However sexy the “I got the right temperature for shelter you from the storm” metaphor in Sean Paul’s hook for his yuge 2005 hit, language barrier or not, the line never sat right with me. The annotation on Rap Genius can be applied to every word Sean Paul ever uttered and no amount of punctuation would help decipher. The only sheltering Sean Paul does in the “Temperature” video is via umbrella and outfitting the snow scene dancers with large white coats. The “storm” in the video is minimal and Sean Paul comes off like a dude insisting a girl take his coat when she’s already sad no twice – she isn’t that cold and we’re about to walk out, Sean Paul. Sean Paul, you want a storm to project your damsel in distress fetishism? Do you Sean Paul? Huh? Well, here’s an ultra dark cloud bootleg courtesy of Morten_HD. Hunker down, avoid windowed rooms, and, Sean Paul, maybe flip through Xenoglossia for pointers.
