Sex Weed
TP.3 Reloaded
2005
This ends the first verse of this excellent R. Kelly song that uses weed as a sexaphor.
Full Verse:
Light it up, light it up
Smoke it up, smoke it up
Exhale, exhale
Now let's sex to the cut
Is this a great way to start a song or WHAT? "Sex to the cut?" He just doesn't want to miss out on any opportunity to use the word sex. Do you think he has some ideas for lyrics like, "Let's cut to the chase", and then shakes his head to himself and thinks, that's just not right! Then he thinks for a while, has a little sex, smokes on some trees, gets faded, makes a baby, then it hits him- I know, I'll change it to "Let's sex to the cut"!!
Also, at this point I'd like to call attention to R.Kelly's basic song writing technique:
You take a setting or object
And then you think of how you could have sex in this place or in honor of this object.
Like you have 'The Zoo', where R. Kelly goes on for a long time about how having sex is like being in a zoo. Or ' Sex Panet', where he uses space as a setting for sex. Then you have 'Sex in the Kitchen', which should explain itself. In this case, 'Sex Weed', isn't so much a place but you still get the idea someone was like,
"Hey R., why don't you write a song about smoking weed?"
And R. was like, "Good idea. I'll write a song about weed...and sex."

This blog is really great because you have to have read the previous post to understand the jokes on this one. It's like LOST.
I think I would like to make it a goal to have more sex in honor of objects or places. If that's R.'s secret, I'm going to give it a try.
