This is one of those jams that I hear on my Boston hip hop station (JAMN 94.5) but that I've never heard on KDAY back in LA.
I've decided that Akon has pretty much been designed for me exclusively. That sounds self-important and selfish, but I don't quite know how it couldn't be true. Everything he does is so laughable yet awesome. That's Molls-status. That's my caliber.
Akon. Email me. We should hang out.
My mom loves my mix CDs and I usually make her a ton when I'm home for her to play at her store (her one request this year was "less people saying the N-word, please." I guess that drives away customers...) but I don't have any music on their machine and my burner is out of business right now...
So I did what I'm always telling you guys to do. I went into my Google Reader and I downloaded all my favorites jams from this blog. Then I had my friends send over some choice tracks. This is what I was able to put together. Hopefully it passes the test:
Some magic shit happens:
P.S. Yes! I'm getting all your awesome t-shirts... keep sending 'em my way.
If this song comes on your iPod and you don't feel like the flyest bitch walking the earth, well then I don't know what to do for you. I would suggest alone time on the floor of your bathroom with a hand mirror or something, but that's perverted and not even something I'd do. Sorry, I'm shy like that. But I do feel pretty fucking dope when I listen to this song. I don't even have to be wearing some awesome outfit I've put together. Jeans and a t-shirt, I still feel fly as shit.
Yeah, today's an awesome day to sit around watching soundtrack music videos for Fake Otis Redding songs.
In seventh grade, my friend Susanne and I put on tank tops, short shorts and rollerblades while listening to this song and I'm pretty sure we both noted how cool we felt in the moment. My mom made me change before I left the house, but still... this was a powerful jam for those few minutes.
This is what you need to know about this song. It's obviously a cover of an Outkast song, but in addition to that, there used to exist a five minute video on my computer of me hanging out the window of Alexis' car, drunk off my ass singing this at the top of my lungs and trying to artistically capture the moment.
I've decided that if this song comes on when you're really drunk or really happy or driving with some friends in the car to some place far away or at some sort of dress up clothes function similar to the prom but for adults and you can't find it in you to just like, FEEL this song for a second, then you're totally fucking dead inside.
We're all always in the wrong place at the wrong time kinda sorta, ya know? Sometimes that places is a van and the time is when someone's trying to buy guns out of it illegally.
I just think it's a shame that man who can create such a solid jam can have such a hard time. His jamitude should exempt him from jail.

Thanks to the people that sent me this song after I requested it on Twitter. You guys are the best ever, for reals.
You see, this is one of my favorite artists singing one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Who cares if Lily's a trash mouthed drunk and Squeeze kinda sorta sucks? They are also both the best, and so with a little help from a couple of kind people, I had to find it and bring it to the people who read these semi-retarded musings (that's you!) It's that special in it's own "sucky on paper" kind of way.
