Chipmunk: La la la, if everybody had a momma like you -
Trae (grunting): then they’d be lucky!
This is a fine example of the “I love my momma” subgenre but I’ve never really gotten the point… I mean, do you ever feel like you want to listen to some momma songs? I just never find myself in a momma song mood. Everytime I listen to an album with a momma song I skip the momma song. (Except for Juelz’s momma song, it’s hilarious.) Like maybe Trae could’ve just freestyled this to his momma and not shared it with us. I’m sure his momma would’ve been really touched.
No, I just wanted to repeat the word 50 times. I think I accomplished that. Oh, I forgot, Master P’s momma song, I like that one too. The one where Mo B. Dick sings on the hook:
Momma, I don’t wanna see you cry no more tears
Cause I’m deep in the game
sellin much cocaine.
I think “momma songs” are (for the listener) less about “mommas” and more about a fan getting intimate with their favorite rapper. Essentially, the “momma” merely acts as a “snuggle proxy”
I’m listening to this song and it gets me thinking about rock “momma” songs, only two come to mind at the moment:
“Mother’s Little Helper” by The Rolling Stones – a track about Valium abuse.
and
“Mother” by Danzig, which is basically just Danzig bragging about how bad he is.
^no, it ain’t no emo rap. if dudes want to make tuff emo rap they need to start fast rapping over some Rites of Spring/Embrace loops (I bet someone could flip the opening riff of “Give Me Back” pretty nicely).
the publics – “Mama I’m Coming Home” by Ozzy Osbourne (actually about his wife) and Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried”, which may not be rock per se but which is definitely on some gangsta ish in the outlaw country style.
word on merle haggard. i think momma rap songs is more comparable to country than rock shit. coe’s you never even called me by my name is on some ultimate outlaw momma shit, with the bein in prison and gettin drunk and ranned over by a train and all. why hasn’t some southerner flipped that yet for some outlaw country rap tunes shit?

There’s a fine line between emo rap and R&B. (Not that this is R&B, just saying.)

Kanye is emo rap. Trae is just showing the soft spot in his heart for moms that y’all know you got.

‘I Still Live With Moms’ by Thurston Howell.Best momma joint ever.

Word to “I still live with my moms,” I used to love that joint!
On the “emo rap” tip, T.I.’s new single is fucking amazing, IMHO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLVycH6w8FM
