@yngj77 it just gives you a visual of the chicks gettin their nails done. Plus it rhymes with europeans. I dont think she was tryin to point koreans out for doing nails.
@itswillbois More Robots and Spam nowadays. Plus when Lauryn was hit "Internet didn't exist". You get all the crappy services on the net doing something and it shows in search. Lauryn ain't HIT it's CLASSIC, Few explanations!!!
Sooo tru most teenage boys just want one thing....so many teenage girls just don't get it now nd days nd they really think the guys really love them but people my age shud not be saying ily they don't even know what tru love is!
don't get me wrong, this song is the shit but just one lil part.....
whats wrong with nails done by Koreans? if they weren't done by Koreans would it be any different? Korean immigrants are just trying to make a living. The reason why Koreans and other Asian immigrants typically own dry cleaners, liquor stores, nail shops, etc is because you only need MINIMUM ENGLISH. Typically parents are just trying to make a living for their kids. Why point out Koreans work at fake nail shops?
It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in, look at where you be in, hear weaves like europeans, fake nails done by koreans!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, still this is the reality of majorityof black woman. Thank god i'm not one of them.
A lyric that is brilliant in understanding what was, is, and will be an integral part of the world culture in the 21st century. Lauryn, you are right on, girl! Her rendition of this song on Jimmy Fallon's Late Nite show 6-14-11 was fantastic and blew these lyrics out beautifully. I can't find on YouTube
i was a kid and still remeber this song and im very very young like in teenage years and i love this song!!! CUZ IT'S SO GROOVY LIFE WAS BETTA BACK THEN!!!!
for one almighty racist bitch that wud make bob marley turn in his grave......this is a GREAT song!! sorry lauren! looks like ur kids gotta starve coz this white boy bought ur album! hahahaha
I love L Boogie but sometimes I think she's too idk self-righteous. She's always tryna tell you what to do. Like I appreciate her but I will get my advice from my real Momma not from some song.
We have all heard that men say..."why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?", well girls..I am here to tell you "why buy the pig for just a little sausage?" God's words says...Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." In other words...your purity is sacred to God. It should be sacred to you.
Good song, but pretty typical. Another chick bitching about a guy, after awhile it gets kind of old. This song gets a pass because its a good song, but most aren't.
@Yosimidy, you can't be talking about Nicki like that, because "Pink Friday" actually went PLATINUM so guess she is talking about something if she's selling that much
This is real music this was a time when there was a good girl rapper, now we don't have nothin' but trash i'm talkin' about Nicki Minaj she can't rap she don't talk about shit!!
"Weaves done by Europeans Fake nails done by Koreans" I love that.IT's so true. Then "Talking out ya neck sayin ya a Christian" I know so many people like that I love Mrs. Hill (:
@Xohmygosh823X It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in, look at where you be in hair weaves LIKE europeans, fake nails done by koreans... meaning... because black women think its in to have their hair done basically like white women or europeans whatever, and she sports the afros and what not.. kinda like be yourselff. idk thats what I get from it.
@balttonj Ain't that the truth! We as women take way too much crap from men that we don't have to take!! We must learn to love and respect ourselves instead of loving these guys first.
