I'd Rather Be Hellen Keller

Members of 3oh!3

Today I'm feeling a little negative, so in the spirit of negativity, here is my first negative review!! Remember the days when people kept their style and "main stream" wasn't even in thought? Those days were great. Unfortunately we are long past those days, and groups/bands that we once loved, lost track of who they were and decided to put out crap. Music once filled with originality is now filled with collaborations and just sounds like everything else out there. One such group has stood out to me for the sheer fact they were crazy, different and amazing all at the same time. From Boulder, Colorado, these two guys really were doing something well for them selves. Coming out with their first album, which was self titled, they brought an original spin on hip hop. Having such hits as, Holler Till You Pass Out, and Choke Chain, in the underground, this group 3Oh!3 really was making a good name for themselves.

Second Album By 3oh!3

Reason it took me so long to say their name is because of what has become of them. With their second album, "Want", they started coming into existence with the radio. With the song Don't Trust Me, they started getting some mainstream radio play. Slowly becoming bigger throughout the music industry. With this follow up album they put out such hits as Rich Man, and Starstrukk. With Starstrukk being redone with Katy Perry, came the downfall of 3oh!3. After that their was no escaping the inevitable. 

Third Album by 3oh!3

Their third album "Streets of Gold" was a disaster, to the loyal fans from the start. Such songs as "My First Kiss ft. Ke$ha" and "House Party" really showed that they were reaching to the audiences that like such crap as "Ay Bay Bay". And no I won't put a link to that song because it is complete garbage. As the title of this article says, "I'd rather be Hellen Keller", referring  to the song Don't Trust Me, and the fact that I'd rather be deaf and blind than listen to their mainstream pop shit or see what's become of them. Now I'm sure you've all heard  the song "Hey ft. Lil Jon", that is another song that disappoints me beyond belief. It was recently announced that their new album will be called Robot. We can only hope that it isn't like Streets of Gold.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I've decided every Tuesday will be negativity day! Next week will feature Linkin Park....I think..........
Till next time, this is Mikey B, Stay true to your Style or you won't last awhile!
