My Flow So Tight - a request that should be fulfilled

Speaking of music videos, have you seen the song by Jump Smokers? You may have some trouble with the name as the song (My Flow So Tight) was originally done with a group by the name of Smoke Jumpers. It's the same group, just that another group had the original name first.

Actually there is a big hubub about the name. The group in Texas with the original name finds the song - that is gaining attention internationally - and/or the mixup in names has caused

"their name has been hurt "in the minds of music listeners everywhere."


Right. Because absolutely everyone has heard of the Texas band. They need to get off the high horse and appreciate the fact that now someone knows who the hell they are.

But beyond all the minor squabbles of names is the song itself. I find it to be a perfect prose on the emotions that acts of brutality against women, and specifically this act against Rihanna, conjure. In fact I would enjoy someone acting on this songs request.



For those wondering about the wording, here are the lyrics:

    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked,
    (kicked) x6
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked,

    Ass kicked 5x

    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked,

    Boy hits girl,
    Boy should be taken down,
    No matter whos around,
    The more I searched yo the more I found,
    That there's a curse to this last name brown,
    Dude can dance and yo dude gets loose,
    Dude should come clean and tell the truth,
    All the money in the world but there's no excuse,
    Career suicide yo heres the noose,

    Boy hits girl,
    Boy should be taken down,
    No matter whos around,
    The more I searched yo the more I found,
    That there's a curse to this last name brown,
    Dude can dance and yo dude gets loose,
    Dude should come clean and tell the truth,
    All the money in the world but there's no excuse,
    Career suicide yo heres the noose,

    (muffled)My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,(muffled)
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked,

    Ass kicked x5

    Boy hits girl,
    Boy should be taken down,
    No matter whos around,
    The more I searched yo the more I found,
    That there's a curse to this last name brown,
    Dude can dance and yo dude gets loose,
    Dude should come clean and tell the truth,
    All the money in the world but there's no excuse,
    Career suicide yo heres the noose,

    Boy hits girl,
    Boy should be taken down,
    No matter whos around,
    The more I searched yo the more I found,
    That there's a curse to this last name brown,
    Dude can dance and yo dude gets loose,
    Dude should come clean and tell the truth,
    All the money in the world but there's no excuse,
    Career suicide yo heres the noose,

    (muffled)My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,(muffled)
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    My flow so tight and the beats so sick,
    Chris Brown should get his ass kicked.

This may not be the best song in the world, but the lyrics and mentality behind it deserves to get airplay. Unless we want to promote domestic violence as much as R Kelly has done for pedophiles with the fiasco that was his trial.
