On the remix, Trigga flips the male-bashing track to take a few shots at the ladies. I’m bout to talk a little crazy/ Make sure it’s no children around,” he says in the opener. “I’m usually really respectful/It’s just I had to do it.”
Trey uses the b-word over a dozen times, but gives a disclaimer toward the end of the song:
No disrespect at all to my women or them ladies that carry themselves
I don’t like these bitches
Know I ain’t talkin to you girl, me I’m on
Talkin bout these bitches
And I hate that I had to be so vulgar
Talkin bout these bitches
It’s just when I heard this shit
I mean like I felt like an incredible time to say what’s on my mind
Listen to both versions for yourself below. Tell us, who won?
Alicia Keys Sings About Zebras and Airplanes
Alicia Keys shares a special gift with fans this Valentine’s Day — new music!
The songstress dropped “Zebras and Airplanes,” an unreleased song for her Element of Freedom album days.
“I had never been overcome to write a song after seeing a painting before, but this one sent me to another place,” Alicia said of the Chloe Earl painting that inspired the record. “I felt it! The power, the freedom, the strength to gallop and fly. And I knew right at that moment I would write a song called ‘Zebras and Airplanes’ to describe that kind of love. The whole of you—body and soul—can gallop and fly!”
On her website, she added a special Valentine’s Day message to fans. “Love on yourself. Pamper yourself. Cherish yourself. Today and forever..I wish you the kind of love that comes from within and spreads all the way out!”
J. Cole is known for telling real-life stories in his music video and his new visual for self-produced record “She Knows” is no different.
Starring Rochelle Aytes and Harold Perrineau, this cinematic clip follows the life of a teenage boy who is drowning in a world full of secrets. He steals money from his father, ditches school and spends the day at the park drinking, smoking and skateboarding with his friend. After a police officer interrupts his ditch day, the young boy runs home to find his mother having an affair with none other than J. Cole. (This may be the origin of his “Mama, did you f— J. Cole?” line on “Trouble.”)
“She Knows” is the third video lifted from the Roc Nation rapper’s sophomore album Born Sinner. Check it out above and tell us your thoughts below.
