I just wanna be....successful

OK...first of all, I want to say Happy New Year to all those who are reading this. This is a new year, new decade, alla that good jazz...and of course that means a new beginning of sorts. Many New Years resolutions will be made in the minds and out the mouths of people, but many people will (or maybe won't) be able to keep them. I know for sure, that the end result for these resolutions is to be successful; which is the reason why the first song of the new year for Music Hits the Spot is the above featured.

Now honestly, I wouldn't have expected a collabo between Trey Songz and Drake to be as hot as it is. But as always, a bangin beat would catch the attention when otherwise it would have gotten a real evil side eye when mentioned. Real talk, Drake brought a real flow to this song, at least IMHO. It gives me a feel of the old school music that once attracted me to hip-hop in the first place. I could see this on the soundtrack of one of the hood gangsta movies that we used to watch back in the day.

Now I'm not really the biggest Drake fan (or even Trey Songz for that matter :-P), but I'm a big fan of this duo on this song. Who's to say that they can't do it again...I don't believe it, but as for right now, I'm content with saying that this is up there on my top list of favorite collaborations. Drake brings a flow to this song that I believe is a personal testimony of sorts, which makes this song that much more likeable.

Yeah, I want things to go my way
But as of late, alot of shit been going sideways

Who's to say that you haven't had this type of day...or month...or even year. I know 2009 wasn't the best for me, and I'm praying that 2010 will bring more than what '09 did.

I want the money...money and the cars.
Cars and the clothes....I suppose
I just wanna be....I just wanna be
SUCCESSFUL

Maybe you don't want that same exact thing that Drizzy and Trey want...but in the end, don't we all want the same result: to be successful?

I know I do.

Straight Sympin

I know that whenever you think of hip-hop music, you don't think about those types of songs where you see folks "sprung", nose "wide open", and the such. I really don't think that I ever thought I'd hear about some dude who decided that this girl was the one who could have him trippin over his own two feet, and much less write about it. But you know what though, it's music like this that is the jam at times when you feelin like this, but you don't wanna admit it to your boys. Songs like this one:

LL Cool J - I Need Love
Uploaded by kateco59. - See the latest featured music videos.

LL wrote the original sympin song. I mean, seriously she musta had that "good good" because one minute he talkin bout he bad and such, then this nigga talkin

When I'm alone in my room
Sometimes I stare at the wall,
and in the back of my mind
I hear my conscious call
tellin me I need a girl
who's as sweet as a dove
for the first time in my life
I see I need love

OK....how does THAT work? Did she put it on this nigga somethin proper like? LOL. I know yall ladies know how to work it and put it down in the bedroom (well some of yall...lol), but dayum, it must be serious for him to put it out there like that.

Now T.I. took it to another level with Freak Though. Not only did he put it out there that he wanted to be with this girl, but apparently, she's the neighborhood hoe, and he tryin turn a hoe into a housewife (although he say he don't...but he lyin tho. lol)

TI - Freak Though - WITH LYRICS! @ Yahoo! Video

Seriously though, this nigga done lost his mind. I mean really, all your boys and your fam done ran through her and you still tryin to make her wifey? Yeah...uh...not quite. But hey, you like it, I'll tolerate it. I just hope that I don't fall into THAT gap. lol

Then if that ain't bad enough, after he done wifed up the girl, you then tell her that she can buy the bank out and "have whatever she like".



Like for real doe...I'm outta suggestions at this point. Some good friends and I had this phrase called "Tampabayin", where she could do anything she wanted to and get away with it. It sounds like T.I. is a member of this club, cause he believe "it ain't trickin if you got it." I call shenanigans on that line. LOL

Last but not least, we gots this one here:



Now she really know he sprung...cause he done told her she the best he EVER had. I mean seriously, even if she is, do you tell her that? Does that mean that you whipped from head to toe? That she can use you for her personal carpet? LOL. I know the women reading this are gonna have issues with that, but honestly, I think so. There are ways to show her that you feelin her without losing your manhood.

I hope that these negroes get it together for the men...we lookin real simp-lified right now. LOL
