First, here’s a funny story. I was online around 9am, and Sneaky Pete hit me up.
“What is it that people do this early? I’ve already read the entire paper and Newsweek.”
Pete couldn’t sleep, so he just got up early and had no idea of what to do. I long for those days.
Anyway, it’s time to trip on foolish things in songs. This woman named Rihanna has won the most recent prize, easily topping previous winner Beyonce Knowles.
So Rihanna’s got this song called “Unfaithful.” It’s a typical “I’m wrong for cheatin on my man” song. Except she seems find herself to be a little more important than she actually is. Quoting…
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I don’t wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don’t wanna hurt him anymore
I don’t wanna take away his life
I don’t wanna be…
a murderer
His trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don’t wanna do this
Anymore (anymore)
First, lemme say a little more about the song. It seems the protagonist really feels bad as she gets ready for dates with a dude that is not her man. FYI–it appears she lives with her man. But she’s gettin her hair did and all cute to roll out with her man on the side.
What kinda flaw pimpin is that? Who’s got the time to balance two relationships. That’s too much work. You’re a fool, you flaw pimp. Folks on the side are just that–folks on the side. Your game is atrocious, and you should be punished because of some clause that will be included in the pending G-Code.
But you know what? That doesn’t bother me. Why not? Because I’m pretty sure that if buddy knew the deal and wasn’t saying anything, he had a reason not to trip. It’s like a flip up of that old Johnnie Taylor song, “who’s makin love to yo old lady, while you was out makin love.” Dollars to donuts says he was on the horn the second shawty dipped out.
So with that in mind, I ask that Rihanna reconsider this whole euthanasia thing. First, I have a feeling this isn’t killing the dude teh way you think. I’m sure it didn’t feel good. I’ve been dipped out on before. It can be a little hard on the ego, especially when you’re young and still have faith in people.
(You’ll have to forgive me on that last one. Even though I’ve got a girlfriend now, I kinda reflexively say really jaded things. Hard habit to break. I now have faith in people. Still not but about two or three of you–including my mother–but some faith, yes.)
However, it never got so bad that I wanted somebody to take me out. Nossireebob.
She gets a great big Dubois for that one.
Who do you think you are, shawty? What do you do that’s so incredible? Did you have your first child on Sunday morning but still have dinner ready at 6? What?
For years, I’ve said that R&B songwriting coudl be as destructive as hip hop’s, and it could do so in more insidious ways. You really listen close to how most male/female relationships are discussed in R&B, and you realize that people really kinda have messed up views on the way things go. A lot of irrational recommendations and the likes.
And this level of self-importance makes me wanna earl.
But I promise buddy’s doing okay on his own. He’s working on his own song entitled, “She Thank She Slick.”
ha… you’re a trip. Very true though…
ha… you’re a trip. Very true though…
Rihanna gets no pass from the G-Code. (Jay-Z hangs his head in shame, Memphis Bleek remains one hit away.)
TRUST that if a dude sees you getting ready to go see your sidekick and doesn’t say anything, he’s waiting for you to leave, so his can come over.
Can we please not get ahead of ourselves here? I know it’s “art” and perhaps not meant to be taken seriously, but if she’s that upset about what she’s doing….then fucking stop it you trashbag whore.
Besides, the song sucks.
one of the cats i grew up with took himself out a few months ago. found out that his girl was doing the thing with other folks.
now homeboy wasn’t no punk. wasn’t hardcore either…but he was just good folks. must’ve had some other issues going on that none of us knew about.
homegirl’s song reminds me of this cat.

she does sound like she’s got the golden snatch or something. in the meanwhile, there are brothas out there just soft enough to make this song true. LOL
in other words, they ain’t all like you bomani.

I haven’t heard this song, but I avoid modern R and B like the plague. It is just as offensive as today’s popular rap in terms of both sound and content.
Could this song be any more ridiculous than the utter shit that R Kelly produces?

I heard that this song was given to her after it was passed up by another singer. Mebbe her man was getting distracted by all the glare off that six-head. She passed Beyonce in the forehead dept. earlier this year and I could see Hov aka Jordan on the Wizards making the switch.
OT: When Cam’rom was dropping all of his diss tracks a few months back it mostly sounded like unfulfilled hateration. On one track, he jokes on Jay’s comeback from retirement and compares him to Jordan with the Wiz. That’s funny stuff, so’s calling another man Fraggle Rock.

Yanno…this is what happens when the voice of a particular genre of music comes from folk who are aged 15-22. Let us all agree that is not a demographic you can look to for any kind of emotional stability.
Meanwhile, I am not sure if its worse or better than Me & YOU by Cassie, which is almost assuredly about oral sex.
