HAHAHA!! I called this one back in September. Kanye, nobody wants to hear your bitch ass sangin all the time. NOBODY. The only reason you sold as much as you did (projected 425,000 first week which is barely half of what graduation did first week out) was because 75% of buyers were not aware that the lead singles "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless" were going to be the recipe for the entire album. This just goes to illustrate my point further as to how much people just follow the leader rather than creating their own path. There is not one person, whose hip hop opinion matters to me, that can say they are impressed by this album. Sorry Smalls, that includes you. Kanye shit the bed with this release and I really hope he quits with all this sunglasses at night, rockin the fox tail, tight jeans, deck shoes ass bullshit...
and gets back to basics. What are the basics, you might ask??
Now that was a track i was knockin back before your boy Kanye lost his damn mind.

as far as flopped goes...he definately didnt do that...he is number one on the billboard charts right now with both singles and the entire album sold more than any other album coming out at this time...but as far as kanye the person goes...i think this whole time he thought wayne was saying "go homo" cuz the kid has lost his mind...but i listened to the entire album and the work he put into it and the production is acutally amazing..but im with u all the way, i miss the old ye...holla atcho boy...
come on now ollie, hating on his new album, naw man...his mom just just passed away recently and also his fiance and him split. this is his way of expressing himself. he changed it up a bit cause boy is a genius at creating music. its like a dedication album. cant hate on that. he will be back trust! --shiestbug
When I said flop, i meant it strictly in the terms of sales. Look back at Kanye's 3 other major releases, platinum out the gate first week every time. This joint doesnt even sell half of that... Can you guess why? And dont say its the economy. Its because this fool (Kanye) is suffering from a severe case of bitchassness. Look, as far as losing your mama goes, i wouldnt know, havent had to deal with that, but when it comes to losin a girl, you gotta grieve in the privacy of your own home, not create auto-tuned homoerotic R&B music and drop shitty albums. And to address the "production is amazing" im not buying it. Its overly produced blowhard ego boosted orchestra music with 808 drums that have had the "grit" removed. RZA is pissed (remember when RZA introduced all the world to the gritty drum sounds that come from an 808??). The whole point of the 808 is to maintain that grittiness in the drums and samples but kanye managed to "whitewash" that and by whitewash i mean take one of hip hop's best tools and turn it pop. I am not hatin on Kanye gettin scratch, ive been a fan, but as a fan i feel it is neccessary to blast Ye for this foolishness until he gets his shit together and bounces back. LISTEN HOMIE, you are Kanye West, you can pull more bitches than Ollie without sayin a word. Step yo game up and quit simpin over some punk ass trick.
As fas as the Kanye purists out there are concerned, you know your boy laid an egg, just admit it and move on, so i can stop blastin Kanye on this site all the time.
album most definately doesn't compare to the previous 3. I think hes having a mental breakdown....starting when his moms died. Now hes all up the fashion world's ass. I hope the old 'Ye returns asap.
If this is your first time stopping by NickelPlatedBama, I would suggest getting a feel for the blog by going through the archives. There have been too many classic posts to count. If you disagree with an opinion here on the site, make it public. The writer of this blog suffers from a rare condition that allows him to feel absolutely zero remorse when attacking a person's character or, in most cases, lack there of. Please feel free to enjoy, hate, participate, tell a friend to tell 2 friends, but always, ALWAYS stop back here again tomorrow, as you never know what this looney bastard might say next...
Directly below this box you will find an interview with Oliver Wrist by Oliver Wrist that should serve as an FAQ. Anything else you want to know, Oliver will literally answer any and all questions you may have, so don't be shy, shoot an email to Oliver Wrist at: nickelplatedbamadotcom@gmail.com
Nickel Plated Bama: Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?
Who writes NickelPlatedBama?
Oliver Wrist writes, edits, designs, takes photos, and publishes NickelPlatedBama personally Monday-Friday. Oliver Wrist is an alter ego that I created as a means of getting things off of my chest. Ollie is irrational and flagrant. Once boos are introduced, the hillarity ensues. Rather than feel bad, Oliver chooses to embrace his lunacy and use his shamelessness for a greater good. Oliver's travels and opinions are documented on an almost daily basis. I say almost daily because I don't work on weekends.
What is NickelPlatedBama? What is A Nickel Plated Bama?
Nickelplatedbama is a face-melting social commentary blog written from the perspective of a self absorbed asshole with no shame or morals to speak of. If you're into hip hop music, silky smooth breezys, absurdly opinionated witty banter and reading the rants of an anti-social, overly confident, self absorbed "writer" (for lack of a better word) please continue. NickelPlatedBama is a source for venting and bashing, hating and thrashing, shitting and blasting on everything from bad food to bad music and everything in between. I don't hate everything however. NickelPlatedBama and more importantly Oliver Wrist praise iconic figures such as the ever elusive white girl thickness, mid-'90's hip hop, fashion, graffiti, art, ice cold behavior, celebreality t.v., Chicago Cubs baseball, San Diego Chargers football, College Basketball, Early '90's WWF wrestling, laughing at other peoples misfortunes, and generally acting like a complete type-a sociopath.
Nickel Plated Bama is extra gutter street slang for a nickel (the precious metal) plated hand cannon. You know, a burner, a strap, a gat, a tre pound, a whistle, or for the uninitiated a gun.
When did NickelPlatedBama get started?
Oliver Wrist has been the other half of my split personality for years. It originally started as my DJ'ing name. My career as a DJ lasted only about as long as it took me to write this BIO. As it turns out, I am an awful DJ. Not because I play bad records, but because I butcher the scratches. My brother, Young Smalls, a.k.a. DJ Fuzzy Badfeet, has taken over the reigns and is now my own personal DJ. Although Smalls refuses to accept the things I have taught him since birth as doctrine, he still gets the Oliver Wrist stamp of approval as a purveyor of all things mixed well. He uses my turntables, my mixer, and my records to do his thug-thizzle, but he is a much better DJ than I could ever be, so I just give him enough shit to remain enthusiastic. Being that my foray into the DJ world went south, I decided to use writing as a tool to express myself creatively. Thus far it has proven somewhat successful. How do I know? Well, you're reading this aren't you?
Where did you come up with NickelPlatedBama?
I have spent so much of my valuable time force-feeding the readers of this blog my personal musical preferences (Read: mid-'90's new york hip hop, ign'ant pimp shit, '90's bay area movement, etc.) and blasting all these idiots that set themselves up for utter failure everytime they open their mouth, or press record on the video camera over the last few months, that I forgot to ever place the credit where the credit was due. Nickel Plated Bama is a reference to a line in a song from the 808 King himself (No not you Kanye). I'm talking about The RZA. a.k.a. Bobby Digital. a.k.a. Bobby Boulders. a.k.a. The Abbot. a.k.a. The head of the Wu-Tang dynasty. When I came up with the idea to start writing a blog, I wanted to name it something that most people wouldn't understand right out of the gate, creating a buzz as a result of the inherent curiousity of the average internet lurker. The result was a line from a Bobby Digital album where RZA says "my head is a like a Nickel Plated Bamma". I guess I should just go ahead and spell it out for you. Instead of using an obvious title such as "The Smoking Gun" (besides, it was already taken) for a blog name, I decided to get creative. So, with this blog title, I pay homage to one of my favorite, not only rappers, but creator of things, and still stay sharper than a sword with the usage of metaphor in describing the gun (my keyboard) i use to roast those i deem indesirable.
See above question titled "What is a Nickel Plated Bama".
Why?
Why not is a better question. I hate alot of shit. I want people to know that I hate aforementioned "shit". This was covered in the above section titled "Who writes Nickel Plated Bama".
How do you pronounce the "BAMA"?
It recently came to my attention while I was in the streets passing out stickers and shamelessly promoting this blog that alot of people were mispronouncing the "BAMA". I will make it very easy for you all.
Think Alabama. Don't think Obama. Are we clear now? I really hope so.
