I know I’m gonna catch hell for this one … but when I first heard this … I couldn’t help but identify with him. And to this day, Chamillionaire remains one of my favorite rappers.
Just ignore the more ignorant portions (paint dripping of the door, trunk pops and doing shows, etc). The core is pure gold
“Not engaged with no lady … fall in love with em … NO! You might think I’m crazy … never knew a love like this before. I’m in love with my foreign [car] … I’m in loooovvvveeee with my moooonnneeeyyyy”
This exact mantra may be too extreme for your average SBM … but for those simping hard (you know who you are) … listen to every work … write them down … and then say them every morning before you go to work.
Dedicated to my friend in New Jersey …
Yes!
damn NYPD be tryin to catch me drivin dirty
LMAO! you need to stop
LMAO…new to reading your blog, but have so far been hella amused.
Chamillionaire is the hit-or-miss man!
There is something kind of sexay about Cham since that CNN type video he did. One of the first more conscious rappers coming out of the dirty dirty.
And this recommendation is ….well…probably going right over some people's head. They are past a video. I think this is deeply rooted. I think every woman thinks they want a man to CATER to her. I mean I'm at the head of the class. But simpin apparently aint easy and it is SUCH a turn off at the end of the day. Because when you catering to me and apparently you are getting the short end of the stick ALL the time, something is wrong. whatever happen to balance. Whatever happened to PARTNERSHIPS where both people maintain a certain amount of their own personal identity. I think they call it BALANCE.
Comeback: I'm usually with you. You have made valid points, however….I do want a man to cater to me; in return…I'm catering to him. I also want a man to respect my I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.C.E. (although I don't care much for that song by Lil Boosie & Lil Phat) while still providing that the security of dependency. I need my man to be masculine yet sensual – perhaps a baby teaspoon of what Hasani has to offer.
“Not engaged with no lady … fall in love with em … NO! You might think I’m crazy … never knew a love like this before. I’m in love with my foreign [car] … I’m in loooovvvveeee with my moooonnneeeyyyy”
A car will disappoint you just like that (no good) woman would. I don't have a foreign but I just purchased a truck that has been putting me through so many changes it's not even funny.
@Neonnea: I like the idea of a woman catering to me. That's sexy.
I have to borrow a quote from the movie I Think I Love My Wife with Chris Rock:
"You can lose money chasing women but you'll never lose women chasing money."
Brothas, let's keep things in perspective!
" need my man to be masculine yet sensual – perhaps a baby teaspoon of what Hasani has to offer. "
I agree. But I've been reading that there are men like Hasani. And there are women who are also have masculine relationship tendancies. The problem is when two feminine relationship people get together or two masculines. Too me there is nothing really wrong with it. On some level I may exhibit some male tendancies in the outside world. But when I come home I check my pe*nis at the door. I NEED to be soft and pink in our HOME. And there can only be ONE skirt. I don't want or need no man scratchin around in my kitchen FULL time (aside from maybe an occassional chef or helper ((thinking futuristically cuz i WILL have an occassional chef)). Past that I am willing to negotiate primary duties or responsibilities.
I recommended the video because TOO me particularly when your approach is not working. There is something else missing. So maybe money shouldn't be his focus- BUT SOMETHING RELATED TO HIS OWN PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS SHOULD. I mean this is crazy its like if you asked him "what do you like to do" he might respond "whatever you like to do". I just feel like he is overcompensating for something that he feels he lacks. He already says that he makes less than most corporate brothas. Thats a personal choice if you're an artist or whatever. Which would require that he go for a masculine woman (TO SURVIVE) but there is something he is missing. My thing is if it works it works. But don't complain when YOU HAVE CHOOSEN your role and you get stepped on and disrepected and unheard. BECAUSE YOU PUT YOURSEFL THERE. People treat you the way you give them permission too.
Comeback: I think a man cooking in the kitchen or on the deck at the grill is sexy. I look at a lot of the food network channel. Often times, I've used the phrase: Men treat women the way we allow them to treat us.
antidater: I'm a little behind the times and just recently saw "I think I love my wife" so that phrase is still fresh. My question regarding that quote you used would be – What kind of women are chasing men who chase money?
I like Chamillionaire. And let me check my vision, but I agree with Antidater's comment: “You can lose money chasing women but you’ll never lose women chasing money.” As the group TLC said, "I don't want no scrub. A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me." It must be quote rapper day because just thought of another lyric quote that fits, but I'll keep it to myself.
The GRILL is Sexy. But scratchin around ON THE REGULAR in my stainles steel and cast iron pots IS NOT.
I mean if he can BURN. Then lets have a cook off. but MOST men are not IRON chefs lets be frank here.
and one man in particular seems like a scratcher and not a burner.
Stop it Comeback…lol
@Comeback: Man … you are coming hard with the subliminal shots today. I expect the true 50 essays from "you know who" when he sees you talking about him … lol. Its so nice not to be that person anymore.
BTW … I'm completely and utterly shocked you agree with the video. COMPLETELY!!! I figured you would be overly upset at a man putting money before women.
@Neonnea: I think you and Comeback are arguing the same point. While you say you want to be catered, you talk about catering also. Comeback is preaching for balance. Now lets kiss and make up …
@Sheila: Another Cham fan. I was going to talk about how is one of the few souther rappers with a somewhat conscious message … but didn't want to go off on tangents. I really respect him as an artist. Especially his last CD where he took out all curse words and the N* word, and still produced a high quality hit album.
@Jazzy: Can't stop … won't stop …
@Hasani: Uh … no comment … LOL.
@Ms. Freckles: I don't know about these misses … but I would love for you to tell me them (I mean there are a few … but less than your average rapper).
BTW … Another reason I'm such a fan of Chamillionaire is he is one of the richest rappers out there (really … he ranked in like the top 5) and really treats this like a business. He really worked his way through the underground and made it on top. He had a radio show on XM, and all kinds of things.
Also, the man seems bitter towards females too. I feel like someone definitely crossed him back in the day … just helping me relate even more.
Shelia: I don't want a scrub either but I find it amazing how a "baller" or young professional can 'make it rain' on digga but come to Miss. Independent with the Donnie Mcclurkin (I fell down, but Imma get back up).
I chase dreams, not dollars.
SBM, I think that's one of the reasons why I like him. He showed you can still have a successful rap CD and not use all that profanity. It doesn't hurt I like some of his beats. I don't agree with all of his lyrics (example…I like Lil Wayne's song Lollipop because of the beat…but don't like the lyrics at all).
Neonnea, I think we are in agreement, but I'll clarify what I think your comment meant. The baller (or young professional) seem to spend their money freely at the strip club but don't want to spend money on their woman and want the woman to understand why he isn't. (I might have interpretted what your statement incorrectly, so feel free to correct me if I did). I think there was a misunderstanding reference the quote antidater made earlier from the movie. A woman shouldn't be chasing a man and that's not how I intrepreted the quote.
" I find it amazing how a “baller” or young professional can ‘make it rain’ on digga but come to Miss. Independent with the Donnie Mcclurkin (I fell down, but Imma get back up). "
I just fell out my chair**LOL this is priceless. WHERE IS YOUR BLOG. AND can i be your agent?
———-
SBM :"BTW … I’m completely and utterly shocked you agree with the video. COMPLETELY!!! I figured you would be overly upset at a man putting money before women."
–why…I think most of that is penetrable. When you connect with the right man. its not really a problem to me. Most men I think want to know that you're not with him for your personal bank. I like soft and pink in my heart and after 6:30pm…but i also like the black on paper. You know what I mean. (and I see you putting in space limitations now WTF?)
Most men I think want to know that you’re not with him for your personal bank
True and vice versa–a woman wants to know the same thing…lol (because you know there are some men who don't have a problem trying to live off a woman…now that's another blog entry).
LOL at the space limitations. It did make my last comment shorter…mission accomplished…lol
@ Sheilia Imma pretend like SBM did NOT do that because of me. But he should also be checking for run on sentences and indecipherable words (that a spell check would give up on). I agree too. But this goes back to a feminine man. There are some men who think they can play both sides of the fence. Do you want to be a househusband or Testosterone Tyrone. PICK ONE. Now personally I would have a hard time givin a man an allowance. But if I was a straight up masculine woman I might could quantify your cooking (not scratching), taking care of the kids, and being my personal assistant and cheerleader. But I would NEED for you to stay in that role and note deviate. I would also need a MRtress. yes Misteriss (Sheila don't put that in your next novel. without direct quotations mkay?? LOL). Because at this point coming from a female perspective you have taken all of my desire away. Did I get off topic.
Shelia – I absolutely LOVE Lollipop by Lil'Wayne minus the verbage content. I will stop whatever I'm doing when that song comes on and start rocking my hips or as Huey would say: "Pop, Lock & Drop It".
SBM – I can say I don't like the video or song "In love with my Money"…but I do like his CNN video and riding dirty song. lol…go figure…I'm more of a R & B and tupac fan.
Comeback – Girl you have me crying in laughter today. You hit em' hard! lol. I think a man (my man) who cooks for me every so often {maybe on unexpected occassions or when I'm under the weather} is hella sexy and if he knows his way around a grill…gosh darnit, we need to excuse ourselves to the laundry room and let the washing machine take us away on the spin cycle while the chicken is grilling!!! Whew!
However, regularly speaking…I know my cooking skills are wayyyy better than my honey's is…therefore I prefer to be the one in the kitchen.
So Hasani is a simp!
@The Man – Hasani seems to be a man who is in touch with his sensitive side [from the comments I have read in the previous blog]. I mean, if it works for him…so be it – to each his or her own. I however love myself a very masculine man who allows me to be the woman I am and I don't have to worry about him trying on my skirts or stilettos.
@Ms. Freakles: "They be like YEAH….when they song come on…."
@Shelia: We are in agreement. You interpreted what I said about right. The baller will spend his money freely at a strip clubs or on a jump off but may be a little hesitant to give that leading lady the same financial backing.
and yes girl, it should be vice versa. I've had a wangsta or two waste my time and eat up all my breakfast food. Can't have any more of my snacks!
@Comeback: MRtress…I like that! If Shelia doesn't use it, I'll make sure I give you credit 🙂
"I think every woman thinks they want a man to CATER to her. I mean I’m at the head of the class. But simpin apparently aint easy and it is SUCH a turn off at the end of the day."
Good point comeback. A girl we like is gonna make us want to give the world to her, but being too submissive almost always causes the attraction go away eventually, and relegates us to extreme simp status. ESS.
I have this theory that many hip hop artists use the "money over b******" theme to purvey machismo, and downplay their own sensitivity, not really having misogynistic notions. Cause if you're sensitive in the least, it makes you a "bitch"…or even "gay", right? Unfortunately, it's a shitty way to articulate that, and too many of us take the literal words to heart. I've always seen Chamillionaire as one of those rappers. Weezy not so much.
I can lse money chasing women but can never lose women chasing money!?
LMAO what do you think blows up most black marriages? dad working too much or mom wanting to "upgrade" like beyonce (least from what I have seen)
but fo the sinle black man (which is what this forum is for) I think it may be a ood idea. but closing in on 31 years old, if I stop to shut out the female population for nothing more than one or two dates a year I will prob easily end up 35 and wont give a fuk about finding someone.
I think we need to start my decent to the dark side… where my young bucks at? Anti? SBM? the force is callin me.
but then again, tdays modern sista only seems to respond to one stimulis …….. power. 😐
just look at the posts and their own blogs!
@Hasani: For a moment, I thought you couldn't use the letter 'g'. Please elaborate on how women only respond to power.
Like I said Monday, don't give up hope – I got a homeboy name Ryan looking for a man like you 🙂
Hasani you live over the river from the most powerful cities in THIS WORLD. Look out your window over the bridge…POWER, INNOVATION, and MONEY built that city. Maybe you SHOULD move to South Carolina where the "living is easy, fish are jumpin and the cotton is high". I think that most of the "corporate" people on this blog aren't just working for money and power. Some of us enjoy what we do can leverage alittle and make some money.
I'm knocking your life choices but please don't complain about the HOUSE YOU BUILT. Your perceptions and thoughts have created the fact that you have dated 40 women in the past year with no cigar. Instead of blaming the wind, the ran, the snow–why don't you check the leaky roof.
(i only have 73% available space left and this post must end soon!!!) bye
Hasani, you're looking at things the wrong way. It does not mean that Anti or SBM are part of the "dark side" because they are not allowing women to run over them. I think it was The Comeback Girl who said that people will only treat you like you allow them to treat you. If you allow them to simp you, by golly that's what they will do. Most women like to be with men who are independent thinkers and doers and I'm not talking about a man's occupation.
"I’m NOT knocking your life choices"
Also I can't see how a BMW is "blowing up most black marriages" because women love BMW–Black Men Working. ROFL
A women exemplifies power and strength. Let me give you a few examples: Oprah Winfrey, Condolezza Rice, and 'the most known unknown' – single mothers…just to name a few. None of which have strong and powerful men by their sides, why? Because the 'strong and power' companion haven't stepped up to the plate. Hence the reason you mentioned that women only respond to power. As Shelia mentioned, a man is not defined by his occupation; however, if I can carry the weight of the world on my back, that man better be able to handle a universe.
The Comeback Girl, I might have to quote you…I like that…"MRtress"…I'll give credit where credit is due 🙂 I'm working on a YA book now but when I get back to my women's fiction, hmmm….something to think about.
Neonnea gets a standing ovation – if I can carry the weight of the world on my back, that man better be able to handle a universe.
H-town STAND UP!!! (like I really know Chamillionare or something…LOL)
It seems this has turned somehow into every woman's desire for a strong man and how strong this man must be … LOL … I love how the comments go a completely different way than what I wrote about, but then I get great inspirations for another day.
Yeah … Antidater actually wrote about these super soft males before on his blog before it met and untimely death … and I don't think anyone wants that.
I'm kind of suprised that no one really picked out how anti-love this verse really is. I mean … he talks about telling a girl to leave him if she wants money spent on her, how he sees no point in engagement (hence marriage), and when he is told "I love you" … he responds with "Thats Sweet" and says he rather have a nicer car than a female leeching of him.
Funny thing is for every guy like me and him who aren't willing to go broke over a female … you have 2 simps (*cough* Hasani) willing to empty out the bank account and lick in between your toes.
WTF. ImGettingCutOffByMyOwnLim
And yes … the comment limit was directly inspired by Comeback and Hasani. And yes comeback … if I could add a run on sentence and spell checker for Hasani … I would … but I would have to add the anti bitterness/hating filter for you right after. And maybe a translator for the words me and him speak.
Maybe I should make a "How to understand Males" book for you Comeback. I wouldn't do that for everyone now … just you … cause my love runs deep.
46% … what to type … la la la la …
@Neonnea: "If I can carry the weight of the world on my shoulders then that man must carry the universe."
Aren't we setting the bar a tad bit high? Why not 2 worlds or a galaxy?
@Comeback: I burn, bake, AND put my foot in it. If men had to depend on women (peers not my mama) to cook – we'd never eat. Btw, I didn't know you had a pen*s Comeback…
lol SBM. I listened to the lyrics, that's why I said I don't agree with them all. But I do like the song.
P.S. – You know how we do. We'll break a topic down into another topic. 🙂
SBM YOU are a CONTROL FREAK. I am a lassiez faire kind of girl myself. First you impose a comment character limit and now your miffed that the post has gone sligtly left.
"I burn, bake, AND put my foot in it"—ANTI I don't believe you. And I'm not suggesting single men stop "scratching around" I mean you ahve to eat but please don't make believe that you exec. chef over at Sapgo's. With cookware on HSN, QVC, and walmart. Please stop ..(or myabe I should 44%)
Antidater – can't handle it? 🙂
@ SBM: This is my shit!!! For awhile this was my theme song. I haven't read the other comments but Hasani listen close…lol
@Hasani: I have been reading your comments for a while now, you seem like a really nice guy who seem to keep getting taken advantage of. Or just can't recognize game when you see it. I want you to rise above these chicks and don't be a simp anymore. *pumping my fist in the air*…LOL!!!
Ok let me read the comments.
Neonnea – of course I can lift the Universe – even if you consider dark matter, multiple hidden dimensions, and continuous expansion. 😉 I just think its amazing that both Society and sistas require that brothas be able to bend over backwards, jump through flaming hoops, AND bench press multiple Universes. I don't think that Hercules or Atlas could even pull that one off…
Oh wooooww@Antidater.
"I burn, bake, AND put my foot in it. If men had to depend on women (peers not my mama) to cook – we’d never eat."
Oh REALLY? Well, my man has YET to say he's not well fed when I throw down in the kitchen for him and whomever else may be visiting the house at that time. That was a broad generalization and I'm going to need you to pull your head out your own anus real quick because that is not cute or in your case handsome in the least bit.
Antidater – whoever said it would be easy for a good man?
@Ms. Freckle: I call it like I see it. In the Northeast "cook" is literally a four letter word.
@Neonnea: Is it easy for a bad man?
Antidater – I've met the good, the bad, and indifferent…so I would say a bad one doesn't work as hard…for anything. So you tell me, is it easier?
@Antidater…you need to venture out more.
Good men don't have to work hard because it's suppose to come natural to them…the same goes for the bad in my opinion.
Wow. Two ladies versus me…I can handle it 😉 As Dr. Robert Peck would say: "Life is difficult." Why should black women be any different?
Let me see if I can do this in 35% or less. damn I can't have spaces no more!!! anyways I just thought I would post up and read comments for a lil while and clearly I can't even comment on this topic at this point but I will say I was laughin at comeback with her lyrics from "Summer time" right on (30%)
@Ms. Freckles: Good men don't have to work at being good?!?!?! What kind of mess is that? The difference between a good man and a bad one is the good one is willing to do the work … the bad one isn't … but its work period. There are plenty of gifted athletes … those born with talent … and I bet they tell you its still hard work to be good.
@Neonnea: I could carry 3 universes if need be … but don't think I could be with someone who tasked me to do it. Why should your man "carry more burden" than you? Why do you think you need the universe? Me … I would be happy with just one continent … not even a planet!
@Anti: Double teaming aint bad … just don't let them get to rough with you.
@Mikki: So late to the game. Minus another 50 points.
SBM ok enough with the damn point shit im already in debt enough, you really are killin me ya know!!!!! where is the love?????
@Mikki: Love … came to the wrong place sweetheart.
I'm Coldblooded
lol
she likes the sound of her own voice…. dosent really care what anyone else says, especially if it has that X chromosome "problem"
this seems to be a common theme however.
oh to an update
oh by the way I have 4 new dates comming up after a 5 week dry spell. I have been working on a colder "act" and it amazes me how fast two of them "caved in" and "fell in line"
one is actually a 2nd date with a girl who is less glam than most women I have gone out with. Works at target…. I shit you not.. at 28yo. she is a joe blow type but has been playing lots of games the past 4 weeks and blowing me off. I got her on the phone, told her I was gonna take her out.. stood her up and shes called me every day for an explination and reschedule… go figure.
3 other dates are new. one is pigmentally challenged (but has a Phd) I let her pick me up just for "my friend" on this board 😉
should I give updates?
-your fave simp-
Wow Hasani you don't waste no time. You should tell us about the others. I think we are missing two descriptions. I'mma be quite frank with you. PhD lady with ….um with vitiligo ???? (or is she white??? no judgements) anyway might be your best bet. You are a sensitive man with sensitive needs and unless you are looking for free perscriptions and half price underwear, the "average joe blow type" is proably not your girl?
You've been beaten down by the world. You really don't understand nor like the way of the capitalist nation we live in. and you got to eat and stay up to date with the xbox games, you need this Phd chick. Hopefully she's got a full time day job and teaches part-time at NYU, Columbia, Fordham, Rutgers, Yale whatever you get my drift. She has a car thats good. Save your train tokens. But know your role. Don't try and switch it up and get too bossay. She wears the pants. 90% and Im out. breaker breaker 1–9.
oh and make sure SHE is NOT down with the "soft and pink", chilvary should also not be in her vocabulary. Oh and if she talks about checkin her pen*is at the door, you get up take your xbox, target cookware, blender, AND cake mix–AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. PRONTO.
yea hasani im with comeback I wouldn't mess around with the joe blow type unless you trying to get your ego stroked or something but messin around with target will not gain you any points, take it from a girl who lost all her points lol. I need to know the other two descriptions but for sure target is out but again if u wanna get ur simp points down then u should really holla at her.39% (over)
whats pigmentally?
Mikki I think we got us a "10-34" on that pigmentally. I think he's tryna say he got himself a white "mini skirt" or a little brown fox with skin problems. Do you copy?
10-40.
copy 1 2 3 4 over comebackhotmomma, thanks I got it now! whew this translation stuff is a beast!!!
I want to be date # 934 somebody make sure hasani put me on the list, he might not get the memo reception is bad out there on the road so let him know when he gets into town to check his messages nextels aint shit!!!!!
copy 23
Mikki, dang it, I was going to ask Hasani to be date #934.
Thats a big 10-4 Mik-At-Night, so you tryna be his foxy seat cover. Did I read you correctly? You is TOO soft and pink to be his honey. He looking for a pigmentally challenged ATM machine.
down and out.
@Hasani: Ignore these naysayers … they get crazy when it gets this late. Go with the Target girl to be honest. You might be able to actually wear the pants in this relationship and not simp yourself out. That PhD will have you putting down the controller to eat puss again … and that bullsh*t needs to stop!
lol SBM…
@Hasni: And BTW … pick Sheila for #934 … Mikki has lost to many points and since Sheila won't mess with me (why I don't know … ) I want her to go into good hands (I can upgrade you to good if the simping stops).
And congrads on standing that girl up. There is hope …
Shiela: A date wouldnt be a problem if you live in the NYC area. you dont have to wait until the 900's
comeback please dont use that evil "Y" word ever again. four letter words like that are bad. I actually date alot of doctors and phd because I am a princeton native and hang at the hospital alot with my "old heads" so its not like ultra special or anything. I just like phd's because a woman in research is usually very interesting and actually has a REASON for being single at 30.
Jane Blow" is wierd, yes I need my ego stroked too! but she has been dissin me for weeks before I checked her like SBM suggested. I see no harm in dating a "game player" or average sista. I have to try everything til something fits right?
3rd is a "cute blue black" Kenyan from down the street. Met her online so no details yet.
4th I met at a bar by the college. 6ft tall, "african from moscow", was complaining there were no tall single men so I said "Im here! 6'2! hows friday" she said "ok"
Jane blow is a former soldier, I guess men can have a weaknes for former military just like women can. I would think someone who served would have a great sense ot honor and pride but she just seems like typical antagonistic sista so far but we shal see how they all pan out.
Im actually most excited about the african with the russian accent. She was hella hot and works at the college. Im taking her to a salsa lesson for first date tonight. Im excited.. but that may lead to simpin insted of pimpin… so how should I handle this my younger brothas?
@Hasani. You have demonstrated enough value to get out on the first date. Enjoy yourself and be cool. Keep the subject matter fun and light. The goal here should be to enjoy your date's company and get to know each other well enough to decide if there will be a date #2. Listen to her intently and be aware of her body language – her subtle actions (flipping hair, touching you gently, gazing in your eyes, focus on you versus surroundings) will tell you if she is really interested. Don't think about kissing or be too touchy feely unless you have achieved what I call "magnetism". Magnetism is when she gravitates towards you (while walking, sitting, dancing closely, etc) with little or no effort on your own.
@Hasani: I agree with Anti, keep things light and simple. Don't feel like you have to impress her and please don't build her head to much. Too many compliments and just randomly saying them instead of utilizing perfect timing could potentially put you back in the simp category.
Like anti said, your trying to see if a second date is worth your time. I fear that you usually are trying to impress them so you can "earn" a second date. Very bad mentality!
dude you are a G!!!!! You know I'm from HOUSTON so I been listening to this song for probably 5 years atleast now. Chamillionaire is so talented you dont even know peopleee!!! You won my heart for exposing my dude more.
