Power Trip J Cole
I think that I am addicted to this song right now. Love the beat, love J. Cole's story, and Miguel what can I say, I am probably his biggest fan in the world. He is actually what drew me to this song I couldnt get the chorus out of my head. I am literally humming it as I type. I first heard the song in my Frank Ocean Pandora station and kept thinking it was Drake (because I have to listen to Pandora at work friendly volumes) Then the boo asked me if I had seen the video and I hadnt so he pulled it up for me. I was a little disturbed after I saw the video, for those who havent seen it I'll just let you watch. For those who have... What in the world??? lol. So while I love J's delievery of the story my fav lyric has to go to Miguel, mainly because he has such a beautiful voice "would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me..." Just watch the video and of course listen to the lyrics...
Love her!!!

My God is AWESOME!!
I was riding in the car with my sister and nephew last night listening to Praise 102.5 and I heard what sounded like my favorite gospel song right now Awesome by Charles Jenkins and Fellowhip Chicago playing but the beat had a little more bass to it and it had some solo spots. LOL I was bobbing my head and was like man I love this!! it must be the remix to my jam. A lady was singing then a guy came in and their voices were astounding. Then there was a beat drop and a rapper came in he had a great flow (now I do not like gospel rap, other than Lecrae lol) so I had to find out who this was. After a quick Google search which was pretty much me typing in Charles Jenkins Awesome Remix and there it was!! I found out that it is on the Canton Jones: Kingdom Business 4 album and it was Pastor Charles Jenkins feat Jessica Reedy, Issac, and Da Truth. Now I love both versions so you can listen to both below. My lyrics for this song is the entire song I love it soo much I couldn't just pick out an absolute fav!! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!!

Bad
In a weird mood tonight lol... I've just been scrolling through YouTube and I clicked on a Wale song that I love. Some people would consider some of the lyrics ratchet but Wale for me is a Poet! He can make some of the craziest lyrics sound like spoken word. I love the vibe of this song, the beat is great, you can do a meeean body roll with a stank face while grooving to it hahaha. My Line "she hurt feelings, she break hearts, she stay quiet, she play smart, she take pride, in going out, getting hollered at, and saying nah, she's no saint, but she don't pose, she don't wear makeup by the boat load..." I personally can identify with this part of the song IDK maybe I knew Wale in one of Erykah Badu's other lifetimes... Anywho lets get on with it!!
(Side note: Do you peep the bed sqeaking in the background?? pays a little homage to Trillville's song Some Cut now dont act like you dont know what song that is LOL)

Don't Judge Me...
For some unknown reason Rocko has always been near and dear to my heart. Maybe its the hoodrat that lives deep deep deep inside of me, but he always has a tune that makes me tap my foot a little bit, no I'm lying a lot of bit, his beats make me do my hood girl two step and I get sooo excited when I hear this song in my car and especially when I am out and about. I kind of feel like I loose some I.Q. points when I listen to him, but I just cant help it. Lyric Time "Take money, I'm macho hoe, If I finess you out yo' dough, thats nacho dough...You said that was yours, survey said, thats nachos, you said that you run the town, streets say, thats nachos" Yea I know, just come along and loose some brain cells with me hahaha!!
Poetic Justice
I absolutely looooove this Video... I just saw it for the first time on Saturday and since then have probably watched it 10 times and counting. Kendrick Lamar is one of the reasons I started this blog. Lyrics, lyrics and more lyrics. The cinematography of the video is just as poetic as the song. I especially like the slow motion shots and how they reverse a little bit and then continue. I thoroughly enjoy all 3 verses of the song but my favorite lines are how Kendrick and Drake end their verses..."They say conversation rule the nation, I can tell, but I could never right my wrongs, 'less I write them down for real, P.S. -Kendrick "They say Communication save relations I can tell, but I can never right my wrongs, 'less I write them down for real P.S.-Drake. My other favorite is from Kendrick's third verse..."Every time I write these words, they become a taboo, making sure my punctuation curve, every letter is true, living my life inside the margin and that metaphor was proof..." I adore this video just as much as the song, the video may have even made me love the song that much more. Enjoy P.S. (pun intended lol) Poetic Justice is in my top 10 favorite movie list of all time fyi :-)

Right Before Valentines Day is over...(I guess on the west coast)
Valentines day is officially over on the East Coast but I am from Cali so technically we have another 2 hours and 14 mins to keep this thing rocking. However it is my booksi's bday on the east so in honor of V-Day love and his bday my song of choice for the night is from none other than Ms. Erykah Badu. When I first got the Mama's Gun album I did NOT like this song and would always skip over it. That is until the summer before my senior year in college I fell in love, once my heart was snatched up this song took on a whole new meaning. I can lay for hours listening to it on repeat and smiling. I looove every lyric and every note, however my favorite line is "He gets to smile, and I get to be Orange..." I absolutely adore being orange. Some say that there can be a parallel drawn in this song, that she is either talking about her relationship with God, or a man, or both. Listening to the lyrics closely it can be deduced that she quite possibly could be referring to both. That being said it will go into our poetic category. Well without further ado... Orange Moon! (Happy Valentines Day to all and if my dearest is reading this Happy Birthday!!!)

Grammy Inspiration
So Random LOL
I was just watching Bounce Beats on Bounce TV and this video came on. I have heard this song a few times, I LOVE it, and hum it randomly. Now the artist is in No way fashion or form eye candy so the video threw me off a tad hahahaha. In any event though I thoroughly enjoy the song... Here you go, Mr. Marcus Canty.
**I realized that from the lyrics Mr. Canty needs to be in the Ratchet section LOL***
It's SUNDAY!!! (My Oprah Yell Voice)

Discovery

Eureka!! lol

...For the Poetic
I had a conversation on facebook the other night about one of my favorite songs in the whoole entire universe!! None other than Green Eyes by Erykah Badu. This lady has a way with words that make you feel like she is talking directly to you and she knows exactly what you are going through at that moment. Or even if you are not going through it you start to question yourself like "dang did that just happen to me" and you know it didnt hahaha. Her lyrics are powerful and poetic and she uses them to make beautiful music with purpose and passion. My fav album hands down Mama's Gun. I can listen to it on repeat for days and never skip a song (with the exception of Penitentary Philosophy which is the first song) as far as I'm concerned the album starts with Didn't 'cha you, just my humble opinion. My fav lyrics from Green Eyes... from the intro "my eyes are green 'cause I eat a lot of vegetables, it dont have nothin to do with your new "friend"." From the bridge, "Never knew that love could hurt like this, never thought I would but I got dissed, makes me feel so sad and hurt inside, feel embarrased so I want to hide, silly me I thought your love was true, changed my name to Silly E. Badu, before I heal its gonna be a while, I know its gonna be a while 'chile" yaaaaassss I'm catching it as I'm typing LOL. But enjoy and please continue listening to the song that it transitions to at the end I love it as well :-) Smooches
Starting off the Ratchet side...
All Things Ratchet and Poetic
So the other day I was inspired to create a blog that was dedicated to Music and specifically lyrics of songs from every possible genre. My close friends and family know that music plays a big role in my life. As a child and now also as an adult people get mad at me because I know a looooot of songs. My sisters friends used to hate me because on road trips and long car rides I would sing along with the radio or CD and sing every song every word without skipping a beat. They would often try to "stump" me like "I bet she doesnt know this song," yet I always did LOL. What can I say I just love love music. My favorite of course is R&B and and Neo-soul but I listen to just about everything except classical and hard core heavy metal. Plus ratchet ratchet hood music holds a special place in my heart (hints the name of the blog), I dont know what it is but I just cant contain myself from dancing and singing along, in my car and in my room "I cant stop dancing." In my past with a bit of liquid courage I have been known to dance to it for several hours without sitting, I know, I know... *holds down head in shame* Well come along on this ride with me as week by week I will be posting some of my favorite songs, videos, and lyrics old and new. Feel free to leave comments and send emails to feature one of your favorite songs as well. Ill make this as interactive as possible. Let the fuuuuun Begin!!!
