That's correct. And I have no idea maybe some people get down like that. I couldn't listen to the song after I found out what it meant.

Beyonce's Irreplaceable was just ridiculous. Every line just made her look more of a fool.

:confused: I loved it. Especially the video. Though, it does make me a little upset that she spent so much money on him, everything he actually owns fits into a box.

But there are plenty of women out there who actually attempt to keep a man by purchasing things and paying bills for him. This to me is a great song and didn't or doesn't make her look like a fool. I liked the song personally.

I'm sorry but I really don't believe that those are the actual meaning of the lyrics to Soulja Boy's song. The song has been around a lot longer than most people realize but this "definition" just comes out once he gets a video. This little boy was a youtube SMASH for months, maybe even upwards of a year, before he got a deal.

That song is stupid in my opinion, but watching ppl do the dance is entertainment...

^It's everywhere. It's like the "macarena" of 2007. Next, we're going to see Dub-ya doing it.

From my understanding it's slang in some southern states.

song lyrics explained
 
:eek: are they serious, i guess you really no longer have to have talent to write song anymore. It used to be a craft, does no one have any pride in their music anymore, but i guess when Aye baby becomes a number one smash no one cares anymore. I miss being young and listening to real music from the old school like the O'jays, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Luther. I know i'm only 25 but i would rather listen to classic R&B than todays Hip Hop crap that has no meaning to it, whatever happened to songs that made you cry, or feel better. Music is suppossed to send a message, now it's just selling, but hey when you droppin like it's hot i guees idon't really matter do it.:(

We (my college friends) said the same thing about "Shake Ya Laffy Taffy." You could do that dance to anything.

I'm with you. It's rare that I listen or buy today's artists. My ipod stays on my old school playlist.

christiangirl 11-28-2007 02:35 PM

^^^Ditto. :cool: (well, early 90s is about as old skool as I get, if that's what you meant--I'm not really clear on when the skools divide, lol)

I still have a love for Neo soul artists but hip hop i don't buy it unless it i really can deal with the lyrics. but even with the old school music, hip hop has no real originality to the music, everybody is samplin and lets not forget Diddy(king of unoriginality) damn bad boy for life whatever.
Hell me and my mom got into a discussion about sampling due to her not realizing the song dilema was sampled from a lady of soul herself Patti Labelle. :p we cracked up for days on that one cause i finally was able to say mom i think you got that one wrong, but we have a good relationship. we swap playlists over the internet and sometimes i burn a cd for her and it will be months before she needs another one :D, but yes i really detest this music that generates millions but in 10 years this music will end up as stupid 1 hit wonders
