Did I just hear the phrase "Ghetto Kama Sutra" used in an RnB song?

this is either a new high or new low depending on your stance on modern RnB's overly literal lyrical bluntness.

Mario - "How Could You"

And yeah, you did.

Hold on Dr. Bill, maybe he woke up in a feverish sweat and dreamed it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

yeah, but how did his wife die?

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

I can't help but imagine what the positions would be called. Can't come up with any particularly funny ones, alas.

The killer. The one with the rasp. In the medium close-up. With the stereo-surround sound edit.

I had to keep rewinding my iPod to hear that line when I was listening to the song this morning. I still don't really understand it.

Bill hated on me for liking this song. Reviewed tomorrow on Stylus' SGS!

Ned dreams of me dreaming a little dream. or did i dream that too ?¿?

re: the song - it's okay, but that phrase is just...

"aw baby, you knows I can't afford a real copy o' dat hindu sex book. but look here, i got this one on discount. it's only got 15 positions in it and the pictures are all kinds of blurry and the models are hairy as fuck, but dammmmnnn..."

Dag, son. Dag.

I fail to see what's wrong w/ that line. As if there's a problem w/ doing your own damn thing in the boudoir (which is how I read that line).

I do, however, have problems w/ Omarion talking about what he's packin' in his single. And him not fucking me w/ it.

ODB to thread

this phrase is the only noteworthy thing on the track. let's co-opt it fast so we may never need to hear it again.

― miccio (miccio), Friday, 8 April 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

I'll pretend it's somehow a reference to the Rudy Ray Moore ("Dolemite") album cover where he and his partner form 12 positions vaguely related to astrological signs (a theme seized upon in Leon Haywood's "I Wanta Do Something Freaky To You": "all 12 positions of the zodiac sign").

I just realized that all three of the guy's hits I've heard are about how some girl will sleep with anybody but him.

Noteworthy because Usher's main theme appears to be pussy overload

― miccio (miccio), Friday, 8 April 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

he has a third one?

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 8 April 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

"just a friend 2002"

― miccio (miccio), Friday, 8 April 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

oh right.

Yea, that's one of the worst singles ever.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 8 April 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

By far his worst.

i'm not saying it's wrong at all, however i'm certainly not reading the line like you are. when you hear the phrase "those shoes are ghetto", do you interpret that as "that person is doing their own damn thing with their shoes"? no, it means the shoes are cheap. so it just seems like an awkward and ridiculous way to say "we had cheap sex." and yet as miccio pointed out, take that phrase out and the song is nothing worth paying attention to really.

― Amon (eman), Friday, 8 April 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

actually, shoes might be a bad example. car? house? food?

― Amon (eman), Friday, 8 April 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

"Ghetto" != "cheap"!
