New Album Releases, 5-29-2007: Richard Thompson, R Kelly, The Get Quick
Published May 31, 2007
Woo, hoo! New Richard Thompson album Sweet Warrior this week. This is his first electric album in four years, and features apparently a fairly scathing anti-war song "Dad's Going to Kill Me." That "dad" is short for "Baghdad."
Other than that, it looks pretty thin for new album releases this week. The obvious big name item this week is Double Up from R Kelly. This has a particularly overloaded list of guest collaborators, including Snoop Dogg, Usher, Nelly, Ludacris and Kid Rock, among others. I do not get the appeal of this guy. I know he's sold a bunch of records, and it's my understanding that Negroes LOVE R Kelly. But the only song of his I can quite remember is the infamous epic "Trapped in the Closet," and that mostly because of the South Park parody. Works for him, though.

u dam fukin white boy. causing al pollution and shit ruining the world that god supposed to have made 4 u white peoplle.
50cent0078- If you have issues that you feel a need to discuss with me personally, I'm not hard to find. I live in Franklin County, Indiana. Let me know when you're coming through, and I'll bake you a cake.
If you're going to get yourself all worked up because I dared utter the word "Negro," that's certainly your privilege - though it's a perfectly good clinical term, not any kind of insult or derogatory slang. Since we're picking word to choose to be arbitrarily offended by, I will choose to get bent out of shape over the word "subdivision." Anybody uses that word, they'll have to answer to ME.
By the way, for anyone offended by my use of the word "Negro" in this story but too lazy and shiftless to click the link for an explanation, I was paraphrasing Aaron McGruder's Boondocks tv show episode "The Trial of R Kelly." This episode was basically an inner-directed satire of black folk making fools of themselves with their ridiculous chauvinistic support of the undeniably guilty child abuser R Kelly. The specific quote involved young Huey angrily confronting the prosecutor, saying "Do you know how much niggers love R Kelly?" I carefully substituted a neutral clinical term in place of the infamous epitaph.
Here's an interesting question that someone offended by the term such as this 50Cent person might answer for me: Which would be more offensive, me directly quoting McGruder saying "niggers love R Kelly" or paraphrasing it without quotes as Negroes love R Kelly? Enquiring minds want to know.
I actually think black people (any race) are more raciest to white people, than whites are to blacks. I have had many conversations about this topic to a lot of mixed race people and find my theory is absoulutly correct. The problem is: England has always been a white country FACT. Now as more and more black people are living here its becoming quite difficult to see that this country was once mainly white! The black people are getting quite paranoid about this, so are doing anything to sway the government mind in there favour so not to get kicked out of this country. By the way I am not white! So no the way in which my kind are thinking!! I mean why would we want to live in a poor country and have no free NHS, sounds bizzare to me, we may as well take advantage of England, SOD THE WHITE PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY THINK!!
