2times2sday-FAME

This 2times2sday comes in the form of movies and shows. Most people know this, but if not, I'm just putting it out there that this "new" movie entitled "Fame" coming out on September 25 of this year has indeed been done before. First there was a movie in 1980 and then a show based on the movie also entitled "Fame" came out in 1982. So does that make this a 3times2sday?? Idk but i do know, this is a deep case of remake. =/
...Come on now...

2times2sday(the 2timesThursday Edition) lol

Okay Okay So im 2 days late...sue me lol. So this weeks 2timesThursday post is another music edition. Here we have Ms. Melanie Fiona with her first single "Give it To Me Right" The song is good and rather catchy if you ask me, but everytime i heard this song i felt like "man, ive heard this beat SOMEWHERE before" but i could never put my finger on it. WELL my brain has unspazzed and duh...it came from "Time of the Season" by one of the most infamous rock groups in history, The Zombies. Yeah if you feel that "oh man, thats so obvious" feeling after listening to both, you are not alone lol.

2times2sday..THROWBACK!!

Now...we all remember the sane B. Spears from "back in the day" and if you knew anything about her, you knew this song if not you had definitely heard it before. "Slave 4 U" is one of her most famous songs, but what some people don't know is, this beat was sampled from a female group of the 80s, Vanity 6. The sample comes from their song "Nasty Girl*." Take a listen to "Slave 4 U" and then go and listen to "Nasty Girl" either way, it doesn't matter but you will definitely see a similarity in the beat. And don't think it stops there, there is some major homage being paid to Vanity 6. You can listen to "Glamour Girl" by Electrik red and then listen to "Make-Up*" by Vanity 6 and you will hear the similarities in the beats and later on in the lyrics.

Vanity 6-"Blush, eyeliner, hush see what you made me do? Face, Mascara, Erase i wanna look good for you"
Electrik Red-"Make-Up, make-up, lip-stick, mascara, i wanna look good for you"



Its everywhere! Things are being used from the past and its everywhere, but would we ever know if we never go back and pay homage to the originals?

*Due to certain copyright circumstances the songs by Vanity 6 were not able to be obtained on the Internet through youtube or host/mp3 sites.

2times2sday-Haircuts???

Now interestingly enough, this weeks 2times2sday post consists of a...trend in haircuts if you will. the interesting part about it is that it hasnt even been a few months since Cassie first shaved the side of her head, then came Rihanna, and now LaLa and Carmen Electra. This is being done how many times now, i am interested to see who else will make the bold move of shaving off the side of their head. Cassie started it, and now there is some definite biting going on. Hmm...not to mention that the shaving and short haircuts was very much alive in the 80s...

2times2sday

Okay now as you know the BET awards were on Sunday night, and although the night was filled with many Michael Jackson t-shirts and outfits, one person who stood out to me as he got on stage was...the infamous Lil' Wayne. Now as soon as he hit the stage i saw Timberland Boots!! Or some may know them as "Tims/Timbs". A friend and i discussed this because this was a deep fashion statement of the 90's and somewhat died off with the emergence and obsession with "Kicks", and with Lil' Wayne wearing them, I'm curious as to see who will be wearing them next...hmm..

2times2sday-- Religious Jewelry

Hello everybody in .com land! Today is the first....2times2sday post!

2times2sday is a weekly post(on Tuesday duh lol) that is dedicated to everything being done over again. What i mean by this is that as most people know, many of the movies, music, and fashion that are so called "coming out" now, have been done by the generations before us. So every Tuesday i will blog about something that is making a come back or being used again. For example, RayBan shades(alive in the 50s and 60s, recently made a come back in 2008/09). But it doesn't just involve fashion i might post about a new song that has come out that sampled a song from way back when, and the same goes for movies, or anything else that is resurfacing. This weeks edition is about the religious jewelry. Fashion icons like Madonna and others wore different kinds of religious jewelry and besides the Cross, most of it fashionably died. Welllll, its back again, a number of entertainers have been seen wearing rosaries! Wow.

Before you start thinking you are the first to do something, make sure you check with the years before us first because 9 times out of 10, its already been done...
