Meow!!!

I'm in a rare clubbing mood this week and that's why I thought, why not make my next post about some dance music? I'm practical like that. The song below is Give It To Me by Timbaland along with the usual suspects Nelly Retardo and Justin Timberfake.

The music isn't bad and the beat actually sounds pretty fresh but recent buzz is all about this being a 'beef' song. Not the good kind, which you could turn into a nice big steak or grind into a burger but rather the rappers-throwing-down-their-gauntlets type of 'beef'. Most of the media reports have centered around Timberlake 'dissing' Janet Jackson in a vicious nasal put-down at the end of the track (think angry geese). No doubt inner city kids everywhere establish their street-cred by singing insults at forty-year-old women. Post-'N Sync Justin is one tough cookie you don't want to mess with. What will he do next? Shoot Paula Abdul in a drive-by?
