you can find me in da club - remixed

So after consideration, I realized, I wasn't finished with the club analysis. Two separate conversations with my two brothers has brought something interesting to my attention - in that nearly all recent hip hop/R&B/rap songs include some kind of scenario within the walls of this ever so popular "club".

With all these shawtys' fire-burnin on the dancefloors and young bling-laden gents makin love in the clubs, it makes me wonder, what else do these people do, besides be buyin the drinks we be sippin? Do they have day jobs? Perhaps playa by night, IT consultant or telemarketer by day? I mean, how are they affording these Cadillacs with rims spinnin', the Reeboks with the straps, the "crunk juice bombs" (what are these?), and the Oakley shades?

And where are the songs for those of us who are a little more in touch with reality? Like the ones that say "I met this respectably dressed young lady at a community event. We exchanged numbers and are moving at a reasonable pace, as to not put undue pressure on either of us, as I don't wish to be too forward." And maybe instead of "damn you's a sexy bitch", we might try "my, I find your appearance to be very aesthetically pleasing".....ok so maybe that's pushing it, but you understand the direction I'm going in.

Regardless of what kinds of questions we commonfolk have about the secret lives of these playas with their sick beats and "crunk juice bombs" (seriously, what are these?), it makes for good entertainment and it's the foundation that MTV is built on.
