I was watching MTV just now and still :P And I realized most of the songs played were Hip Hop / R&B. Well, I can't deny these 2 genres are charts' toppers and "salable" nowadays. Youngsters luv it, clubs play it. It's just everywhere; on air, in the car, cafe even mamaks' stalls!! Even in my college, the college radio station, WingFM plays mostly Hip Hop / R&B songs. So, I come out with my own verdict about this: The Hottest in Hip Hop / R&B.
Some of those who didn't make to the top 5 are:
DMX The animal part of the charisma of a boy... Man from the ghetto is always attractive. But it might be a bit frightening to wake up to.
2Pac Hard not to have a romantic interest in the revolutionary 2Pac. Unfortunately he is dead.
NAS Had it not been for his 'baby face' look NAS would have been in the top 3, but baby face is just not the thing when ya want to be sexy.
LL Cool J Hmm... Maybe he's in, if I was writing this prediction 20 years ago but today it is out of the question. And why does he has to show his stomach all the time??
Jay-Z If ya are not into muscles or a nice smile, then Jay-Z is ur man. I want both of the before mentioned things and drop Jay-Z from the list, although with some doubt :P
Nelly I'm sorry to say but Nelly is a girl's name!! It doesn't even sound like a unisex name. A lil odd choice that one, but as long as people keep on calling themselves Puff Daddy (gay dad) then I guess a girly name is as good as any. We can manage well without Nelly, even though he has been eagerly training his biceps, ahaa...
Eminem Sourpuss Eminem has his good sides. Actually he has git a lil bit of the sweet and the rough. Sadly though there has been a lot of teenage whining with Eminem, actually it has only worse as the years have passed.
Akon Hoohoo... Does Akon sounds like Hip Hop or R&B?? Think again buddy. He is actually a mellow singing guy who got stuck in the middle of this genre err... Like a parasit I say, it's very useful to borrow a good environment to stay alive, in this industry especially. But if it is said to be another genre's prediction, he is most probably in. How about "Senegallow"??
50 Cent "The Meatball"!! 50 Cent is probably food for some girls. Err... Me?? Thank ya but I choose something else to enjoy for dinner. Well for some poser dudes (sorry) he is a real hero, get shot, stayed behind the bars but never die. My sounds-not-so-polite opinion, he chose the right name for his music; we don't even have to put a price tag on his CD cuz it's already there!! Oops... No offense :P
Usher Hmm... I'm not sure about this but he's acting is just as lame as the lamest superhero. Well Usher is an elegant and great guy, will give him that. However, he is not very attractive. Also he has topped enough lists lately (not really...)
Bow Wow, Chris Brown and stuffs... Ahaa... These kids are growing up. Til they get outta their diapers, I can't offer them a place. Sorry kids :P
And, here we go... the top 5 in Joey's Verdict Award: The Hottest in Hip Hop / R&B are...
#5 Kanye West Boy next door turned world star. He reads what "originality" means in dictionary.
#4 John Legend His dad didn't argue when he changed his surname, Stephens cuz "Legend" is actually the right word to put there. It was just that his dad's dad didn't give the name back then. John Legend... John Stephens... I think John Legend sounds nicer!!
#3 Mike Shinoda (Fort Minor) It is better to write what he can't do than what he can do. This guy here possessed everything a world possess.
#2 Pharrell There is a reason why busloads of women are showing up at his estate every day. Err... I think I just mentioned why.
#1 Justin Timberlake Talented and simply gorgeous. But... He has dated Britney!! Don't worry Timberlake, it doesn't affect ur position at all.
Did I forgotten someone?? Write their name in the comment and I'll write them a verdict!! This verdict result may vary (for some times), so, list down ur fav Hip Hop / R&B artist now. Who knows, he might be in the top 5 list.
