    that's my main problem w/ the majority of R&B now...there's no difference in the lyrics you will hear in an R&B song and a rap song now...they all sound alike literally...R&B singers wanna be rappers and rappers all wanna sing now...I blame Nelly and the success of "Dilemma" lol

    I still haven't listened to his mix tape yet but I agree that that was one of the best songs on graffiti

    "Sing Like Me", "Wait" and "What I Do" are the only 3 songs from that album I still listen to...but his mixtape his what his album should've been IMO...Madusa,Perfume, Too Freaky, No ? (even tho I generally hate cussing in my R&B lol), I Get Around, Convertible are all hot ass songs and those are just the ones I think are the best

    Raheem Devaughn makes classic music. Check his song "Mo Better". People will be listening to that song decades from now.

    cosign, dudes like Raheem and Musiq are boring as ? to me; they are the Talib Kweli and Blu of R and B. I recognize the talent but they just don't have the certian something that compells me to listen to them all the time.

    you just described that Donnell Jones album


    "I'm watching you move
    I stop to fantasize
    About the way I'm gonna put it on that ass tonight
    So come on and ride shotgun
    I got the bubbles if you like it we can pop some
    I see me and you, flossing in my coupe"

    ? please lol

    Where in any of those lyrics did he get graphic and say something like "Im gonna eat you out" or "beat you down with my ? ". "Put it on that ass tonight" doesn't necessarily means sexing.
