When Omarion’s new video dropped the other day, people hardly seemed to care that it was the song was more than a little reminiscent of Mario’s “Break Up”—nope, they were too busy trying to figure out what was really happening with the back of dude’s head. And it’s official: there’s an eyesore where his hair used to be (it’s so cold, it’s so cold, it’s so cold…). Shag action + LA logo = brand-new candidate for worst R&B haircut of the year!
The thing is, O’s bad idea isn’t even a lock for the award. Nope, R&B dudes have spent the past couple of years steadily one-upping each other with horrible domes (ayo2K!). Don’t believe us? Read on…then print it out, take it to the barber shop, and let ’em know: “ANYTHING but this.”

In a stunning P.R. move, embattled and possibly insane R&B legend R. Kelly invited a gang of “music journalists” to his house in the Chicago suburbs last night, where he previewed tracks from his upcoming album and generally made the journalists feel important and more likely to not judge Kellz for his allegedly freaky tendencies. And it worked! Everyone from cable TV titans to our favorite radio employee wrote glowing accounts of the evening. Are we sad we weren’t invited?
Well, yes and no. Yes because we found it odd that we’re deemed not as important as people whose contribution to journalism amounts to a Blogspot account, and no because WE WENT TO HIS HOUSE ANYWAY, BITCHES*. What, you thought Complex wouldn’t find a way around some bullshit-ass guard dogs? Not only did we go, but we went rogue in that piece like Jack muhfuckin’ Bauer. Get ready for a look inside R. Kelly’s crib, Complex-style….

There aren’t many sacred cows in the Complex offices, but when it comes to our country, we’re udderly serious. The good ol’ U.S. of A. has contributed many positive things to the world (genocide, Jim Crow and Ted Nugent come to mind). So you can imagine our shock and dismay when video surfaced this week of the Dallas Mavericks’ Josh Howard refusing to sing (and even cursing!) during “The Star Spangled Banner” at a charity football game. Oh, the outrage!
Aw, who the fuck are we kidding? We thought it was hilarious when the Kernersville, NC native blew off the national anthem (even funnier? The news media’s shock and dismay). Which got us to thinking: Francis Scott Key’s 1814 banger has been straight disrespected and probably will be for years to come. Check out 5 ways that country’s most sacred song has been turned into a national disaster below…
