Kelly, R. : Honey

...will not be lighting up the playlists of Al-Qaeda Radio...

The two bashful uberlords of R&B and gold-plated hip-hop overcome their neuroses to duet on a billion selling single about choosing between the lure of gang life and the agony of sexual free choice that will not be lighting up the playlists of Al-Qaeda Radio. That it somehow manages to reflect the ghetto rumble whilst frugging along like the musical equivalent of flashing neon signs in a heatwave is the stuff of wonder. And all built around a sample from those impoverished young tykes the ? On second thoughts...
