What’s a Brooklyn Girl?
Last week Catey Shaw released a video for her new song, “Brooklyn Girls.” The video is sparking a ton of controversy among New Yorker’s, who were not pleased.
The tune is definitely a catchy one, so why is everyone upset with the song and video? Comments such as, “Gentrified Brooklyn Girls would have been more accurate.” and “how can you make a video of Brooklyn girls and shoot it in only one place.” are all over.
Shaw states the song is more about a strong female and not Brooklyn girls per se. Then again it’s just a song. It’s understandable why true Brooklyn residents would be upset, but what’s a real representation of a Brooklyn girl or guy?
Is this Brooklyn?
Video: Bobby Shmurda
Video: Jay Z – “Anything”
If Shaw shot a video similar to these, would it make her song justifiable? Probably not! That would turn into a whole other argument.
Yes, Shaw only shows one part of the borough and it just happens to be the hot spot, but, everyone sees their town/city differently. It all depends on who you are, where you are from, and what you know.

Poor Album Sales for Robin Thicke’s ‘Paula’
Well… Thicke’s album didn’t plummet as expected. Doesn’t seem like people want to hear him beg for Paula’s forgiveness.
According to Billboard, Thicke’s album, Paula, only sold 25,000 in the USA and just 530 first-week copies in the United Kingdom. Yikes!
The album isn’t bad, but it’s no Blurred Lines. Which hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s album chart with 177,000 in sales. The consistency is a little weak and it’s not too hard to lose interest towards the end of the album while catching some Zzzz.
We can’t fault artists when something traumatic goes on in their life and they want to hum tunes about it.Hopefully the album was more about getting his message across than album sales and he gets the attention he craves from Patton.
Better luck next time!
