Cut the Man Some Slack
Houston Press
Isiah Carey, the Fox 26 reporter whose love for H-town's biggest music label has earned him the title "Rap-A-Lot 4 Life," has started a blog. Which is kind of surprising, since his station hasn't yet been convinced that this whole trend of having a Web site is something that's going to last.
Carey recently addressed R. Kelly's Houston visit, and complaints by fans that the star wouldn't pose for pictures with them. "Just think," Carey told fans. "Kelly is already facing a long time behind bars for allegedly appearing in some questionable pictures with an underage girl. So ask yourself why he isn't just taking pictures with strangers who can eventually claim anything with a photo. It's just a form of buffer to protect him from any future legal woes."
Well, yeah, assuming those fans were 13-year-old girls asking Kelly to piss on them.
Why all the R. Kelly love, Isiah?
Carey says Kelly has a lot of supporters in Houston, "and I didn't want to upset them but I also didn't want to be perceived as someone who would excuse or dismiss the allegations."
Using a vague description like "some questionable pictures" was an attempt "to keep a classy blog rather than use vulgarity," he says. "I just wasn't prepared to write Ôpee' or be descriptive and say Ôurinate.' After all, my mother and family read the blog."
Damn. We were looking forward to Carey's analysis of the lyrics to Bun B's "Trill Recognize Trill," but we guess not.

Well, ya gotta expect some critisism. Good or bad. It just means people are looking at your blog. Thats good. You are free to express your thoughts on your blog.
ReplyDeleteIsiah you know you do a great job. I've watched you since you arrived in houston and you do much more than rap or entertainment stories. You break stories consistently on FOX that other reporters don't have. So just keep your head up and ignore the haters out there like the houston press.
