What Did You Mean? - Bmixx

 They say you never forget your first. And after tonight, I know that cliche is actually true. Because tonight is the night I dive headfirst into the world of hiphop. Before even listening to the song, I have to give Bmixx some credit. I don't know if he knows this about me, but hiphop is among my least favorite musical genres. In fact, I never listen to it. So the fact that he ignored this fact and requested a review anyway is very brave. So kudos to you, sir.

The track features a solid beat, which even I know is crucial in any hiphop song. And what's more is the pacing of the lines matches up with the beat quite nicely. He doesn't slack or trip on any of his words, and he's able to create a consistent sound throughout the piece, while also keeping it interesting when he breaks things up with the choruses here and there.

As a hiphop song, I must say that I didn't hate it. And I know that might not sound like much of a compliment, but if you know me and my opinion at all, you would see that it actually is a pretty big compliment. I listened to it three times before I even started writing this, and usually I can't even sit through a single listen of any hiphop or rap song. (Except maybe for old Eminem stuff, cause who didn't have an Eminem phase?)

The big thing that stands out, for me, is the lyrics and the message behind the track. Maybe the lines start out a little lazy in the beginning, when he rhymes villain with villain, but he certainly picks up from there. And the shining star of the track isn't in the complexity of the lyrics, but the relatability of them. He fell for the wrong girl, and he's left feeling like a shell of a man because of it. Who hasn't been there before?

So if you're looking for some hiphop, and you're someone who has ever felt anything, check out Bmixx sometime. He gets it. Cause like the rest of us, he's been there. And he's not afraid to talk about it.
