I've been meaning to talk to everybody for awhile about something. What in the heck is going on with poppy rap music these days?!? I used to listen to it all the time - I would play it in my classroom since it was kind of a happy medium that everyone could tolerate. (Well, MOSTLY everyone.) So I used to stay really current and would know all of the songs and actually like some of them. You may or may not find several on my ipod. But now that I'm not working with 15-18 year olds, I don't listen to it that often. However, for some reason my radio was on 96.7 today on the way home from work today and I was reminded what I wanted to blog about.
Let's start with this:
"Sexy Bi#ch" by David Guerra....
"She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before
Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood hoe
I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl
Without being disrespectful"
Um, sorry David, but you're a little late on the whole "being disrespectful" thing. I appreciate your sentiments in regards to not wanting to compare her to the neighborhood hoe, but seriously.
How about the class-act himself - Lil' Wayne:
"My Room Is The G Spot,
Call Me Mr. Flintstone,
I Can Make Your Bed Rock (oooh..)
I-I-I I Can Make Your Bed Rock(oh ho oh...)
I-I-I I Can Make Your Bed Rock Girl"
Lil', listen to me. (May I call you Lil?)
A.) The people listening to your music probably don't even know who Fred Flintstone is, unless they still make Flintstone vitamins.
B.) Your room is the G Spot? Did you read these lyrics before you sang them?
C.) I don't know much about street cred, but I'm guessing that this song does NOTHING for yours.
And finally, I heard a mother put her 3 year old on to request the song "LOL Smiley Face" by Trey Songz. The child was singing "lol smiley face, lol smiley face" and I was all, "how cute!" Then I heard the song:
"Shorty just text me, say she want to sex me
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
Shorty sent a twitpic saying come and get this,
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face"
Um, mother of said 3 year old? Perhaps you could throw on a Dora or Backyardigan's cd in lieu of teaching your child about sexting. Then again, I'm not a mom, so maybe I'm way off base.

- "Go shorty, it's your birthday. We gon' party like it's yo birthday.
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday..." You know the song, you either loved it or hated it. I loved it, still do. I don't really have much in common with 50 Cent, but I can relate to this line: "I'm that cat by the bar toasting to the good life." Because all in all, life IS good. I realize that I live a semi-charmed kind of life, so this blog is here to celebrate my blessings.
Disclaimer: It is important to mention that there is a difference between being shallow and being stupid, and I will admit that at times I fall into the "shallow" category. Not on purpose, I just really like things that lots of other people find annoying.

I told my kids that I listen to techno and house music when I'm working so they said, 'Go listen to David Guetta! He's awesome!'
I did. I'm ashamed they thought I'd be okay with him.
(When I say 'my kids' I mean 'my students,' of course. Mo and Ellie are still quite happy listening to the Wheels on the Bus.
They'll always be your "kids." Mo and Ellie are your children.
Gross.
I used to listen to the radio all the time, now it's mostly just my iPod. Like you, I knew all the songs and now when I get in the car and the radio is on I frequently say, "What in the hell is this??!!" It makes me feel old - but whatever.
You forgot "Stanky Leg" That's a good one too. WTH?!
I do think "Cupid Shuffle" is a bit infectious. Plus it has a dance and that's always fun!
Cupid Shuffle is on my ipod. It makes me happy.
Fortunately, I don't believe I've heard "Stanky Leg" yet.
