I don't know why but in this song he reminds me of those people released from mental hospitals who roam around the streets talking to themselves and scratching... falloff

Is it true that he can't read? I seem to remember mistermaxx talking about that on an MJ board back in the day. He wasn't talking about reading music either.

Something like that, he claimed he grew up illiterate.

Corny hip-hop featuring aside Chocolate Factory was a great album, the unreleased Loveland is even better.
He has truly lost it, had all the potential to be one of the greats but he decided to be the next T-Pain/Akon. sad

R. Kelly is a marginal singer, a decent producer and a marginal songwriter whose greatest talent is imitating whatever is popular. It's amazing and sad he's been around as long as he has, considering he has nothing really to hang his hat on outside of being a supreme copycat. But I feel history will bear out his legacy, because despite all of his success most of his catalog is throwaway.

Yeah and right now he's slowly becoming known as the guy who created "Trapped in the Closet".

Very true. I'll give the guy credit for a few decent songs particularly on his self titled album; however for every 1 decent song he makes he will be sure to counter it with 10 crappy songs. He is only getting worse and i cannot for the life of me figure out why people of the 90's generation consider him to be the messiah of r&b. Like you mentioned, he basically capitalizes on current trends to keep his comical career going.

You got that half right.


God. I'm listening to this Real Talk nonsense.

Unbelievable.

This is music, right? This is art? Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Howard Hewitt, Smokey Robinson, and God Knows How Many Others are all losing sleep over this...

It makes singing about his jeep seem Grammy-worthy.

Profound.

Who remembers the remix to "Feelin on Yo Booty", where he's vocalizing the word "booty" at the end. Terrible. lol

R kelly is a genius. He is a damn fine producer. WAY better than the likes of Dr Dre, kanye west and all the other mediocre overrated talents. ALot of Kells work sounds amazing.

All geniuses are FUCKING MAD!

listen to showdown, when a women;s fed up, one more chance(mj), truth hurts(thruth hurts) a women's threat, the world's greatest, step in the name, contagious, heaven i need a hug and dozens more.

His best songs are truly brilliant. He lets himself down with the bullshit throwaway tracks; oh yeah and pissing on little girls.

cos i'm a flirt
How can you not like the bounce of that song? Ignition remix? come on man that's that shit!

Between 1993 and 2000, yes, but since "Chocolate Factory", he's gone downhill.
