Don’t be confused by the Rocks that I got
It’s Jenny from the Jenny from the block
Its Ironic that I’m on a yacht
But I say I know where I came from
What puzzles me most about this song is… The French love it.
I was in Brittany for a week for business and that horrible, horrible song was on every radio station 10 times a day.
I guess it’s a Jerry Lewis thing. (J. Lew?)
Because it’s not the doctors and lawyers buying her album. It’s the street kids from The Bronx and the kids in the suburbs that want to be from The Bronx that buy the album. Once Lopez loses her “connection” she isn’t selling albums.
Didn’t the people in her old neighborhood say she acts like she’s better than them whenever she’s there, anyways?
Its a great booty dance song, though. Except for the Boniqua that makes no sense.
From this article in Time magazine:
Yes, but apparently she acted like that when she was growing up there too, and was incredibly ambitious and determined to get the hell out of the Bronx. So, in a way, she really hasn’t changed.
And thank you, gonzoron, for the “J.Lew” image. I already have a hard time watching her with a straight face, and you’ve just made it nigh impossible.
She’s saying boricua, Puertorrican. Borikén or Borinquen was the arawak (Taíno) word for Puerto Rico. Those that come from the island, Puertorricans, are also called boricuas, borincanos/anas, or borinqueños/ñas.
Basically saying she doesn’t forget her origins.
I’ve read that alot of the people in the Bronx hate her now. She only goes up there for a photo op and doesn’t even mix with the masses. Alot of her once fans are also pissed for her making clothes that they can’t afford but are allegedly intended for them.
Yeah, and that video was shot in Los Angeles… Da Bronx, yo!!!
