Let us not forget Mya’s “My Love Is Like…Wo”:
My love is like…wo
My kiss is like…wo
My touch is like…wo
My sex is like…wo
My ass is like…wo
My body’s like…wo
And you’re kissin’ it
So what you think of it
That is some deep insight on the human condition, my friends.
I read this post, and had no reply to offer–until my wife happened to stop on VH1 which just happened to be playing R. Kelly’s new song “Trapped in the Closet” (I think that is the title). Worst song ever! Not to mention he has 4 or 5 parts to the story. Ugh.
Wait wait wait – you’re saying that The Black Eyed Peas, the artists who brought us “Hey Mama” and “Let’s Get Retarded,” write stupid songs?
The Black Eyed Peas are THE worst popular group out there today. Gwen Stefani can be a fun performer and a cool, sexy frontwoman, despite her occasional musical missteps like “Harlem Black Girl.” I’m no R. Kelly fan, but even though he’s a pervy scumbag and he inflicted “Trapped In the Closet” on us, at least he can sing. The Peas don’t have anything going for them. Their lyrics range from the insipid (this song) to the offensive (“Let’s Get Retarded”), and their music is reminiscent of pre-fab “bands” that travel from middle school to middle school, spreading messages about saying no to drugs and saying yes to abstinence. They are the ultimate in what some very out-of-touch, uncool adults want to sell to children as hip and fun… children’s music disguised as grownup music, but with the telltale signs of lack of talent and a point.
