Gay Rapper Cazwell And Rising Star Luciana Team Up

Cazwell is one of the best known gay rappers. Luciana has already made a name for herself in the gay community by enlisting Betty White as a partner in her debut track. What do you get when you take two rising stars of the LGBT flavor? You get a sexy track and video called "Guess What?"


I have to say this song was much better than I had expected. I've not payed a lot of attention to Cazwell thus far, and I might have skipped over this release had Luciana not been attached to it. I'm actually glad I checked it out, because it is pretty catchy. Cazwell is a great rapper, and has a lot of quirky gay tweaks to throw into his flows (such as bringing up Craigslist). Luciana is just fabulous no matter what she does.

The track is very fun and upbeat. I found there to be a couple of things that were odd about the track. Apparently Luciana feels the need to constantly remind people that she is both hot and from London. Also the fact that the song is called "Guess What" is a bit confusing, seeing as the main hook from her last track was "Guess what? I'm still hot."

As for the video, it makes for an interesting watch. The two are seen running amok in an abandoned flat in NYC, having fun. What makes it visually appealing is the use of pink colors throughout. The only awkward part is when Luciana is in the cat suit with her tail floating above her while she does some weird back arching thing. The best part for me was the cameo shoehorned in at the very end. Tammie Brown is the voice of the emergency broadcast system. Love that crazy lady!

You can view the video here on YouTube (embedding seems to be disabled?) and you can grab the track on iTunes.

Sorry I Missed It - Luciana And Betty White "I'm Still Hot"

Sometimes I can be so oblivious to the most amazing things ever. Sure, I knew about the song at the time it came out last year, but I didn't have enough time to check it out. I figured it was just another trashy pop track featuring another aged TV star. Then it hit me -- Betty White isn't some aged TV star. Betty White is still hot, and she will never be any less so.




To be honest, I'd never heard of Luciana before. She is British, and apparently has had some minor hits over seas. I guess it's forgivable that I wasn't familiar with her. As a matter of fact, I don't think anybody was. Everyone was tuning in to see Betty White (and her obviously Not-Her stunt double that does break dancing in a white wig). Not tryna hate, but it's true.

That's not to say the she has no credit in the video and song. Luciana sounds good, and she looks even better. She's serving us some Holly Valentine level sexiness, which can be hard to accomplish. The song probably serves as her comeback, letting the world know that she isn't some washed up singer, either, and she's "still hot". She must be pretty hot if she's managed to wrangle Deadmau5 and Benny Benassi for her new EP.

I love that Betty White had a great sense of humor in the video. From the beginning where she upstages Luciana with her superior beat to Golden Girls references to the over abundance of cheesecake, this video is all about Betty. And this video -- this very video -- is why I thank the stars every day that the internet exists. It's like... and everything burrito.

You can buy the song on iTunes, but you probably have already seeing as I'm the last person on the planet to see this one!
