Ok I vote for Benicio (Ejam’s nephew) in the next Lalah Hathaway video
———————————————–
So its been about a week and a half since Lalah Hathaway’s “Self Portrait” has hit the streets. And if you don’t have it by now, something is wrong “in the state of Denmark” (A little Macbeth for yall). Please believe that you are missing out on some of the most incredible writing and singing EVER.
I come up with a favorite song every week every day. This week, today, my song is “Little Girl”.
…”Mama in that big old Lincoln…frying fish good to the bone. 2 Baby Girls…she did it all alone…Daddy in that big ole sky…ran fast…maybe too fast sometimes…always there…right here…pain and glory…on my FM dial.” Did everybody’s Mama have a Lincoln?

SO WICH SONGS ARE YOUR FAVORITE SONGS?
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I have to say my fav is let it go and breath only because thats as far as I got!!!!
but they will be in heavy rotation til…….
I get back to the rest, I am so glad the words are inside the cover, I like how she big letters YOU in all of the lyrics!!!
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:11 pm
E, I would have to say right this second. Now, I’m feeling tragic inevitability. Its a really deep song. I like how the lyrics end…everything happens for a reason. And if its by design, is it tragic. I’m torn on the notion. But the song is AWESOME.
E whats your favorite??
Mikki?
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:13 pm
‘I like how she big letters YOU in all of the lyrics!!!”
Yes YOU, ME, MAMA, DADDY

Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:25 pm

Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 1:32 pm
“I didnt even see the other big letters”
Thats because you have not gotten passed the first three songs. Right now I’m on a random listening kick. Where every song is a surprise.

I LOVE MOST OF THE SONGS
THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST ALBUM THAT LALAH HAS MADE
THE FACT THAT I LISTEN TO THE LYRICS (i neva do )
is woow
WHILE I AM LISTENING TO THIS RECORD ITS LIKE TIME STAND STILL and just me and the music are there
everything around me is still bussy
the music makes me calm …takes me to another dimension
THIS ALBUM is also more then a selfportrait
she invites us to read a journal to take a peak
we read it and listen
my favorite song are all songs
its not fair to choose a song
but to pick up a favorite
LET GO AND LITTLE GIRL
its more then just a record
its a story its a book its like a movie its more
for those who doesnt have buy it dont download buy it or at least take a listen
buy two and give someone this cd as a present
ps the benicio clip is now on the lalahtv
lalah loves it
