Favorite Anime Analysis
The Moral Conflict of Justice - Replay Value


Replay Value is an AniTube channel that I've been watching for about half a year now and I wanted to share one of his videos that I really enjoyed this month. I also haven't been able to show my love for the show Psycho-Pass and this really goes into how Episode 3 digs deep into the theme of thin line of justice and morality. This is a cool channel showing us how great a show I love is, so why not share it you all!

Favorite Music Discussion
Is Drake the Biggest Hip-Hop Artist Ever? - DeadEndHipHop


Anyone who's seen my Drake reviews knows my feelings about him and his music. With the re-release of So Far Gone, it inspired DeadEndHipHop to discuss it after 10 years and whether Drake has become the biggest rapper ever. Many points were brought to the table for both perspectives of yes and no. After watching the video, maybe we can discuss what you think in the comments. I certainly could say that he could be the biggest, despite my opinion that he's often a hit or miss artist. Let's talk about it!

Favorite Live Performance
Squirrels - Wax


This is why I love Wax. He's soooo talented and makes stellar music, but sometimes uses it to be absolutely ridiculous. I won't spoil anything about the video, just know that I'm looking forward to when all the Acoustic Sessions get compiled to buy. Support your favorite artists!!!

Favorite Video Game Analysis
Kingdom Hearts 3 Review - BestGuyEver


I subscribed to BestGuyEver, after I endured his huge lecture on all of Kingdom Hearts before KH3's release. His personality and presentation is quite amusing and his takes usually differ than most others. Therefore, I was really curious to know his opinion of the latest Kingdom Hearts game, especially being a fan of the franchise myself. If you're interested at all in the game, then this should be a fun watch.

Favorite Dance Video
Demonstrate by JoJo - Brian Puspos


This is a combination of two of my favorite artists to follow. Brian has been a choreographer that I always anticipated his R&B routines, including his own songs. Yet, JoJo is another singer who I've been a fanatic of ever since her mixtape tapes in her adulthood. Demonstrate was one of those singles that was created within that time period, yet the label situation stifled its exposure. The recent re-release of her older material changed that, though, and Brian took advantage of that to make some dang good sexy choreo. I highly suggest keeping an eye both artists from the songs to the dances.

BlipMasta5's February 2019 Favorites

Favorite Rap Song
YouTube Rapper - Token feat. Tech N9ne


Token has been an emcee that I check in on periodically. This was one time that I was glad to pop in. The collaboration with Tech N9ne has them trading a series of technical prowess and speedy delivery. I definitely got a kick out of the song as well as their lip syncing in the tour bus a while having a blast. If you dig that type of hip hop, this should be on your radar!

Favorite Choreography
Billie Eilish's Bury a Friend - Galen Hooks


She's done it again! Galen continues to amaze me with the way she can adapt to any style of music and the different interpretations from her students are spectacular too. The song itself had me intrigued as Billie is an artist I'm watching curiously as she matures. The great production of this track had me excited to see the approach Mrs. Hooks would take and she did not disappoint. Give it a watch, won't you?

Favorite Live Performance
Make Me Feel - Janelle Monae at the Grammys


I already love the song, the album, the artist, & the woman. I appreciate that she's slowly getting more attention from the industry higher ups, since she should already be held in high regard. With Dirty Computer's nomination, I was looking forward to the inevitable Grammy performance and Django Jane didn't let me down. She had a strong presence with this very Prince-esque single and mixed in a few of the other singles, as well. Truly a musician for the ages and this is the proof!

Favorite Music Video
Stripped Bare - Alyson Stoner


Alyson Stoner is certainly a child star that blossomed beautifully. Yet like many who came before her, that experience hasn't always been the best. This song and video really captures the struggles with being a young bread winner for the family and thrust into the limelight for the world to see. You can truly hear and seeing how freeing it was to release these chains from her past to move on to a future on her own terms. She's much more than Camp Rock and Missy Elliot videos, so she's ready to prove it to the world whether they care or not.
