Pop Music I Like
This is the second installment of the “Justify my bad music taste to Wendy” project. This time, we’ll be dealing with a variety of pop, hip-hop, and rap music, and trying to pick out the songs that are more than just a catchy tune, but truly classic. For the entire series, please see:
 |
Ciara
From her debut album Goodies comes “1, 2 Step,” the smoothest club song I heard in ‘06, and “Goodies” and “Oh,” two slower, sexy ghetto ballads. Her new album Evolution has “Get up” with Chamillionaire, definitely the hottest track of 2007. Her voice isn’t bad, too. |
 |
Missy Elliott
Missy Elliott has produced too many albums to list here; the major attraction to her music is its unique variety and excellent production. In no particular order, here are my favorite tracks: Gossip Folks, I’m Really Hot, Teary Eyed, Work It, Get Your Freak On, Lose Control, and Pass That Dutch. |
 |
Mariah Carey
Oh I love everything!! Charmbracelet, Merry Christmas, and the Emancipation of Mimi are my favorite albums. In order, I love Yours, One & Only, Your Girl, Hero, All I Want For Christmas Is You, My All, and Breakdown. |

Robin Thicke
I’ve only heard “The Evolution of Robin Thicke,” but I like from it the songs Got To Be Down, Would That Make You Love Me, All Night Long, and Wanna Love You Girl. |
 |
Lil’ Wayne
With a cameo on Destiny Child’s hit song Soldier, Lil’ Wayne got popular. Choice tracks: Stuntin’ Like My Daddy, Fireman, Like a Dboy, and Hustler Music. It’s not the lyrics, but the delivery of them that’s unique here. Imagine how the internal rhymes of “And I don’t even need a G pass I’m pass that / I’m passing em out now and you can’t have that” run. |

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Do they rap? Are they singing? Listen to No Way Out, Can’t Give It Up, Playa, Wrong v.s. Right, and their cameo on Frankie J’s Priceless and get back to me! |
That’s all for now, gentle readers. There’s at least three more posts coming, though, so stay tuned!

I believe that’s Hammer representing Bone Thugs (maybe you know something I don’t….)
