When You’re Mad?
Girl, seeing you all mad just makes me want to jump your bones. Nevermind that I spent all of your savings. Yousofine!
I love the entertainment industry.
Where else can you live out your wildest dreams and be the person you always wished you could be despite obvious physical and aesthetic limitations or the constant failures of reality.

Such is the case with Ne-Yo (who also provided the most baffling character ever in Red Tails, a truly sh*tty movie. Seriously, who signed off on that role? Damn you George Lucas).
It’s no secret that I watch videos incessantly. Hell, I can spend a whole day just watching Youtube Video Jams and vh1 Soul. This past weekend, I resawed Ne-Yo’s video for the song “When You’re Mad”, some sixteen years after its debut. It’s not a bad song, though I do think that the song’s message will be wildly misconstrued and result in some poor sap getting his ass straight mollywopped by his girl for smirking when she’s truly pissed off.
Of course, that would require anybody to actually care about Ne-Yo and I suppose that’s another beast altogether. Real talk, go see Red Tails and understand why Ne-yo should never matter.
I’ll get to the premise later. Let’s start with Ne-Yo.
I remember a long (!!!) time ago when Mr. Cheeks video for “Lights, Camera, Action” came out. In the beginning of that video, when Mr. Cheeks enters the club, the “cheeks” lights go off and all the strippers know that he’s in the building. You see, in his video, Mr. Cheeks is akin to the president. When Cheeks shows up, the cheeks show up. Get it?
Me and my boys used to get a kick out of the video because the video hoes really sold the idea that Mr. Cheeks was indeed that important. Unrealistic? Of course, but in Mr. Cheeks video, he gets to be God. You have to love the opportunities that come to people who probably aren’t nearly as cool as they come off in videos.
Ne-Yo, bless his heart, is not an attractive man. Yet, in his videos, he gets to be the hearthrob; he is the man that women covet and for who’s back his woman has to watch. Usher he is not, but in his videos, he can be Denzel and his flock a gaggle of 30-50 year old black women.
I don’t care what anybody says, America is a great place.
This song, “When You’re Mad” is about how Ne-Yo can’t help but be carnally turned on whenever his girlfriend gets upset with him. He just wants to tear her up when she gets that little wrinkle-nosed face going on because he has ticked her off. Throughout the video is a montage of women with various pissed off faces and demeanors that I suppose (it is a video remember) make Ne-Yo feel rather randy. I’ll admit, it’s a rather “cute” video. It made me chuckle a time or two at the various reason his woman chose to be pissed at him.
However, I think the video seriously understates how “mad” a woman just may be and an appropalate course of action. And if you’ve seen the movie Trippin’ you will know that appropalate is indeed a real word.
Y’alls is some real dubiostic types.
(By the way, yes, again, I realize that its just a video. Thanks, MGMT)
What it seems to me is that his girl isn’t actually mad, she’s more just ticked off. Temporarily to boot. There is no mad going on here. His girl sees him taking pictures with “fans” and gets upset. Basically, his girl is jealous that he gives other women attention. Sucks for her…I mean doesn’t she realize she’s dating Ne-Yo. International superstar Ne-Yo?????
*crickets*
Like I said. It’s his video.
Thing is, there is no real just cause to be pissed so usually, a smile, a chuckle, and a “baby, why you trippin, you know I only love you” would suffice in most of these instances. Followed by a, “hey, you want me to keep getting you nice things? You do. Then I suggest you shut the fuck up.”
Then again. She isn’t mad.
Has anybody here ever dated somebody and either you or they got royally pissed??
*hands shoot up across the globe*
Was your first thought ever to really smile and then try to jump their bones? No? Me neither. When I get truly pissed, which has only happened a few times…I see red. It ain’t no lovely lush blues and yellows that inspire my loins.
Wow. I’ve said some pretty suspect shit in my day, but I think, “lush blues and yellows that inspire my loins” might just top the list.
Cry for me Argentina.
Now, I realize I’m being a stickler for details and accuracy here and I know its just a fun song intended to explain to women how them being upset with men makes men all turned on and shit. I’m just afraid some poor little kid is going to see this video and think that when his girl gets mad at him, it is totally okay to turn to an imaginary camera, chuckle twice, then look at her and go try to lay the ass-smackdown on her. He just might catch an eye-jammy.
This just brings up another point. There is a big difference between a woman being upset/slightly ticked off and her being mad or truly pissed. The former is usually a very temporary thing and can be resolved with a well timed, “baby, why you trippin’. Girl you know I-I-I-I love you. I will give you the sun the moon the stars the sky and the mountains…I’ll give you the worrrrrrrrrrrld. Baby, smile for me so I can see Heaven in your eyes.” You know, something along those lines. Basically, small little petty shit that most humans are bound to irrationally fall victim too from time to time. It happens to everybody.
The latter however, which would be the “mad or truly pissed” part, well thats a little different. If you have truly pissed off your woman, it’s gonna take more than a “girl i love you” to appease her. You must have done something like showed up with a box of condoms and one was missing. Despite the fact that you are truly just a juvenile male and used one to hang from your next door neighbors doorknob, you will be in trouble. Or maybe you didn’t show up when you said you were going to show up and your girl was stuck in the middle of Ohio all alone or some shit. Those things will not be resolved shortly.
You know, I don’t feel like discussing this anymore.
Bottom line, I’m concerned for the kids who will watch these videos and be influenced negatively since videos and music dictate our lives and I’m concerned about marriage in America.
So ladies, question, can a little sexual attention take you out of your upset or angry stupor? We’re trying to save relationships here. Help brothas out. Or was Ne-yo trying to get men killed with that message he was sending to both men and women?
Brothas have you ever just laughed at your girl being mad and tried to jump her bones successfully? And ladies, would you be upset with your man if he tried to get all carnal on that arse after a spat, or does it just depend on how pissed you are?
