1) Intuition is the duo of vocalist Garrett Miles and programmer Ken Porter. Hailing from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, they have taken the music world by storm with their infectious and unforgettable sound. Fusing together elements of techno-pop, R&B and traditional rock with an electronic backbone, Garrett's smooth and soulful voice gives the synthetic wizardry a warm richness and unique trademark rarely found in today's commercial music world.
Following the demise of the popular synth act, Intact, in the summer of 2001, Germany raised Ken Porter set out to form a new band with a new vocalist. Ken wanted someone whom shared his vision, focus, and desire to produce music which would cross genre boundaries and appeal to a mainstream audience. After a chance meeting with Garrett, who had been gigging with local Phoenix headliners, World Conspiracy, in mid 2001, the two quickly hit it off and decided to follow their dream together. The chemistry between the two was evident from the start. Garrett brought over several demo versions of songs he was working on and allowed Ken to inject his magic in to them. The rest, as the old cliché says, is history.
2) Raised in North Pole, Alaska, Lee Shaner a.k.a. Intuition, moved to Southern California during his college years to pursue his passion for emceeing. A true 80's baby, Intuition was raised on rap music during it's golden era and has a style that, while firmly rooted in tradition, still manages to be forward thinking and modern. With early influences ranging from bugged out hippy rap like "3 Feet High and Rising," to G-funk classics like "Doggystyle," to the gritty lo-fi hardcore ramblings of "Enter the 36 Chambers," it's safe to say the kid has a solid foundation.
About "Girls Like Me," Intuition states "People that listen to my music will know more about me than they would ever know about me by my talking to them...there's not a single lie on this album, and if someone doesn't like this record, they would probably hate me as a person." This sort of brazen honesty is something of a rarity these days in any musical genre, let alone hip hop, and that honesty alone makes him a musician worth perking your ears for.

I Love California
Intuition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mad inspired - I could write a thousand haiku lines
On that 5-7-5 I reside in heaven I
Love the state I live in
Though this love inside will never die
Severed ties with my home state
Folks ask if I'mma go back
I'm like "psssh no way"
I'm like "don't hate, I'm land rich bitch fuck what that bank notes say"
You know we stay living it up
I'm out in Hollywood trynna find Olivia Munn
To ask if we could play some GTA
Take a romantic stroll up the PCH
Because, I love hearing them waves crash
I love how insecure celebrities compensate with Maybachs
I love rockin' LA hats
I love how orange county's so right wing - oh wait I hate that
From my sweet latinas out in eagle rock to my oh sider riders acting like they've never seen a cock.COP
Intuition don't need a lot just a little sunshine and a whole lot of scenic spots
Me and my peoples stay up in Californ-i-a
We headed northbound up the 405 HAY!
From San Diego all the way to the Bay we got places to stay every place that we play
My name is Lee I live in southern California
I love California, do you love California? (yeah!)
Then say I love California (I love California)
Say I love California
My name is Lee I live in southern California
I love California, do you love California? (yeah!)
Then say I love California (I love California)
That's right I love California
And it's important to know that I'm an import
But I've been loving this state since I was this short
Ever since I see Dre leaning in that drop top 64
Every other state up on my map was getting ignored
Traffic's backed up on the 10 again
Shout outs to all my stoners heading to the club to get they 'medicine'
I got love for my Mexicans and them velvet rope vixens stuck in line like "they should let us in"
But girl you know there was a guest list
And now you know the only way to get up in the spot is with the best tits
I know it's shallow and it's sexist
But that girl who just got in she made an 8 grand investment
I love my struggling actress working at the grove
With extensions in her dome - insecure and all alone
Keep your chin up girl, you're closer than you know
You moved too far from home to be an extra in some show
This song ain't about Crips and Bloods on the streets
This song's about seeing tits and butts on the beach
Find me at the taco truck buy your boy a gordito
While I'm whistling and shouting las doillers por vida
Me and my peoples stay up in californ-i-a
We headed northbound up the 405 hay
From San Diego all the way to the bay we got places to stay every place that we play
My name is Lee I live in southern California
I love California, do you love California? (yeah!)
Then say I love California (I love California)
Say I love California (I love California)
This is Southern California, I love California
Do you love California? (Yeah!)
Then say I love California (I love California)
That's right I love California
My name is Lee I live in southern California
I love California, do you love California (yeah)
Then say I love California (I love California)
This is Southern California - I love California
Do you love California - then say I love California
That's right I love California
In the song "I Love California" by Intuition, the rapper starts by expressing his love for California and how it inspires him to write. He claims that he loves the state he lives in and that the love he has inside for California will never die. Despite severing ties with his home state, he is not willing to go back, and when people say that California keeps him broke, he doesn't care because he is rich in land. The rapper then talks about his love for Hollywood, where he wants to find Olivia Munn and play some GTA with her. He also loves the sound of waves crashing, how insecure celebrities compensate with Maybachs, and the LA hats. However, he expresses hate for the right-wing beliefs in Orange County.
The song continues with Intuition's love for all the people living in California, including his sweet latinas in Eagle Rock and the Oh Sider Riders. He doesn't need a lot to be happy, just a little sunshine and some of the scenic spots in California. He and his people are always in California and have places to stay in every place they play. The song ends with Lee, who lives in Southern California, claiming that he loves the state, and it's important to know that he's an import. He explains how he's been in love with the state ever since he saw Dre leaning in a drop-top 64, and how he loves everyone in the state, including struggling actresses, Mexicans, and velvet rope vixens. The song emphasizes that it's not about the Crips and Bloods on the streets but about seeing butts and tits on the beach.

It's impossible to write a song about California culture, especially L.A., and not reference the clubs. Sick song.

I'll live in Cali one day, for a few years! I couldn't imagine a better place for a person to enjoy their youth! Respect from Ireland. :)
