Really, you should be listening to music every day, but thanks to Twitter, Monday has become the best day of the week to discover new songs, show some love to the tune currently dominating your iPod playlist and quietly judge the listening habits of your closest friends. Yes, it's #MusicMonday, one of Twitter's most enduring trending topics. Hence "MTV News' #MusicMonday," a weekly look at the songs your favorite stars are currently crushing on.
This week, upcoming hip-hop act Cali Swag District turns Rick Ross' "B.M.F." up to 11.
Not only do Rick Ross' massive singles resonate with fans, but they also spread throughout the hip-hop community. Ross' particular combination of street thuggery, pure hedonistic boasting and local Miami flavor (typically paired with a cinematic, low-end-heavy beat) turns most of his songs into stone-cold bangers. Such is the case of "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)," the single from Ross' about-to-top-the-charts album Teflon Don. When up-and-comers Cali Swag District stopped by the MTV News office last week, they too sung the praises of Ross' latest masterpiece.
"I gotta say Rick Ross' 'B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast),'" dancer M-Bone told MTV News. "There's something about when it starts off it just gets us amped."
"We actually put that song on our performance disc," added MC and DJ C-Smoove. "It's just ... once that beat drops, we just boom. We just explode."
Cali Swag District know a thing or two about hair-raising singles, as the group's single (and dance craze) "Teach Me How to Dougie" has earned them a tremendous amount of fan enthusiasm and respect from the rest of the hip-hop community. No doubt "Teach Me How to Dougie" is more than one person's go-to jam on this #MusicMonday.
