So last night among close friends, Hippies (and a girl), popcorn and Meatballs 4, the talk of R. Kelly came up. Mike claimed that he is pure and original genius. I shrugged it off as a random statement. I blurt those out quite often. But the more we talked about it, R. Kelly IS a genius. If you haven't seen Trapped in the Closet Parts 1-68, you're missing out. Youtube or go out and buy that! Lets take a look at example A (from You remind me of Something )
You remind me of my jeep, I wanna ride it/
Something like my sound, I wanna pump it/
Girl you look just like my cars, I wanna wax it/
And something like my bank account I wanna spend it, baby.
Are you kidding me? Tom Waits eat your heart out! Kells is a pure, musical phenomenon! I wish I could go on, and on about this guy, but I don't have time.
I think I have rested my case about R. Kelly being one of the superior talents of all time. As Mikes famous quote goes "That guy can pee on who ever he wants as long as he keeps putting out jams like these". True that.
On a separate note, Minneapolis ranked #1 in the U.S. as the most literate city. That's quite an accomplishment giving the fact that most people can't read the signs that say "bikes have the right of way'......
