Hey, I'm Charlie Bartlett and this is my blog about teen movies, music, videos, personal rants. Feel free to make a request or ask advice and dont forget to register!
I got this requested a LOOONG time ago (sorry KillaB) and I’m just now getting to it. 8 Mile came out in 2002 and became the number one movie in America. At the same time Eminem had the number one hit song (Lose Yourself) and the number one album too. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think anyone had ever done that before.

I saw this video the other day and I was like DAAAAAAMN this girl is awesome! I don’t usually like “myspace sluts”, but this song goes HARD and the video is super-sexy. “I Love U” sounds like a cross between a Lil Jon song and what Britney Spears SHOULD sing if she didn’t give a fuck. You can watch the video above and download the song below.
I can’t believe this album is 10 years old! It used to be the SHIT back in grade school. I remember seeing the Bawitdaba video constantly playing on MTV. It’s a shame that when you mention Kid Rock people only know that one song from him because there are so many good songs on this album like “Cowboy” and “Devil Without A Cause” that sound great when you’re in the car. Yeah, I’m atheist, but my favorite track on the album has to be “Only God Knows Why;” it’s probably the best song made with Auto-Tune ever!

This used to be the “Lolipop” of the 90’s aka an “Oral Sex anthem.” Although, the lyrics were a lot more obvious and nasty. Big Boi from Outkast is on this song too.
If you wanna laugh, watch the video of two idiots dancing to this song below, it’s pretty funny.
I don’t usually share new movies, but for this one I’m making an exception. It has to be one of the best romance movies I’ve seen in a while (and trust me, I HATE 99% of cheesy romance movies). Basically, the plot centers around this kid that deals weed out of an ice cream cart and to people at his high school. But, unlike in cliche hollywood movies, this kid is NOT cool. He has the hardest time getting girls (and even friends for that matter) yet he has a mission to get laid over the summer.
Basically guys, if you ever were/are a so called “friendless loser with no girlfriend” you can relate to this movie. Hell, since I was obsessed with playing video games and listening to music on my big ass headphones in 9th grade he kinda reminds me of myself. The best part is that it’s set in 1994 so they have references to Biggie and Kurt Cobain. The entire soundtrack is old-school hip hop.
I actually knew about this song in 2007 waaay before it was in those Pineapple Express commercials (it inspired me to sneak out and spray paint at 3 am lol). I remember playing it at school and one of my friends was like, “Omg, turn that shit off!” And now a year later she claims it’s her favorite song (talk about following the crowd). This is probably the only song I like by M.I.A.
Oh, and if you didn’t know the meaning of the song it’s about a girl dealing drugs. If you know anything about dealers they use pre-paid cell phones (Burners). Hell, I was gonna get one when I was offered to deal back in high school<--something I don't recommend doing.
[EDIT: Oh shit fucky! I just realized aimini.net changed their rules so that you have to be registered to download songs. Oh well, u can still listen below.]
It’s kinda hard to believe now, but 50 used to be a good rapper. Basically he RULED 2003 with this album. Keep in mind this was before all the cocaine and steroid use. “Many Men” has to be his best song every lyrically. When I can actually afford to buy my own car this has to be one of the first albums I’m gonna bump.
ps. NEVER watch the movie “Get Rich Or Die Trying”- unless, of course, you want a good laugh. It’s incredibly fake and was made when 50 was getting a big head so he exaggerated a ton of details of his life. I actually walked out of the movie theater I was so disappointed.
So yeah, the reason I haven’t posted in a while is because my internet at home is screwed up and also… partially because I’ve been high lol. Well, not “ALL the time” as 50 says in this song, but you know I had to fuck with Mary J. since I’m on break from school.
Hmm, I think I’ll share 50’s best album while I’m at it. STAY TUNED KIDS!
La Haine is probably the BEST (and only lol) French movie that I’ve ever seen. Hell, we saw it in film class as an example of ‘European Art Cenima’ (even though it has a lot of violence and swearing it’s college so they let anything slide) Translated it means “The Hate.” The plot focuses around 3 teenagers who grow up in the projects of Paris. This film is important because it shows that hate will continue to thrive even after racism is obliterated because of classism.
Don’t worry, english subs are included.
Come to think of it I have a final in my film class in… 6 hours. Shit. WTF AM I DOING!!! I’m such a lazy ass. 
[EDIT 12-27-08: Links for movie with embedded subs added]
Don’t get me wrong, 2Pac had a lot of good songs, but he never really had that many good albums (this one being one of them). This album was actually released when he was in JAIL. Yeah, he knocked Michael Jackson off the charts FROM PRISON! The amazing thing about this album as that it was recorded in only 2 weeks.
