Slow Motion
 

"She's working that back, slow motion . . . "

Please tell me who sings this song.

I'm driving my niece to day care this morning and we are both listening to the radio like what did he just say.

LOL!!! It's by Juvenile

I am soooo feeling this song right now. :D

it's juve and soulah slim (r.i.p.)

i have slow motion as a real-voice ringtone. people look at me like i'm crazy when they hear "uuuuuuuuuugh. ah lak-it lah that..." coming from my purse. :o

are we talking about the same song - its a rap song

Yup that's the one!

ROFLMAO

Yeah I like the song too in spite of :mad:

i'm surprised as hell - - - - the lyrics were about a guy that would not sleep with the girl when her period was on, oral sex and on and on and on - - - i was embarassed just listening to it and had no idea what to say to my niece. radio and tv are getting out of hand.

i hate to seem like an old head (ha ha ha) but this song should be banned. i'm surprised that educated women like the folk on GC like this music - - - to me, if you like this then you may as well support being called a bitch or nigger.

I don't see the paralell.

Why would they support a song calling them that when "Slow Motion" is about sex?

I think alot of it is tied to the beat. At least for me it is. I love Splash Waterfalls (edited version, of course). But, moreso because the beat is just nice!

I agree.

Music isn't just lyrics.

Perhaps the song does have a nice beat - that is not the issue for me - i'm concerned about the lyrics.

i'm tending to think that the 20-30 year old folk don't have problems with explicit lyrics. on the other hand, i find much of rap and especially the lyrics to slow motion to be in poor taste. of course, i'm older than most folk on GC and have little tolerance for a number of things.

Well, I'm in my late 20's (when did that happen!?!), and I have a mixed feelings about rap. I enjoy it, but I can usually only take the radio edits (sometimes, that's a bit much for me). In fact, I only own a few rap CD's (Roots, Common, 2Pac, Outkast, and Kanye West; that's about it).

However, if I'm in a club setting, it's different. It's party time. I'm just trying to catch the beat. But, as an adult, it's my perogative. Time and place...time and place.

I'm not a fan of the song either, but to each his or her own....
 

Professor,

Just wait until the end of July when the refreshing sounds of Stevie Wonder hits the radio...or will it?

:confused:

It's not some new phenomenon.
 

Well considering a lot of 20-30 year olds grew up on Marvin Gaye, Rick James, Prince, and other artists from the 70's who had sex laced lyrics, it's not that far fetched. There are plenty of r&b songs that talk about sex. Just because they call it "making love" doesn't mean the subject has changed or the lyrics are more suitable.

Re: It's not some new phenomenon.
 

Well put, Soror.

I love this song. It's my favorite right now.

Frat, you probably don't need to listen to the radio at all if you are all that concerned about lyrics. I can think of plenty more songs that are worse than this one. Confessions (Parts 1&2) by Usher comes to mind. And I'm talking about subject content, not the expliciticy (you like that one, don't you :p) of the lyrics themselves.

Re: Re: It's not some new phenomenon.
 

Oh. my. dayums. :o

I'm sure this has probably been stated SOMEWHERE in the thread, but.... almost HALF of us were conceived on some hip-smacking songs. I know my parents were rockin to some "Let's Get It On" back in 1973!

Shoutouts to Eddie Kendricks, the Godfather, Gladys Knight and Uncle Pee Wee for makin' that thang right!

I completely agree. I'm always in the monority on these things. But Ideal has a point, I basically keep my radio tuned to the gospel station. I can't stomach the idea of my 9 year old hearing much of what is being recorded and passed off as music now days.

See, now this is why I love this country, and GC. We can all agree to disagree. And, when you hear a song you don't like, you can just turn off the radio, or change the station.

:D

I love that song, it be knockin in the club. But at the same time I like alot of songs like that. The song is about sex and the beat is tight but that doesn't mean I agree with being called a bitch or nigger. I agree that radio and tv has became a little more R-rated and soon nothing is going to be censored.

I love the beat, but I don't listen to the lyrics.

I agree and disagree. There are a lot of songs that I LOVE the beat to, but are "nasty" or "vulgar". I just make sure I lsten to them when my daughter is NOT around. But there are some songs that I liked the beat to, THEN I listened to the lyrics one day, and could not listen to it anymore, because they were over the top. I think you just have to exercise your personal preference right here and pick and choose.

Try some other genres too, all music that's good isn't full of explicit stuff.

well,
 

i hate to say, this song is on the air on the time and i really like it. i found myself rolling around the city with my head bouncing.

i still say it should not be on the radio but i like to listen to it in the privacy of my home.

tude can you work it like that . . . slow motion:eek:

Re: well,
 

so many things come to mind, but I'll refrain.:eek:

Re: well,
 

welcome to the dark side.

on a related note: this morning on russ parr they gave a shout out to a couple that has been married 30 years. russ said, "we've been through all the crates, trying to find the right music to play to celebrate blah blah blah"
- - - why did these fools put on slow motion? :D
