two dolla

drizzy and i are totally besties

My favorite 15 year old in Missouri is a huge Drake fan. Or at least was. I can’t keep track of what kids are into these days. It wasn’t until I heard the song Headlines, that I realized I kind of like this Drake kid, too.

I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fuck and stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long, I’m floatin’ in and out of consciousness
And they saying I’m back, I agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ooh I needed that
And they want to see me pick back up, well, where’d I leave it at?
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt cause I’m just mobbin’ like that
You know good and well that you don’t want a problem like that
You gonna make someone around me catch a body like that
No, don’t do it, please don’t do it
Cause one of us goes in, and we all go through it
And Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it
Those my brothers, I ain’t even gotta say it
That’s just something they know

Here’s the best part. If you go to this link, you can click on the lyrics and find out what they actually mean. I could keep myself entertained all day on a site called RapGenius.

I even found you this video if you’re so inclined to hear the whole song:

music that make me want to flip cars

Or punch walls or throw things out windows… but in a good way, of course!

1. ‘Leave Me Alone’ by Pink
2. Anything at all by Busta Rhymes, Notorious B.I.G., Method Man
3. ‘Roll Out’ by Ludacris
4. ‘Love the Way You Lie’ by Eminem/Rhianna
5. ‘Against All Odds’ by Phil Collins… Nope. That makes me want to punch people in the face in a not good way.

there’s gonna be one less lonely girl

I was oblivious to this Justin Bieber kid until a few weeks ago. We were talking about him at work, but I still didn’t understand who he was or what he did or how many tween girls wanted to right Mrs. Ashleigh Bieber on their Trapper Keepers. (I know Trapper Keepers aren’t around anymore. Hush.) And then I just found out — like two seconds ago — that he did a song with Ludacris.

You know Ludacris, right? He says things like:

• I wanna, li-li-li-lick you from yo’ head to yo’ toesAnd I wanna, move from the bed down to the down to the to the flo’Then I wanna, ahh ahh – you make it so good I don’t wanna leave.
• Now who’s that bucked-naked cook fixin three-course meals?Gettin goosebumps when her body tap the six inch heelsWhat in the world is in that ROOM, what you got in that ROOM?A couple a gats, a couple a knives, a couple of rats, a couple of wives

Dude was in really scary thuggish movies like Hustle & Flow and 2 Fast 2 Furious, right? He’s hardcore!

And then he GUEST RAPS WITH JUSTIN BIEBER. I peed myself a little and was kinda mad I sat through all of this little Twat Nugget’s video before I got to watch Luda rap with a G-RATING. And then he puts Justin Bieber in a headlock at the end. Oh, that’s so cute.  Coochie coochie coo.

Really. Watch it. Right here. Do it.

And then you know what happened? I watched another Justin Bieber video. And it had Usher in it. And Justin Bieber had an iPhone. And then I watched another Justin Bieber video and there were puppies in the video.

And I swear to God, if I watch one more Justin Bieber video tonight, I’m totally writing Wendy Bieber on my notepad at work tomorrow. And that can’t really go over well.

weird songs that trigger memories – no. 1

“Think” by Aretha Franklin: The first time I remember hearing this song was when I was a freshman and starting up my very first band camp at Smith-Cotton High School. Because I was internet-less, it was next to impossible to figure out how to actually listen to the words of it, which for whatever reason were way important to me back in my 14 year old, trying to impress the overly-handsome band teacher (his nickname was Rod the Bod! Seriously!) self. I remember calling KSIS 1050 AM in Sedalia and requesting the song over and over, sitting by the radio with cassette recorder in hand to make sure I hit the record button at the exact right time.

(P.S. It just came on Pandora.)
