Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

#33 "fabulous," jaheim featuring tha rayne. a singer and performer as teddy (pendergrass)-tastic as jaheim shouldn't have to stoop to gimmicks such as a children's chorus to sell records. not to mention that a laundry list of 'hood cliches ("charge that to tha game," single-parent homes, absent babydaddies, "shots get[ting] popped," "switching lanes," need I really go on?) and a "don't hate on us/we're fabulous" chorus will provoke a reaction the opposite of its intent in many listeners. like me. when crap records happen to good artists.
