So much to talk about in "Hunt 4 You," the new Teairra Mari jam! First of all, how about when Pleasure P drops this bomb in his cameo verse?!
"I'm a green fiend I be out here chasin' spinach/ She said I don't want your cars/ I'd rather have your heart."
Chasin' spinach?! Amazing! Is that some everyday slang I been missing out on? Probably. I write these blog entries from the computer at my real job as a greeter at the nursing home, so I don't get much of a chance to talk to the young people. Gotta chase that wilted kale, nahmean?
Next up, a few weeks ago we talked about how everything nowadays is a remake, sequel or prequel. "Hunt 4 You" is no exception. The song/video is clearly a loving adaptation of Margaret Wise Brown's illustrated nursery classic The Runaway Bunny. Look:
Teairra Mari: I'm not gon stop fighting/ I'm gon' keep searching/ I'll go to the end of the world if I have to/ I'm gon' keep trying as long as I'm hurting/ Tell me what I gotta do/ cuz boy I'm on the hunt for you
Margaret Wise Brown: “If you run after me,” said the little bunny, “I will become a fish in a trout stream and I will swim away from you.” /“If you become a fish in a trout stream,” said his mother, “I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you.”
And dudes. What is it that bunnies do all day? That's right. Chase spinach. Boom! Hidden meaning revealed. Watch the video and be blown away by the epic time-lapse photography and dangerous make-up. Oh and p.s., SERIOUS jam here, boi. Now, back to the elderly.
