Goin' seven whole days

Man enough for me
Always talking in his sleep but
Never talkin' 'bout me

And it's you
You're making me high
And I don't wanna come down
And it's you
How many ways do I love you
Baby I lost count
And it's you
Since you came I ain't sang
Another sad love song
I'm finally brea-thing again

Toni Braxton featuring Mo'Nique - "Caught (Don't Take Your Hat Off)"

See this ain't one of those "I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute"

I'm too damn grown for that
Cause see I really wanted you
All you had to do was take care of home
Now I'ma need you to hurry up

Lambada is a Brazilian dance. I don't think the Spice Girls were talking about Kaoma's hit on that song.

Flamenco, lambada, but hip-hop is harder
We moonwalk the foxtrot, then polka the salsa


Flamenco, lambada, foxtrot, polka, salsa are all dance.
I think they were talking about lambada as a dance.
to the infinity and Beyoncé.

Mariah Carey's Inseparable references two songs:

The first one is Billie Holiday's Lady Sings The Blues.

And everything is off
Without you
Guess it's all my fault
Lady sings the blues
And the second one is Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time

Got photos of us on my refrigerator
Videos on my phone; I just can't erase them
The first text I ever got from is still saved in my
Inbox and I read it like time after time
Immediately after that last line, she even interpolates Time After Time and has it fit nicely within the song's tone of desperation and denial.

Original lyric
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me.
Mariah's lyric
Boy, I'm lost, can't you look? Won't you please find me?!
Genius!!!

Mariah Carey actually does this a lot.

Personally, whenever anyone does this, I want to give them a round of applause.

Clever songwriting >>>>>>>>>>>
I can feel this light that's inside of me, growing fast into a bolt of lightning. I know one spark will shock the world...

Here's another one.

2pac's "Skandalouz" makes a reference to Toni Braxton's "Breathe Again." And if you're familiar with Breathe Again...

And if you can take what he's saying literally but not seriously, 2pac's reference is really funny.

The mission's to be a playa, my alias is Boss
Drop a top on these jealous n------, playa let me floss
Y'all don't wanna see me in pain,
I'll leave that ass like Toni Braxton
Never breathing again.

Foxy Brown - Get Me Home

Ta-Ta's perkin, You're Makin Me High
like Toni, work me, take me I'm hot
She even references Toni Braxton, so she is purposely referring to the song. It's not just a coincidence like many of you are posting.
Janet Jackson the only artist in history to be nominated for a Grammy in Pop, Rock, Dance, R&B, Rap, Album of the Year & Best Video.
