R. Kelly is a muthafuckin genius in my muthafuckin opinion. And many other muthafuckin opinions. Now if any one of y'all muthafuckas disagree, thats fine with me cause thats y'all's muthafuckin opinion. Just dont oppose my muthafuckin opinion, or insult my muthafuckin intelligence, or question my muthafuckin taste in music.

Ight?

R Kelly is highly overrated as of late. He was okay in the early 'til mid 90's but now a lot of his stuff lacks substance. His singing isn't that great, the lyrics are lazy too. That teenage girl lovin', golden shower spwein' balf fucker R. Kelly ain't nothing special.

I'm still waiting for his trial to start.

purplecam said:

So am I.

He's one of my favorite R&B artists doing some of the most innovative stuff out here now. Even when he's not in his sex mode, he's making beautiful music. Take one listen to the now overrated "I Believe I Can Fly" and his all of his albums up to TP-2.Com and you're get what I'm really saying...

Why isn't HE in court? polaroids, video tape. Real actual fucking evidence!

Sorry if i sound like a bitter ol' MJ fan, but hey! I am!

That's what gets me too. There is REAL PROOF of what he did and this trial gets delayed and delayed while he's able to keep talking about being trapped in some closet. WTF.

silverchild said:

What do you consider innovative about what R Kelly is doing? Honest question.

Marrk said:

That real evidence was thrown out (if I'm remembering correctly), because police didn't have proper search warrants

You're talking about the charges in Florida being dropped but he's still charged with that stuff in Chicago.

purplecam said:

Correct. I was only referring to the evidence that was thrown out.

RipHer2Shreds said:

So what? Sneddon and Melville would get that shit in kangaroo court somehow. They should just play his fucking music as evidence, then just give him the fucking chair.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Yeah they found more sextapes at his house in Flordia with another underage girl. But because they searched his home without a warrant those charges were dropping, leaving just the charges in Chicago.

Dont get me wrong, I've seen the tapes and I know he's guilty, but he's a muthafuckin genius, mayne! Damn, I he's better be recording 50 albums worth of shit cause aint no ways he's gonna avoid jail time.

Marrk said:

Don't shoot the messenger, dude. I'm just filling you in!

OnionJuice said:

Childporn.

OnionJuice said:

How can the same person like Tupac and R. Kelly ?

RipHer2Shreds said:

sorry.

Fleshofmyflesh said:

I only like R. Kelly as a artist and just an a artist.

2pac had his flaws too just as everybody, but Kelly's is just more disturbing.

OnionJuice said:

Okay, but how is he a genius?
That's a very lofty word.

He is a genius in this era of R&B I agree. Put he can't hold serve with his predecessors, marvin, stevie, prince, sam.

popgodazipa said:

I'm sure there are those who are geniuses at cleaning toilets, but they don't choose to advertise the fact.

He's a genius in this era of R&B...

So he's a balogne sandwich surrounded by dog shit.

That don't make the guy a filet mignon.

kdj997 said:

I agree in the early 90 's he put out some gems....but that new 5 part shit is straight up GAWBAGE!!!!

Fleshofmyflesh said:

If you can sing, write and produce your own songs....

If you can make hits for yourself and alot of other artists...

If you got alot of other singers and rappers coming to you to get on their album....

If you dont mind submitting some unreleased songs to be on underground mixtapes...

If you are creative in your songwriting and aint scared to take different approach as an artist like make donnin silly alias or dressing up in ridiculous attire....

If you can write songs about anything at all...

If you can do any type of song (love, sex, gospel, inspirational, dance, etc.) and make them all sound tight...

If you can make songs like "Bad Man", "Be Careful", "Far" More", "I Believe I Can Fly", musical songs like "Contagious", funny shit like "Trapped In The Closest", two songs about "Gotham City", and have the balls to release a whole "step" album (which wouldve been a career suicide for most artists in this day and age)...

If you can withstand the test of time and evolving of music like the from the new jack swing era of early the 90s to now...

If you've been doing this for over a decade since 1990...


.....then you fit the description of the dictionary's meaning of what a genius is.

Muthafuckin genius level shit!!!

Love his guy biting first album "bonn into the 90's".

Love most of his second, third was average. "r." was good, but the midtempo's were kinda dull.

R kelly wrote for hi-five too

I liked the work R Kelly did with Public Announcement quite a bit. Here and there, I've liked a few of his solo songs, but nothing really in the past ten years. I'll take She's Got That Vibe, Honey Love and Slow Dance over any of his solo tunes.
