Who WOULDN'T want to get Pregnant By R. Kelly?
Dear R. Kelly,
I wasn’t in a very good mood…I mean I’m regularly not in a good mood (check out this site and videos, that guy’s not in a good mood) but this…this video…this shit right here…right here? HILARIOUS. I laughed right before my righteous indignation kicked in. For those not initiated, please, for the love of God, take a listen to this…
“Girl You make me wanna get you Pregnant” lay your body down
“Now usually i leave the club with a girl who has a man,
and take her to hotel just for a one night stand.
See Im a p playa so i tryin’ to take her on no date,
but much like my Patron, Man I’m just trying to take it straight.”
I… I… Where do I start…? This is like Roman Polanski making a movie about sexin’(verb) barely legal girls. It’s not ILLEGAL for him to sex barely legal girls, but it would be in terrible taste considering his…ahem..situation. Kellz just doesn’t care. This is an amazing example of shiny and bedazzled ignorance. Thats right, he took his regular day old ignorance and had bling added to it. Kellz thought “This just ain’t ignant enough, I want this shit to sparkle in the sunlight.”
Now you may say “Elon, this is a LOVE song. He wants to be with this girl!” Yes, he realized that right after he met this girl with unbelievable booty…oh and she was also a CUTIE. (See? It Rhymed. Kells is back to RHYMING. After his attempts in the “Closet” and “Real Talk” I thought he gave up on that.) Why is Tyreese in this song? Hasn’t he raped my good taste enough by being in BOTH Transformers movies? No he’s trying to coerce women with promises of fame? And THE DREAM? THE DREAM? The Dream is were Carbs go to die. He’s a lightskinneded bag of diabetes. He’s one step above Sean Kingston and he’s talking about getting chicks PREGNANT? And for the love of all things holy will SOMEONE revoke Robin Thicke’s Black Card? He’s gone too far. TOO FAR MAN!
I’m done…possibly with this plane of existence.

Idiotic yes, but you can’t condemn him for not being honest. Here he is admitting he’s a scum bag unlike most guys who pretend they have good intentions but are thinking what he’s saying.
In any case, I look forward to the day when Blacks will stop making minstrel shows out of ourselves. It’s horrible that many of us are working to make progress, but many others are working to keep us back

Pleeease don’t use the word “rape” to mean stuff besides rape.

“Hasn’t he raped my good taste enough by being”
Honestly? You’re not helping with the casual use of this word.

“relax” is a soft sell for attrocities, and it begins with the weight we use in language.

The song is ridiculous but I’m sorry I loved Robin’s part. He did his verse alone in his own studio without the others. He was not offensive nor degrading. He was actually very classy and respectful. I will not condemn him because his part was amazing. The others, I have no words.
I, personally, only listen to Thicke’s part that was ripped. BTW, if you don’t like the song, don’t listen to it. I am tired of everyone always complaining when they can simply not listen to it. It is not anyone’s job to please you. All you can do is not to support it.
I will not support R. Kelly but I have no problem whatsoever with Robin Thicke. He delivered his part. Do I liked he was a part of this song? No, but he made up for it by being the only grown man in the bunch. He was asked by one of his musical idols to contribute a verse. He did so I can’t fault him for that. It is too bad the song had to be this one but I would not have turned him down either.
Paula likes the song so really, does our opinion matter anyway. I can’t be disappointed by a song. It is just a song, people. Not reality. If you act out every aspect of a song, tv show, book, or movie, you are an idiot. And if you are worried about kids, it is the parents responsibility to parent, not anyone else’s.
And if you want to be technical, this was the most niggerish thing Robin could have done. That isn’t a revocation, that’s lifetime induction into “nigger please” territory. But if you stop supporting him because he sent in a verse to his idol, hell you were never a fan to begin with. Go ahead and remove Keri Hilson, Whitney Houston, Usher, etc. from your list since they worked with Kelly as well.
Give me a break. I am more offended by the sheer failure of the Obama administration than anything sung by R. Kelly. I don’t have to listen or buy his cd but for the next 3 yrs. Obama is our President. He has more power over my life than a song ever could. Stop placing power over a song and start reading that ridiculous health care bill. If we spent more time on that, we as a people would all be better off.

Yeah..I’m backing up softestbullet & misfitina. That took me right out of the moment & made me cringe.

Chalk up another who was right-onning this post up until “raped my good taste,” and cringing thereafter.
You’re a funny man, EJW, and I enjoy your stuff, and one of the things I enjoy about it? Is that when rape comes up in your work, you’re usually not using “rape” in the new vernacular of “unpleasant experience I did not enjoy.”

Ok, I completely understand the concern with the use of the word rape out of it’s usual and deplorable context. I’m assuming that none of the folks above have ever been ‘tortured’ by anything, ever, in casual conversation.
I’m caught by the deeper (ha!) conversation in this song about ‘get you pregnant’ and how it implies that it’s the male performers decision and how the misogyny and objectification is just a sweet lyrical moment in each verse. And from each of these ‘idols’ such lamentably weak writing.
Oh and to the commenter who likened Kellz to Obama: a polite f-u. Kellz and his ilk have been numbing your brains for over 25 years and the impact of pop culture sleaze is pervasive and profoundly intellectually damaging to the evolution of the interaction between men and women and between afro diasporic men and women in particular. Obama’s been president for less than a year and has undertaken the repair of 8 years of decimation on every front with more skill and aplomb and care than we could have expected from any other person to take that position. We may yet come out the other end of this disaster we used to like to call the United States of America. People like you who jump to criticize him without allowance for the undertaking on our behalf, dismay me. You also almost never turn out to be people who have ever done more than carry out the most basic of human bodily functions. Work it out.

Why Obama becomes part of every conversation even if it’s about what type of salad dressing we like, I don’t know. This is not about Obama, this is about the travesty that is R. Kelly. I still don’t understand his appeal. There has to be some whay to escape his ignorance. Guaranteed he’s going to end up with a BET award next year for this one. I cringe every time I hear an artist I like has worked with him, but i forgive them for their transgression.
And just as an aside, I can understand the context in which the word “rape” is being used. It just emphasizes the intensity of how bad those two transformer movies were (though the first was much definitely better than the second.) I’ve experienced both the act and the movies and though no one can ever compare the two, I can understand exactly what Elon meant. No need to be so sensitive.

I have heartburn now!
Further to Dobie’s point, there are multiple meanings for rape:
rape 1 (rāp)
n.
-The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.
-The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction.
-Abusive or improper treatment; violation: a rape of justice.
As a feminist, I implore you to pay particular attention to the last line of R. Kelly’s verse if y’all want to get offended : “About to handle my business, then put that girl in my kitchen.” REALLY? (Said in my best Amy Poehler voice!)
I won’t touch this right now…all I can say is that it’s no accident that Susan Boyle is about to have the #1 album of 2009 in the US. Aint you tired?

I think that this song embodies why black people are so poor, because of the high rate of kids we have. If you have a child in high school, it’s harder for you to go to college, it can be done, but its not easy and most don’t do it. Than add another kid and another and another and your chances of getting the good life becomes smaller and smaller with each kid you push out. I’m saying this because I saw it happen to a very bright friend of mine (she had a higer GPA than I did) who got pregnant in high school, than had 3 more kids, meanwhile I went to college and grad school but she is just now getting her GED and yes I make more than 3 times what she makes, and now I am married so my kids will enjoy a two income household, while she is still struggling. This song just glorifies making babies when in reality having kids are a huge financial burden that most people can’t overcome. I’m just sayin’……

BWWAaaahahaha.
And I get the concern for language and context and the affect of all this on my people. Really I do. But from a purely human-to-human relational standpoint, all I can do is laugh and wonder if dudes really would say to me, “Girl, I just wanna get you pregnant” as a pickup line or something.
Maybe it’s laughing to keep from crying, but I just think this is HILARIOUS!

ok…I found it seriously funny when Elon said that “The Dream” was where Carbs go to die….I laughed silently out loud!!! By after that I took note of “R.Kelly” and he confuses me…starts off singing about his freakish ways, then he turns into an angel and can fly and touch the sky, then child molestation charges, trapped in the closet….and now back to impregnating a big booty chick…..a tad bipolar in the music area R.Kelly…
