Spit Hot Fire: The-Dream – Put It Down…

November 20, 2009

Anybody remember Diddy’s group Da Band from season 1.6(?) of Making The Band? If you do, I’m sure you remember Dylan Dilinjah, the reggae rappin’, pro-active deprived, self-proclaimed spitta of hot fire. Well, due to the fact that lately lyrics have taking a backseat to production in both rap and R&B, I’ve decided to start a new type of post called “Spit Hot Fire”. These posts will highlight some of the wack and senseless lyrics that can be found in today’s music. Btw the level of wackness will be rated, but I’m not using stars, instead I’m using “Dylans”. More Dylans is not a good thing, so basically a 5-Dylan rating means the lyrics were just unbelievably terrible. Movin’ on, I present the first Spit Hot Fire artist, The-Dream…

The-Dream – Put It Down

Hot Fire lyrics include…

“I’m all up on you like a monster truck,
I’m all up on you like ‘shawty what’s up,
I’m all up you like a white tee on a thug
If you hear me baby put your hands up”

“Oh if they ask you can I sing like Usher say ‘No’
But I can make you sing like Mariah..Ooooo
If they ask you do I dance like Chris tell them ‘No’
But as much rubbing as we do I could start a fire
Hey…bring the water”

So yeah, he definitely can’t sing like Usher or dance like Chris Brown, but he can write lyrics like R. Kelly. Well in his defense, white tees are standard thug attire, so he’s not really reaching there. But I really don’t get the whole monster truck part at all. I mean it’s not like I didn’t play with them as a kid, but somehow I still failed to understand this metaphor…maybe I’m just slow. Then there’s the rubbing and starting a fire part, which in all honesty sounds like pure pain. Despite the fact that I actually like this song I have to give it 2-Dylans…

Some people may be asking the question “what has Dylan been up to?” Well that’s a dumb ass question, because an artist of his caliber does nothing but spit hot fire which can be seen and heard in this video. WARNING NSFW: Due to really out of shape “video vixens” doing splits, handstands and other random poses.

What? You thought that was it? More Fire! More Fire! Rude Boy! (smh…this shit is terrible, damn you youtube)

The-Dream – Walkin’ On The Moon…

May 28, 2009

…featuring Kanye West.

Teddy Ruxpin aka The Hamburglar The “radio killa” missed the mark with this video, it fits the song but for some reason it just seems wack. Maybe it’s me but lately Hype Williams’ videos don’t seem like they’re worth the million dollars he’s been known to charge.

Why do videos seem so boring nowadays…remember when people use to be excited about “World Premieres”?
