LYRICS

Are you a man?
Cuz I’m a bitch
I’m already rich
Just looking for that mmmmm
This party sucks
I’m 'bout to ditch
Don’t even try to gi-give me shit, I’ve earned the right to b-be like this
Oh, you say you love me? that’s funny,
Well, so do I

I’m just looking for a joyride, joyride
I’m just looking for a good time tonight
Baby I want you to rev my engine 'til you make it purrrr
Keep it kinky, but I come first
Beep beep bitch, I’m outside. Get in loser for the joyride.
Making every motherfucker turn
fell from heaven no, it didn’t hurt
Beep beep best night your life
Get in loser for the joyride
Joyride
Get in loser for the joyride

Keep your eyes

A label whore but I’m bored of wearing clothes
You want kids?
well I am mother.
Don’t even try to gi-give me shit, I’ve earned the right to b-be like this

Joyride, joyride
I’m just looking for a good time tonight
Baby I want you to rev my engine till you make it purrrr
Keep it kinky, but I come first
Beep beep bitch, I’m outside. Get in loser for the joyride.

Vultures EXCLUSIVE Ye Ty Dolla $ign | Video | 2024 BIG Interview Hotney 10 Streams • 2 years ago

Ye Ty $ Exclusive Interview

It’s 2024 and both Ye and Ty Dolla $ign sit down for a full length BIG Interview with Big Boy and Big Boys Neighborhood. It’s the year of #BigBoy30 and this Vultures Interview is an EXCLUSIVE part of our Big Boy 30 Premiere show airing March 15, 2024.
Kanye personally designed and oversaw the construction of the staging for this special private filming in Burbank, California.

Big Boy and Ye clear the air on previously reported conflicts between them. You learn through the interview just how long Big Boy and Kanye have been in each others lives personally and professionally. Kanye and Ty dive deep into the meaning and purpose of Vultures in this interview. Why did they decide to work together and how did it play out when others told them NOT to work together?

Big, Ye and Ty speak on why this album was needed and what void it fills in our hip hop and music universe. What was the process of working together like? Where was this album made and mastered and adjusted?

Ye speaks on the power of prayer but also the power of individual responsibility. They also speak on how the current streaming platforms are underpaying artists, manipulating music availability and over charging fans.

Kanye West speaks on the challenges of being a visionary and takes us behind the scenes of brand deals. He also speaks on raising and guiding the career of his daughter North West.

Ye explains why he continues to think Instagram has your B@$* and social media is like world war 3. He also explains in detail his conflict with Adidas.

Ty Dolla $ign speaks on Vultures 2, Vultures 3 and what is their future plan working with Rich The Kid?

Toes right and her p*ssy is tight
Like, she ride my d*ck like a bike
Like, I beat the p*ssy like fight night
Scary movie, she wanna record it, we watch it again like the hot ice
Baby, you know you my type, type

Feel like Freddy, together for five nights
She in love through the dash like a hyphen
Can't spend no time with these b*tches, I'm timeless
Said she sick of mе, she caught the itis
I feel like Trav', in this room, I'm thе highest
We could lay up and look at the starlights
If she not f*ckin', she gotta get depart, like (It's Carter, d*ckhead)
Girl, we been huggin' and cuddlin' all night
Is we f*ckin' or what?
Pretty, but she hard to solve like a riddle
Yeah, once I touch it, it jiggle
If we get drunk enough, we could kiss
Is we f*ckin'? I'm not tryna see what them hips do
Yeah, brown skin joint with a dimple
Light skin, she like, "I buy it, it's simple"
12 a.m., after dark, I'm a sl*t
Don't got time for no games, is we f*ckin' or what?

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Let me nut on your butt
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Is we f*ckin' or not?
I got a whole 'nother ho in the spot (Phew)
I'm tryna tie that b*tch up like a knot (Knot)
She thick like O's in a pot
She wanna f*ck at the Ritz
She know that I'm rich
But really ain't throwin' no fits
But she throw it back on that d*ck
Throw up on it like you sick
Don't tell nobody
Think I'm in love with a ratchet
Two seats when we ride in traffic
Twin G-locks, we matchin'
She don't know her dad, but she call me, "Daddy"
She want a thug, she need some love, she wanna get off them drugs
When you take this pink pill, bae, is we f*ckin' or what? (Ooh)
If I was a bad b*tch (Ooh)
If I was a ratchet (Let me nut on your butt, ooh)
If I was a bad b*tch

How Each of the Mamas & the Papas Died Hotney 10 Streams • 2 years ago

The Mamas and the Papas stand tall as one of the most emblematic and influential groups of the 1960s. With their signature harmonies and introspective lyrics, they seamlessly bridged the gap between folk and pop, crafting a sound that captured the zeitgeist of a transformative decade. The ensemble comprised John Phillips, the principal songwriter and strategist; his wife, Michelle Phillips, whose ethereal voice added a unique dimension; Denny Doherty, with his powerful lead vocals; and Cass Elliot, whose resonant contralto became one of the group's defining features.

Their rise to stardom was meteoric, marked by chart-toppers like "California Dreamin'", which evoked a wistful longing for sunnier climes, and "Monday, Monday", a poignant reflection on the transient nature of love. These songs, among others, ensured their place in the annals of pop history, granting them a global fan base and the prestigious Grammy Hall of Fame Award.

However, the group's journey wasn't without its turbulence. Behind their harmonious sound lay interpersonal conflicts and struggles. The Mamas and the Papas disbanded in 1968, a mere three years after their formation, but their legacy was far from ephemeral. Their music became emblematic of a generation questioning societal norms and seeking deeper meaning.

Tragically, time has taken its toll on the group's original lineup. Cass Elliot, with her larger-than-life presence both on and off the stage, passed away in 1974. Denny Doherty followed in 2007, and John Phillips in 2001. Today, Michelle Phillips remains the sole surviving member, a poignant custodian of their collective memory. The Mamas and the Papas left an indelible mark on the music industry.

Their legacy is a testament to the enduring power of music to encapsulate moments, movements, and emotions, transcending time to inspire generations anew. Join Facts Verse, as we present: How Each of The Mamas & The Papas Died

Be My Baby - The Ronettes 1963 "Color" {Stereo} Hotney 10 Streams • 2 years ago

Rest In Peace, Ronnie Spector. We will miss you forever.

Without sales of the CD on which this first-time DES song appears there can be no more new stereo like this based on mono originals.

1963.....#2 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #4 UK Singles Chart, #2 Canada, #2 New Zealand
"Be My Baby" is a song written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector. It was recorded on July 5, 1963 at Gold Star Studios Hollywood by American girl group the Ronettes and released as a single in August 1963 and later placed on their 1964 debut LP Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica. Ronnie Spector is the only Ronette to appear on the single; her future husband Phil produced their elaborately layered recording in what is now considered a quintessential example of his Wall of Sound production formula.
"Be My Baby" was recorded in July 1963 at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles. Spector recorded a range of instruments including guitars, saxophones, multiple pianos, and horns with innovative studio mixing and over-dubbing. Spector described his production method as "a Wagnerian approach to rock & roll", which became known as the wall of sound. "Be My Baby" was one of the first times Phil Spector used a full orchestra in his recording. The drums were played by Hal Blaine, who introduced a drum beat that later became widely imitated. Guitars on the session were played by Tommy Tedesco and Bill Pitman, after whom the instrumental "Tedesco and Pitman" on the B-side of the single was named.
The song was arranged by Spector regular Jack Nitzsche and engineered by Larry Levine. Ronnie Spector is the only Ronette to appear on the record. "Be My Baby" was the Ronettes' first song produced by Phil Spector, released on his label, Philles Records. The group had already recorded a track by Greenwich and Barry called "Why Don't They Let Us Fall in Love", but this was held back in favor of "Be My Baby". The song reached number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Singles Chart (kept from the top spot by The Fireballs' "Sugar Shack") and number 4 on the UK's Record Retailer. It also peaked at number four on the R&B chart. The single sold more than two million copies in 1963. In her autobiography, lead vocalist Ronnie Spector relates that she was on tour with Joey Dee and the Starlighters when "Be My Baby" was introduced by Dick Clark on American Bandstand as the "Record of the Century."
