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 :-)

Love Love Love This

Everyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for Cheesy movies and Love Stories!! The Cheesier the better. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Pitch Perfect and boy was it GREAT!!! Since the first time I saw it in November I have watched it maybe 10 times. I now know all of the words and songs. From this movie I fell in love with some artists I had never heard before, one being LuLu and the Lampshades. In the movie the character Beca (played by Anna Kendrick, 90210) did an audition for an A Capella singing group and her audition song was from LuLu. After hearing it I had to find it. I found the original, I like it but I love Anna's version better. My Lyrics: "I've got my ticket for the long way 'round, The one with the prettiest of views, It's got mountains, It's got rivers, It's got sights to give you shivers, But it sure would be prettier with you..." Enjoy, definitely on my poetic side.

Side Note: I sooooo wish it was longer :-/

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

Watching the Grammy's and I got inspired to post. I am soooo excited for Frank Ocean I could just kick something LOL. I was in my room cheering when he won you would have thought he was my brother. The highlight for me was that for each award he was nominated for they played his song Pyramids which is one of my FAVORITE songs on his album, always gets me rockin'. While the video is very explicit and should be in the ratchet category lol it is artistic and we all know that Frank is nothing less than Poetic!!! Lines please.... "Pimpin in my convos, bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playin, top floor motel suite twisting cigars floor model tv with the VCR, got rubies in my *darn* chain, whip aint got no gas tank, but it still got wood grain..." ha! I know its the entire first verse give or take a few lines but what can I say. Just play the song. *Warning video shows nudity fyi lol*

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***
