R. Kelly is the greatest lyricist of our generation
I just got this e-mail from CorporateCard, who is well-aware of my near-psychotic fanatical obsession with Chi-town's finest R&B thug, R. Kelly:
R. Kelly previewed an unreleased song called "The Zoo" that featured the following lyrics:
"It's like Jurassic Park, but I'm your Sexasaurus."
"You and me hoppin like two kangaroos"
"You got me locked in your cage of ecstasy and I don't want to be free"
"I'm your Tarzan and you my Jane"
Once again, R. Kelly has woven a web of intricate metaphors that smarmy sons-a-bitches like Jamie Foxx can only dream of crafting. To write an entire song about sexing it to the break of dawn while sticking rigidly to a zoo theme requires gifts beyond those of the average asshole with a microphone, a pair of sunglasses, and a Kanye West producer credit. Indeed, what would R&B be without the R-uh???? Kells rules so hard it's not even funny.
