This is quickly becoming another one of my favorite rhythmic tracks, it's from Floridian hip-hop newcomer Plies and features T-Pain called "Shawty." The track has "breezy" instrumentals. It was on high rotation when I listened to Rhythmic stations while vacationing down in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas this summer. wm.allaccess.com/allaccess/pileshaw.wma |

I'm tiring of all these popular crossover hip hop songs degrading women so much.

Apparently Plies was supposed to be the rapper on "I Wanna f*** You", but because he was being arrested at the time the song was recorded, they decided to substitute it with an underground version featuring Snoop Dogg.
Heh yeah, the lyrics in the verses are kinda... too much. It's kinda catchy I guess, but I'm so sick of T-Pain. Ugh.

Interesting. T-Pain wouldn't be so bad if he didn't use that goddamn vocoder on everything he sings on. It's best when used sparingly. That way you don't get sick of it. |

I'm tiring of all these popular crossover hip hop songs degrading women so much. Yes, I agree. It is the one thing that bothers me with the song. When I hear the unedited version it makes me cringe. I'm rather surprised that it crossed over. I don't see it getting far at mainstream radio, despite success at urban and rhythmic. I guess the melody, instrumentals and hook makes the track fascinating. It is unfortunate that an urban hit like this couldn't come correct with the entire package. |

It doesn't appeal to me as much as it must you, but your statement goes for pretty much 95% of mainstream hip hop anyway. |

It doesn't appeal to me as much as it must you, but your statement goes for pretty much 95% of mainstream hip hop anyway. I really want to further clarify what I said. When I meant "fascinating" I meant in the eyes of the radio stations (MD/PD) who are adding the track and giving it airplay to become the top 5 on the Rhythmic charts and top 40 on the pop charts. There should be some level of "fascination" associated with the song becoming that popular with radio and thus performing well on the charts -- not using it in a blanket way to represent everyone's interests and tastes. My statement was strictly in reference to radio/chart data and not to my personal opinion. I wasn't really speaking on your specific behalf and music interests. I really, really, really hope you didn't misinterpret me and not having any uptight feeling with what I said. I really don't want that and hope that it didn't cause you to be uncomfortable.  |

Oh, not at all! I didn't have that reaction whatsoever. Rest assured. Nevertheless, I'm sure you enjoy this particular crossover hip hop song more than I do. I'm sure I like some more than you do as well.  |
