Verse of the Day: Fabolous - "OJ"

I haven't been a good KWTer the last few days, so I apologize. Chalk it up to the torrential rain and school. I listened to very little music today, which makes me feel antsy. Not that I'm addicted or anything.

But it's a Friday, so we'll keep it short and sweet. After the jump, Loso's verse, and me recounting my surprise over how many fucking CDs this guy has available at HMV.



I woke up sayin’ I aint drinking no more
Same night in the spot drinkin’ Coco
Loso, bad bitch think she know so
Got a man cuffin’, nigga think he popo
She tryna go below the belt, thinkin’ low blow
I’m thinking oh yeah, he thinkin’ oh no
I’m on my high horse, nigga thinking Polo
Got the 9 on me so I think I’m Romo
Uh, I’m about that life nigga
Bring you in the game, let you meet my wife nigga
Married to the shit, asking ‘em am I gettin cheddar now
They say I do, like a muthaf-cking wedding vow
That AirTran we flying for cheap
And you niggas sleepin’ on me, hope you die in your sleep
OJ, yeah probably don’t get it
I’m the best that ever did it and got away with it


Erratic thoughts, to be honest. I just listened to "Hustlin", and it was dope. Rhyming Atlantic with Atlantic is cool, so fuck anybody who says it isn't. Then I listened to OJ, and noticed it has 2000 views on Youtube. How the fuck? You know VEVO stays padding views, so this must be some sort of glitch. TS calls shenanigans.

Also, I had dinner with the parents and their friends tonight, and fuck older people conversations are crazy. They just interact through telling stories. What is that? I swear kids don't do that. They discussed how amazing it is that you can get the news online, so you don't have to watch an hour-long news broadcast, or you can check all the sports scores in a minute. Which was weird, when I thought about it, because kids would never talk about that shit. Chalk it up to generational differences. Then they roasted telemarketers, like they were writing for a comedian from '02. That's a topic that has been beaten to death. Put that on the list of overdone humor, alongside commenting on dentists asking you questions while their hands are in your mouth.

It's a Friday, but it's also game day tomorrow, so I'm not going out. I'm gonna listen to Trap Back in its entirety for the first time (I know, I know, a crime punishable by being thrown out of a moving vehicle) and watch Californication. And you can't say shit to me.

Either way, I was in HMV today, and HOLY FUCK Fabolous has a lot of CDs available. Major label backing is a funny fucking thing. Sheek Louch's album is in there, and that album sold as many copies as you'd imagine a buzz-less album with a half-man/half-gorilla on the cover, containing zero hits, made by a guy that's never been hot, would sell. Actually, it sold less. There's all sorts of bullshit in an HMV, and then there was the lolzy moment when I told my Dad where I was and he said: "Watch they don't go out of business while you're in there." Which genuinely made my laugh, even though I'm one of those dickheads who urges people to buy albums. Still, I think that'd be a funny skit on SNL some show that doesn't rely on their guest host/musical act to generate buzz. Like people are worried about going into record stores for fear they'll be trapped inside when they shut down. Or something. If you want a perfect example of the advantage of one artistic medium over another, read Watchmen. Or, read that skit idea, and realize how unfunny that is in writing.

Unsure why I took you guys on that little HMV detour, but either way, we're back on Loso. I've been meaning to do this verse for awhile, because it's dope. Honestly, if I see a song guesting Loso or Jada, count me the fuck out. But "OJ" is, as my roommate put it, a "big tune". Dope dope dope.

Listen below. Seriously, please? Jeezy needs the views.
