From The Vault: Keri Hilson – ‘The Way You Love Me (ft. Rick Ross)’

Published: Sunday 1st Apr 2018 by Joe

“I’m swaggin’, I’m swaggin’, I’m swaggin’, I’m swaggin’”

From The Vault skews racy this week with Keri Hilson’s edgy ‘The Way You Love Me.’

A love song of a different kind to say the least, ‘Love Me’ was included on Keri’s sophomore effort ‘No Boys Allowed’ in 2010.

At the time, the Rick Ross assisted jam was quite controversial due to its no hold barred lyrical content. Indeed, in many ways the song dually served as a braggadocios account of her bedroom gravitas and an emphatic instruction manual for her male companion.

For Hilson though, the main message was one of female empowerment – something she stressed many times in promotional interviews.

The formidable Laurieann “Boom Kack” Gibson directed the fiery visual. With cameos from JoJo, Dawn Richard, Columbus Short and Faith Evans, the video managed to solidly capture the essence of suggestive tune. Guns, frantic choreography, and scant outfits made it more than clear: the new and improved “Ms Keri Baby” had arrived.

[Sidenote: It’s mind-boggling how tame this plays today compared to the jaw-dropping response that greeted this on release.]

********

We’re scratching our heads at how 8 years have flown by without any new Keri material. It’s been teased in earnest, but we hope to see a return in the coming months of an artist who seemed to be on the cusp of something big.

Ready when you are, Keri.

    Rick Ross is my baby daddy. I just love dark fat men with dark gums, especially when they have money.

      • S****** Blonde April 1, 2018

        Drake is fine. He can hit this anytime day or night. Gurl did I tell you that I hooked up with an African man last night? Gurl it was good.

      • JOHNVIDAL April 1, 2018

        What country in Africa? You have to be careful with those Nigerians. Some of them be trying rob you. I know from personal experience.

      • S****** Blonde April 1, 2018

        He was from Nigeria. I wasn’t worried about getting robbed because I ain’t got sh!!t. It was goood. I busted 3 fat n** s. I needed that gurl.

      • JOHNVIDAL April 1, 2018

      • S****** Blonde April 1, 2018

        I’m jealous. This guy I hooked up with was had a small d!!ck his stroke game was on point.

      • JOHNVIDAL April 1, 2018

        I don’t care if a dude is small or big because most of the time he gonna be versatile with me. Now if his asss is flat then we got a problem.

      • S****** Blonde April 1, 2018

      • JOHNVIDAL April 1, 2018

  3. DanYiel Iman April 2, 2018

    I’ve always loved her sound!!

  4. A&R April 2, 2018

    She was on the way and what was even more notable about her rise is that she came into the game later and older than most.. yet grabbing attention left and right. What tends to knock of the potential leads are life issues and a lack of drive/consistency.

    Keri was a CONTENDER FOR THR THROWN, bih.
