Exclusive Stream: DJ Skee & DJ Drama Present R. Kelly, My Demo Tape
- story THE FADER
The thing about R. Kelly singing/rewording/remixing today’s popular hits is that he kind of bests them. This is not a surprise, considering it’s, you know, ROBERT MFing KELLY, but it breathes new life into songs you maybe thought you hated because the radio plays them 74 times an hour. (NYC morning radio rotation: “Birthday Sex,” “Best I Ever Had,” “Knock You Down.” Repeat.) Of course Kellz kicks it off with The-Dream’s “Kelly’s 12 Play” because the man will never refuse an opportunity to be meta. This is Drama’s best Gangsta Grillz in a hot minute, no?

Video: Keri Hilson f. Kanye West and Ne-Yo, “Knock You Down”

How amazing is it that Keri Hilson’s album actually came out? No offense to the label, but we thought it would never happen. Congrats, Keri. Here’s the video for “Knock You Down” featuring Kanye West in a jean jacket doing high school underdog raps and Ne-Yo singing the line I used to be the commander-in-chief on my pimp ship. Go for it, Ne-Yo.
