Alert: Emergency Post!!

Ok, I just saw something that I couldn't stand to keep to myself. I was watching...BET...yes, I know and 106th and Park was on...yes, I know. It happened to be on the #1 video, which was Mario ft. Sean Garett and Gucci Mane "Break Up". It happens to be one of my current summer jams. This was the first time I saw the video for it. Now, I'm not usually one to judge. Everyone is a unique individual with their own set of traits. I'm not perfect, and neither is anyone else. However, if that video wasn't a modern day "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"...the poor girl was being chased by 3 trolls! You would want to break up to, and run!

Now, I've never personally found Sean Garett or Gucci to be attractive anyway, but apparantly I've never seen them close-up. When Gucci popped on the screen, the first thing I said was "EEWW! Thats his face?!" His lips are too big and black to skip out on chapstick. And the nasty gold grill? Uh uh boo boo. He looks just how he sounds. And Mr. Garett? His face is what I remembered, but he's a big boy (like muscley big)! I must have missed that before. Homeboy is massive! That, plus that face is the complete opposite of his voice. It's like if Mike Tyson could sing like Ne-Yo. As for Mario...I'm just disappointed. He has some exaggerated features (like those Black Hole nostrils of his), but I've always found him to be decent and kinda cute. So why, with that lumpy peanut head, would he think it was a good idea to get a baldie? He just got rid of the braids to get his grown-man on, now he's getting his old man on...smh. Despite the carnival show, I really like the video. I wish I was in it dancing with Baby Bear.




*I don't want anyone to think this reflects how I feel on a regular basis. I was just overwhelmed, lol. That is all.

Thanks for bursting my bubble...


Hello all. Ok, so you know by now how simple my mind can be, and how easy it is for me to be confused, enlightened, than disturbed..and yes, in that order. Today's bubble burster is Kid Cudi's "Make Her Say". Now, I have heard this song a while ago, and I loved it. It was fresh, used a sample of Lady Gaga's "Pokerface" (another bubble burster) very well and very different than usual. I almost thought it was a remix. It features Common and Kanye, which makes it even hotter. I loves me some Common. I never thought twice about anything. However, after a couple months, I discovered it wasn't a remix, it was all Cudi's. And he was just as nasty as Gaga. His song is called "Make Her Say (Poke Her Face)". Yea..."Cudi: I make her say Gaga:OH, OH, OH, OH Cudi: When I... Gaga: Po-po-po-poke her face (poker face), po-po-poke her face". Geez man... They're lucky the video is cool. I just saw this last week. Me likey. It's rather upscale for a newly popular artist like Kid Cudi, especially being his second video. Here it is:

MJ Tribute #1

This is one of my favorite songs. Many people don't know that MJ had a solo album way before his Jheri Curl "Rock With You" days. In 1972 he came out with his first solo album, "Be There" before his break from the Jackson 5. This is one of the singles off the album. It was #16 on the pop charts and #2 on the R&B charts in 1972. I wanted to give you the live performance, bu it was too blurry, so here's a slideshow instead. Here is "I Wanna Be Where You Are":

Thanks for bursting my bubble...


I think little things like recurrent segments, add character to a simple blog. Gives you something to look forward to, ya know? Well this particular segment is called "Thanks for bursting my bubble" in which I thank someone or something for further ruining my innocence with inappropriate things such as innuendo, inferences, photos, interpretations, etc. This happens to me often, and now I have the world to share my shock and dismay with.

Lucky for you, this topic debut is a double feature, the first being Britney Spears' song "If You Seek Amy". Now, I happen to be an avid Britney fan (My music tastes will be discussed in a future post). Due to this, I was an instant fan of this energetic yet "poppy" tune. I blast it in my car, scream it to drivers while waiting at red lights, and sing it to my dog. I have even offered my interpretation of it's meaning to naysayers, regardless of the fact that I had no idea what it was about, or who the heck Amy was. So, one day, while completing the survey in an earlier post, I was asked if I knew what this particular song meant. Since I had my theory, I thought I had an idea. Well I was wrong. First of all, here are the lyrics:
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la

Oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom is she smokin' up outside? Oh
Oh baby baby does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that I'mma buy her do you know just what she likes? Oh

Oh oh, tell me have you seen her? Because I'm so oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just want to go to the party she gonna go
Can somebody take me home?
Ha ha, he he, ha ha ho

Love me hate me, say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me, but can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me, la la la, la la la

Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when and now they're closing up the club, oh
I've seen her once or twice but boy she knows my face
But it's hard to see with all the people standing in the way, oh

Oh oh, tell me have you seen her, because I'm so oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just want to go to the party she gonna go
Can somebody take me home?
Ha ha, he he, ha ha ho

Love me hate me, say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me, but can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me

Oh, so what you want about me?
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
Oh, so what you want about me?
La la la, la la la

So tell me if you see her
'Cause I've been waiting here forever
Oh baby baby if you seek Amy tonight
Oh baby baby we'll do whatever you like
Oh baby baby baby
Oh baby baby baby

La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la

Love me hate me, say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me, but can't you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy

Love me hate me, say what you want about me, yeah
Love me hate me, but can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy
Love me hate me

Oh, so what you want about me?
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
Love me hate me
Oh, so what you want about me?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy

Now, my innocent mind took into consideration the chaotic lifestyle of Miss Spears and thought that she was addressing the public. I felt she was supposed to be this Amy character and that, basically, love or hate her, people always want to kno and be where she is. What I discovered was,"Amy" was simply a byproduct of the title "If you seek Amy", when broken down as such "If-You-See-K Amy which actually symbolize letters: If=F, See-=C, -k Amy= K me. If you notice, I left out a word/letter. Why? Because you guys are so sharp. Apparantely, this witty number was talking about how everybody wants to perform lewd acts of a sexual nature with Miss Spears..boys and girls alike. Oh.

My next also happens to be a song, and it is Lady Gaga's "Pokerface". Now, I realize she is already a rather racy individual. I also happen to be an avid fan of hers as well. However, I thought, and I must say with very good reason, that this song was about how she was all lovey dovey sprungadocious over some dude, but she didn't want him to kno how deep she was in, so she had to keep her pokerface on. Well, to my suprise, I was wrong...oh so wrong. Before I enlighten some, here are the lyrics:
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)


See? I like to think I'm an intelligent person. It's not like I just guessed. I listened, I pondered, and I came to a conclusion. Now I find out that she has personally revealed what it means. "When GaGa took to the stage at the White Party in Palm Springs, she explained to the roaring crowd that 'Poker Face' is a reference to the expression she pulls when she's having sex with a man, but wishes she was having sex with a woman." ( There's more where that came from, check below.) Guess I should have known something from "bluffin with my muffin". Now ain't that about a....smh.

That is all.
