♫ 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.

  1. Tiffy

  2. Jahmaad

  3. Nadia

    This song is crap, lyrically and musically. It’s been done and this overuse of autotune is getting old

  4. S

    She sounda like a man!

  5. Mr.Rogers

    She looks like a bootleg Latoya Luckette and I personally like the first one a lot better

  6. Natalia

    Seriously…….I could write a song about toliet paper and it would be a hit!

    It seems like all you need to put a song out these days is a semi-good beat.

  7. whatthef...

    Did anyone listen to the words of the song? She is basically sayin..” I know that in the club dudes are all just tryin to cut..and what she’s tryin to do is spend his money.” She’s talking about partying and the game that we all play on saturday nites.
    And to all the independent women..take a breath.
    SHE’S SAYIN THE SAME THING. LISTEN…THEN SPEAK!
    Im feelin u Mika Means!
    She’s the only real bia speakin the truth right now..reminscent of Kelis…
    All yall garden tools are trippin!

  9. whatthef...

    First and Foremost,

    There are always haters present in the game, and we appreciate every last one of you! You’ll be the reason why this chick blows up! I FUCKS WITH MIKA MEANS! Not only is she extremely talented, but she def has her own swag and musical style. What female artist can you compare her to now? NOT ONE! And you birds who keep saying she looks like Letoya Luckett need to get that cataract fixed and fallback! Although the song is dynamic and bold, you cannot judge MIKA by this one piece. MIKA’s entire body of work is phenomenal and you’ll figure it out once you’re beastin to get into one of her shows! MIKA’s a singer, rapper, writer, producer, actress and fuckin bad bitch! She’s multi-faceted and gives something different in all of her music Yes alot of females will hate because they don’t have the looks or “fuck with it if you want to” attitude. And dudes just can’t handle a strong woman, especially the ones who don’t have any money for her or any other woman to spend! Get on her level and you might realize how HOT she is.

  11. Simple

    Everything doesn’t have to be so deep…Every song doesn’t have to give some subliminal educated message. Some music is about having fun and dancin to a good bit. I’m feelin the tune!

    Big Ups to Mika!!

  12. ummm no

    MIKA’S FANCLUB ARE THE ONLY ONES POSTING HOW THEY LIKE THE SONG….YOU PEOPLE ARE CORNY

  13. TISHA

    Mika is hot to death!!! I love her sound and the movement she is apart of. She is the truth, singer, writer, dancer, a true artist!!! Check out her myspace page and you’ll see all that she is about! She’s even in the Jay Z “Show me What Ya Got”!!!! video!!!! You Go SIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. RoscoeSwagg

    This song is FYE..i feel as if you only offended if you as a man or woman dont have ya self together. If i got it my lady got it. Men appreciate woman who dont beat around the bush. Thats the difference between a gold digger and a woman. A gold digger gonna play with a mans emotions to get what they want. A woman gonna tell a man exactly what she want point blank. If you cant handle it young man get ya life straight then holl at meka..MEKA KEEP DOING YA THING YOU KNOW ITS A HIT CUZ THEY HATING…SWAGG OUT

  15. Sharonda

    I guess this is like Buy You A Drank part 55.Stuff like this floods the “hip-hop” stations in the south.And really slightly I’m bored with it.If I knew better, it sounded like a Lil Wayne with some singing talent, if that made sense.I mean I almost mistaken it for a dude.It’s ok, but this is not my type of song.Course I like the fun-type feel good songs.I don’t want to spend no man money IMO (since it’s being bought up lol).

  16. !

    Um… She sounds like a man & that vocoder mess is tired. A definite no on this.

  17. NateDogg

    Mika Means is dope and so artistic. The problem is the way Americans critique. No one is able to stand in their own lane here. They call it the land of the free but its more like the land of comparisons. Everyone is compared to everyone else. It’s a shame that you really have to be commercial and sell-out a bit in order to reach a certain level of success. I personally appreciate Mika and rock her on my Ipod each day. Her simplicity is divine. It reminds me of 90′s music. When music was phenominal and innovative. I bet yall listen to that Madonna and Justin shit don’t you? As for you “independent” women…who don’t like the lyrical content. She may be gold digging a bit in this particular situation but I think its an acceptable rebuttle to the man in the song…He just wants to fuck. She’s saying fuck that… but Ill spend your damn money. But yall can’t see that.. its cool. Yall can’t help. Yall gon’ learn.

  18. YV

    That shit is hot…stop hatin….and “I got a dolla” for all u haters….! Zone 4 nigga!

  19. taliabear

    i love this song except i think she kinda ruined it at the end when she was sayin “wut were your expectations” i thought it was a bit out of character for the song…idk it just kinda didnt sound like it belonged there but this is a hit

  20. DANI

    depressing….when we will get out of this chicken head materialistic mentality?

  30. TRUTHFULLYCUTE08

    NOT FEELING THE LYRICS…AND IS IT JUST ME OR WAS I THE ONLY ONE THOUGHT A MAN WAS SINGING…

  31. NikkiMustSayIt

    I must say,

    The song is catchy, cool, and on a although on a 1-10 scale, I personally would give it a 5, I’m sure it could be a semi-hit these days, since everyone these days is looking for an anthem to rock to. Only thing I see wrong with it is the T-Pain voice and all the singing in general. . . all of it’s trash. Very close though. . .

  32. nannie

    this song is gonna be my summer theme song.
    and i aint no gold digga but the beat is hawt.

  33. Kayla

    soooooo. this is a girl right seems to me she sounds like a straight up dude

  34. SteezAlmighty

    Sounds like everything else that’s out now. IT SUCKS! That’s why I listen to rock now.

  35. LoveIt

    i love this damn song
    i just rather her come out with her own sound or something close to different than now
    but altogether i love it and > just have jo hear it everyday

  36. NeeshNicefrom jersey

    Mika Means sounds like no other!!!!!! i love it!!!! What ever happened to appreciating an artist for writing their own material???? You haters are so narrow-minded and brainwashed that you can’t recognize a real artist when you see one. You guys would rather see some fake depiction of a black woman, half naked, shaking her behind next to Rick Ross than to support a woman who clearly knows what she wants, has an original concept and writes her own music. And are you guys listening to the same track I am???? For the ignorant earred hater- she clearly states that she knows the dude wants to cut so thats why her attitude is like well- i just wanna spend your money… Instead of attacking her for saying something that resides in the minds of ALL women- lets attack why our black men only look at us as pieces of meat to fornicate with!!! And for all you fake wanna be independent women- stop giving your coochie away for free and get a bill payed losers!!!!! When a black woman tryna get some help with a bill- she a gold digger but a white woman can take a black man to the bank every time and shes the victim….. what the hell??? Do ya thing Mika Means!!! We love u in Jersey.
