Urban Chameleon moment
In watching an episode of last week's Gossip Girl there was a song that sounded very familiar but wasn’t familiar
And I thought, “Hmmmm this is peculiar…”
I began to sing along
Still thinking, “Damn, what’s the name of this song?”
The next verse continued
And I finally saw the light
“Stacks on deck, Patron on ice, and we can pop bottles…”
Wait a minute this is a white girl’s rendition of T.I.’s song, What Ever You like
Now I didn’t think too much of it
I dug the groove and thought how it underscored the scene, perfected it
Until making dinner plans with a few girlfriends of mine
And one suggests Permanent brunch, it’s breakfast all the time
I went online, checked out the menu ‘cause bad food is my biggest fear
And wait what’s this music on this website here? Is this Nelly, It’s Getting’ Hot In Here?”
But it wasn’t Nelly and again the vibe wasn’t wrong
Is this another white girl’s remix of a Black rapper’s song?
I gotta say I’m really not mad
Ok white girl, your rendition aint half bad
Just don’t get on no Elvis Presly sh*t and discredit the work
Making someone have to find yo’ ass to remind you and the audience that a Black rapper did it first
