i'm way more hip-hop than originally thought

...and i'm usually a few years behind everything as well.


there was one thing in my letter to santa this year: a simple request for a mixed tape(cd) of the latest and greatest hip-hop/pop songs. a little rihanna, some chris brown, and a whole lot of mrs. beyonce...you know, whatever the kids are listening to these days.

i attribute my new appreciation for this genre of music to my recent conversion from the ipod to fm radio. that or the super mixes they play on repeat in aerobics ("...let's get physical") class. either way, i'm sold. and ready to dance.*

so you can imagine my excitement when a friend presented me with an early christmas gift.
a girl after my own heart
thanks linds. (you're a girl after my own heart.) and now i can get crazy all on my own, outside of the gym's aerobics room. -- a very merry christmas to me indeed.


*that's funny.

well when your forced to listen to the local hip-hop station in the warehouse for about 6 months straight you get familiar with some tracks.

make sure "no air" is on that mix cd too.

kayleen said...

"no air" is phas-ing me.

i am also way behind on my hip-hop. my current weakness: m.i.a. - all i wanna do. i don't even want to know what this says about me.

(by way of introducing my blog-stalking self, i found your blog through angela/camille. and i suspect karl reed is your brother-in-law? he and i were good friends in high school. it's such a small world in mesa)

Katie Taylor said...

too sweet. dave asks me to "put on some r&b" in the car. we bump beyonce.

Sarah Williams said...

ok love the WT christmas card.
i also must admit i really like "ALL THE SINGLE LADIES" anyone who can rock and dance aroundin just a leotard on SNL is awesome. if you haven't seen the clip w/ justin timberlake- check it. it made me even like jt a little bit.

diana said...

kayleen i had no idea... could it be that your mexican friend is rubbing off on you too?

sarah said...
