Yeah. I’ve got a ton of them. Songs on my hard drives and ipod that some folks whose opinion I respect would probably be mortified at learning I love.

But if a song hits for you, it hits. That’s just how it is! You just can’t pick the song that grabs you! Its like love! It chooses you!

My latest guilty pleasure by my undercover Haitian brother, Usher. Sak pase, neg!

I wonder if they had Lambi at the wedding

He’s become a papa and has gotten married and divorced since his last “good” album (uh…did you hear/like Here I Stand? Didn’t think so. I did not want to make love in that club. Ew.). It is a safe bet to say he’s got a lot of material for his new album coming out in March, Raymond vs. Raymond.

So what do you do when you are fresh off a divorce and you’re young and wealthy and famous? Menage. a. Trois. As many as possible. Stipulate that any chick that wants to be ‘f*ckin with you’ gotta f*ck with you…and another chick.

So why do I like this song? The damn production on the track. You would think that anyone using Stevie Wonder in this day and age would be committing the worst form of sacrilege in my eyes but for some reason IT WORKS FOR THIS SONG. Why? I don’t know! Actually I do. Polow Da Don did a smart (possibly economical?) move using synths to recreate what he lifted [Living for the City] instead of just looping the original because he really creates something much bigger in one’s ears that way.

Second marriage pic? Perhaps!

Don’t get me wrong. The song isn’t perfect. I just cannot ride w/ Nicki Minaj just yet. Her voice is annoying to me. So are her odd modulations. I am unable. When I hear her voice all I can imagine is she probably pops her gum. Loudly. However, she is the newest chick on the scene so not putting her on a song would be dumb. I’m still trying to keep an open mind and ear for now. Listening to a mix on Hot 97 the other afternoon had me hearing what I *hope* was a solo Minaj song (I mean really can she get her own song?) and she actually sounded pretty good on it.

So yeah. Little Freak. A song that probably didn’t merit this much analysis but I did it anyway because I like it. Do you?
