Lil Wayne Ft. Rick Ross John: My Response PART 2

In his song, John, Lil Wayne says “Money don’t sleep so he can’t rest”. I think he means that if his money is in action, being made, it is not sleeping. He sounds like he wants to spend as much time awake as possible making money.  He probably can’t rest for because he is worried about his money. He might be worried about people doing whatever it takes to get a piece of the green. No vegetable.  He probably also wants to stay awake because he is a hard worker. 
I also like how Rick Ross refers to himself as a Santa. As Santa, Rick Ross says his gifts would be for all of his enemies. This is similar to santa because he also gives coal to his enemies. Santa’s enemies are anyone who chooses to be naughty.  Rick Ross may be naughty but still he gives gifts to people who are naughty. Maybe I am wrong, maybe his gifts are substances. You can look at this song in so many ways. I enjoyed it.

Lil Wayne Ft. Rick Ross John: My Response


I enjoyed the John video and song because it was entertaining with lots of figurative language. At the beginning, it sounds like an alien invasion is about to begin. The music playing is so dramatic just like some brand new creature is coming into discovery. I feel like if I saw a new creature come into this video, I would not expect it to be friendly. I would expect this mean creature to have saber teeth with diamonds at the end of the fangs. The fangs would say Weezy’s Alien Wombat.
 Lil Wayne also brags about the girls he called in jail but doesn’t give them too much attention so that they can keep coming back. “If she get greedy, imma starve her to death” ,Lil Wayne. This sounds like something I might hear on a pickup artist website. Sounds like Lil Wayne picked up girls in jail by talking to them for a while until they got “greedy”. Next, I guess he made himself unavailable by not picking up the phone.  Lil Wayne sounds like a jail phone macdaddy. When he wasn’t on the phone, he was probably busy writing the lyrics to the current mixtape. Rick Ross also did a lot of heavy breathing. Maybe it was his breath swag.

Kanye West Ft. Young Jeezy Amazing: My Response


This song is something that begins with an A and ends with a g. I think you already know what I am about to say. I just did not want to say it again because Kanye gave a nice helping of the word already. I enjoyed the song. It has a nice serene jungle and piano beat. When I bump this, I feel my eyes soften and a slight smile appearing. The auto tune Kanye uses is also different than the norm. This is peaceful as Kanye’s voice seems to go deeper on his auto tune as opposed to the screech-like sound I usually hear.   
I also thought the video was great too. It had lots of nature views that many do not frequently see.  I liked how Kanye appeared to be throwing sparks into an invisible fire whenever he said Amazing.  I thought the emphasis was amazing on his part. I think Kanye is saying the things he did are amazing. He is saying he will do what he wants, he has no limits and acknowledging the struggles he faced along the way.  Young Jeezy is saying something similar but with his own personal story including high blood pressure and growing up poor. All this was said in such a short song. Amazing.

New Boyz: Better With the Lights Off My Response


You know this song is really interesting. I like it when people do this. I love it when people say something and it is originally thought to be offensive then turn it around in a positive way. Remember phat? When I was in middle school, the first time people said a girl was phat, everyone thought you were talking about a female’s weight. Something different happened at that moment. The speaker replied that the word now had a p and an h instead of the f and that the word meant something cool, great, and wonderful. Well he may have not said it exactly like that but from then on, people viewed the word differently.

            The New Boys new song is similar in that regard because the title of the song usually would mean a not so attractive young or old woman. I believe the New Boys are saying that the girl they like looks better with the lights off because her personality shines. This is great for female self-confidence because this states a guy can like a girl for what’s inside her mind rather than what’s tucked into those jeans. Very good song in my opinion. What do you think?

I Am Not Afraid Of Big Words: Bring It!


Vocabulary can mean different things to different people. To some, it means greater expression of your thoughts and ideas. It is a blessing to these people. To others, it means that you have your nose up in the air and don’t want to be like everyone else. These people believe that you are trying to put yourself above others. I enjoy using big words and small words. I think that it is the way you word sentences that counts. I have heard people use big words the wrong way and people use small words the right way.  I also enjoy humor sometimes. I think that some people shy away from big words not just because of the words. Some people never ask why and don’t want to know the answer.

Sometimes It Feels Like You Go Faster On Foot Then By Car.



You know I am not too big a fan of large traffic jams. Especially during rush hour. It’s not easy sitting in an area for twenty minutes when you could have arrived at the end in five. It’s even worse when the u-turn area is congested as well. When I am in a situation like this I feel trapped. I feel that there is nothing I can do and that my destiny is in the hands of the ever-changing traffic light. This which, by the way, seems to stay on green for a slightly shorter period of time than usual.  
Just that feeling of restriction awakens a fire inside me that wishes to escape. It wishes to escape from the car and run, not walk to my destination. This fire does not care that the body will burn a great amount of energy to arrive at the destination.  All this fire desires is freedom. There is only one reason the fire does not have its way. The body needs the car for the times when it happens to not be in traffic.
How to you feel about traffic jams?
Let your frustrations loose here on my page.
Enjoy

Not All Hot Sauces Were Created Equal



Hot sauce can have a big impact on your munchies. It can mean the difference between a meal in which you are tempted to actually bite off your fingers and one where the plate stays at a safe distance. And does not get touched. Hot sauce is supposed to go on meat right? Well good hot sauce has the power to crossover, just like music. It can go on rice, corn, and even potatoes. It even has the power to go up against the all mighty ketchup.

My hot sauce of choice is Red Hot. What's yours?   :^D
