JumpinJack AJ Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Man, i just love this song. It's been on the radio for like a month and i can't get enuff of it. Usher is just one of the smoothest playas out there representing young guys like me. And Alicia Key is just one of the most talented people on the face of this planet. The music's steady bumpin' R-N-B drenched sound is amazing. The video is great 2. The colors and camera work is just perfect 4 the song. However, what has me hooked the most is the subject matter. Anybody relate 2 that song?? I definitly have a person in mind when i hear that song. That special girl that u have alot of special moments with, but the timing just isn't right. And even tho' time has passed since things feel apart, u still think of that person every single day. Since the song kinda touches on the idea of them also being in the entertainment bizness, it's kinda cool cuz myself and this other person are local actors...of course we aren't famous tho.' But people do recognize us from our work on stage and in commercials. It's funny cuz since me and this girl had a falling out, we've kept busy but neither of us have worked 2gether since that time and we are always brought up when it comes 2 chemistry (on stage and 2gether). Usher and Alicia's chemistry remind me of our own. Anybody really feelin' this song and/or relating 2 it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-o-e Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I Agree 100% AJ, i think it is a dope song, the music is great, the video is great, it gives R n B a good shove to get more songs out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prince Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) I don't like the song!! The chorus is half decent but I've heard better. PS, the video isn't all that either. Besides, just what is a "boo"? It sounds like a stupid word, for whatever it means. AJ said "U gotta boo?", so that means "you've got to boo?". But then 3cookies says "i don't have a boo at tha tyme either", which just totally confuses me. Sounds a typically American word...

Jazzy Julie Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 a boo is a boyfriend or girlfriend. But one of my friends calls her baby boo, so i guess it is a loved 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prince Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Last I knew, saying "boo" was to scare someone. What a stupid word for a loved one. :kekeke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prince Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 :eek4: Lock away your children... But seriously though, am I the only one that thinks it's a stupid word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well, it's slang...and slang isn't really bad or good...it just "is." I personally don't use the word but the term is nearly 10 years old. It's nothing new. The 1st time it waz used in a real commercial way waz the Ghostown DJ's huge 1996 bass/r-n-b hit "My Boo" off the So So Def Bass All-Stars album (dope album by the way). America is Hip-Hop's home so u can't expect anything less than having American slang and concepts all over most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
