i don't know about automobill or hateration, but bootylicious is a valid word that's been used for years. the thing is, in my experience, booty=bad, a variation of "butt" eg-"butt ugly" licious-containing the prefixes flavor. therefore, bootylicious has not been positive.
I seem to recall Snoop Dogg using the term "bootylicious", as in "those rhymes you was kickin' were quite bootylicious". This does imply a negative connotation.
that's the instance i was talking about. since it was so popular, i thought it would've spread like that. i think there are other times when booty is used in a negative context (i'm sure of it almost) but i'm too tired to think of them. i can remember it being used as "booty-wack" in some instances.
I sorta like that song by that British R & B dude, Craig David... I think it's called "Fill Me In." Do you know what I'm talking about? It's got a great beat; I actually really like that two-step groove that seems to be infecting a lot of new hip-hop and r & b music...
Can't say I'm familiar with the song...I know who that that Craig David fella is though...usually I can't handle male R&B singers for too long. The songs just get on my nerves, unless it's got a certain je ne sais quoi that makes it stand out.
Yeah, in my opinion, his song has that je ne sais quoi. It's definitely not typical. I don't usually like male r & b, either (like Maxwell and all that junk), but this song is good. You should download it sometime and see if you like it.
I don't knwo who Jill Scott is, but I do like Erykah Badu a lot. She's a very talented lady. I like old blues and jazz a lot too, like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. And I am in complete accord with your opinions of R. Kelly and Isaac Hayes! :-)

And the word 'booytlicious' brings out anger in me that I didn't know was there.
Come to think of it, maybe I just hate Destiny's Child and all their stupid non-words.
Yes... yes, I think that's it.

Re: I don't think yr ready for this jelly
Date: 2001-09-25 09:16 am (UTC)Not that R&B groups' names are any worse than rock band names (i.e. KoRn, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, etc.)
Speaking of that, what's with the rampant substitution of the letter C with the letter K in the names of rap-metal bands?

I do like stuff like Jill Scott and Erykah Badu...I think the music (otside of the singing)is just generally better...better songwriting.
