I agree with everything but the Macklemore comment- I think he's more than just a gimmick, he has some good messages and even gimmicks in general aren't' terrible, they can be lighthearted and funny. There's nothing terribly wrong with that.
cldcollector I dunno, I'm not white, male or straight and I appreciate their contributions to the music industry. But I suppose we just prefer/want different things and that's fine.
Anyone who isn't bowing to Beyonce needs to get their heads checked. I'm sick of people trying to criticize her so they can be "different". You're not different, you're wrong. I agree with all but the Macklemore comment. I actually really like his stuff.
Maybe some people just don't like her. Personally, I don't like her voice after a few of her tracks. Just because I don't bow down to her doesn't mean I'm wrong: It means I'm not a sheep and actually have an opinion.
Lauren Mariah Ok but who says that people like her are"sheeps and don't have opinion". They're are people that like Beyonce and are able to criticize her.
Utada379 I never said that she was a sheep and didn't have an opinion. I just said that people should be capable of saying what they want to say, and that people have different opinions about her. I mean, she was the one that said that: 'if your not bowing down to Beyonce, you're not different: you're wrong'. Maybe you misunderstood? :/
I am surprised how many people feel this way! To each their own, I think he's talented, I just think it's unfair how many artists get started in their gimmicky stuff as a way into pop culture. Like how we have to suffer Katy Perry from time to time because of that "I Kissed A Girl" song. Luckily, I think we've all forgotten Carly Rae Jepsen...right?
Smoothiefreak Thrift shop was a song dedicated to showing how America's younger generations think that spending money on their clothes and appearance will entitle them to being viewed as cool, when at the end he just makes the point to say that "tryna get girls from a brand them you hella won't." signifying that the amount someone likes you depends on who you are not your ability to afford expensive clothes. But alas, I get you. There are definitely many of those artists that should have to work more to get fame, and I definitely hope that as time goes by, we leave people with actually meaningless songs in the dust.
More things that need to stay in 2013: Hashtags. Not hashtags themselves but when people use like 50 of them on thing or hastgagging an entire sentence. Also, giving couples one singular name. These things need to stay in 2013
yeah! It's crazy that people still do the name combo thing. I'm pretty sure I was still a child when "Bennifer" was a thing. We shoulda let that go a while ago!
Much of the respect I have for Macklemore comes from the fact that he has managed to remain independent. Not just on an indie label but totally independent. Major record labels are pretty nasty and have gotten that way because 15 years ago they had absolute power in determining what music gets popular. Now with the internet people can do their own promotion and achieve success which I hope continues. Also, while I agree we should stop talking about the royal family so much (which absolutely will never happen), they actually have an interesting purpose and help more than hurt their economy by not being kicked out. You should watch CGP Greys video on it.
I saw a post on tumblr yesterday that basically said some percentage of Miley Cyrus's presence in media must be fabricated for sales, but we don't know how much. And that is kind of terrifying.
I love this list and pretty much everything Smoothiefreak posts! I watched "Meet Your First Black Girlfriend" two weeks ago, subscribed immediately and have watched pretty much every video since (I'm talking Senior Superlatives and all!) lol Can't wait for what's to come!
Will have to disagree about "What does the fox say?" Though I can't say it for their other songs, I was so happy that something so random, quirky and strange was able to get some love. I find it rare when comedic things aren't offensive or degrading, so to have this silly concept get so much play time made me happy : )
As an English person, saying anything bad about the Queen is about as bad as insulting Beyonce. I really don't care if she doesn't pay taxes, she is amazing...There is a drinking rule in the UK where if you put a penny in someones drink they have to down it or else the Queen will drown. It is serious business!
I can actually say that I am 100% in agreement with someone. Why celebrate mediocrity? Let's not call Macklemore's "music" rap....ever. And let's all bow down the Queen B.
We could stand to leave swag in 2013. It's been unhip as bling. Just because you new Jordan's is swag & you named your cute dog Swag, doesn't make the dog shit all over your new Jordan's extra swaggy.
Definitely agree with everything that was on this list, especially that comment about Macklemore I live in Washington and wish people would shut up about Macklemore, he's not that great.
Beyonce is good but...Im kinda a "Little Monster" so...My Queen is Stefani Germanotta...Mostly because she would never tell me I should "bow down" to her. And Macklamore killed this year...Love them and wish them success...
They took everyone's cell phones and cameras. The only footage from those parties that will come out will be from Donald Glover's team, for sure. But I will tell you it was one of the best nights of my life.
Person who commented below me is speaking my language. Beyoncé is the truth and anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG and probably just wallowing in their shortcomings. Also, the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis album is fabulous. I would encourage you to listen to it in it's entirety of you haven't already! But still a really entertaining video!
The same people against bullying are the very people taking about Miley. If she shakes her butt it is not anyone business, she is not harming any human or animal. So stop hating and bullying. Miley please proceed for 2014. The majority of this video is bullying.
Please do not trivialize the psychological torment of others by saying my criticism is bullying. It isn't. Not liking something is not the same thing as bullying. I don't have to love Miley Cyrus, and my saying that I would rather not see her in 2014 doesn't mean that I'm systemically ruining her life by repeatedly torturing her. I won't entertain that level of ignorance again.
I agree with everything but the Macklemore comment- I think he's more than just a gimmick, he has some good messages and even gimmicks in general aren't' terrible, they can be lighthearted and funny. There's nothing terribly wrong with that.

Twerking... "Leave it BEHIND." Was that intentional?
NO BUT I LIKE WHERE YOUR HEAD'S AT.

I only kinda know who she is. I know she was singer? I think? I don't know.
Utada379 I never said that she was a sheep and didn't have an opinion. I just said that people should be capable of saying what they want to say, and that people have different opinions about her.

Lauren Mariah Lol. Scratch what I said. I apparently thought I was applying to a different user. Fail
...I like Macklemore :(
He has good music.
I am surprised how many people feel this way! To each their own, I think he's talented, I just think it's unfair how many artists get started in their gimmicky stuff as a way into pop culture.

Smoothiefreak Not where I am. Th DJ played Call Me Maybe on NYE. I was like "really??"

Smoothiefreak I agree. Finally someone thinks like me.They did this with Marky Mark and now he's like a politician.
Oh naw you lost me at Macklemore, girl...mediocre my ass! lol

I think if you exchange the Macklemore comment for Robin Thicke, I'd agree with you 100%
One thing that must not stay in 2013 are your videos. They are great ! Happy New Year 2014 !!!
Awww thanks! Much more to come next year :D
I agree with everything. EVEN Macklemore. That dude's a dweeb.
I agree with almost everything. Macklemore is up for debate though
I agree with everything except Beyonce and Macklemore. Please don't block me though.
I agree with many things on your list. Sad thing is, some of them crept into 2014 *tear*
"Anything by Macklemore"
Beautiful
Thank you for acknowledging the need for tv networks to utilize new talent.
I'm just sayin.
I watched this and agreed with every single thing you said, so i subscribed!
I say the knock out game should be left in 2013. Not quite "pop culture", but an epidemic nonetheless.
Dying because this is still relevant in 2017
100% agree with everything! Especially about King Bey!
As soon as you started talking about Beyonce, I automatically had to like it.
Totally agree...expect for the macklemore thing.. I love his music!!
Much of the respect I have for Macklemore comes from the fact that he has managed to remain independent. Not just on an indie label but totally independent.

"If you look good, take a damn selfie" lol Preach!
DONT TALK ABOUT MY.MACKLEMORE
that's all I have to say.
I didn't even hesitate to like this video. I liked it well before the video ended. Yes to everything that was said.
Your videos ALWAYS make me smile. Have a great 2014!
YOU TOO! Happy New Year!
So accurate and funny! Plus, your hair looks awesome. *subscribed*
I saw a post on tumblr yesterday that basically said some percentage of Miley Cyrus's presence in media must be fabricated for sales, but we don't know how much. And that is kind of terrifying.
Fantastic video as always :D Can't wait to see more of you in 2014 x
yay ! so happy that you have your outro back :D !!
I know this video is old and it's 2015 now,but grumpy cat should stay until now.
Lol I love you more now that I know you are apart of the "Hive"! Awesome videos!
this video is gold , i know im 2 yrs late but it's still gold lol
I love this list and pretty much everything Smoothiefreak posts! I watched "Meet Your First Black Girlfriend" two weeks ago, subscribed immediately and have watched pretty much every video since (I'm talking Senior Superlatives and all!) lol Can't wait for what's to come!
hahahaha oh man, you watched the throwback. hahahaha
Will have to disagree about "What does the fox say?" Though I can't say it for their other songs, I was so happy that something so random, quirky and strange was able to get some love. I find it rare when comedic things aren't offensive or degrading, so to have this silly concept get so much play time made me happy : )
the statement about worldstarhiphop = thank you
But... but... I love Macklemore!
why am i watching this in 2017
This is awesome and I'm totally bowing down because you got said it all in under four minutes - great job!
Fast talking is my game. Ha!
Beyonce can sing her ass off but Jesus is Queen/King/Ruler of the universe im sorry I had to say it :|
I wish I saw this last year. Love this
As an English person, saying anything bad about the Queen is about as bad as insulting Beyonce. I really don't care if she doesn't pay taxes, she is amazing...There is a drinking rule in the UK where if you put a penny in someones drink they have to down it or else the Queen will drown. It is serious business!
This is my very first time seeing your videos, and let me just say...you are SO beautiful!! -__-
I subscribed right when i heard #9. Bless you.
Little did she know that memes would consume the universe.
Look Who's Talking Now is a great movie LOL
probably seen it more than most movies I've seen in my life. Which...is sad. ALSO, problem child. That was a great series.
Subscribed. 1) I agree with everything. 2) you are funny without trying (I guess haha) :3

My same exact things that should never come back
That cat is so creepy!!!! : ))
love it...u got a new subscriber gurl... :-)
I can actually say that I am 100% in agreement with someone. Why celebrate mediocrity? Let's not call Macklemore's "music" rap....ever. And let's all bow down the Queen B.
I am so happy I found you!
No no no! This was the year of the Macarons!
Thumbs up if her eyebrow movements were the star of this show! Love her expressions
We could stand to leave swag in 2013. It's been unhip as bling.
Just because you new Jordan's is swag & you named your cute dog Swag, doesn't make the dog shit all over your new Jordan's extra swaggy.
oh no. I thought swag got left in 2011. Did it find its way back into our collective vocabulary?
LOVE this video! I agree with everything on the list...
"or leaving your house" Lols i did a spittake.
PREACH!!!!! New subscriber
think pieces about selfies lol
I love your humor it's awesome
I like Macklemore...
i love your videos so funny and love how they feel homey
Number 5 is so true!
This video still looked pretty good. And it's okay that it was a little personal
Best list I've heard.
I love this list, but I can't say the Grumpy Cat listing didn't hurt a little bit.
That was on point!
i frickin love this!
Hey akilah I love your videos! Btw what camera do you use?
I use a t3i, but Tim uses a Canon 500D I thinkkkkkk. We'll make a video about it.
Omg you are hilarious.!!!!!
Definitely agree with everything that was on this list, especially that comment about Macklemore I live in Washington and wish people would shut up about Macklemore, he's not that great.
What I would give for 2013 right now lmao
I live Kirsty Alley's new show!!
I 100% agree with this video!!
"Nothing is holding us back more as a culutre as world star hip hop...." lmao... #sotrue
nice
Beyonce is good but...Im kinda a "Little Monster" so...My Queen is Stefani Germanotta...Mostly because she would never tell me I should "bow down" to her. And Macklamore killed this year...Love them and wish them success...
AGREE AGREE AGREE!!!! Have an awesome new year!
You are speaking the truth girl!!!
you posting that Mansion Party video.... or nah
They took everyone's cell phones and cameras. The only footage from those parties that will come out will be from Donald Glover's team, for sure. But I will tell you it was one of the best nights of my life.
Here in the Netherlands we also pay for the Royal family, and they don't pay taxes
YASSSSS
yasssss bb
Feeling the whole Beyoncé hater thing & using new talent!
...but I'm gonna stay with...the World Star thing KILLS me. Anybody I know that watches that s**t is NOT okay in my book. Absolute deal breaker.
"No more Miley"
I'm from Spain, and european royalties should have stayed already in the past, like, two centuries ago xD
BUT I LIKE MACKLEMORE!
Great video .. well said
Person who commented below me is speaking my language. Beyoncé is the truth and anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG and probably just wallowing in their shortcomings. Also, the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis album is fabulous. I would encourage you to listen to it in it's entirety of you haven't already! But still a really entertaining video!
Why are you my spirit animal?
Love it!! Lol
Don't be dissing Macklemore. But I agree with everything else.
The same people against bullying are the very people taking about Miley. If she shakes her butt it is not anyone business, she is not harming any human or animal. So stop hating and bullying. Miley please proceed for 2014. The majority of this video is bullying.
Please do not trivialize the psychological torment of others by saying my criticism is bullying. It isn't. Not liking something is not the same thing as bullying.

I won't entertain that level of ignorance again.
*nodding* :)
#11 so true!
Love you :)
