Riff: Ty Dolla $ign – “Actress”

Nov 17, 2015

We all off in this bitch, and I’m all off in that ass/I’m way past the speed limit, yeah I’m driving it fast/Somethin’ out of a magazine she belong on TV/She remind me of a pornstar the way she put it on me

from Actress lyrics by Ty Dolla $ign

Everybody is an actor or actress and wherever there’s young vulnerable people looking desperately to make a name for themselves you’ll most certainly find R. Kelly lurking somewhere nearby. There’s a strange Sybaris type air to the beat that makes it an unusual addition to the album. And while there are worse ways to croon a lady, this one simply feels old and creepy.
