More Info:
E. Ness of P. Diddy’s hit group, Da Band and the widely successful MTV show, Making of the Band, has established an incredible buzz throughout the hip-hop industry similar to the buzz that proceeded the success of the leading Billboard multi-platinum Rappers: Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Ludacris.
Ness, who is frequently called the “Captain” and “a thinker” by Sean “P. Diddy” Combs himself, has played an influential role in the success of the group which debuted at number 2 on Billboard Top 200 albums in the country. As a current cast member of MTV’s number one rated television show, Ness has learned lessons in visual media and the importance of being a professional. The show has been a national introduction for Ness, furthering his quest to be a vital figure in the entertainment industry which includes the music, fashion, film and TV aspects of the industry. Ness has since appeared on various talk shows such as The View, CNN Live and MTV’s TRL to name a few.
Similar to his rap predecessors, Jay Z, 50 Cent, and Ludacris; Ness was also the product of an impoverished environment. While others may have allowed the struggle of the streets to deter them, Ness began writing songs about the streets to create opportunities for himself. His friends encouraged him to continue developing his musical talent referring to him as “Elliot Ness” or “E.Ness” due to his unique rap lyrics which have the potential to “clean up the rap game.” He will take the music industry in a new and better direction just as the Hollywood character, Elliot Ness, cleaned up the streets of Chicago from crime by arresting gangster Al Capone.
A distinct voice and intriguing rap word play are just two of the characteristics that distinguish this aspiring new Bad Boy Entertainment artist. Ness, whose real name is Lloyd E. Mathis is a 25 year old native of Philadelphia, PA. Ness began his music career in 1984 as a hip hop, R&B and “break dancer” who competed in local talent shows and artist showcases. Emulating his performances after one of the greatest R&B entertainers, Michael Jackson, Ness realized that he had a rare talent for captivating an audience. Along with dancing, Ness had a passion for rhyming. Inspired by rap artists/groups KRS-1, A Tribe Called Quest, Big Daddy Kane and Eric B. and Rakim, Ness began developing a lyrical style of his own.
By the age of 12, Ness had been recruited by Mickey Davis, who was then a locally known member of a rap group entitled DaBumrush. For two years, Ness assisted Davis with DaBumrush’s performances at local night clubs and several tours. While touring with the group, he got the opportunity to appear on the Amateur night at the Apollo Theatre in New York.
Ness’s mother, though very supportive of his hobby, tried to encourage Ness to focus more on his schoolwork, especially since he had been accepted into Central High School, the number one college preparatory high school in Philadelphia. Ness had other dreams for himself and instead decided to pursue his interest in music full time.
Of his many personal and professional goals, Ness has established an entertainment company. He would like to develop his company so that he can, produce and manage artists, own small businesses and most importantly, give back to his community.
Although Ness understands that this is just the beginning of his career in TV, his years of hard work prior to MTV have prepared him for the pitfalls of entertainment. Ness states, “I’ve wanted to be a recognized star all of my life, so hard has not, and will never become an issue. I thank everyone who has been supportive. And for those who doubt me, SUMBIT NOW OR SUBMIT LATER BUT YOU WILL SUBMIT!”

ことあるごとに アナタは言うけれど
Woo ah うんざりよ
Woo ah 最初から
背中に羽根なんて生えていないでしょう? 飛べないでしょう?
You never gimme what I want
You never gimme what I want
アナタわかっちゃいない
What I want is what I want is love from you
You may you may you may you may
要らないユメ それだけをくれているヒトよ
ねぇ、そうやって クチビルを尖らせて
口笛をヒュッと アナタが鳴らすたびに
Woo…ah 嫌になるの
Woo…ah 理由(わけ)もなく
この胸がイライラと傷ついてしまう 泣きそうになる
You never gimme what I want
アタシが欲しいモノは
You never gimme what I want
ありきたりのシアワセ
What I want is what I want is love from you
You may you may you may you may
淋しいユメ それだけが増えているみたい
You know what I want is? Do you know what I want?
You know what I want is? I really need you
You know what I want is? Do you know you what I want?
You know what I want is? Everybody needs love
You never gimme what I want
アタシが欲しいモノを
You never gimme what I want
アナタわかっちゃいない
What I want is what I want is love from you
You may you may you may you may
要らないユメ それだけをくれているヒトよ
You never gimme what I want
What I want is you
You never gimme what I want
What I want is love
The lyrics of E.ness's song, "What You Want," explore the frustration of a person not receiving the love they desire from their partner. The singer's partner often tells them to "spread their wings," but they feel as though they don't have wings to fly. This creates a sense of powerlessness and resentment towards their partner. The singer is left feeling misunderstood and unheard, as their partner doesn't seem to fully comprehend what they want.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "You never give me what I want," emphasizing the singer's feelings of neglect and frustration. They want love from their partner, but all they seem to receive is a hollow sense of happiness that doesn't fulfill them. Towards the end of the song, the singer pleads with their partner to understand what they want, stating that "everybody needs love."
Overall, "What You Want" is a heartfelt exploration of unrequited love and the difficulties of communicating one's desires in a relationship. The song's repetition and catchy melody make it a catchy and memorable track that speaks to the struggles of many in relationships.
