hip hop love
As I was driving home from hip hop class tonight, I realized I need to come clean about something. I have been hesitant to share this news, but the time has come.
I love hip hop music.
Why is this a secret? Because I probably shouldn't love it.
Here are some reasons why:
1) First of all, their names. It would be hard for me to take anyone seriously when their names are Soulja Boy Tell Em, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Flo Rida, or Chamillionaire. And let's not forget Puff Daddy, I mean P. Diddy, I mean just Diddy now.
2) Their song content. Alcohol? I'm not a big drinker, so when they talk about drinking "petrone" with their homies, I get lost. Clubbing? I like dancing but I'm not a clubber, don't really understand that world. The way they talk about women? Don't even get me started.
3) Their videos. This kind of goes with the last point. I don't even watch their videos because I know I'll see a bunch of half-naked chicks groping at Ludacris while he sings about drinking petrone with his homies in da club. See how it all fits together?
4) Dang it, I'm a white girl. What am I doing, listening (and enjoying) hip hop music? Even when I'm in my hip hop class, I sometimes struggle with feeling too white. Am I a poser?
But even with these reasons, I still find myself flipping to our local hip hop station when I'm in my car. Why? Is this a phase?
Until I get to the bottom of this, I leave you with this fun website. It gives you your very own hip hop name. Have fun.
Sincerely,
Monika Vista (that's what it gave me...)

I think they mean Petron- Tequila. And a lot of country singers work it into their lyrics as well.
I love country for all the same reasons, and probably shouldn't.

Dear Mi$$y Brown, Foxxy Sixx, Vitta Love, and Latoya Nasty,
We have the coolest hip hop names EVER. We should form a group. We could be the new Danity Kane.
I love it too! Always have, always will. And confession; my two year old bumps to it too!

I am with Jody, Patron tequila. I must say...as the occasional beverage consumer, it is my favorite. However, it is too expensive to keep on hand. When it is offered in an inexpensive beverage, I'm gettin' it.

I have to say...not a big fan of hip hop. Maybe my students caused too much damage. :) I truly believe they will become deaf before me. I can hear their music through their earbuds from across the room.
