Gotta Love That Ignorance




"Your car is like your private little place where you're free to be ignorant" (Phill Boogie) There is so much truth to that statement. I HATE the radio! Nowadays its like they don't give you the option of not liking a song. In one hour I guarantee you Beyonce will play twice. Its just a fact. With that said, there are at least three artists that I can count on for an extra ignorant song but somehow they end up on my iPod. Beyonce, Soulja Boy (not actually on the iPod but I'll prove my point with this guy), and Plies. First up, Beyonce. I loved her in Destiny's Child but when she branched out I wasn't really feeling her. She is the Queen of ignorant songs that make your booty shake. I don't know how she does it but after a week or two I find myself downloading her stuff. "Put a Ring On It" and "Diva" are like the worst to me lyrically. But I can't deny those beats just get you in the right mood. And when it comes down to it the song is nothing more than 3 minutes and 30 seconds of a repeated phrase. Sorry if you love Beyonce. I'm not hating on her (too much at least lol) but she has officially created a trend of ignorance in her music. I will have to add that if you're going to talk about women and ignorant music, you absolutely have to mention Trina. I'd like to add some of her lyrics but I try really hard to keep things PG on this blog. However, if you've never actually heard the things she says, just imagine hradcoreporn for your ears with a whole lot of bass to make you forget what she said was just straight nasty. (Her and Trick Daddy did do their thing back in the day tho lol) Second, Plies. This guy probably says the most ignorant and offensive things but over top of those beats with a little T-Pain or Ne-Yo in the background and I just tend to forget.
"I jus gave her a nickname, it's wet-wet,
Cause when we finish, she mess up all my bed set" -- Bust It Baby
Why is that an okay thing to say at all?! Grant somebody out there is saying that is my jam lol. It's like you just can't escape it. I won't spend too much time on Plies. He honestly speaks for himself. "Soon as I seen her, s**t told her I'd pay for it" -- Shawty feat T-pain

Last but not least, Soulja Boy. This man is a genius in his own right. Nobody in this world can deny "Crank That", "Yahhh!", and "Donk" aren't the simpliest and most ignorant songs out there. But the thing that sets Soulja Boy a part from the rest is the fact that ignorant songs are what his career is built on. He knows that there's money in ringtone sells and the best way to accomplish that is say something catchy......over and over and over again. It never fails once again. Some Soulja Boy comes on and people will lose their minds. Its amazing. While we're singing "She got a donk" and telling people to watch us yuell, Soulja Boy is taking it all to the bank preparing to retire long before he's 30.

That's just my little rant on a few ignorant songs out there. Feel free to share more if you're ashamed of loving them lol
