♫ HOT OR NOT: MIKA MEANS “SPEND YA MONEY”


♫ Mika Means – Spend Ya Money

Mika Means is 1/3 of the songwriting, producing and performing threesome, The Girls Club. You’ve never heard her music, but you’ve heard some songs that she’s penned. Mika has worked with artists Kelis, Mya, 3LW, Lloyd, and Usher, as well as producers like Polow Da Don and Bangladesh. But now she’s stepping out on her own and trying her luck. “Spend Ya Money” is a playful, mid-tempo track that speaks to a woman who knows what her man wants, but all she wants to do is spend his money.

When I first heard the track, the production put me in the mindset of “Soulja Girl.” The song is very radio-ready. I’ve seen Mika perform before, so I know this girl can sing. I’m thinking that the vocoder effect that T-Pain is most popular for using is just something to get her familiarized with radio. “Spend Ya Money” has been all over the radio here in Atlanta, after popular DJ Greg Street premiered it.

    She’s quite blunt with her message, isn’t she? I’m INDEPENDENT so I’m not feeling this song too much. I wish her the best, though.

  2. DH

    The song is catchy, but I can only imagine the “Battle of the Sexes” conversations that it will start (i.e. what happened when “No Scrubs” and “No Pigeons” were released).

  3. ms. jahjah

    yeah the song is ok.
    its like one of those songs u dont like but end up singing it by the end of the week…
    the msg is blunt, but i’m not feeling it….

  4. I luv spendin a dudes money as well, but I’m like #1…I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T! (thanks webbie)

    It’s catchy tho. I can see it being played on the radio.

  5. Da Glamourous 1...

    Wack a** hell… I couldn’t even listen to this ish for 30 seconds…It seems as though, anybody can come out with a song…

  6. I'ma HATE

    what the fuck… is she sposed to be the female T-PAIN? gtfoh… it’s catchy but this female aint finna win na’an award!

  7. Her vocals seem fairly decent but I just can’t get w/the lyric concept. Women wonder why men think they’re gold diggers and treat them as such b/c of songs just like this~

  8. joeinmemphis

    Sound like pure garbage. same ole same ole. played out and tired. where are hot summer jams at?

  9. Meal'J

  10. joeinmemphis

    Oh and its superficial too giving young ladies a bad look!

  11. @#2

    This is definitely a song ready to be put on blast just like “No Scrubs”…lol.

    I can’t front I did like “No Pigeons”

  12. Meal'J

    After listening to it all the way thru I HATE IT…..SHE SOUNDS STUPID., ..THE CHORUS IS WHAT I LIKE

  13. notbuyingit

    YOU SEE THAT”S WHY SOME MEN THINK THAT WOMEN ARE GOLDIGGERS. Because of stupid helpless chicks like her. This song is garbage and dang on shame.

  14. msthang

    Yall trippin..that ish is hott! I wanna put it on my page.. Where can I download it?

  15. MyBello

    This song is FIYAA I love it! I heard some of her other tracks and this chick is talented. More power to her for telling it how most won’t admit to.

  16. Hot Track

    I love the playfulness of the song. It’s definitly a summer banger!!

  17. Dame(stop talking to me u know better)

    Not

  18. Original Truth (I don't care if ya get mad)

    catchy but it sounds like everything else out here now

  19. Why spend mine when I can spend yours LOL!!!

    GO!!!

  20. Pass me an Advil...NOW!!

    its a catchy song i dont know about the lyrics..i know u wanna cut but i jus wanna spend yo money?…its like destiny’s child took a step forward with independent women and she kinda givin u chicks a bad name although im sure its some truth to what she saying lol…

    i would like to hear somethin else from her..she’s obviously very talented

  21. Leesa~Lisa

    It’s okay, but the beat sound like that Soulja Girl track.

  22. Meal'J

    SHE SOUNDS LIKE A MAN…….AND IT HAS TPAIN NAME ALL OVER LYRICS TRACK THE ARRANGEMENT AND EVERYTHING…..I AINT HATIN THO…..I was singing the chorus

  23. real talk

    dont get mad sing along..

  24. kaykay

    “worked with” in what respects? does she have writer or producer credits or doesn’t she? and are they on hits-i mean have we heard them if we didn’t have the album? I don’t feel like listening to the song but her style is tre unoriginal-80s punk, I haven’t seen this lately…

  25. vonnieluv

    I shouldn’t even comment b/c I didn’t like this song. She sounds like a dude and the song is only good for hood rats and gold diggers.

  26. Eve

    I hate the lyrics…Beyond wack….Its 2008!!!!!!…I handle my own…. Im with Webbie 2… I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. Make these dudes step up their money game!

  27. Focused1

    I don’t like this. It sounds a lot like something T-Pain would do, and I am past sick of him and that auto tune effect everybody is jumping on the band wagon by using it.

  28. ThisWasMeThen

    NOT! She sound like a damn gold digger. I’m feeling the production but the lyrics made me turn that shit off. SMH Seems like you can make a song about anything nowadays.

  29. ThisWasMeThen

    Oh, and does anybody else notice that she looks like LeToya Luckett in the second pic?

  30. Mz Fya

    She is amazing!!!

  31. Mz Fya

    She is amazing!!!!!!!!

  32. Mz Fya

    Change the background -its wack

  33. Mz Fya

    Angel La is Morbidly OBESE

    rolmfao

  34. M.Love

    She obviously CAN’T SING… why is she singing w/that voice instrument thingy!! That drives me nuts..the thing that T-Pain and Kanye use!!….She’s pretty nonetheless. If she’s going to use that instrument everytime she sings, she should just stick with writing lyrics and selling them.

  35. FADERADE

    She’s alright…but she sounds like a dude.

  36. Keisha

    I run my own tab up pretty high the club and pay for it before i leave!
    I don’t need some guy running me down for some ass afterwards.
    Might like the song if she didnt have that horrible ass voice affect
    on. People hate on T-Pain but everyone is jocking his shit…
    No one was thinking of that since the Teddy Riley days..

  37. MzTrici

    I honestly couldn’t tell if it was a dude singing or a female. WACK!

  38. likey

    she sounds a lil like beyonce

    …and the stans revolt!!!

  39. Intrigue216

    What is wrong with her throat? I know she’s doing the t-pain thing, but she sounds like a transvestite. Such a shame, writing about being a gold digger. Like someone else said, it just gives men a reason not to respect us and she is giving us a bad name. I really hope this song doesn’t blow up…

  40. chocie!!!!

    @ likey

    start ure revolt somewhere else honey!!! dat tape is played and played out, u hear sweetie????

  41. Lannette

    all three of them are garbage…next!!!!!

  42. SDotcarter

    THIS SONG AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT FROM THIS CAMP IS PURE GARBAGE…..CAN WE GET SOME REAL MUSIC…DDAYYYUUMMMM

  43. Wisdom Body

    she sounds like a guy

  44. RAWRRAWRRAWR

    No but really. Can we take a second.

    Close your eyes.

    Just listen to the song. This shit is ridiculous.

    that is all.

  45. I.N.T.O.

    Kinda tired of song like this. We need something new and refreshing. Oh… and a little positivity would be nice for a change.

  46. ummmm

    YOU BLACK WOMEN ARE SOME DAMN LIARS…YALL FEEL 1 WAY 1 SECOND…THEN DIFFERENT THE NEXT….YALL LOVE SPENDING ANYONE ELSES MONEY…YALL IN DENIAL FOR REAL..
    BUT DONT MAKE A SONG ABOUT IT…THEN IT WOULD LIKE WE AREN’T INDEPENDENT…OR WE’RE GOLD DIGGERS…EVERY WOMEN IS NOT LEGIT OR INDEPENDENT…BUT SINCE THE WEBBIE SONG CAME OUT…EVERY GIRL 15 TO 25 ARE MYSTERIOUSLY INDEPENDENT…
    I KNOW YALL GOT THE NURSE THING ON LOCK(BLACK WOMEN)BUT YALL NEED TO STOP THAT CONTRADICTING SHIT..

  47. Moe

    The song is ok, but oh girl sounds like a dude to me.hmmmm….thats not cool.

  48. Mz_K

    Also to #48, you’re a dumb fuck who needs to stop generalizing women. Just because SOME females are gold digging HOES does NOT mean the rest of us are. I’m in college trying to acquire a Ph.D in child psychology, what the hell I look like going around w/ my hand out? That goes for the rest of the WOMEN (not females and girls) who are trying to educated and better themselves. BOY please go sit down some damn where and grow up. Children generalize while adults take into consideration “everyone isn’t the same.”

  49. MakeItStop...

    LMFAO @ # 46!

    I agree 100%
    WTH is this crap??? “I just want to spend your money” You have to be kidding me. Ghetto HAM.

  50. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    This song sucks!

    I don’t hear anything special about her voice, so I will assume she can’t sing.

    The lyrics are horrible I don’t care if it’s true are not.

    This song sounds just as dumb as everything else out.

    FANTASIA TO MAKE A COMEBACK QUICK!

  51. jus my opinion

    where da hell has real music gone???? stop with the auto tune and hit some notes please!!!! yes there are gold diggers in the world but that is not the point…..THIS SHIT IS WHACK!!! they better leave that shit down south cuz i dont wanna hear it in nyc.

  52. Mika Means..
    i can see her doin it big..
    then becoming a one hit wonder.
    thiz song will be all ova tha radio..
    cuz ppl like to hear stuf like thiz.
    i mean..
    if it degreades ppl in sum sort of way..
    or iz soo pointless..
    ppl will SPEND THE MONEY on it.
    one thing iz that..
    i don’t like wen ppl alwayz copy off of one anutha.
    she didn’t have to do tha T-PAIN thing.
    thas wat he’s known for..n’ now evryone[&]they mutha are doin it.
    if she jst sang it w/o all tha synthesizin ish..
    i proli wuld’ve liked it mor..
    but im not sayin i don’t like it.
    it’ll grow on[me]..
    hopefully she has betta songs than thiz one..
    cuz itz jst aight to[me].
    but i do admit..tha hook iz pretty catchy..
    imma proli end up singin’ it all dai until it finally leaves[me].

  53. cc

    Never, ever, EVER in my life would I write a song like this. Aside from the fact that my momma and grandma would whoop my behind, but my daddy would knock me out too.
    I wouldn’t even bump this in my room by myself.

    To #48, yeah there are gold diggers, however, there are a lot of REAL INDEPENDENT WOMEN who are doing their own thing by themselves. Hello?? Have you never heard of STRONG BLACK WOMEN? If all you know is hypocritical and contradictory floozies, then maybe YOU doin something wrong! Get yo mind right FIRST, and you MIGHT start finding some real women.

  54. dee

    What the hell… can we get past this materialistic bullshit. I think I heard the first 10 seconds and was like a no go. Not only does she sound like a transsexual, but she sounds like an idiotic one at that. BITCH PICK UP A DAMN BOOK!

  55. dee

    LOL @ 46. Nuff said.

  56. Tina

    is it me or all these “singer/songwriters” out of ATL unoriginal and corny???? just redoing sounds and songs that have already been done, her group looks like a wanna be TLC which would be cool if they were original and didnt write crappy songs

  57. nite*vision

    it’s quite catchy…i hope she don’t catch nuthin out in the club offering it to whoever will pay.

    disappointing…i mean, getting money is one thing, prostituting is another…

  58. divainva

    She sounds like a man . T-Pain started this shit . Music is over . Entertainment and everything involved is ruined also .
