I know Kells is a child molestor and everything, but major propers to Clyde for landing a super star. Clyde is my dude 100%, but even though he got the Pied Piper on this one he is capable of way more than he's been showing lately. This track is just another joint about indiscriminately piping down runners– Boring! I understand that if that's the life he's living then he's gonna speak on it, but damn.The Negro League and World Premiere were dope because they had the stuntin' anthems and more heartfelt stuff. But since Clyde signed with Black Wall Street, it seems like we're only hearing shallow records that misrepresent Clyde's musical capabilities.
When I chopped it up with Clyde a couple years ago at a Goapele concert, he was working on Theater Music and said it was going to be a real well-rounded album. He supported this claim by telling me that he had been in the studio with Common and Wyclef. Of course TM is still trapped in the fledgling industry machine, but Clyde's EP Bass Rock looks to include the Wyclef collabo. So maybe there is hope for a more in-touch Mr. Carson after all.
Speaking to this track specifically though, R. Kelly is using auto-tune, which is ridiculously unnecessary. You're R. Kelly, you can actually sing! Will someone please grow some balls and stop processing their every utterance? If you can sing (Kells), then do it! If you can't then don't. There is nothing wrong with experimenting, but everyone is doing the same old shit and it's played. What ever happened to originality in music anyway?

Originality? What the fuck is that?!
You act like music is supposed to actually be a form of self expression.
Love you man, love what you're doing!!!

Whoever wrote this article... its ridiculous. You sound very ignorant in some aspects. This joint is clean bro.. let r kells experiment with different shit.
you sound like a hater. write about more positive shit while telling the story you want..
Anonymous heads,
I'm not hating at all, just offering constructive criticism. In regards to Clyde, I like him a lot and know what he's capable of so I'm challenging him to live up to that.
In regards to Kells, I'm saying he doesn't need to jump on the auto-tune train cuz he can actually sing- thats a compliment. AND its not experimenting if everyone and their mother does it.
This can only be construed as hating or ignorance if yall dont understand constructive criticism and artistic growth.
