This song is another real gem (and by real gem, I mean NOT a gem). In the tradition of varying between serious analyzing and joke analyzing, I've decided to tackle Fabolous's popular song about buying women whatever they want (presumably to get them to sleep with you). While the song may attract people with its catchy-ness and popular style, I don't think anyone is really listening to the lyrics. Allow me to show you what I mean...
Song # 7. "Throw it in the Bag" by Fabolous (feat. The Dream).
Fabolous - Throw It In The Bag (YouTube)
[Intro: Fabolous & (The Dream)]
(You already know what it is), We got anotha one boy, (ATL), (Just throw it in the bag), Wassup Brooklyn, wassup son, wassup Fabo, ay, man, i got that black amex wit me, aka that throw it the bag card, yeah!
Talking intro with the Dream and Fabolous, explaining how much they're willing to spend to get laid (they have Black AmEx cards...that means no limit...suckaaaa).
[Verse 1: The-Dream]
Now I know you aint over there starin at my girl
Yea I know you aint over there starin at my girl
Nigga I know you dont call yourself hollarin at my girl
I know you dont call yourself holarin at my girl
i keep hittin tha baton, Louie vuttion
gucci down to her feet, Yup just like me.
Im the one, with them ones.
Fuck the price on the tag
just throw it in the bag.
The dream throws out a short first verse, saying he hopes you aren't staring at his girl (but makes no threats), then, he claims that she rocks the finest things, just like him. The point? I don't know. The dream is a pretty popular RnB singer, but I've always been unimpressed by his random songs and goofy appearances on songs like this.
[Chorus: The-Dream]
Un-huh un-huh un-huh
just throw it in the bag
Un-huh un-huh un-huh
Just throw it in the bag
The main theme of the chorus is uh-huh-ing and telling the girl to throw it in the bag (meaning you can buy whatever you want)...this song is a pure rip off (thematically) of T.I.'s 'Whatever You Like', which, despite being about the same subject matter, is a significantly better song (mainly due to the beat and layout).
[Verse 2: Fabolous]
Look at price tags
where they do that at
Heard that in ATL
When im in ATL
Just ask my baby girl
I treat that lady well
He treats his lady well, but other than that I didn't take away anything from these lines...are the price tags in Atlanta (ATL) better or something?
Ain't nothin soso
and i know JD Well
A couple benzs, black white gray C.L.
Got niggas lookin like, did we miss a mercedes sale?
Don't wonda what I do, Just know they pay me well.
They keep that gucci and that louie on my laby l's
Thats the way we feel
Must be nice man
You wit the right man
You aint gotta price scan, or ask how much
He doesn't do so-so, only expensive and awesome. He then name drops (er, initial drops) Jermain Dupri's name (a long time friend/collaborator) before boasting about his (multiple) Mercedes CL's that people notice (and wish they had but can't afford...). He buys Gucci and Louie Vatton because he can, and then he boasts that his girl is clearly with the right guy (because he can spend money on her). This is the whole reason I hate this song. It's continuing the perpetuation of wealth over love, and sex over intimacy. It's turning hip hop into an outlet for commercialism, and it is the worst, most superficial kind.
Now what i look like
Son im from brooklin, what it look like
You get it, cause i got it
I got it, so you get it
Do like Luke say, dont stop get it get it
Mami do the speedie
Daddy do tha duffle
Bag full of chips
We aint talkin ruffles
He drops a hometown call-out, proclaiming he's from Brooklyn, and then asks where else he would be from (as if there's no other cities)...Then he drops a reference to Luke's "I Wanna Rock"...for no apparent reason. Then he drops a couple dances and claims he has many chips (money, not ruffles, as he puts it so eloquently).
[Chorus: The-Dream]
[Verse 3: Fabolous]
See i know what ima tell her
The same thing that the bank robber told the teller
Just throw it in the bag
Thats the way it suppose to be
A real nigga posed to help you out with the groceries
Just throw it in the bag
He's saying that to be a real man (altho he doesn't say man), you need to be able to pay for things for a woman. While this may be partially true, and certainly chivalrous, it is also misogynistic, overtly sexist, and only self-applicable. Most artists consider their audience when making records, but Fabolous apparently only considers himself. What is important to him is important to you, as far as I can tell. i do like the teller line, though (and I'm not sure why).
Paper or plastic, its safer to ask it
So dent that nigga, i will pay for the casket
That remy mar got him spittin plenty bars
Broke ass nigga couldnt buy the mini bar
So get with loso
he aint got to know so
Such a gentlemen dozen bottles of that rose mo
Bag reference, followed by a recommendation from Fabolous to dump the poor man and start chilling with Fab. Remy Mar/Mini Bar line showing how Fab lives versus how the people who would listen to his music live is good, but simultaneously fucked up. He also points out you can keep your man, and still hang out with Fabolous. He'd never know AND you'll be treated well. Gentlemen, find your girlfriends. Before Fab does.
Oh you gotta man, well u need a richa one
meet me in the parking lot, the place say get u one
Meet me at the register
Im there on the regular
These niggas price checkin
you can help them in a second
As we proceed to give you what you need
Like we breakin' down the weed
Shorty just throw it in the bag!
You have a man? Why not get a rich one? Well, what if he IS rich, Fabolous? Ugh, then he ends with mediocre lines and metaphors (weed+bag and price checking).
[Chorus: The-Dream]
[Bridge: Fabolous]
Everybody do the throw it in the bag
Ay do the Throw it in the bag
Everybody do the throw it in the bag
Ay do the Throw it in the bag
Everybody do the throw it in the bag
Ay do the Throw it in the bag
A repetitive chorus gives way to a repetitive bridge and then goes back to chorus before the song FINALLY ends.
[Chorus: The-Dream]
Anaylsis: In the recent tradition of hip hop, Fabolous has made a commercially viable song, with a convoluted message that also comes complete with its own goofy ass dance.
Fabolous' Moral: Money wins all. Women who are with broke fools, should be with fabolous.
Real Moral: Fuck all of ya'll. Buy my music, make me richer, ensure this song is true. Somewhere, Fabolous is counting his money, and buying some girl's "love".

"The Way I Am" by Eminem...I don't care, it's just the way he is.
I was going to analyze Lupe's 'Dumb It Down', but it's pretty cryptic. I got the meaning of the song, as did most people, but it's VERY hard to analyze line by line. I plan on doing it sometime soon, though.
Soooo...the next song I'm going to take a look at is one of Eminem's many well-written and popular songs..."The Way I Am". The song attempts to tell off critics while simultaneously proving that Eminem has nothing to prove (and wouldn't care if he did). It is a great song, with a lot of great lines, and it packs a pretty important message (basically, screw other peoples' opinions, opinion is flawed).
Song #6. "The Way I Am" by Eminem.
Eminem - The Way I Am (YouTube)
[Eminem talking...]
Whatever..
Dre, just let it run
Ay-yo turn the beat up a little bit
Ay-yo.. this song is for anyone.. fuck it
Just shut up and listen, ay-yo..
A talking intro where Eminem declares the song applicable to anyone.
[Verse 1]
I sit back with this pack of zig zags and this bag
Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest mc on this -- on this earth
And since birth Ive been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension dispensin these sentences
He starts by smoking weed, which he claims give him what he needs to be the best MC. Then he claims that since birth he has been cursing and rapping. His music has been selling well, and it helps to relieve the pain he feels, which he has been translating into lyrics.
Gettin this stress thats been eatin me recently off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when Im eatin or feedin my daughter
To not come and speak to me (speak to me)..
I dont know you and no,
I dont owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
Im not mr. nsync, Im not what your friends think
Im not mr. friendly, I can be a prick
He's been stressed, so he's excited to relieve himself of that stress, so he can relax. Yet, he claims, he can't relax because fans keep bothering him when he's just trying to live his life. He says he doesn't owe anyone anything, and his fame does NOT mean he has to be a nice guy and a role model. He is a prick, and he knows it.
If you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..
No patience is in me and if you offend me
Im liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
I dont care who is there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
Ill smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
Im tired of all you (of all you)..
I dont mean to be mean but thats all I can be is just me
He says that if people bug him, he's not going to ignore it...he's going to get angry (and maybe violent). He then boasts that he doesn't care if he has to pay out a settlement in a lawsuit, it'll be worth it for the peace of mind that he would get from it. He doesn't mean to be mean , that's just him...
[Chorus]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasnt, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio wont even play my jam
Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasnt, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I dont know its just the way I am
The chorus shows Eminem as a construction of the media, and he sarcastically says whatever you want me to be, is what I am. Although he says this, he really means that no one knows him, so pretending to is ridiculous just because you read the news. He also means that no one can judge another person based on their reputation...everyone has their own perspectives.
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense its constant
And, oh, its his lyrical content -
- the song guilty conscience has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)..
He starts by saying his father didn't like to be bothered (perhaps implying his mother was crazy, or perhaps he was just introverted or something). Then he continues by saying that he constantly faces criticism whenever he does anything, and he's tired of hearing about it. He clearly thinks 'Guilty Conscience' is a good song, and some critics apparently do not. The media seems to think he can't do anything right (in his opinion). And it annoys him. mostly because people NEVER shut up.
So I point one back at em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, its the one you put up
When you dont give a fuck, when you wont just put up
With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
When a dudes gettin bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on marilyn (on marilyn).. and the heroin
He continues, loudly saying FUCK YOU...to the media, to the judgmental masses, and basically to every one who has a bullshit opinion. He's tired of bullshit, in the same way the kids who shoot up the schools (columbine/thurston/etc.) are judged, outcast, and tired of BS. He is also mad at how it was blamed on Marilyn Manson and drugs, but never on the parents or teachers.
Where were the parents at? and look where its at
Middle america, now its a tragedy
Now its so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
Havin this happenin (this happenin)..
Then attack eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But Im glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and its burnin and I have returned
He finishes verse 2 strongly, blaming parents for their kids' problems and pointing out that school shootings in middle class, white America are a tragedy, when inner city violence is an every day, overlooked occurrence. Affluence breeds ignorance (although the irony that Eminem is a rich white boy is overlooked here). And that ignorance 'ignites' Eminem's lyrical fire (so he's appreciative).
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Im so sick and tired of bein admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label and stop with the fables
Im not gonna be able to top on my name is..
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
To cop me rotation at rocknroll stations
He doesn't want the admiration either, since it is mostly fake...stemming from his pop success. He (with tongue-in-cheek) proposes being dropped from his label so he can stop with all the story telling and pop songs (he says he won't be able to top 'My Name Is..." , anyways).
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..
To deal with these cocky Caucasians who think
Im some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
The same fuckin questions (fuckin questions)..
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
til Im grabbin my hair and Im tearin it out
Everyone, especially cocky Caucasians, (which I take to mean white people who think they're too good for listening to rap) claim he's a 'wigger' since he raps, grabs his balls, and has an accent, but that's just the way he is. It pisses him off that people ask him all these personal questions that they have no business asking. He basically wants everyone to fuck off, because it's driving him insane.
Cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I cant take it
Im racin, Im pacin, I stand and I sit
And Im thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
But I cant take a shit, in the bathroom
Without someone standin by it
No I wont sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole Im glad
He loves his fans and all, but there's a line between enjoying popularity and suffering from it, and Eminem is walking that fine line. He doesn't think he's an asshole, but he also doesn't care what you think, so he says, go ahead, call me whatever...
[Chorus]
And he finishes with the chorus, as he reinforces that he is what he is, so whatever you make him out to be is what you think he is, and while it's probably wrong, he's past caring.
Anaylsis: This song is both a song about struggling with fame, and telling people to fuck off when they try to judge you.
Eminem's Moral: You're a product of other people's opinions, and the best thing you can do is to just ignore them all.
Soooo...the next song I'm going to take a look at is one of Eminem's many well-written and popular songs..."The Way I Am". The song attempts to tell off critics while simultaneously proving that Eminem has nothing to prove (and wouldn't care if he did).

"LOL Smiley Face" by Trey Songz (ft. Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane)...Seriously guys, what's more gangster that emoticons? That's right. Nothing.
This song is playing on the radio a lot right now, and it's just terrible. A friend suggested I analyze it, so naturally, I did...
Song # 5. "LOL Smiley Face" by Trey Songz (ft. Soulja Boy and Gucci Mane)
I love Fisha and Price.
In an attempt to top all other ridiculous opening lines, Trey declares his love for both of the founders (Herman Fisher and Irving Price) of toy company, Fisher Price...but...why?
8043350051,
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
(Soulja Boy Tell 'Em)
8043350051,(Gucci)
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
Apparently, if you want a top 40 hit these days, it's a good idea to give out your phone number in the song...
(Chorus)
Shorty just text me, says she want to sex me
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
Shorty sent a twitpic saying come and get this,
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
What a chorus. An acronym and an emoticon. Not even real words. Enough said. I don't care if it's about sex, it's immature and stupid, period.
(Trey Songz)
Shorty called my phone, i was busy (i was busy)
cruisin in that Benz round the city (round the city)
then i felt my phone buzz, i know that she like thugs,
im a bad boy like diddy (take that!),
then she sent the text, that read, baby im at home,
then she sent another one that says she’s all alone
so i text her a smiley face and said lets do the grown,
Oh Trey, how do women resist your mediocre lyrics and unintelligible songs? And why put songs in your name? and why misspell it? So basically what happens here is a girl calls him, but he's busy driving around looking cool, but then she texts him say she's all alone and Trey wants to do the grown (up, as in have sex...FYI: you know you're a grown up when you call having sex the "doing the grown up").
She said lol, boy you crazy, come on
then she said actually, you aint gotta ask me
sent that lil face with the tongue cuz im nasty
im on my way, girl i can't wait, twitter me a picture
let me see that okayy,
Why the fuck does she say, 'actually you aint gotta ask me'? I don't know, it's beyond me, considering she had just said 'lol, you crazy'. Trey's a freak so he sends the little emoticon with the tongue sticking out. If that is freaky, what word would describe people who like to have sex with polar bears? I think Trey doesn't realize how freaky is properly used. He can't wait, he needs a twitpic! Hurry, someone help the man...
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Go to my page and follow and if you got a body like a coke bottle,
Shorty sent a twitpic saying come and get this,
LOL smiley face, LOL smiley face
If you have a body like a coke CAN, just don't even apply. The other two lines are too gross to comment on. The fact that the dude is making a song about twittering and texting 'lol' is proof that he has no concept of what's cool. At all...
(Gucci Mane)
Email me shawty, text bay,
Send yo boy a smiley face,
Gucci Mane, x-rated we could make a sex tape (GUCCI!).
Pics on my iphone, gucci on her ipod,
When she turn around, ass make ya say oh god,
What is a 'text bay'? Is that similar to a 'Michael Bay'? And Gucci...Tape and Face don't even remotely rhyme dude. I do like that line Pics/Gucci (in other words, he has pics of her, and she has his songs), but why did he need to couple that with a generic ass compliment?
Mommy real beautiful,
Manicured cuticles,
Office job, student girl, holding down her cubicle,
And she got my number to her, man that’s like a miracle,
She say she like my swag,and my 6’s on my vehicle,
Any guy will tell you the first thing they notice on a girl is her manicured nails...NOT! Oh snap, and then he rhymed cubicle and cuticle...those are almost the same word! But they're not, they just happen to rhyme, LOL (Smiley Face). I dont know what he's talking about the rest of the way. Number to her? 6's on the vehicle? What, 6 inch rims? I'm confused, Gucci.
GA to VA, Cali girls love me,
Brooklyn girls hug me,
Miami girl's sexy, (I think I love her!)
Pull up in a stretchy…
Jump out flexing
First date sexing,
Next night sexing. (Well Damn!)
GA to VA? That's North-South, Gucci...so why do you say Cali girls love me right after that? It would make sense if you said from Portland to Portland or East to West, But GA to VA? Why not even just say GA to the Bay?!? Then, Gucci declares he's in love with some Miami girl. Then he pulls up in a stretchy (stretch limo, I'd guess), flexing and then has sex 2 nights in a row. What a terrible way to finish your verse, Gucci. Seriously.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Soulja Boy)
Talking: Trey, I got you, Baby...
Lol smiley face, lol smiley face,
Soulja boy tellem bay,
Lol smiley face,
Baby girl sent da picture to my blackberry,
She fine and she thick just like Hallie berry,
Kiss me through the phone, LOL smiley face
Oh man, Soulja...just...wow. Soulja doesn't manage to say anything (except you got a picture from a girl who is "thick" like Halle Berry, who I've always thought of as pretty small and thin, not traditionally thick...) BUT, Soulja does drop a reference to his terrible phone song, analyzed previously in this blog. And why not, both are terrible rap songs about worthless phone shit. Which is worse? Superman That Hoe or Kiss Her Through the Phone?
We can go and kick it bay
Later on at my place,
She message me on myspace told me she loved me,
She texting my phone 4:30 in da morning,
Baby i’m horny, I wanna kiss you,
I can put it on you, thats not an issue,
She scratching my back, screaming out im hers,
She text my phone say I need your love,
I met her monday last week in da club,
One week later now she telling me that she in love,
So here, Soulja says he got a myspace message, which says the girl is in love with him (but of course! who hasn't professed their love on myspace?!) Then, he says that she's basically crazy...texting him all the time/saying she needs loving, but really, he just met her. However, he fails to make a point, or say anything...as usual.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Analysis: This song says nothing, and does so surprisngly obviously (as opposed to most bad rap which is overshadowed by an okay beat, or a dance move, this song brings nothing to the table). It is about a girl (or girls) who want sex, so they send text messages. Is this really a problem for anyone? For rappers? Are they even saying it's a problem? I can't tell if they like it or hate it...
Trey's Moral of the Song: I don't know...girls text goofy shit when they wanna do da grown up?
Real Moral of the Song: If you continue to be terrible and make terrible music, you will get air play and people will listen. Inexplicably.
