All So Eclectic--- J-hus Friendly


Would have written this earlier but my co-workers invited me for a "garri and groundnut get together" (in quotes because that's exactly what they called it...Lol). People of God! they took it so seriously. Like everything was complete for the shindig. The garri, sugar, groundnut and cold pure water (sachet water) all in abundance! It was really good though I made a real connection with a co-worker- the organiser!
Right! What I was I doing before the garri parry. I was watching Jhus new music video 'friendly'. I had listen to Dem Boy Paigon a really good song of his so when I saw a post on Facebook about this new song/video. I was totally stoked to watch it!
This post is basically a breakdown of the emotions I felt while watching the video. Right! Firstly, I hear an ad lib that goes "Aha Aha"🎶. He had the same adlib in Dem Boy Paigon. I'm like this British guy sounds really West African kinda like Fuse ODG
-But then I'm like yeah I have known this since Dem Boy Paigon...
Then he talks about his woody.
-I'm like typical... misogyny in a rap song.
And then he says he says 'he looks ugly but he is making sexy money'.
-I'm like 'yeah that's cool' (nodding my head).
And slowly I'm feeling the vibe of the song forgetting the misogynistic lyric earlier & then the chorus hits.
He starts rapping in Jamaican Patios
-Before I can say 'yeah this is my jam'. I'm already bopping my head and smiling. Totally forgetting I'm at work with people who can't hear what I'm listening to.
"And I just wanna get friendly with her friendly with her".
This song totally has me buzzing like literally. It's like I swallowed a bee and it's shaking inside my body going zee......🐝

Jhus doesn't seem to disappoint.... Keep making that sexy money!

Where is Kat Dahlia?

"Your say you are a gangster but that don't impress me none". Has been playing in my head all weekend. Where is Kat Dahlia?
I have some really good memories of this song. Firstly, me underestimating it's complexity then trying to sing it and struggling to breathe... XD
Lastly, meeting my sister from another mister again after almost 5 years of limited communication  (I stay in Nigeria and she stays in the US. So it figures). And finding that she loves this song just as much as I do if not more. Then us singing it together on the same evening I picked her from the airport. 
Awwh goodtimes!
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Perhaps! I really do watch too much T.V


I noticed a trend/a similarity/ a re- occurrence. I don't know what to call it...XD 😆 while watching Empire. This re-occurrence/trend/similarity (but for real what's the right term?)is a testament  to the stellar acting chops of TT- Taraji P Henson and Terrence Howard. Or should it be TH2(but the P though)?😅

I noticed that they have repeated the same line/phrase in different movies/sets. I think that means something like they have a particular acting style they stick to and it works! I don't know about you but I watch Empire mainly because of Taraji and Terence's acting. More of Taraji though and also Jussie's singing and the twist and turns of the plot.... I'll leave it at that I'm digressing too much more next time!

Back to the point; well, I was watching Empire season 2 episode 11 the hospital scene when Cookie said  'Tell Rhonda that.....' I felt I had heard it somewhere else I think 'I can do bad all by myself' where she played the character 'April'. I remember April saying sometime to that effect to someone or about someone. Like "Tell....that...". If I might add with a similar mannerism. I think I tried to look for the exact scene but that was like finding a needle in a haystack... Literally! (When I find or if I find it I'd put it up here)
I noticed the same thing with Terrence too. From these T.V shows Wayward Pines and Empire season 1 ep.1 and ep. 4 respectively. Clue: Terrence seems to like asking people their opinions about food... Take a look

Empire Is Back!


Why is Hakeem wearing shimmy...singlet...tank top while everyone is suited up? Between the look on his face and his shimmy/tank top he looks like mistakenly walked into the set. XD
