How.You.Want.It? New music review

Remembering the 90’s music review.

HYWI? – Teyona Taylor featuring King Combs

A sample of the late 90’s famous Badd Boy hit “What you want” by Mase feating Total from the Harlem world Album.

Of course when the song comes on you kinda already expect it to be a hit, because sampled by the talented Teyona Taylor and King Combs the talented son of original song writer Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The pair makes a talented “Duo” and the artwork pretty much says it all before the song comes on. Both artist are explicit with their lyrics, being sure to let us know that they are not kids.

It’s a song that explains Teyana sexual expertise and she makes several references to what she will, can, and, want to do. Her biggest question is “What’s the quickest way to turn you on”? Based on what the artist is saying in the song, there will most likely be NO DULL moments with this interaction.

Now let’s talk about KING…. Pretty much a physical protégé of his Dad, look and sound just like this man. It’s like Diddy2.0, with so much musical success that’s gotta literally be some hard shoes to fill. It’s working tho. How old is this Man again, cause he said “Yea I’m young but I’m old enough, I’m stand in the pussy have you folding up”.  Christian what did you say?? Lol He’s making a grand entrance into entertainment taking a stance like a symbol. He’s a lover boy, and I’m learning to take him serious too, because the media has never displayed the playful side of him. He’s been groomed that way, but I like it….

The sample instrumental flows throughout the entire song just speeding the tempo up just a little. Teyana starts off with the same words as the original repeating “Tell me what you want” multiple times before the lyrics began. All the way down to Kings rhyming style and accent, and Teyana’s rendition of Totals tone. I’m here for it because it doesn’t divert far from the original.

Check out the video directed by Teyana, a retro video that pays tribute to very talented director Hype Williams.

               The song is sexy, and we all know I’m all for something Grown and sexy that I can sing and dance too. The song shows their maturity and its a different lane compared to the music that out these days. With it being a sample you might not even mind the kids singing it………… I lied it’s not those kind of lyrics. Yea you might not even want ya teenage daughters listening to it with all this appeal King putting down. Overall I like it, I really do. I’d actually like to see a few more songs come from the two because they make a good collaboration. You can hear this song and more on the PLAYLIST dropping today entitled “Ode to the 90s”.

Single Again Anyone?

Well Big Sean is and he has taken to music platforms to share how he plans to handle this one. As we all know he and ex Jhene’ Aiko has been a big deal in the entertainment industry and have taken a different approach to remain reputable with each other and within music media with partnering on Sean’s new single entitled “Single Again”.

When the song first begins it samples Carl Thomas’s “I wish” and he starts with the lyrics “What happens when it’s too good to throw away? You either let it go bad or go away, I need to pray”. I love it, because naturally it’s almost never the following approach. The artist begins to explore other options like let’s be friends, and spending his time and cash on himself. With a high tempo rhythm he makes you want to listen to the lyrics and consider being single during this #hotgirlsummer, not so bad after all. When the beat drops the song makes you wanna vibe and dance to it, have a drink or 2 and embrace it not for anyone else but for self.

With great points like not placing the blame, and admitting it could be him. He explores the topic of parenting issues and how things between his parents never worked out. Which are all great therapy and discussion pieces alone. It’s enough to make you think, could that cause great impact on your relationships with other people. The major key to all this is to have his ex on the chorus with him, could that mean they are on one accord. At such a pivotal time they could’ve taken this in many directions but they choose the mature and peaceful route which makes this song even more appealing. With a new look, and more mature sound, the 3:34 second song says it easy to just do what’s best when being alone and that’s to take care of you. No drugs, not more girls, or even partying can help with the healing hurt after a breakup, you gotta just take care of you. I hear a little Ty Dolla in the end too. I think the song is dope, anybody else recently Single Again? Meditate /Pray, Go get cute/fly, wash up the whip, roll all the windows down and play this as loud as you can on repeat to some kind of me time activity. Just thank Sean later ;-).
