Mr. Will.I.Am of the Black Eyes Peas is coming out with a solo album (drops Setember 25th) and has released his first single off of it "I Got it from my Mama".
The basic message of the song is something that we have all heard before: if you want to know how a girl is going to turn out when she is older then look at her mother. If her mom is hot, the girl will be hot, if her mom is ugly, the girl will be as well, and so on. I am lucky enough to have a beautiful mother so this "rule" does not particularly bother me. It is unfortunate for those girls whose mother's aren't ...."looking their best", I'll say.
When I first heard this song it immediately reminded me of a song that I love by Juvenile titled "Mama Got A** (She Get if from her Mama)". It's not exactly the same message as that of Will.I.Am, but very similar. Personally I like the Juvenile song better.
In terms of the actual videos...I don't really like either, but that is because I really don't enjoy any video that includes women half dressed and dancing seductively. If I heard Will.I.Am's on the radio, I would probably get bored and change the station....or I would be reminded of how much I like Juvenile's "version" and put that on. I'm a little dissapointed with this first single of Will's. I hope he comes out with better.
I dedicate both of these to girls who may not have the best looking "mamas"...prove these guys wrong.

Its about time you posted another blog. I delayed my bloggings as well. Personally I have beef with Juvenile. He's an asshole. I met him more than once.
Yes, I have been very bad with posting lately. I think it is a combination of just being really busy, and feeling like no one would notice if I didn't post anyway. Thank you for noticing! haha. It motivated me to actually post again.
Somehow I am not surprised that Juvennile could be a disappointment as a person. I'd like to hear about these encounters.
