Life is intense in a slow jam. You don't get to "Baby, I love you so much I'm standing out in the rain!" without having an argument first. So, in order to not confuse the viewers (because obviously we can't come to the conclusion on our own), many slow jam videos feature an argument at the beginning.
Example 1: R. Kelly's Bump N' Grind. Oh, R. Kelly you set yourself up with this one. Remember when you had sex with a minor? You should have seen something wrong with that bump n' grind. This video starts with R.Kelly's lady friend being upset that he treated her like one of his groupies. "I know you didn't even try to play me like that..." complete with a sassy finger wag. Oh snap, R. Kelly, you better make it up to her. What better way than singing Bump N' Grind. Best part of this video - the back up dancers are wearing hard hats. Safety first at R. Kelly's concerts.
Example 2: I Wanna Know by Joe. This video starts off with an argument between an unnamed man and the object of Joe's desire. Joe, ever the hero, swoops in to rescue the damsel with the cheating boyfriend. It's not weird at all that they just broke up and he's are already asking her on a date. He gives her his real number, so you know it's legit.
ok, i do not know why but i read "remember when r kelly had sex with a minor" as "remember when r kelly had sex with a mirror" and i was like...how and when did that happen. but if anyone was going to figure out a way to do that, it would be r kelly.
