Kel Spencer – “Uggs To Hugs” Video
MUSIC By Darius Sinclair™ on November 7, 2009 at 9:55 amUggs are called just that for a reason; they’re terribly ugly. How Kel Spencer managed to make a cool track and video from the boots is beyond me. But he does, bringing along one of R&B’s most unheralded talents, Jesse Boykins III, for a solid collaboration.
The video is your standard “listen to me spit game while you bat your eyes at me” scenario. The ladies will think it’s cute and daydream. The song, though, is like the one you learn word-for-word, picking up game along the way so you can recite it & woo a prospective love interest. Kel Spencer’s lyrics are clever and precise, so this should be his track to unite the ladies and gentlemen.
Who’s Kel Spencer you just said? He’s just a Brooklynite golden boy finally getting his own shine after years of ghostwriting (Will Smith, Nick Cannon, MC Lyte, Wyclef, Teddy Riley, and self-promotion. Look out for his upcoming “novelty” album Salon Stories. For now, watch as “Uggs…” generates a few more fans. The song, not the boots.

That was fresh!
“Now is it just me, or do them Uggs have girls’ feet lookin’ like sheepskin rugs?”
who else used to pick up game from rap songs? CL Smooth is one of the first cats I think of. I used to borrow lines from a couple of tracks off their 2nd album. I used to get my young boy game from BDK lol
@Gotty, did it work?
Since I got my fair share of trim of choice, I say yes.
Trim for the win

Good Gosh Gotty! Sounds like you were a bit of a cavalier chap during your younger days, gallivanting around town seeking out pleasures of flesh via the recitation of some choice hippety hoppity lyrics to a brazen hussy who was fair game for the night.
I was always more of a gentleman and scholar type chappy myself, sitting upon the embankment, gazing towards the tranquility of the river, whilst I reaped creative nourishment from the music that pumped from my Sony Walkman and into my headphones. (Usually Prince’s magnum opus that is Purple Rain or Fleetwood Mac’s grand comeback set, Tango in the Night).
You see it is from such sonic stardust driven sonnets that I drew inspiration to pen the perfect poem, which became the thief that stole the heart of a certain dainty fox. She will Insha’Allah go on to become the future Mrs Paw (I hope to finally tie the knot that binds with her during some stage in 2010).
The power of words eh Gotty? Depending on how they are wielded, can either cut up a soul like the Sword of Zulfiqar or they can serenade oh so softly, like one’s hand was a peacock feather rubbing across the ripe outer thigh of a soulmate.
