The two sound like they’re flailing, like strangers cosplaying as a sexually confident couple. The lyrics are unabashedly sexual, which isn’t bad in and of itself, but the beat is too flimsy and inert to make any of it convincing. Chalk it up to the tough barrier to entry for female rappers, or the general public’s bad taste, but “Ride Good” is a bottom of the barrel mid-2010s R&B duet that would feature Jeremih or a Jeremih-like singer. Joshua Minsoo Kim: It’s inherently lame that LightSkinKeisha made a middling R&B track that ended up being considerably more successful than any of her rap singles. This has sanded down all that made her fun and youthful and has turned her into another entry in the crowded lane of female R&B singers.Īlfred Soto: Times have changed, so why stick LightSkinKeisha behind an R&B performer whose”hope you can handle a stick shift, babe” is an example of his marvelous wit? In the last couple of years, LightSkinKeisha made a lot of songs that honestly weren’t that different from each other sonically, but she stood out for her playfulness. Azealia Banks, Dai Burger) or women who were part of local scenes like Chicago drill. We’ve not done a good job creating ways for women to take other paths, and it comes to show how the industry as a whole has seemingly organ rejected attempts to positively cover the wave of women who got famous rapping on the internet (e.g. Pharrell WilliamsĬrystal Leww: It’s 2019 and I’m shocked that most women who are rapping still somehow end up releasing a sultry R&B hit as part of their “commercial” rollout.
Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment.I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES.Email (song suggestions/writer enquiries).After all, Elton said it himself-this is my song, isn’t it? Then at least I’d have some cash on hand to go pick up extra ice when certain people forget to bring any. Is there some kind of exchange policy?Īt the bare minimum, I think I’m entitled to at least a cut of the royalties. He sings about not having much money and the song is the best he can do? Excuse me?! The man has “Lion King” money! Speaking of which, if I was getting a song, I’d prefer “Hakuna Matata.” Give me that one. I’m not a materialistic person-truly, all I expected was ice (didn’t get it, had to run out in the middle of my housewarming party to pick some up)-but, if I am exchanging gifts with Elton John, he has to do better than a song. I didn’t really want the song, but if I’m getting it I don’t want to have to share it with a terrier that just turned seven.Īnd they don’t even try to keep this little scam they’re running hush-hush! They’re, like, “Oh, you can tell everybody that this is your song.” Don’t they realize that we’re going to catch on once we get to talking? How many bar fights have broken out between people claiming ownership of this song? It’s absolutely reckless. Secret Santa gift swap? “Your Song.” Engagement party? “Your Song.” Dog’s birthday party? “Your Song.” It’s honestly insulting. I started asking around, and apparently these two pull this stunt wherever they go. Hell, he made it into the title! So it’s certainly not like they’re against putting names in their songs-just ask Susie, Bennie, or Tony Danza. Listen, I normally would never look a gift horse in the mouth, but, like, it didn’t even have my name in it. I had to stop my party playlist, and “Love Shack” had just come on, so it really disrupted the whole vibe. They sort of just looked at each other, and then were all, like, “Oh, actually, we got you something else,” and went over to the piano. I said to them, “Hey, where’s the ice?” when they walked in, because I was really in a bind and they’d promised they’d bring it. I mean, they could have even brought a cheap bottle of wine, I wouldn’t have cared. Now, I understand that their gift is their song, but that wasn’t really what I had expected as a housewarming present when I invited Elton John and Bernie Taupin to a party at my new home, especially after I specifically asked them to bring ice.ĭon’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely tune, but it didn’t do me much good at a housewarming party where I was completely out of ice. Most people assume that it was some kind of grand romantic gesture-but that simply is not the case. That being said, it’s not what you might think. Elton John’s “Your Song” was, in fact, written for me. I hate to make a big fuss over this, but I was explicitly told that I can tell everybody-so, yes, this is my song.
