Today was such an epic day for me. I don't know how many people appreciate alone time, but I'm one of those people. If you follow me on twitter, you know my oldies on the surround sound was turned up to ignorant levels all day. With the likes of Ms. Tina Turner, Ms Knight and her Pips, The great Betty Wright, The Magnificent Michael Jackson and the Incomparable Prince. Oh yeah and the former Mrs. Brown (Ha) Whitney Houston. I am one of the few people that actually have a sound track to my life. I am only 30, but I do have about a handful of songs that define my childhood, teens, and twenties. I remember my mom and me singing and dancing to After the Pain by Betty Wright when I was all of 6. My mom still sticks her tongue out when she is feeling her music and dancing. LOL. My first Homecoming dance was in 11th grade, where the DJ ran back Can I get a at least 100 times that night. My twenties were defined by one word Satisfaction. Eve said it all in one line “Separate the girls from the women and I'm winning". My 30s have yet to be determined. I love music. All kinds. From Wu Tang to Elton John. To Mary J Blige right down to Queen. I think that Freddie Mercury was THE best song writer. EVER! He made a 4 act opera into a 4 minute song. If you aren't a fan of Queen, shut the fuck up because you all know they songs. You might not know its Queen, but if I played you a queen song, you would sing along. Prince is the epitome of Greatness! I think El De barge is amazingly poetic. And as a writer, if I had the chance to work with any other writer right now today, I would pick Jermaine Dupri. That nigga still cashing Kris Kross checks. Not to mention JE, Xscape, Bow Wow, oh a lil chick named Mariah Carey-Cannon! The Dream is a very close 2nd runner up. I LOVE MUSIC! However I am partial to my turf. "We Rep the West". Side note yall remember when Ice Cube use to write Easy E rhymes? LOL I used to able to tell who wrote and produced every track I heard. Eric Sermon, DJ Quik, Pharell, Rza, BattleCat. Them BattleCat tracks though? If you have never skated to Kurupt "We can freak it" You aint SHIT! LOL even when it comes to that sex sound track. If you have never had unprotected sex to Forever My Lady by Jodeci, That nigga don't love you. (I wanted to type something else in place of that last line, but I would have been all kinds of wrong for that! LMAO)
Music is life! It defines a culture, a nation, and a person’s sense of self. I think your personal sound track says a lot about you. The songs you choose to high light special events in your life speak volumes. For instance my bedroom sound track includes Tupac. Dont Judge! It starts off slow with the likes of Prince or R Kelly. Maybe some Jodeci and Jagged Edge. Then some mid tempo in the middle with Beyonce and Tupac. Then finish off with something with some bass that knock. Think I aint heard of that by Slim Thug, or 99 problems (Yeah that’s me). Whether you throw on a rap cd to fuck or the Love Jones soundtrack to make love to, may I make just one request? I don’t like getting people business, but no music sucks. And not the good suck. No one wants to hear heavy breathing and bed squeaking. Make the bed room one of those special events. Feel the mood. See what happens. I bet your partner will appreciate the effort.
