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

Monday, May 19, 2008


♫ 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.

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).

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~

“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.

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.

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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.

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.

37.

FADERADE

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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

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..

39.

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

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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…

42.

chocie!!!!

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

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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..

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.”

51.

LMFAO @ # 46!

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

52.

Have Not Thought of a New User Name

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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!

53.

jus my opinion

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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.

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.

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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!

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

59.

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.

67.

whatthef...

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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!

Hello…did anyone listen to the words of the song???
She’s talkin about the game that we all play on saturday nites in the clubs…
To the independent women….she’s talkin bout the same b.s yall be talkin bout. Basically, she’s just speakin about what girls be thinkin when dudes is just tryin to cut….what’s wrong wit that

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.

71.

Simple

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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!!

72.

ummm no

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday, May 19, 2008 /

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

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).

76.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 /

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

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.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 /

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. . .

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.
