iPod Shuffle: Lauren Hill – Doo Wop (That Thing)

L-Boogie is the coldest; the game is truly not the same without her being in the fold, seriously. On my other site we posted a blog called “Why Hip-Hop Needs Female Rappers” and this song is a perfect example of it. Songs like Lauren Hill’s Doo Wop is what the game is currently missing, even today the song feels more relevant than ever. The game needs female MC’s spitting relevant lyrics that relate to what’s really going on in the times from a perspective only they can deliver.

L Boogie goes hard, from the first verse where she to air it on sista’s that get caught up in the game without even realizing it to the second verse where she completely breaks down the nigga with his priorities out of place, the "poppin' bottles, living at his moms house, still trying to act hard while ducking child" nigga. This song as well as the entire album The Miseducation Of Lauren Hill is an example of hip-hop excellence; being a reminder of Hip-Hops past glory days while at the same being a tutorial to the next generation of MC’s hoping to bring the game back to its prominence. Next Generation of MC’s good luck….but until then we always have L Boogie.

Here’s a few excerpts from the Doo Wop (That Thing):

“It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamin's
You act like you ain't hear him
then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down
then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin’ him
If you did it then, then you’d probably fuck again
Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem”

And the verse she dropped on the men is like 5 or 6 niggas I know right now (Damn!):

“The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Tims than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend, popping yang like you got yen,
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Crystal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face men, claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids then
They facing a court case when the child's support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men, the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men”

Act like you know.
