no where. Drizzy had them all running scared.

______

This ain’t no page six story, night of the living dead yes shit get gory. (Got that runnin. runnin.), running to first place again, blood, sweat and tears, I told you it got gory, but this making hip hop history, ladies on side and in front, Minage and rhi rhi alike, drake looking like a stallion, with that golden medallion. He living so proud now, he so WOW now, like first hir by Lil bow wow (yippe yo yippe yay).

Drake with the groupies DISTARCTED by the honey, ‘cause he getting all drunk on all of his money, Poww-ERR and then glory, did I mention it gonna get gory, oh I DID well wait, drake’s energy not from cal-oor-ees, they from the bank accounts he’s storing, not in the customer lines, not that customer vibe, Drizzy here now no waiting, because he got so much money accumulating.

This the intro the dress rehearsal, but when you drunk like drizzy, it aint from vodka its from universal.

See I’m Foxy/Moron! Anaconda not black swan, I loved Sean John, didn’t have a clue, when I heard the bad news, i screamed “say it isn’t true!”, but sadly I think its looking pretty blue. Pretty sad about the news, pretty up, pretty down, pretty mariah over there, shes pretty like a pretty nightmare. If you let her black widow your son, she widows the white men, because she ain’t dumb.

Love is old news, love hardly comes. Don’t say you love me, don’t say im the one. Stop throwing that love away, making it cheaper you are no fun, only love when you love and DRAKE accused of loving his mum, but more than that sounds like he loving the money, the money now number one.

Hotline bling done, drake sung it like the vicitim, but wheres the money from? He’s been getting a lot and a lot of disaposable income.

One thing ill say, im straight and not gay, but im more than a woman, Im more neurotic each day,  X O So addictive, XO got you restricted for the next 5 minutes or so while we race through this arms race in this hip hop episode. Always neurotic I said, yeah yeah I just worry……..Kanye worries too, that drake will out headline him in the headline news. But come on that wont come true. Yeezu got this, yeezy in front, when yeezy makes beats, smokes drake like a blunt.

Oh no don’t try and save me, bitch, you in a hurry? No NO, cant enslave me, next time you look around im heading underground back down in the cave so don’t cave in, but ex boyfiend has that last name, couldn’t handle the fame, no one to blame……….not publicly anyway.

LIKE I’m on my worst behave (iour). Motherfuckers never loved me, motherfuckers never sorry, motherfuckers in a hurry, but im slow no where to be, so here’s the deal laying it out striaght, with Drake, Kendrick and god yeezys yeezy and this Drake gang up’s fate…

So you ready? Ok let’s go go, runnin runnin to the facts, the facts that Drake claims he has.

So ok enough of this CHILDS PLAY. Listen to what I got to ACTUALLY say.

y’all ready? or not….Well, ready or not, let’s count down…

Jackpot! You want that money shot all the time, well a lot, its better than blowing out and waking up with a mug shot…..

It begins with Kendrick Lamar hanging up the back when he was young, not a hip hop all star, but at 16 mrurdering doing crime, he was doing it to stay alive.

At 17 in the trap, trapping fools who don’t pay for crack. He may be quiet, look not so bad, but don’t be fooled, watch him cut them down, watch his battle rap, Lamar ain’t no joke made drake his in-joke. Now drake all alone. Hot Bling Line, with no one to phone. 

Got the industry in his lap, rub their hands ready for next pawn to play, but Kendrick will just yawn, and go his own way. wish drake would do the same.

I like Kendrick better when he not about only that chill soul path, like him in those dark corners and from behind cars in dark streets, rapping about his daddy, better than Nas. I asked my friend from Melton, “is Lamar really hood?” I pose this to Tony xmas hes my friend, he replies that he thinks this kid Kendrick would be on par, after seeing the music video for seminal track nosT-tal-jahh. (Nostalgia - Pusha T feat. Kendrick Lamar). 

Rapping ‘bout his daddy’s crack, he’s now a business man, and he featuring on that Taylor Swift Bad Blood track. He plays the game, he were the business at. ASAP Rocky was with Lana’s National Anthem in silence, while Lamar stole Taylor’s song away with his killah verse on track, kinda like Ye, but in a positive way, didn’t look insane, and he got paid. 

He didn’t even show his face, just laid down the track sent it via web, no sweat and no eff-ett, but equalling maximum effects, and always those prof-its. Yeah yeah, only gains, why didn’t drake ever do the same?

So who’s to blame? The price of fame? Hip hop was looking tame, anyway, not sure if Drake’s diss track, will even make a splash, because it was a bit lame, nothing new in there, nothing was the same….. wait no not nothing, EVERYTHING in it dull and nothing had really changed. 

If you’re reading this Drake, man it’s been way too late, that diss was overdue, needed an earlier date. I mean, aren’t you a jew? Aren’t they supposed to have higher IQ’s? (I’m only playin’ dude, imma watered down Whitney 4 you and opposite to Future, singing I will always like you and I don’t think you a loser (liar, I hope)). 

I playing drizzy, I have alot of love for you Drake, you know that it’s true, I’ll never not be down, but less ride and die, ill just swim laps for you, in that pool out in the back, on google maps. But riddle me this and riddle me that, Drizzy Drake, why all my icons writing disses making you look a fool? Why they saying they still don’t trust you? 

Like when a you friends with a couple and they end up on a break, you know you have to decide who you drop and who you take…….well, I never seen Future live, between him and Drake live, he probably would lose. I say this because seeing Drake live, was one of my best times, it was like “he’s all that,” that and more, I pay him much respect. But wait on that thought, hold that…….Now, when it comes to Ye, I trust him like a brother ok? And I know that sounds weird, I know he my brother though, and know him better than my compulsive lying mother, without that neg-ah—tive GEARRR———Ring ring ring ring!! Hold my phone! And my drank. Are you all alone now? There doesn’t seem to be anyone at home. Tiffany used to be hot, but look at her now, being alone makes you angry and makes you gain those 50 pounds. 

I don’t know Ye full stop, but I still will trust him. soz just do. Ye takes the red pill, while Drake raps he took the blue. We all logged out Drake, what you still doing in there, slaving about? 

I’ll always ride for Yeezy ye Yeezus, I’ll never runaway, FML and (straight) back to me, back to him every time, hell! Even if Yeezy dissed me, I’d probably still be on his side! 

Everybody!!! BACKSTREET BOY, THEY HAVE SET OUT TO DEPLOY, omg Kanye WEST is back again, got no brothers or sisters but got all the bulk of hip hop with him ready to defend. Like Kendrick Lamar has chosen too, we knowing we riding for that Kanye, WEST-SIDE! So good he made me cry, he my mentor my guide, teaches me how to collide, When those vultures attack, toxic & poison. He down like Death Row, authentic, original, awesome and i heard still carried guns. (“you all laugh bcause we still got GUNS IN OUR MOTHERFUCKING BELTS” - Tu Pac Hit em up).

I don’t know Drake, was that even a diss? The disses were better, when Suge Knight ran this. Way back in 1996, please someone throw me a hit, has hip hop gone soft? I’d hate to see keyboard cat play hip hop off.

Who’s fucking who’s bitch in the click they claim? I heard drake fucked Kris Jenner, but please return that information to sender. Too much info that’s so gross, send it back to drake on google maps you can find his address, do not choose standard, please send express post. 

Drake upset, but shhh back to Ye, the only one that I trust, and yeah I said you godly drake, but there’s only one gen-ee-us, and one number one, and that’s Ye motherfucker so I guess that’s where I pull up! Ye will always come out the alpha so give up, and if anyone step out of line, you know his mouth is gonna run (runnin runnin). ‘Cause justice matters to Ye, not white lives, or that B.L.Ms. Ye will take care, before he condemns. 

I mean he remixed a diss written about Drake in 2010. Well not that long ago, but we grew old before this reply, had to wait a while, hate to see Drake go like N’sync, like that, bye bye bye. 

Drake I wish you hit back more aggressive than that, but I know I know, that’s just not his style. 

I don’t like this gang up drake, don’t like it at all, haven’t seen anything like it for a while in the rap game or in basketball (fuck the NBA). I hope he sets things straight soon, stops dissing so poor and start doing right again by them all……….soon ok? 

MAKE PEACE DRAKE YOU KNOW YOU IN THE WRONG, HOPE NOT LIKE SEAN JOHN, BUT WHEN FUTURE HAS FLIPPED ON YOU, THATS THE SIGN DRAKE WE KNOWWW YOU FUCKED UP. DON’T KNOW DOING WHAT. BUT SET IT RIGHT DRAKE, don’t get IT all Deranged (and please don’t choose Lucian Grainge). 

WE CAN’T COME TO THE PHONE NOW. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE ___________________________________++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +. +. +. + + +

MOURNING MELBOURNE, BECAUSE I HATE IT HERE

So, here we go again, the voices were in his head, telling him I’m not to be trusted, omg. He was the sickest (most “dangerous”) army doll, secretly living at some run down St Kilda house, ending my days walking a straight line.

Turned up at my door, he was young and he was tall and walking through my ha…
