j-lo's new song

J-Lo has a new track out "Jenny From The Block". The track features the Lox and samples from songs by black artists. Also she spends most of the song talking about how humble and grounded she is...kind of hypocritical considering the recent MOBO controversy I think. How about you all?

I heared it 2day and seems to me that she needs Ashanti or Christinah Millian to sing 4 her lol here's the lyrix:

Rap

From Livin’ Color to Movie Scripts
To On The Six, to J.Lo, to This
Headline Clips
I stay grounded
As the announce rollin’
I’m Real I thought I Told ya (I’m Reeeal)
I’m really been on Oprah
That’s just me
Nothin phony
don’t hate on me
What you get is what you see

Chorus x2
Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got
I’m Still (I’m Still) Jenny from da Block
I used to have a lil now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from
(South South Bronx)

I pound the earth like this
Rockin this business
I’ve grown up so much
I’m in control and lovin’ it
*something has got me laughin *something* (laugh)
I love my life and my public
Put God first
And can’t forget to stay real
To me it’s like *something* yeaaah

Chorus x2

Rao (change of beat)

Chorus till end

Ohhh Lord does she has to mention the Bronx EVERY TIME?
Its getting annoying, she is getting annoying!
LOL a lot of my Latina friends say "I wish she would just shut the hell up and stop telling everybody that she's from the f-cking south Bronx becoz its getting a lil' bit too embarrassing 4 us" LMFAO you damn right 'Angelina'

Ya'll know I have to give my twocents on J-Lo.

First, I like the song. No, it's not the most brillant piece of music ever written, but it's catchy and perfect for radio.

Second, J-Lo giving a shout out to the Bronx is no different than Nelly giving a shout out to St. Louis on EVERY record, or any other rapper giving a shout out to their 'hoods.

Third, no one would ever have heard of Ashanti or Christina Milan if they hadn't written the lyrics for J-Lo's songs.

Fourth, J-lo's my girl and though I too am tired of the constant publicity about her love life, current projects, exs, etc, such is the life of a celebrity. She knows that as soon as people stop talking about her, her stardom will fade. And everyone is doing exactly what she wants them to do, which is to hate on her and talk about her constantly because it keeps her name in the spotlight.

J Lo should not b a singer. That applied 2 David Hasselhoff and she is not exempt either, imo.

That is a very cruel statment. These things should not be wished upon ANYONE.

...

I wonder if that Mobo thing was just really a lie to stir controversy, since 'they' know that J.Lo hardly gets any love from around the way, but even if true, I got my opinion on that also.

Sorry Mixxx, Selena is DEAD. Jennifer just won a role in a movie. People didn't seem to like her in the movie anyhow, so how did she steal her career? Puffy did NOTHING for her career except destroy it, how could she think of kissing that cricket? She is still trying to regain her dignity after that (Whitney/Bobby) mistake. And Chris Judd must have a little dick and was just riding jlo to have a dancing job. Where is he now? hmmm? You need to quit dissing and aplaud her for not hooking up with Prince.

"She is trying to regain her dignity after that (Whitney/Bobby) mistake?"

Oh gimme a break! When it comes to romance,J-Lo has no more "dignity" left.In only five years,she has already gone through *TWO* quick marriages that each barely lasted a year.Now she's acting like it's "the real thing" with Ben Affleck,but we all know she will drop him too,as soon as she finds her next "victim".She's planning to make a movie with Will Smith next year.Jada should be worried...

Prince was with Susannah from 1984 til early 1987,he was with Mayte from at least 1995 to 1999,and he and Mani have already been married over a year now with no signs of a divorce or separation.

J-Lo got married in 1997 to some unknown club manager.In 1998(a year later),they divorced.In Septemeber 2001,she married Cris Judd (apparently for the sole purpose of getting back at Puffy) and they are now getting a divorce.Currently,she is with Ben Affleck but we all know how this will turn out...lol...

Amazingly,she did manage to stay with Puffy for more than a year,so we'll cut her SOME slack wink

I think I only liked 'Play', yet, I'm not sure if I liked this purely for the tune, or the way she looked in the video. Hell, so many 'poptasticals' cash in with their quims or supposed manliness... It speaks little to me of true talent and artistic creativity. Poncing off other artists in such a blatant way for a 'hit'... we all know what this is all about. So I haven't heard her new one and have no desire to listen to it. I suppose 'Play' is ok for the league it is in. I make no mistake which league I'd rather be 'playing', pardon the obvious pun.
