Before Daylights Savings Time Destruction of Glitter would like to seize the opportunity to review three albums that were recently released. Below albums are currently available at  participating retailers worldwide, ITunes, and Google Music.

Tyga

Careless World: Rise of The Last King

February 21, 2012

No matter if you are at King of Diamonds or Magic City or any night club, it’s inventible that you will hear “Rack City”. The lengthy album has appearances by: Pharrell, Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, T-pain, Chris Richardson, Robin Thicke, Wale, Nas, J. Cole, and Marsha Ambrosius.  Tyga, revealed a more sophisticated side on “Black Crowns” (a personal favorite) with lyrics like “…heavenly farther, appoint me to the coronation I deserve it, brought music for clarification, Envision my past, Egypt reincarnated…”. Best-Bet Picks are: ”Black Crowns”, “Faded”, “Rack City”, ”Muthafu(ka Up”, and “Let It Show”.

Estelle
All of Me

February 28, 2012

This album in my opinion is TOP SHELF compared to others in the Rhythm and Blues genre. Cockiness (take track “The Life”) is portrayed as confidence and sultry (“Back to Love”) is heard as a all-night-baby-maker-track.  Estelle, teamed up with Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, and Janelle Monae on her third studio album. Best-Bet Picks: ”The Life”, “International (Serious)”, “Break My Heart”, ”Thank You”, and “Back to Love”.

Skylar Grey

The Buried Sessions

January 17, 2012

Not familiar with her? I strongly suggest you Google this amazing singer. Though the EP has 3 tracks: “Coming Home”, “Words I Never Said”, and “Love The Way You Lie” they are the 2011 remarkable Top 100 Billboard Hits that you have had to heard unless your deaf to never have discovered them. Her remarkable voice can’t be mistaken for anyone else but herself. This album is short and sweet!

In April Destruction of Glitter will post Album Review's for the following Albums (and more):

1. The MF Life - Melanie Fiona
2. Kids In The Street - The All-American Rejects
3. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - Nicki Minaj

Christopher Wallace

Fifteen years ago we lost the King of Brooklyn Christopher Wallace best known as Biggie! He put Brooklyn on his back took the rap game, and made it his own. He had rappers and fans bowing down to his style of rugged, grittiest lyrics, and told amazing stories. I fell in love with Biggie just like everyone at the time. You could not hit a party or club that was not jamming this amazing rapper. There has never been a rapper to fill the spot he left behind when he died an era he helped craft has never been the same. I will always love Big Papa!

Desert Flower “Female Genitalia Mutilation”

Waris Dirie

Late night television found me watching the movie Desert Flower the life story of Waris Dirie’s, who was mutilated between the ages of three - five, married at 13, her escape, rise as a super model and her coming out story of genital mutilation. The most compelling and heart wrenching part for me was her telling the story of her mutilation at three years old. It was an amazing scene of desert rock, an old blade that was unfold from and old piece of cloth, the pulling apart of her legs, the crying of a child, bloody hands of the woman who did the procedure and final the thorns she pulled off the branch to close up the vagina once she removed the labia’s.

The crying is what got to me of a child full of fright, pain and not understanding what was being done. As a mother and a woman I just do not understand the practice. To me it seems a crazy idea of keeping women not only virgins, pure but controlling there sexuality. I just do not understand why sexuality is such a huge part of society that always shines a light on women in a negative way.

Desert Flower is a beautiful movie that tells an excellent story of a woman who blossomed beautiful under hard circumstances. Llya Kebede brings the portrayal of Waris Dirie’s to life along with the supporting cast. This movie shines a light on a topic that is spoken on very little. If you ever get a chance to watch this movie please do! To learn more about the subject review Waris Dirie’s website:http://www.desertflowerfoundation.org/en/
