Best song ever by Pitbull! Good song to not only dance to but feel almost relax at the same time. I love the combination of hip-hop and reggae. Surprised this song isn't more popular, I've only heard it a few times on the radio. |

| Eminem – Stan Lyrics
| 15 years ago

Now that Eminem is highly prased as a rapper today, I can actually look back and see the deeper meaning of this song. It is very morbid and no doubt one of Eminem's most controversial songs. However if you analyze the overall meaning it's really brillant. First I agree the Stan part means ST as in stalker and AN as in fan, symbolism of Stan.
When you think about it, a lot of Eminem's songs are about his personal problems as well as society's problems. I think he used himself to represent a society problem, the media and music influencing people. Stan becomes so obsessed with Slim, and lives his life for Slim. I think he's trying to show the person's side rather than the music/media. It almost reminds me of the Columbine Tragedy, many people thought Marilyn Manson's music had an influence on the boys behavior and indirectly caused them to shoot innocent people. I think Eminem is trying to show that music may influence it, it is always initially the person who has the problem and not the music. You can clearly see Stan has mental issues which leads to his suicide and killing of his pregnant girlfriend (when he kills his girlfriend it actually really seems to symbolize Columbine because innocent people were killed because of madness). In the end, you hear Slim saying "You cut your wrists too, I was clowin man, I think you need some help, why you so mad, I don't want you to do some crazy shit." This part is the strongest in saying how you can't literally take all controversial music or use it to blame people's problems. |

| Kanye West – Love Lockdown Lyrics

Kanye may be in the dog house these but this song is gold. The beat and lyrics are unlike any other and he puts true meaning when he is singing the song. I think it's about a guy/girl who has had a close lover in the past and his/her lover hurt them, maybe even several times. The person moved on but the ex-lover came back into their life and wants her back. He/she still loves the person but knows they have moved on and knows they can't be with them after the complicated past. "I'm not loving you the way I wanted to, I can't escape from you, I can't keep myself and keep you too. Where I am I don't need you. I've been down this road before" saying the person is always coming back but it can never be the same. "You lose" meaning the ex-lover isn't getting he/she this time. "Only God knows if I will be with you" meaning if they'll maybe be together again sometime in the past. I say this because to me this song describes a situation I had with an ex like this. What I like the most is the song is not cold, lovey-dovey, or sad sounding, just neutral and realistic about the situation. |
