***ARE YOU DIGGING THIS TRACK? THEN YOU'LL LOVE THE SHINY NEW VERSION! TAKE A PEEK AT THE VERSION ON OUR RECORD, "SPACE IN MY NOGGIN"!
From article by Clarisse Loughrey for
independent.co.uk
"Kelly wrote the main basis of 'Ignition (Remix)', specifically the lyrics "It's the remix to 'Ignition'/ hot and fresh out the kitchen", a whole five or so years before he wrote 'Ignition'. The lines were temporarily shelved, as Kelly didn't particularly think they were any good; potentially because "remix to 'Ignition'" was an entirely meaningless phrase at that point.
To break that little factoid down: R. Kelly wrote lyrics identifying the remix to a song which would not exist on this planet for another five years.
Though he admits it's "ass-backwards", when asked how exactly he managed to write remixed lyrics to a song he hadn't created yet, all he could do was say, "You tell me.""
