Chris Brown and Trey Songz Pay Homage to R. Kelly
. Almost all of the lyrics are shoutouts to Kellz. Brown and Songz use key phrases from "Bump N' Grind," "Ignition," "Half On A Baby," and several others, all employed as seductive metaphors. For example: "F***in' with an R&B thug / You gon' have the greatest sex / Do you mind if I show you off / Baby girl imagine that" lifts directly from Kelly's 2000 smash "R&B Thug." It's very post-modern example of flirtation by historical reference. "Songs On 12 Play" comes off of Brown's upcoming X. In the last few weeks we've heard several cuts from it, including "Autumn Leaves" and "New Flame." Listen here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
