Big Things Poppin (Do It) - T.I.

View the LYRICS to this song.

First I have to say that I loooooooove this song, and it has nothing to do with what he is saying (cause I really have no idea). That is actually how I feel about most rap songs. If they have a good beat, melody, and hook, I'll love it no matter what they are saying...to a certain extent. I think this is another one of those songs where the rapper talks about how great they are. Regardless, this is definitely a song I rock to in my car.

I have more than a few obervations for this one so I am gonna go ahead and post the video first.

I dedicate this song/video to those of you who are just doin it everyday!

Observations:

1.) I give you props for workin out and stayin in shape Mr. T.I., but you need to eat a few sandwiches before you go walking around with your shirt off like that...hence, my gift to you :



Paulie T.I. want a cracker sandwich?

2.) I don't know how I feel about this facial expression:

He does it quite a bit, and I find it unattractive, sexy, and scary all at the same time. This next one however, is just plain scary:

Calm down dude, don't pop a blood vessel.

3.) Uhhhh....nice product placemet Nokia. Did they foot the bill for this video?

I think I'll stick with my ipod for now, but good effort

4.) Favorite Line: "...Who you think u finna scare?"

Only in the past couple years have I become familiar with the use of "finna". The Source provided me with the etymology of the word.

It began with : fi'n - v. (derived from "fixin") Getting ready to do something. "I'm fi'n to tell you what's up wit Sheila and Snoopy."

And from that came: finna - v. going to. "Son, I finna bust a cap."

Don't you just love the example sentences they used?! I know at least half of you would add "in yo ass" to the end of the sentence for "finna"....or am I the only one?

5.) It really bugs me the way guys today wear their hats tipped to the side like this:

Everytime I see this, it takes so much will power to not walk up to the guy and just flick the hat off his head

6.) To be continued? What exactly will be continued? You walking around with your posse more? Can't wait!

7.) For anyone that watches MTV, did you notice that for awhile they played parts of this video during the ending credits of like EVERY show? It was a bit much.

Overall the video doesn't impress me much. It's a step up from showing off cars, half-necked girls, and throwing money at the camera, but it is still lacking. Love the song, the video...not so much.
