Really? Last year my friend and I became obsessed with singing R. Kelly's "I'm a Flirt" every single night that we went out. And that song has R. Kelly, it has T-Pain, it has T.I. It's a pretty long song, and we don't do it well at all but you have to have a little bit of stamina to get through. And definitely at the end of the song I'm winded. I get to the point where I hear the first few notes and I'm like oh man, I'm not gonna make...
...March 1973 when he realized he had to fire his chief domestic advisor, John Ehrlichman, for abetting the Watergate cover-up - or, rather, for being fingered by the press for doing it.

If democracy does come to China, I hope the revolution isn’t so gruesome a spectacle. Played with the volume down, though, this album would make great elevator music. The undifferentiated wash of recycled rock tropes is the perfect soundtrack to awkward encounters in enclosed spaces. The music...
...popular culture references, such as when he promises to make you “wetter than Michael Phelps.” Ludacris has always been one of the downright funniest hip-hop lyricists, and “One More Drink,” with an appearance from T-Pain, keeps the punchlines flowing. “Theater of the Mind” seems to have a track for every facet of Luda’s persona. Luda works in comical rhymes, dance-ready beats, pugnacious boasts, and a sense of social conscience over the course of the record?...
