Video: Ne-Yo - Lazy Love (semi NSFW)

Ne-Yo is an undeniably good (if not great) writer but I haven't really listened to much of his material recently. But this song is dope and the video has a lil something for the ladies with Mr. "I Always Have a Hat On!" going shirtless. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, it has something for the fellas with this woman that I - after a quick initial glance - thought was Zoe Saldana and then realized she isn't but that she's just as fine, lol.

Miss Independent: Me and Ne-Yo are on the same page

Ne-Yo - Miss Independent
I just listened to the song above by Ne-Yo. After listening, it's obvious that Ne-Yo has taped some of the conversations me and Woo have had and/or done some hacking into my email account. Dude pretty much ran through the litany of things that make an independent woman so attractive to me.

"Cuz she walk like a boss, talk like a boss. Move like a boss, do what a boss do...something about a woman that can do for herself. I look at her and it makes me proud."

I just randomly picked a part to quote as I am rushing out of the office, but the key here is that she really is a "boss". Not faking it. It's a sheitload of women out here that walk like they're worth a million bucks and as a result, too good to talk to "yo azz". But lots of times it's only a cover-up for other issues of self-worth that they have. And then there are women that are doing well for themselves but still maintain the humility and social skills to be easy to talk to, down-to-earth, and have something worthwhile to talk about aside from a bunch of trivial bowlshyt.

And d@mn if Ne-Yo didn't hit the nail on the head with a sledgehammer on this one. I was just having an e-versation with a friend about this topic yesterday so it kind of hit home for me. But Ne-Yo neatly describes the type of woman that turns me on and impresses me. Of course he doesn't cover everything though. And yes it is something about a woman that has her stuff together and doesn't need you but chooses to spend time with you because she genuinely enjoys you and sees as much in you as you do in her.

To each his own - I know some of you fools like a trophy wife or a chick you can manipulate/control all the time - but give me Miss Independent.

Not too independent though. Some women take that shyt to a whole new level that's a bit extra.
