CD Mix Challenge...

I never thought I'd be doing one of these things as I hate them so much. Don't get me wrong I like reading them on other people's pages but I had never planned to do one just because I like my stuff to be different over here. Ya dig? So I found one that I hadn't seen anywhere else and that actually seems like it might be fun. So here's the challenge. From your own musical background, construct a CD song list in the following format.

1) A favorite political track.
Fight the Power by Public Enemy.
Do I even need to explain that one? Didn't think so.

2) One of those tracks that make you dance on the dancefloor no matter what.
Family Affair by Mary J. Blige.
Dre killed this beat. She could be
singing about getting pissed on and it would be hot.

3) The song you’d use to tell someone you love them.
Ready for Love by India.Arie.

4) A song that has made you sit down and analyze it’s lyrics.
Most of my favorite songs are by rap artists. You don't
try to analyze that crap.

5) A song that you like, that a two year old would like as well.
I Believe I can Fly by R. Kelly.
R. Kelly loves the kids! Hey get your mind out of the gutter!

6) A song that gives you an energy boost.
Yeah by Usher.
But don't most Lil Jon songs do that?

7) A song that you and your grandparents (would probably) like.
Dance with My Father by Luffa Vandross.
I love this song despite me and my dad's relationship.
I should blog about that one day.

8) A song that you really liked when you were 14-16, and still really like now.
Rush Rush by Paula Abdul. HA!
Ok seriously I would go with Summertime by Jazzy Jeff
and The Fresh Prince

9) A sad song that would be in the soundtrack of the movie about your life.
I've been Loving You Too Long to Stop Now by Otis Redding.
Just about any sad Otis song.

10) A peppy song that would start the opening credits of the movie about your life.
Let's Get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas.
Shoot me right now.

11) A good song from a genre of music that no one would guess that you liked.
You're Still the One by Shania Twain.
Ok just about any song by Shania, Garth Brooks, and Kenny Rogers.

12) A song that you think should have been playing when you were born.
I'm a King by T.I.
C'mon how easy was that?!

13) A favorite artist duo collaboration.
Does all Outkast songs count?
Ok then whatever the name of the song that Jay-Z and Nas do together.

14) A favorite song that you completely disagree with (politically, morally,
commonsenically, religiously etc.)
H.O.V.A by Jay-Z. Stop calling yourself that Jay!

15) The song that you like despite the fact your IQ level drops several points
every time you listen to it.
So Fly by Three Six Mafia.
Again just about any song by these characters.
Their lyrics are ridiculous but the beats are hot.

16) Your smooth song, for relaxing. Let's Chill by Guy. Oh my God I'm old.

17) A song you would send to someone you hate or are mad at.
Beat It by Michael Jackson.
After all that MJ has been through doesn't
that song sound a little suspicious now?

18) A favorite track from an outfit considered a “super-group.”
Was Color Me Badd a super-group? I crack myself up!
The only super-group I can think of is The Firm.
So I'll say Phone Tap by The Firm although
that album should've been a lot better.

19) A song that makes you reminsce about good times with a family member.
My mom loves The Temptations so whenver I hear one
of their songs I think of how excited she gets especially
when the opening line
of Ain't too Proud to Beg comes on..."I know you wanna leave me..."
Which reminds me of the greatest character in movie history.
The GREAT David Ruffin. "The Temptations without David Ruffin
is some fake ass Temps!" Bobby Brown has a long way to
go to reach David Ruffin status.

20) Your favorite song at this moment in time. I hate to admit it but probably Bow Wow's Fresh Azimiz.

Ok my little pretties that's my list now you all have to do one too or.....ummm.....Oh just do one will ya!

Ain't nobody comin' to see you Otis!!!

LOL! I really like this. Summertimes is THE summer jam...for me, it's just not summer until I hear the prince say "2 miles an hour so everybody sees you."

TTD said...

that will be hard for me to do.. but i'll try my best (if i feel like it later on today!)

MZPEACH said...

I am going to do this too. I liked it, cute.

TTD said...

where's everyone?? everybody has been extremely quiet since like last week... my days have become longer =(

Ddot the King said...

Beats me Tif. I've been really busy all day but it's slowing down a little. I'm sure yesterday's incident is keeping certain people away but who knows.

TTD said...

even kween is quiet.. and that's not like her..

nikki said...

i LOVE THIS! i'm so excited! now i gotta come up with a list...

Drama Kween said...

I have been working on my list and then i took a lil nap...lol, but i am here now

TTD said...

a nap! man i miss living less than 10 min away from my job! those lil' quick naps are the best!

MZPEACH said...

Nikki is going to have Frank Sinatra on her list..lol.

nikki said...

damnit!

and you're right. i'm gonna have frank sinatra on my damn list. LOL

Ddot the King said...

Man if I were to take a nap on lunch break they wouldn't see me until the next morning!

Ddot the King said...

Frank Sinatra?! You gotta explain that one.

nikki said...

nothing to explain really. frank sinatra is one of my favorite musical artists. i love his voice. it evolved from young and brash to old and smokey from cigarette ash and i enjoyed listening to it transform as he grew older.

and he was usually accompanied by the best musicians, so the sound behind him was always tight. duke ellington, count basie, louis armstrong...all those cats put down music behind him.

plus, i'm a romantic at heart, and alot of the songs he sang back then were about love.

damn, that ended up being more than i thought it'd be...

Ddot the King said...

Good deal. I can dig that Nikki.

TTD said...

yeah.. me too.. but my home girl likes the bee gees..lol.. i think that is hilarious!

Drama Kween said...

that list took me forever but it is now done

Cool AC said...

I will do one. I liked it. But not today, maybe later this week.

Ddot the King said...

yall really are boring me today!!!

nikki said...

see, that's what you get for looking to us to amuse you, d.

see, a king who really had his shit together would go out into the world and seek his pleasure, not sit around waiting for folk to come to him. LOL

Ddot the King said...
