Every woman wants a sensitive man and lately it’s not hard to find one of the ‘it’ guys in hip-hop spending time in the booth playing the vulnerable card. For some, this sensitivity bit might appear to be a recent trend in keeping it real. But if the new comers ever run out of tissue, they should do their homework and tap into the old school.
Here’s the formula: Listen: Old School, Learn: New School
1. Listen: LL Cool J “I Need Love”

Learn: Kid Cudi, “Day N Night”

If the lonely stoner would have opened up a lil like LL and admitted he needed love, maybe he could put down the Mary Jane and leave the house for something other than a swisher. If he’s lucky maybe he will find love with a lady with similar ”interests.”
2. Listen: Tupac, “Do for Love”

Learn: Bow Wow, “Outta My System”

If Bow Wow would have just signed up to be a “sucker for love” like Pac, he wouldn’t have got caught up and lost CiCi. Admitting you’re a sucker from the beginning would have saved him alot of time and heartache. He should have just embraced his sensitive side.
3. Listen: The Roots, “You Got Me”

Learn: Kanye ” Paranoid”
,
If Yeezy had the Roots in heavy rotation, he would know that when someone has your back, paranoia is the last thing on your mind. Him and Amber Rose should sit down and bump the track together. Being down for one another is half the battle.
4. Listen: Whodini, “One Love”

Learn: Drake “Successful”

Drake should wax on Whodini’s life lesson about love and all the luck you need just to find it even once. This way he can avoid all the groupies that want to get in his rented Phantom. Less groupies= smaller bills=more successfuuuulll.
5. Listen: Slick Rick, “Teenage Love “

Learn: Diddy, “Angels” (Dirty Money)

When Puff feels sad about his bad relationship choices, instead of calling on the Angels he should listen to Slick and keep in mind that love is tough for everyone. Even though he is no longer a teenager, “Daddy” could use a lil love cuz his new Emo style is a red flag that he might want to step it up and buy Cassie some flowers.
*****Note to the new school******
Dear MC,
Life is hard. The economy sucks. Sales are down. Girls don’t respect you cuz your chain ain’t heavy. We understand. Everyone needs to let it out. It’s OK to feel hurt, and it’s nice to know that the game is opening up to MCs who are in touch with their feelings. But please, please, let’s not make it habit. Club bangers are still a must.
No need to make all the songs cry…
