So, I had the opportunity to hear the remix to the third single from her yet to be released debut album, In A Perfect World..., "Turnin' Me On" (which features T-Pain and Lil' Wayne; the original only features a guest appearance from the latter), and noticed that a particular line in her verse appeared to be a subliminal shot towards Beyoncé. Like, seriously (notice how I posted a link to Keri's Wikipedia page, just in case people out there need it; that's not the case with Beyoncé)? This totally proves that you have been in the studio with Lil' Wayne too long, his foolish pride is beginning to rub off on you.
Ok, let's backtrack really quick. As stated earlier, "Turnin' Me On" is the third single from her yet to be released debut, and I don't think too many people know that. Seriously, how many people have ever heard her first single, "Energy", or it's follow-up, "Return The Favor"? ... Oh, don't worry, I'll wait. I'm not saying she doesn't make good music, I mean I personally wouldn't know if she does or not; I'm just saying Miss Keri Baby, you don't have enough.. what's the word I'm looking for here... oh yeah, FAME to be coming at B. I mean, "how you gone be talkin' shit// you act like [Beyoncé] just got up in it// [she] been the #1 diva in this game for a minute//".
The line in question proceeds as such: "your vision cloudy if you think that you the best// you can dance you can sing but need to move it to the left, to the left//". Everyone knows the "to the left, to the left" line from the Ne-Yo written number-one single, "Irreplaceable", which is probably why Keri's line was replaced with vocals from Polow Da Don, saying "Don't do it to 'em, shawty" on many versions. Let's look at numbers for a second. "Irreplaceable" is Beyoncé's 4th number-one single out of 5 in her solo career. That's not even counting the Destiny's Child success, which poses the question; what the fuck is Keri Hilson thinking?
She must not know 'bout B, she must not know 'bout B. Keri, the music game can have another you in a minute. Matter fact, she'll be here in a minute, I guarantee it. There is only one Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, and there always will only be one Beyoncé Giselle Knowles. I can understand if this is some publicity stunt, to help boost your album sales, I mean "beef" is like, the only marketing scheme these artists can think up nowadays, but I doubt it'll help. Your music's not that desirable, you can't sing all that well and, as I said, I'm sure many people thought "Turnin' Me On" was like your only song, ever. I wanted to like you Miss Keri, I really did. Such a beautiful young lady you are. But you lost cool points by throwing Wayne on a track, showing your lack of originality as well as marketability, now you pull a stunt like this. Oh! It's also been stated that the rest of the verse was about that Nicole chick, with the really long last name from the Pussycat Dolls, but uh... who cares? It's really a shame to see an artist with all beauty, and no brains.
