Ne-Yo's new movie...

In January, the singer will make his big-screen debut in "Stomp the Yard," formerly titled "Steppin' " but changed so it wouldn't be confused with the just-released dance movie "Step Up."
"It's based on the black fraternities in the Atlanta colleges, and there's a type of dance called steppin'," Ne-Yo explained. "It's not R. Kelly's 'Step in the Name of Love' steppin'. It's a lot more energy, where you make the rhythm and the beat of the song with your hands and your feet, so it's a lot of stomping and clapping and chanting. I guarantee it's going to be one of those films you're gonna walk out of the theater trying to do some of the moves to honor it."

Okay, so Ne-Yo has a loose connection with the movie 'Step Up'. Why do we care about that?

So now Al has connected himself with that movie as well.

Furthermore, Ne-Yo's movie is about a steppin'/stomping dance (presumably a song by Ne-Yo himself). This made me instantly think of Weasel Stomping Day. Of course, one problem is that it seems WSD will be an animated original. Another problem is that Ne-Yo's movie/song won't be released until January, so I don't see how Al could parody it. Hmm...

That's bizarrely intriguing.

weird...could this be a sign?

I think a "What The?" fits well here.

Without question, this has the potential to be the biggest curveball in this album's spoiler period. (And after the DDTS/W&N curveball on top of it)

The way I see it:

-This could just be a mistake
-Ne-Yo's in the polka
-There was a Ne-Yo parody that fell through the cracks
-We purposely were given a red herring when the parody's were announced

and the most farfetched theory-
It's a parody of Ne-Yo's So Sick called Mr. Hicks

I'm still going with the mistake theory, but wow...this is one strange, strange twist

Has Ne-Yo ever done a duet with Usher or R. Kelly?

I've NEVER even heard of Ne-Yo before I read this thread.

Wow....that's very interesting. I have no idea what to make of this....

The "Step-Up" soundtrack has a song by Chamillionaire and Ciara called "Get Up.

Is it possible that "Get Up" will be part of "White and Nerdy," like "The Plumbing Song" and "Bedrock Anthem?"

Get Up was released in July as a single, so it's certainly a possibility depending on when Al recorded W&N
