LL Cool J feat Boys 2 Men “Hey Lover”

This is an epic tail of a guy seeing that gal & giving chase only to find out they haven’t even met or spoken to each other. This song was the #BluePrint for every dude who ever wanted to talk to “her”, but couldn’t muster up the courage. Oh boy, have I been that “dude” so many times 😩😫….

Speaking of #BluePrint this song was the first of its kind, then about 10yrs later the concept was redone by S Dot Carter on “Excuse Me Miss” heard on #BluePrint2, which almost made the list, and still might. Not all the way done yet.

LL had it going in this one with the ultimate story telling setting the tone; “It was Harlem at the Rucker, I seen ya with ya man”. Then, “they caught eyes for minute and that was that”. He just knew he was gonna take her from her man that “was his mission”. Hatin ass LL just couldn’t take the loss lol. Talkin about, her man “drank too much and smoked too many blunts”, #hater lol…

Randomly he saw her other places like in the mall on the “pay phone about to make a call” (ha old school), damned near seemed like lightweight stalking by the Queens MC.

But at the end he completely bodied it by saying all the things he wanted to do like “tongue her down with French vanilla ice cream” and take her to “distant lands” was, and I quote, “a fantasy that won’t come true, we never even spoke and ya man swear he love you”. So, he kept all his feelings inside and kept his dream alive until the right time.

***Cue Boys 2 Men for the sultry hook*****

“This is more than a crush”

#Top10HipHopLoveSongs #4 

Right after I graduated from high school in 1999 the Mighty Mos Def released this hood misguided love story, Ms Fat Booty.

Before he new her name, he “asked her to dance and she was like, yo I’m leaving now”. She knew the homie though, so Mos finally got to meet Sharisse.

But, after “weeks of dating, late night conversation in the crib heart racing trying to be cool and patient”, he finally realized the energy flipped and it didn’t look like they was gone make it.

Time passed and “3 months she call, I feel I’m runnin a fever, 6 months Im tellin her I desperately need her, 9 months flu like symptoms when she not around, I need more than to knock it down, I’m really tryin to lock her down”

I guess he was sick with love, eh!?

Mos was honest, told her what he wanted. She told him “commitment was something she can’t manage” then he saw her at the shake club “with some bangin ass Asian playin lay it down and lick me up.”

Moral of the story; expectations are wack, just let it shit flow organically. And, if the “ass is so fat you can see it from the front” be careful.

But like the sample says “You’re breath on my shoulder keeps reminding me, that’s it’s too soon to forget you. It’s too late to be free can’t you see…. One step ahead is a step too far away, from you….”
