Music Monday 01.13 Real Aunty Vibes
My Favorite ‘Joints’ This Week
I don’t know why this past week I found out Mary J. Blige makes music that speaks to the type of woman I am aspiring to be but LO and BEHOLD. I have had her two songs “Mary’s Joint” and “Be Happy” from her My Life album on REPEAT.
Mary’s Joint is especially my favorite and I only found out about it through a tweet that said Drake sampled the song on ‘Weston Road Flows’ off of his album Views. I knew there was a secret reason why I loved that song so much and the secret was Aunty Mary.
You said our love would always stand the test of time! Come on Aunty Mary. Speak to me. Drake knew what he was doing when he picked that part to be the sample.
And Be Happy?! This song puts me in such a great mood because the message is so simple. I just want to be happy. Das it. Das All.
And please excuse me for being antisocial, but God’s Eyes is the perfect song to start your morning and help picture the future in a greater light. While your at it stream “The Box” to keep it at #1.
Last but not least, I listen to this song every day. I feel like i’m in a drop top riding through LA when I listen to this song. My fav line is when Lil Baby says “I’m so dumb, thinking they could, when they really can’t.” Maybe it’s cause I’m a virgo and no one can do things the way I want them to LOL.
If you made it this far you’ve unlocked my secret soundcloud playlist. Enjoy ;-) See y’all next Monday. Any recommendations comment below.
