I'm a Flirt
R. Kelly vs Broken Social Scene
Lyrics

Anticipation As opposed to the usual mashup problem (good song + good song = shit), I was told this one was more like good*good=good^2. And this was from a person without mathematical qualifications.
Vocals Do you remember Trapped in the Closet? The vocals are like that at the end of each line--an extension toward higher notes, similar to asking a question. So annoying. The MCing is pretty fast, though, R. Kelly doesn't do any of it.
Music Broken Social Scene brings the house down in this one. It makes the song both interesting and unique.
Verses Underwhelming. Most attention is focused on the MCs who spit words deadpan.
Chorus Clearly the best part of the song. Particularly the later chorus that also takes the place of the breakdown.
Hook The song really lacks a hook. "I'm a flirt" maybe singable, but it doesn't get stuck in your head.
Breakdown See chorus.
Lyrics There are a lot of words to this song, but none of them particularly interesting. I don't really wanting to worship R. Kelly by singing his ladies man warning to all the b/fs out there.
Hit Potential None. Mashups have no potential.
Final Note
HATE
