Just wanted to post on my favorite 10 joints of the moment in no particular order:
- Missy Elliott “Pass the Dutch”: Missy keeps dropping hits and this one definitely makes me go off. The only thing I’d say is lacking is that I have yet to hear a club edit where she doesn’t stop the music to talk and stuff like she does on the regular version.
- Rah Digga “Party & Bullshit ’03″: I’m supposed to be mad that she’s remaking my beloved B-I, right? Well, Just Blaze is a friggin’ animal and this beat is dangerous. If this song doesn’t make you move, you must be in a coma. I am loving her references to old house hits like “The Perculator” and “Beat That Bitch With a Bat”.
- Kelis “Milkshake”: The only thing that annoys me about this song is that it’s taken everyone a couple of albums to catch on to this girl. By the reaction of the public in general, good or bad, you’d think this was her first single ever. Wake up, world! She’s been making bangers for a minute!
- Chingy “Holiday Inn”: Okay, I am not supposed to be liking Chingy, but this song is too cute! D-O-Dizzle and Luda save this one for me, and I’ll leave it at that.
- 112 “Hot & Wet”: I have always been a fan of 112 and for me, this song doesn’t disappoint, especially the remix with (!) Chingy.
- Musiq “For the Night”: I’ve always said that Musiq ain’t as granola as people try to claim he is, but he still makes a catchy record. Anything vaguely disco, I can move to. I cannot wait for this album.
- Alicia Keys “You Don’t Know My Name”: I first heard this when I was at Venice Beach. Not realizing it was her, I just sat there transfixed while the song played. This song is really amazing. And to think, after her last album, I wanted to hate her so bad.
- Monica “Knock Knock”: Okay, I’m not supposed to be liking this song either. Aside from Monica rapping and Missy’s invasive ad-libs, it’s a pretty decent joint. I still have no intention of buying this CD.
- Ludacris “Stand Up”: This song is getting old, but I never get tired of it. I just luh me some Ludacris!
- Jay-Z “Change Clothes”: Oh big damn deal, another Hova song with Pharrell. I’ll admit, it’s pretty typical and non-spectacular, but it still rocks a bit. I haven’t heard it enough to what the hell it’s really about though. I don’t think he really talking about clothes. Do you know?
I loved Kelis’ 1st album. There was a lot of tight joints on that one.
missy is a bad ass chica and i love her, kelis i’ve heard a few of her songs and she’s great just hate i hadn’t heard them earlier, chingy i couldn’t stand at first with right thuurrr but i love me some holidae inn along with snoop and luda, musiq is my baby (my future husband) and i can’t wait for this album either, alicia keys yea i’m feeling her new song and i too didn’t know that was her at first and yes i can’t wait for her album to come out either, monica i don’t care for that song knock knock but i love the one with her and dmx it’s the ish (guess i can relate to that song), ludacris “stand up” yea it’s tiring but p hoppin is the bomb and he is a talented young man (yea my other future hubby), jay-z is good also.
you have some good choices here n0va.
Ummm, nOva, I love Kelis! She’s mine, so don’t try to act like you have been knowing her a long time. It was me and then Nas, and don’t you forget it!
) The only thing that I hate about Milkshake is that the beat kinda gets weird in the middle. It doesn’t flow smoothly, but I can’t explain it, yanno?
You know what, I put that Jigga on right now and I don’t really know what he is talking about either, but I will take a stab. I think he is trying to say that he wants the chick to come with him somewhere, so change clothes and let’s roll. I know he is also talking about making the chicks sweat their hair and clothes out on the dance floor and then he rolls into change clothes again. So maybe he is just talking about a few of the reasons that chicks might need to change their clothes when their rolling with him?? I dunno, just a thought
As for Chingy, anything he touches makes me want to vomit. He makes me wanna scratch my ears off! I love me some Luda and Snoop, but Chingy, yuckkkk!

…I think he’s talking about being able to change to fit into any situation that he comes across… Like how he’s changed styles throughout the years … Changed women … Changed his hustle … etc.
