YAWN!!!!!!!!!
It’s a damn shame we don’t have any black female emcees doing anything really original nowadays.
That’s probably why all these white chicks don’t have no shame spell/rapping their way through songs, backed up by black male producers.
This song was mediocre, and I usually like Mya, but her voice sounded like she was on helium.

what is goin on wwith female mc’s (well all mc’s for that matter)? They’re all concerned with lookin pretty and makin commercial hits! I’ll pass for now. Nobody grabs my attention anymore (atleast not commercially)- it’s been atleast 3 years since I’ve watched MTV or BET. . . Where are the Rah Digga’s at?

i think i read in vibe vixen about penelope jones going to jail over a drug offense for a man-dumb. this song is dumb, too. why would someone who threw years of their life away because of prison, rap about throwing MORE years of her life away waiting for somebody else to get out of prison-ignorant. mya sounds horrible, like she had the flu while recording. neither ladies look that cute in their respective outfits, and thats saying a lot b/c i always love the way mya looks.
@20-oh please, can you blame people for wanting more from their music then this medicore bullshit? it’s not hating, it obviously a matter of opinion, because you’re impressed by this chick, and i’m not.

I thought that the song was okay. It was pretty good. Mya’s voice sounded a bit different though. But I think that they should have picked someone else singing the hook for this song.

I’m not that crazy about the song. It’s o.k. Mya’s voice sounds totally different. If I had heard this song on the radio without anyone announcing who it was, I would have never guessed it was her.

I like the song but I didn’t know that it was from August of 06.Mya looked pretty luv her!can’t wait for her album to drop it’s gon be fiyah!It’s about time that all the real female singers come back and drop albums like Mya,Whitney,Brandy etc.My girl Monica already came back with a hot album, although she wasn’t really given her props this time around,I didn’t see her video for Dozen Roses not one time,and her whole album was good.So tired of all these nonsinging female artists,I guess nowadays being a good dancer is all you need,I guess dancing seems to be more important than being a good singer(whatever)also i’m so tired of people trying to make ciara be so special…I mean she can’t sing all she can do is dance,personally I think she should just be a choreographer,that’s why she always gotta dance in all her videos because her singing sucks!and no I’m not hatin that’s just my opinion.

Song is ok. sumthin to sing a long to. BUT damn Mya has been out for a while now, she shouldnt still be doing this little low budget shit, with unknown artist. Like she still trying to get recognized. She really needs to give it up. Well maybe she’s satisfied with her career, who am i to say? But overall the song was ok.

Is it just me oe does penelope jones look like she has plastic surgery. I remember hearing her story awhile back about the whole being in prison thing, I think in Vibe or something, I remeber thinking she was a cute girl to have gone thru so much, but in this video…I don’t know if it was an image thing or what but she looks different…Like she had a nose job or something she didn’t need! Anyway as far as the song goes hated it! and I know Mya can do better than this, maybe her voice was altered in the studio or something, whatever the case it sounds horrible!
43.

Sunday, March 25, 2007 /
Ya’ll forget that Mya can sing in different tunes and her voice has also matured since her last album…She looks great…Although I am a huge Mya fan, I didn’t like the tone of her voice in this song…but after watching the video, it made me like the song even better…Mya is prolly the best looking female R&B singer out there….Cop her new album on June 26th..her video is being shot this coming week

Yeah I do admit (for a longstandting Mya fan) that Mya has sounded better 10 times too. What I am happy about is that ALL you haters agree. LOL Mya usually gets little love on this site.
It was just OK but I do hope Mya’s video comes out before this so people don’t sleep on her after hearing her delivery in this song.

Mya is SEXY! Damn! I don’t care what she talking about!
just thinking….how nice would this world be if we (as black people) wouldn’t write ignorant songs like “I know you caught a case, but we gone make it through..” It’s like we just accept the fact that we always getting caught in the system. we seem to glorify everything negative. I just wish we can change it, but it’s never gonna change…
The songs not that serious, but I was just thinking..

I love my black people but DAMN can we stop saying poisonous things about every BLACK person who Dares to want to be a celeb .SOME of it is true but PLEASE lets give People a chance BEFORE we judge them!!!OR would some you guys just prefer if we were not allowed to have money or fame or success, cos sometimes the things people on CL say sound like the kind of things a white supremacist would say about us.SLAVERY is now over lets start living like it is!!!!!!!

Can people find another word besides “hater”? That’s so 2001, please be more original.
Didn’t nobody call Mya ugly and talentless, it was simply said that the song was wack. Every artist releases or is featured on a wack song or sounds shitty from time to time, shit happens. Even legends like Janet and Madonna have released wack songs. That’s not the end of the world, breathe.

There are plenty of great female rappers, the thing is that most labels or crew gets 1 female rapper and feel like she’s enough. Also, A lot of labels want to keep signing the next Lil Kim, just like how they want to keep signing a watered down and materialistic 2Pac koon. Before these rich white men got involved with buying hip hop, we had PLENTY of diverse rappers (male and female). It was more true too, because rappers weren’t making money. It wasn’t about the money, it was about the love and passion for hip hop. They are the artists who weren’t willing to sell out. Then you have a group of hip hop lovers posers, who are willing to sell out for a gold chain. They do what ever the label wants.
Ok back to this song: It’s not good.

Can’t more people back this girl up, she is great! I was not expecting this video to drop one bit, I have always liked Penelope. I found her through Tyra’s ‘get no ooh wee’ video which she was in. I loved ‘Miss me with that foolishness’ and then this song, then I never heard anything more from her
So seeing this is great, go girl!!! You deserve great success!!!! x

Thank you #50 Chante… It gets on my last nerve the way people come on here and make stuff up in order to have something to argue about or to call someone a hater over…
No one on here has stated that Mya was ugly, yet people are on here getting upset when most of us said the song is wack… How does that have anything to do with the girl’s looks or talent???
How is it that just because most of us don’t like the song, suddenly we don’t like Mya or we are hating on her??? The song sucks, hardly anyone said Mya did!!!

Not impressed. She (peneople) has to come better than that. Mya needs to get her own project out. She is about to be forgotten in minute or has she been already.

Yo, totally agreeing with “TI” as far as real female singers, and everybody is on point as far as Penelope Jones, and the fall of female M.C.’s. Since M.C. Lyte, there really has not been a real good female M.C. out there, and when they do catch a breathe of fresh air like Lil Kim, Foxy, they always have to screw it up with some mad azz drama and not keep the tracks locked and making real good credible rap music. This is not good Mya, nor is this chick Penelope. Sad, but true. Maybe “rap is dead” like Nas said?
