Some of those and I won't call 'em whores ' Cause in the 90s you gotta respect the ladies

Song: Summer Bunnies
Album: Summer Jammin' '97

Little known fact: R. Kelly started a master's in Feminist Studies in 1994, but dropped out due to the heavy demands of his job. It was just TOO hard, what with all the sexing, singing, bragging and partying with Usher/Jay-Z to finish his thesis: "The politics of promiscuity, gender and postmoderism in America, including L.A, NYC, Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Houston and Detroit."

Needless to say, his adviser was terribly disappointed. Not only had she lost a prime pupil, but of course he was doing her and his quick retreat stung a little. Nevermind that she was at the top of her field at the time, earning tenure, publishing her second book, giving lectures everywhere R. gives concerts. Her career, like the career of so many women, was really just an overly elaborate way of meeting and impressing dudes.

But though he abandoned his PhD to sing, have sex, and sing about having sex, R. Kelly took some of the lessons he'd learned during his weeks of graduate study with him. Some scholars may argue years hence that his entire discography is informed by and infused with a certain brand of feminism. They may choose this song as a good place to start: After all, R. Kelly, "won't call 'em whores." He probably calls them "purveyors of fine goods," or perhaps "independent businesswomen." Hell, he'd probably just as soon call them "CEOs" of their own "company" because this is the mid-ninteties, and woman can do anything.
