We can get caught up with catchy hooks and banging beats. I honestly have to listen to the song in its entirety to figure out what the artist is talking about.Simply because I'm focusing on the sound. Hearing a hot beat will make you want to get up and dance or go out and party. In most cases its the sound that draws you in. But what about the LYRICS? 
My sons love music just a much as I do. If its not on television, radio or coming from their friends they search for it. The other day they asked me to download "Move That Dope". The look on my face was like Not!

They Couldn't understand why I said no. Given the name of the song, that was enough for me. I took it a step further and goggled the lyrics.    http://rapgenius.com/Future-move-that-dope-lyrics  I scratched my head and thought Why? These artist has so many young and Mature fans that are influenced by their music. Why Give them something to set them back? There's the ongoing debate that we as parent have control of what we let our children hear and see.This is true. One minute we are encouraging them to listen to Pharell's song "Happy". But have to hide a song like Move That Dope" that he's featured in. When I gave my boys the reason why that song will not be downloaded the first thing out their mouths was. " But I thought Pharell was good?". Can't Wait Until The Day We Do Better Because We Know Better. 

Lauryn L Boogie Hill; Mic Check

 So the other day I told you guys about Lauryn Hill and her mini me, (daughter) Selah hitting the stage together. Lauryn Hill, we're ready for you to do a major tour? We miss your voice, your style and the knowledge you deliver. There are too many critics discrediting her voice.   Her flow is still there if not better. Lauryn can still move the crowd. From the videos I've come across, she still got it. There are a few dates in June to see L Boogie but not enough. We need this to happen asap. In the meantime, we'll settle for what we come across on the web, and in our playlist.

Good Kisser

Call me a freak if you want to, but the first time I heard this song I was hooked. Usher has done it, yet again. The beat alone is nothing to play with. It makes you want to stop what you're doing and go get you some. A very sexy tune I must say.

  I have to hear it a few time before moving on to the next track. I can see my club goers looking at each other from across the room hearts racing, this song will give the guy with the weakest game the confidence to approach a female. Meanwhile ladies, I know we'd play into it. What's wrong with a tease? Being a flirt hasn't hurt anyone.  Who said having responsible fun is a crime? Now for you ladies that have a man at home, all I can say is hmm... What's wrong with pleasing your man? If your lacking in this department put this song on. 
These words right here should encourage you ....

 I can't keep my control

Every time that I see you hit that floor
Just keep on givin' it to me, I want mine
Just come on baby, just give it to me, give it up to me

Imagine its your man singing this to you. This song will do it for you.
