Big Boi is back with his new single “Ringtone” featuring yours truly on ElectroSpit (aka “talkbox”) and back ground vocals! I got the call at about 1AM one night from my friend Chris Carmouche, Big Boi’s main engineer at Stankonia in Atlanta. He said “Big wants you to do your magic on this new cut… he thinks it’s gonna be a single!” So of course I arrived on the scene a few minutes later and put down some nasty ElectroSpit tracks to complement the classic Big Boi lyrics…and here we are with Big Boi’s 1st single of 2009!

The song “ Just F*ckin” is usually misinterpreted to be about a man wanting to use women for sex. The song is really about being honest about what you want. The man is clearly stating that he doesn’t want an exclusive or “serious” relationship with this woman. Whereas the woman is not being honest by agreeing to this relationship in the hopes of changing his mind (perhaps with some of that good good ( ; ).

When a man tells a women upfront that he is only interested in a sexually relationship with her, and she agrees to partake in the relationship on that level, why is it usually seen as the mans fault if things turn sour? Is there something so wrong with admitting you enjoy screwin the dog sh*t out of someone without wanting to put a ring on his or her finger? Do most women have a tendency to be unrealistic about their inability to maintain a low level of emotional attachment after sex or are they just lyin to kick it?

On the topic of keeping it real: How many women out there who claim they want a “Real Man” are lying to themselves? Ladies – isn’t it true that when asked what a real man is to you it includes one who is not a “dog”, is truthful, takes care of his responsibilities etc. etc? So then “Good Guys”- Why does it seem like the saying “good guys finish last” is being proven over and over again in the dating scene? In ” The Truth” I explore this topic. Here is a guy who has his proverbial shit together. He has a successful career, but is not defined by material items. He knows what he wants and has in life and is not afraid to share it with the right deserving women. It seems men in this position often find that women take them for granted and are more attracted to men who over promise with fairy tales and rarely if ever deliver. Why is this the case? Is it because we have been socialized to believe that “Bad Boys” or “Tough Guys” are more desirable because they are harder to obtain? And once you win the heart of one you find yourself trying to change him to a nice guy…so is it just about the challenge? Is it because nice honest guys are seen a push over’s and not protectors/providers and equated with feminine traits? Or is it that women have been socialized to believe they should want what they have been told is a “good guy” to marry without taking the time to really analyze and realize what this term means to them? What do you think?
