Girl Talk – Hold Up

On a scale of 1-to-stoked, Girl TalkGirl Talk reviews definitely gets me stoked.  I actually wasn’t completely sold on the experimental/mashup artist until the first time I heard today’s song.  Hold Up can be found on Girl Talk’s third full-length album Night RipperNight Ripper reviews, released in May of 2006.  Among the many songs sampled on this track, some of the stand-outs are Your Smiling Face from James TaylorJames Taylor (Live) reviews, Where Is My Mind?Where Is My Mind? reviews from the Pixies and Say It Ain’t SoSay It Ain’t So reviews from Weezer.  For a full list of all the sampled songs, click here.

No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I’m doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way

Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go

You can hate me now but I won’t stop now
Cause I can’t stop now you can hate me now
But I won’t stop now cause I can’t stop now
You can hate me now you can hate me now

Don’t hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy
Ice that I wear, clothes that I try, close your eyes
Picture me rollin, sixes, money foldin
Bitches honies that swollen to riches, Nas get in ya
Most critically acclaimed Pulitzer, prize winner
Best storyteller thug narrator my style’s greater
Model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters
Commentators ringside try watchin my paper
Almost a decade, quite impressive
Most of the best is in the essence
for this rap shit that I stand for
Expandin more to the big screen, Bill Gates dreams
But it seems you’d rather see me in jail with state greens
Want me off the scene fast, but good things last
like your favorite MC still makin some mean cash
First rapper to bring a platinum plaque, back to the projects
but you still wanna hate, be my guest, I suggest

Gurl shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Gurl shake dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy
Dat laffy taffy (candy gurl)
Dat laffy taffy
(X2)

hold up, wait a minute
hold up, wait a minute
(bunch of times)
