R Kelly must be stopped!

I’ve just about had it with Robert Kelly aka R Kelly aka The Pied Piper of R&B aka Cleared of All Charges aka The Remix Killer.  First he took it upon himself to remix The Dream’s Shawty Is The Shit.  Alright, I’ll let that one slide because truth be told, that song wasn’t shit to begin with.

Then he did a remix of Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body.  Another subpar song that I didn’t give a damn about.  But now that you’ve decided to remix Raheem DeVaughn’s Customer, in the words of Bill Duke in Menace II Society, “You know you done fucked up, right?”

You say things in the song like, I got some good, good lemonade?  Dude, keep the golden showers to yourself.  That’s part of what got your ass in trouble in the first place.  Why did you do this, A-Ruh?  You took a song that was fun, sensual and tasteful, and you soiled it……..literally (Drip, drip, drip) .  I don’t think that Raheem’s intent when he first released it.

Raheem had the perfect mix of a play on words describing his body and the love he has to give as food being served to a customer, and you took it upon yourself to raunch it up.  Don’t get me wrong, I like a little kink.  Who am I kidding?  I like a lot of kink!  But I like some class as well, and that’s what Raheem brought to the song.  So Kels, how about you just sing your own songs and stop trying to remix other artists songs?

Love by the Pound

How cool was it to see Barack and Michelle Obama give each other dap (a pound) last night before he gave his speech in St. Paul, MN? That little moment in time that they shared said to me, “In spite of all of the hoopla, we’re still just regular folks, and I’ve got your back no matter what.” And not only that, he gave her a little pat on the tush as well. Gotta love it!
