If you are not appalled
you're not paying attention..
so goes the popular bumper sticker theses days, and given my political leanings I surely concur...
but this sticker could also be speaking of the current state of lyrics in R&B songs when it comes to sex. Rock and roll has long been lame on this front - anyone for the "Lemon Song" by Zep or "Big Balls" by AC/DC or "Everybody Wants Some" by Danger Danger?
But R&B has had Prince, Barry White, Nelly, even Lisa Lisa to keep it smooth and sexy. Sure htere have been some anomalies - remember "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Colour Me Badd aka Color Me Cheezy?
But things have gotten out of hand so to speak.
First and foremost, the candy as a sex metaphor has to be kicked to the curb.
Fiddy Cent sings
"I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop"..
is his new movie called "Get Cheesy or Die Trying'" or what?
And Trick Daddy's opus "Sugar" is pure Velveeta.
What about the Black Eyed Peas "My Humps"?
"What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
What u gon’ do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I’m a make, make, make, make you scream
Make u scream, make you scream.
Cos of my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps. (Check it out)"
Off the heezy or straigt up cheezy?
Far be it from me to claim I know from sexy...but this sounds like she is describing chronic acne..
But by far the worst offender in my book is a song by Marques Houston, "Naked"..her's a snippet:
"Come on baby turn the lights off let's get naked (ooh come on)
Come on babygirl you know I just can't take it (I can't take it no more)
Let your panties hit the floor (floor)
Let your body steal the show right now (right now)
It seems like you're ready
So come on girl I just can't wait to see us naked (us naked yea)
[Verse Two]
I know you want this girl I see it in your eyes (eyes)
Don't be ashamed of what you got between those thighs oh (oh)
You know I'm gon' try not to be so excited
But I can't help it feels so good to be invited
So "baby get ready cus here I go ooh (here I go ooh)"
Okay playa..maybe I'm not in the know but in my weak opinion this s**t is CHEEZY!
But I'm not Marques..

man that stuff is bad. rafa makes fun of me b/c i sometimes listen to the country station but as i point out there aren't many options in terms of radio stations and a lot of country is just lame pop as opposed to painful and offensive r&b. so yeah when 99.1 puts on a lame bachata song and npr has even lamer diane rehm on, i do see what's on the country station b/c i'd rather hear about the dog dying and the woman leaving than about the 35 different ways some lame r&b singer is going to do the dog and the woman. go dixie chicks! kill that mofo earl!
