Impossible that will be career suicide for Missy!!!

minneapolisgenius said:

Alright!!! That's one. Who else...

gman1966 said:

And why is that? I'm sure Missy considers Madonna one of her influences.

DavidEye said:

Are you kidding!!! In what way as far as how the business is run because that is the only Madonna would influence anyone!!!

So,gman are you enjoying the new Madonna single? What's your favorite part? Do you like the rap?

Come on,we know you're blasting it right now

DavidEye said:

You know it!!!

gman1966 said:

And of course we know you're gonna buy the CD in April,right?

DavidEye

You never answered my question in a earlier post. You seem to know everything else about that no-singing, no-dancing, plain-jane ass Madonna!!!

DavidEye said:

Yeah right...

gman1966 said:

Let's see,your question was...


When will the new CD be released? The answer is April 22:)

DavidEye said:

well, lyrically, that small rap portion is cheesy. And it's just a bad sounding rap. It's cool though, not all white people can rap just because beastie boys can.

DavidEye said:

Which means it will be leaked within the next 2 or 3 weeks..god bless MIRC!!!

DavidEye said:

So it's more Mirwais stuff? I always thought the breakdown in "Music" sounded a lot like "Murder Was the Case."

DavidEye said:

Well all I'm hearing is the snippet which gives no idea good or bad. And I've never had a soy latte so I can't relate to the lyrics.

Who has actually d/l this from kazaa? Every copy I try to get is really "American Pie".

The Lyrics r obviously tongue-in-cheek, Madonna style.
she's spoofing rappers and her own tabloid persona.

DavidEye said:

yeah it will&it doesn't really need a Video but I could hear a Missy Re-Mix there with some Busta Type Claps in there.

mrdespues said:

Yeah I downloaded it there and it sounds just like her verison of American Pie.

VinnyM27 said:

i tried this as well and my version(s) of american life sound like The Next Best Thing, Tori Amos covering Losing My Religion, and a long 3 minute stretch of silence...
oh well, i'll just try and get some new george michael instead!

DavidEye said:

It's true, they are both marginally talented, albeit shrewd businesswomen, and both rely heavily on the talent of other people to sell records!

NuPwrSoul said:

Yes,this is definitely another Mirwais production.From listening to that little clip,you can tell that this song sounds VERY Dre-like.

Martinelli said:

Exactly.But I think alot of people are gonna miss the sarcasm and the humor of it all.

3 nannies!!
I thought she only had 2 kids.
Is the third for her husband?

mrdespues said:

that and you can't find shit on it. with kazaa-lite, there's an unlimited search function now.

"American Life" lyrics (the complete song)---


Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?

I tried to be a boy,I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess,I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong,that's why I wrote this song
This type of modern life---is it for me?
This type of modern life---is it for me?

I went into a bar looking for sympathy
A little company---I tried to find a friend
It's more easily said,it's always been the same
This type of modern life---is it for me?
This type of modern life---is it for me?

(chorus)
American Life
I live the American life
You are the best I've seen
You are not just a dream

I tried to stay ahead,I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part,but somehow I forgot
Just what I did it for and why I wanted more
This type of modern life---is it for me?
This type of modern life---is it for me?

Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?

(chorus)
American Life
I live the American dream
You are the best I've seen
You are not just a dream

I tried to be a boy,I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess,I tried to be the best
I tried to find a friend,I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top

Fuck it...
Yeah,fuck it!

(the rap)
I'm drinking a soy latte
I get a double shote'
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drive my mini-cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and palates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotopes
this metaphysics' shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
Then you know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies,an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardner and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing is as it seems


Do I have to change my name?
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name?

Fuck it!

Aaron,were you able to download the entire song yet? I heard it on the radio again today!

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

Unfortunately there a lot of imposters posting fake "American Life" files...American Pie being the most common...make sure that when you position your mouse over the file before downloading, it says "American Life" in the title AND filename...(many do not). By the way I am still downloading it...I was up late last night and was too tired to download it all.

AaronUnlimited said:

that too! kazaa lite kicks kazaa's arse.
