"Hoe-Remover"

"Ain't Too Proud To Beg" - TLC

Ok, so this isn't the best audio recording of this song, but unfortunately, the playlist only had just this one available. I could've picked the many other TLC songs that I love, but why this one? Well, if not for obvious reasons, it's because this was their first release into the mainstream. And I have to say, I'm so grateful they came out when they did.

They made it fashionable not to be a hoe. They flaunted their sex appeal without having to strip down to nothing. Dressed in baggy pants and XXL t-shirts, they taught young women how to speak up and say what they want: A good man, a free spirit, a strong mind, a warm heart, loyal friends, and not to mention, hot safe sex! Sportin' a condom over her left eye, rapper "Lefteye" (R.I.P.) wasn't afraid to step outside of the box and in your face with the reality in which we live in. And with T-Boz and Chilli singing harmoniously about accepting who we are, loving our bodies, and appreciating our health, their music carried with it more than just a good beat. It preached an important message of protecting the one person that should matter most: Me.

Lyrics:

Yo mic check 1-2, 1-2
We in the house
Yeah come on
1992 TLC kickin' off in your Mutha...
So ya best be duckin' fast
Yo T-Boz is ya being a boss
Chilli what's up wit' dat sauce?
Dis is it
Yo "T" step on that (shhh)

I ain't 2 proud, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
Thinkin' short of what you got
Better get it while it's hot
Ain't no better love than your own
Unmistakin' urge 2 be sexin' with society
How can you be happy alone

When I need 2 feel love
Why wait 4 so long
Cuz I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
4 something that I call my own
And I want 2 be touched
And feeling so much see cause
Everybody needs some good lovin'

Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
If the lovin' is strong then he got it goin' on and
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
2 inches or a yard rock hard or if it's saggin'
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
So it ain't like I'm braggin' just join the paddywagon cause
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg

Screaming' loud and holdin' sheets
Scared that you'll be called a freak
Gotta let it go while you can
Ain't 2 proud 2 beg you see
Cuz my man belongs 2 me
And I know that he understands

Yo Left Eye kick that rap

Realize the realism of reality treats
Us both the same
Cuz satisfaction is the name of this game
So I choose to explain it's evident
Left Eye don't mean the rest of my body is irrelevant
In other words let's refresh your head
About pullin' down curtains and breakin' da waterbed
Yeah I like it when you (kiss)
Both sets of lips
Oooh on the TLC tip

I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (I ain't 2 proud 2 beg)
What I call my own
Just you and me (uh)
Hey

I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
TLC isn't 2 proud 2 beg
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
