I'm a flirt/I'm a flirt (remix)
Double Up
2007
There's really a lot going on with this song, and as always, it was hard to pick just one line. Expect other lines from this song to get some time here later. I personally think this song should be called "I'm going to sleep with your girlfriend," or something to that effect, as R. spends most of the time giving the reader this open warning/threat. That's nice of him I guess. But wait... What makes R. think he can win my girl over so easily? Please, he spells it out for you, with three, no wait, four very good reasons.
The first time I heard this line, I realized that based on this description, R. is the exact opposite of me. I'm poor (tons of student debt), white, can't sing at all and not particularly handsome. (see left).
The real genius of this song may have been releasing exact same single twice, and calling one version a remix. I honestly can't tell the difference between the two, except for maybe some mediocre rap verses and an annoying synthesizer hook you can barely hear.

I'm just glad that R.'s self confidence is so in tact. I think we could all benefit from having three plus one little affirmations we think to ourselves when its time to flirt. Like Pete, you may not be black, handsome, rich (nor can you sing), but you are: a good blogger, you have an awesome blog, and you really like R Kelly (plus you drew that great self portrait!).
See? Don't you feel better now? This is how R works.
Put it this way, when you were a kid, did you care whether someone was black, handsome or rich? Nah, but if he could sing, you'd be all over him.
