Year Of The Gentleman, yes please.

I love radio Hip hop and R and B, a lot, it's pop music on the grand scale at this point and how can you not love that? The answer is pretty easily sometimes, but i am not one of those people, trust you me.
And while many of my friends have given into the pop-tastic awesomeness of current radio hip hop (i mean seriously folks, when that album drops they might as well just turn off the radio and play it over and over and over because that is basically what is on the radio anyways.) They cant seem to get on the R & B train with me. Which, by the way, has silky smooth velvet seats free champagne and the best dressed staff you could ever imagine.
I am not here to wonder why that is though, this blog is about opinions, namely mine.
It all started when the tape player in my car broke, and much like the tape player i was broke so never got around to fixing it. So i started listening to the radio every time i drove. one day i was listening to the oldies station as i was wont to do and the DJ was talking between songs and in his obnoxious as hell DJ voice(radio DJs you will get what is coming to you too, Opinion Style!) said "Can you believe this? The number one song on the R & B charts is Actually called 'Feelin' On Your Booty' Can you believe that?"
Well Mr. Jackass radio DJ Douche bag i could and still do believe that. In fact i karaoke it quite frequently. Is anybody karaokeing any song you wrote? unless you are Greg Kihn the answer is NO.
So i stopped listening to rock radio in my car. Coincidentally this happened at the same time 107.7 THE BONE started playing shit like mudvayne, Creed, Ratt, and pretty much every other garbage offshoot of metal(Opinion) So not really that big of a loss.
BUT i digress. This led me to have a love for top 40 r & b that i never before knew i had. because NPR gets a little boring sometimes quite frankly.(Opinion)
Anyways i love Ne-yo. Not the character played by Keanu Reeves in the wildly successful Matrix trilogy, but the prolific R & B singer/songwriter who was named AFTER the character played by Keanu Reeves in the wildly successful Matrix trilogy.
I mean dude writes his own songs and hellof other peoples songs and they are almost always GOOD if not GREAT. Slick production, great pop sensibilities and the lyrics arent always stupid which is about as good as your'e going to get this day and age. (Opinion) Also the dude knows how to dress! Watch the "Hate that I love you" video (if you want to see Rihanna walking around in her undies) and tell me you don't dig his style.
I know what your'e thinking "Ne-yo is just a broke ass Michael Jackson." first of all don't fucking talk that way to me on my own blog because i made this shit, and B the MOST broke ass Michael Jackson out there is, in fact, Michael Jackson.
