Song of the Day: Lil Wayne feat. Drake "With You"

I have a confession: I have a thing for rap "love songs". Those songs with a great, smooth beat and even though he's rapping it almost sounds cute/romantic lol.

I'm not really into him much these days but I downloaded the new Lil Wayne album I Am Not A Human Being and this was one song that definitely stood out to me. I was feeling the rest of the album, not as much as The Carter III but I'm thinking after hearing it a couple of times it will be in rotation. Check it out below...

Song of the Day: H-Town "Knockin The Boots"

Knockin the Boots (n.) - Two boots coming together making tasteful lust.

I'm driving home last night after chillaxing with The Boo, and H-Town's "Knockin the Boots" comes on Mojo.

This song used to be my JAM. Please note that in the intro he says "kickin it in the 9-3"....in '93 I didn't even know what "knockin the boots" meant but I sure knew every word to this song...SMH. Check out the video below.


Anybody else have some song they loved as a kid that was totally inappropriate?

Song of the Day: Lauryn Hill "Ex-Factor"

I love this song. It's one of those songs I can just relate and that touches me some kinda way. This was the song that really turne me into a Lauryn Hill fan too.

When me and The Boo were broken up and going through our ish, this song used to bring me to tears and it still kinda does. The lyrics just summed up everything and all that I was feeling during that rough year that we were broken up.The whole ex factor can really be a trip, the hurting, the confusion, the love and nobody captures it better than Ms. Hill. I want her to make a comeback!

Check out the video below. Have a great day!

Song of the Day: Boys II Men "Water Runs Dry"

I'm sitting at work doing a mmailing like a good little intern. I'm listening to Pandora (although I would love to be listening to Kid Cudi if only I could get my hands on a copy) and thinking about The Boo who I haven't talked to in about a week which is when he left! This should be an indication of my current mood as well. So I'm enjoying Pandora and a Boys II Men song I loved back in like 1997 came on.

Now in '97 I loved the song for their smooth voices. But the volume level and my mature age had me listening to the words. This B2M classic is saying some real stuff and it really had me thinking. I've got so much on my mind between issues with The Boo (and our serious lack of communications) and school (there will be a vent post very soon about this I'm sure!). Check it out...



Side note: I can't wait to get out of the office and hit happy hour with my girl!

Song of the Day: Black Eyed Peas "Alive"

I've never really been into the Black Eyed Peas. Sure some of their songs are catchy and of course they usually can make you dance. But I've never listened to anything past what they play in the club/on the radio.

My friend conviced me to download their CD and I actually took the time to listen to it (well I popped it in on an 8-hour drive home and the dance/techno-like beats kept me awake). One song I really liked was "Alive". It's catchy and although it's a bit of a break-up song, it's also a get-back-together song plus it's fun!

Song of the Day: Kanye West "All Falls Down"

This is one of my favorite Kanye songs. It comes from his first album The College Dropout which was back in the days when he was talking about things.

In the second verse he talks about being self-conscious and trying to stunt when you really don't have the means to do it.

I think stunting can mean more than just in reference to material things like buying that new Louis Vuitton or putting 22s on your truck. Sometimes we stunt with our feelings. We pretend we're something we're not on the emotional side and when it hits that it's not really you you're pretending to be or you get in over your head it all falls down on you. I think he poses a good question in the chorus...



When it falls down who you gon' call now?

Song of the Day: Clipse "I'm Good"

For me there is nothing better than a N.E.R.D./Neptunes beat (well besides Kanye's of course). I love them.

I'm really feeling the second of two singles from their new album Till The Casket Drops called "I'm Good". Maybe I'm just feeling the beat and Pharrell's echo underneath their rapping but I had to make this my song of the day, it's going hard on the iPod....

Song of the Day

I'm taking back, all the way back to high school.

Back then this song was just another dance song I used to laugh at with my black friends and dance crazy to with my white friends.

Last night I was ironing my hair, iTunes was on shuffle, and this came on. I was already in a weird mood and something had me actually listening to the words and I was like "wow this is kinda deep".

An excerpt from the 2^nd verse:

You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at
AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaallllll..
We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings
InvooooooOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOlved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
Then what makes, Then what makes LOOVVEEE?
(Love exception) So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy heeeerrreeee...
Y'all don't want me here you just wanna dance

Despite his sometimes strange delivery, Andre 3K does delivery knowledge!

Song of the Day

If you don't have that new Maxwell album BLACKsummers'night, please immediately go purchase it (especially if you're a fan). I've never bought a Maxwell cd before, I listened to his music before but I am thankful to be old enough to appreciate his music now that he's back (and sexier than ever if you ask me). I've been playing this song Stop the World nonstop but the whole CD goes hard! I just wish there were more songs. Check it out and Youtube some of the other songs if you're skeptical :-)
