I guess dance music isn't supposed to exist anymore. I didn't realize we couldn't like a fun song for the sake of its fun-ness. I didn't think that I could just turn on my ipod for a gym jam, or play something in the radio for on my way to the club with my girls. When did we all get so serious? Anytime anything that is beat driven comes on the radio, everyone throws a huge fit and asks why something that has a catchy beat and a memorable hook is popular. Songs like that have ALWAYS been made, and no one ever said it was the ruin of society as we know it. I dunno. Maybe I just haven't turned into my mother quite yet, longing for the "good old days." I mean, when I was that age, I was listening to Cash Money and N*Sync (I was versatile, LOL). So, I guess I don't see what the problem is. I have a much bigger problem with kiddies listening to R. Kelly than V.I.C. Someone want to explain for me?

i couldn't agree more that Get Silly ish is just that --> silly as hell, I blame Soulja idiot, the ying yang twins and lil jon for this ish that is over running the music today as well as the youth that snap and pop to this stupid ish....demand more people!!!

Awww, leave cee-lo alone... He actually look kinda normal in this flick... I mean yeah he's rocking slippers and socks... buuuut atleast everything is either black and/or white *shrugs*

People need to calm down,its something differnt from the norm,besides the song is mad funny.

Does anyone realize he talks about "twisting up a philly" in his chorus? He appeals directly to a younger age group so of course some adults aren't going like him. I feel sorry for children in this time and age b/c they are on a destructive path if they can look forward to more songs encouraging the use of drugs. smh

ALICIA INNOCENT!!!! Swizz Beatz DISMISSED the rumors about ALICIA being the “other woman” : The big rumor in the tabloids is that Swizz and his wife broke up over the proverbial “other woman.” What made the story so sensational was that the alleged mistress in this case was Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Swizz dismissed it. He said the tabloids TWISTED MASHONDA’s words and she never said Alicia was the mistress. But obviously I can't post the link...

If you can't get down with the music of today that means you are getting old. REMEMBER what your parents thought of hip hop when you where young. They too thought it was crap. You are getting old, but its ok we all do.

Thanks for the addressing the foolishness! I'm 28 and I hate listening to my so called local hip hop station, I have to listen to the oldies but goodies station. It's out of control, all the ecords labels do is make their money off these young kids, the sad things is Soujah fool hasn't had a hit since Crank dat!

I love the "extra basic" description you gave but you know, with so much of the degenerate lyrics of the past, I'd go for this any day.

Well I think the days of quality music with meaning was lost the day someone signed soulja boy!.... ok dont get me wrong its great for children but why are big people paying this child too much respect when he is not exactly teaching anything but jibberish.... quality artist like Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, Naz, Easy E, Dre they all had to work hard to get where they are and now we are allowing at ten year old to explode like he has actually done well for society.... so not impressed with the "had all F's on my report card and ask my teacher to throw some D's on it!....my days!....and then at the end "just playing kids stay in school and the sarcastic grin is really having kids believe you..... I totally agree a reality check is SO needed and someone has to show this boy the way forward...he is now carrying a big burden on his shoulders as there are lots of children looking up to him...... Go visit Wyclef Soulja Boy...before you reach 30 and look back with regrets....yes its nice to make money but also consider what sort of a role model you want to be...

I'm going to have to disagree with Natasha on the lookin' boy song. I think it's funny.

I still crack up thinking about that! I like MC Eight's character (can't remember his name). Whoo, even when I was a little girl I liked them thugs.[/quote] Oh wait, I think MC Eight was in Menace. Damn, lol.

That pic of Cee Lo is NOT at any London airport... it's taken outside of the Sanderson Hotel in Soho, London... a great hotel - if you ever in London you should stay there or just hit "the Long Bar" for a drink and some stunting...

the reason that soulja boy n V.I.C. r goin on top is bcuz ppl want change n i dont kno bout V.I.C. but soulja boy n lil mama have a different sound to kids like the rappers r all about how much money they got n how many hoes they got n bling n shit n the kids r 2 tired of listining to the same thing over again and lookin at the same videos wit girls dancin all around wit barely any clothes n they want rap they can dance to n i think soulja boy n lil mama got talent but the rest ummm no comment lol

I can't believe I am about to type this but.... I acutally like the get silly song... I live in atlanta and work with high school kids all day... they rub off on you LOL....

I still get heartbroken whenever I hear one of his songs......"I Get Around"...One of my all time favorites from him...Oh and "You Wonder Why They Call You a Bitch* Loves it!!!![/quote] Now that's what makes it good music! When you hear it ten years later and you go crazy! I can't imagine anybody losing their mind when Soulja Boy Tell 'Em comes on the radio in 2018.[/quote] So true....[/quote] I actually think someone would - maybe we won't but some of these kids might. its all relative. Some things we hear on the radio now that makes us go crazy doesn't have the same effect on our parents.

So you would rather let your kids listen to some " i'm going to shoot you...hoe this... b!itch that...? It's for the kids let them listen to it. "Get Silly" is a dance song, who cares about the lyrics? It's the beat, and i believe Soulja Boy killed that beat. The reason you don't get the Lupe, Common, or "conscious rap" is because that's not what the youth is checking for. I bet when you are in the club, you not going to be dance to "conscious rap or hip hop" you will be dancing to songs like "Get Silly".

I'm tired of all this minstrel show type hip-hop I am a hip hop fan what happened to music that let people know what was going on in our communties. Our music use to empower us and I guess music execs did not like that so they sale us this coonish music so we forget. :("I guess it's cool as long as the music keeps us dancing."):

I must say, I like Get Silly & Lookin' Boy. While they are garbage as far as content goes, I think they are just nice little catchy summer songs and I bump them both on my iPod DAILY!!

[quote comment="120199"]Totally true Brainwashing that azz! I remember when I woudl sit my by radio and pray they would play boys 2 men again so I could hit the record button to record to my casset tape. And they wouldn't play it till 9:30 -10:00 and you know I had to go to sleep by then! LOL[/quote] WOOOWW u took it way back with that one... yea I used to do that too. AWWWWW the memories
