What they sayin'




This video is a perfect example of how gangstaness/blackness takes meaning away from a song. You hear the lyrics when a brutha spits it, and you say "damn thats tight!", but when you take it apart, word for word, you see just how crude a song can sound.

Nothing against the song or its artistes. I'm just saying, in the words of Outkast, "lean a little bit closer". Its fun to actually listen to a song, and not just hear it. Then, and only then, can you truly know what they sayin'.

Below is the original version.
