He Had That Masculine Thing DOWN: 8 Mannish R&B Singers

R. Kelly

Some of you don’t even like to speak R.Kelly’s name but the man is like a bad penny, he always shows up and no matter how tarnished, he still has worth. No shade Kelly, baby. I know you’re worth more than a penny. It’s just an analogy. I can’t pretend I don’t rock (hard) to his music, old and new. I won’t deny his talent. In fact, I had an R. Kelly jam session at work just last week and this recent re-exposure to some of his genius has reminded me that Kellz will never let you forget his manhood, sometimes in some very raunchy ways. True, a man who’s always throwing his sexuality in your face could be hiding something but with R.Kelly we tend to believe it.

You remind me of my jeep, I wanna ride it

Something like my sound, I wanna pump it

Girl you look just like my cars, I wanna wax it

And something like my bank account

I wanna spend it, baby
