Rest in Peace Nate

"Never Leave Me Alone" - Nate Dogg

5:35 pm...

I was so distracted this morning that all I could do was post a video and try to work, but I knew I had to write something about why this has made such an impact on me. I was driving to work today and decided to give my iPod a rest. I usually hate the radio, but Power 106 was playing all the ol' skool gangsta rap I loved growing up. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Warren G., Korupt, Ice Cube, Nate Dogg, etc... But then I thought, "Wait a minute, they never play sh*t like this anymore unless...ok ok who passed away this time?" I was hoping to be wrong, but nowadays it's hard to listen to great stuff on the radio because music just isn't the same. It's catchy, but kinda stupid. And if it's any good, they play it out so much it starts to sound bad. So you can't blame a gal for thinking the worst case scenario and sadly, I was right.

Nate Dogg passed away late last night. I heard he suffered a few strokes before and unfortunately, wasn't in the best condition, but I just didn't think he'd die. He was so young. I'm not too far away from his age myself so again it all has me thinking. It's a matter of time and it comes down to what we do with this time that can change everything.

Lyrics:

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

They tell me that temptation, ooh, is very hard to resist
You tell me that you want me, I tried to hide my feelings, D-O-G's
ain't supposed to feel like this
You can call it what you want to, but I don't even know what it is
You've got me singin' in the morning, you bring me breakfast in my bed
and when it hurts you rub my head
I'll ask you one time only, baby, won't you be there when it's hectic
When I don't have a hit record (Never leave me alone)

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

I've traveled so many places, I've seen so many faces
There were times I didn't think I'd make it through (alone)
I went through so many phases that got me so many cases
Three strikes you're gonna' then what you gonna do
I guess I'll call my lady and tell her to kiss my baby
They tell me that crime is all I know how to do
Tell him his daddy's sorry, let him know all about me
There's one more thing I'd really like for you to do

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

Somebody was naughty when they snitched on me
And the judge just sentenced me to do about a century
I'm mobbin' through the county mainline
back in 9500 just tryin' to handle mine
Spittin' game at the homies about the good ol' days
As we try to pass time waiting for the chain to Chino
I see no reason to cry but I miss my baby boo
And my nigga Spanky too
It's true that the dirt I did from an O.G. to a snotty nose kid
Got me caught up in the rapture like maze days gone by
And real G's gon cry
But I try to walk the yard with my head to the sky
And hope my baby boo ain't f@$kin niggas on the outside
But what's the chance it ain't crackin
If I was out and she was in I'd probably be mackin
I can't lie
So I say I would now my girl in a world of playahood
A playa should show a nigga love and look our
But the niggas I know would probably turn your ass out
So keep away better yet stay away
And hope I get out one day, OK
But if I don't I guess this is home
My girl is trippin she got a block on the phone

Never Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
never leave me alone (Never leave me aloooone)
leave me alone (Never leave me alone)
Never leave Me alone

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 ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
