    Unsaved by anything resembling an acceptable musical hook, Kelly's lyrics are uniformly dumb.

    Anyone who listens to and admires this criminal should double up in the same jail cell in which this guy belongs, if not for his money and Anyone who listens to and admires this criminal should double up in the same jail cell in which this guy belongs, if not for his money and station in life.
