He never said "Wrangler Jeep" in that song.

But it still fits in the ridiculous songs of the 90s category.

That Mambo 5 song

No

His 90's work is good.

Yeah, I greatly enjoyed me some R. Kelly back in the day...until he took off the shades and I was like (he sings like he's handsome; trying to fool people like Jodeci with those dark ass shades) ; then he married underaged Aaliyah and I started to worry about him; and then he started peeing on 14 year olds and did this ridiculous shit to his head:

Yeah, I greatly enjoyed me some R. Kelly back in the day...

Hanson -'MMMBop' - WTF? I still don't know what half of those lyrics are talking about and I still don't get the 'greatness' that was Hanson.

Eiffel 65 - 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' - Seriously, WTF?

Paula Abdul - 'Will You Marry Me?' - But she got to host 'American Idol'? What were Tiffany and Deborah Gibson busy? This is what too much money and spare time will do to a person.

CRASH TEST DUMMIES - 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm' - Uh, yeah. And there I was studying hard to get into vet school when I could have just wrote down some assinine shit and sold it to some record company and probably made a mint. What the hell was I thinking?

estelle81 said:

WTF are you rambling on about?

R. Kelly isn't bad looking and I don't see how his personal issues correlate with his music. Go have a seat.

estelle81 said:

That's what they all say.....

He had some hot songs. You never dug the R?

^^^ I'm with Estelle on this one 100%. The dude will forever be a punch line.

trueiopian said:

He's not good looking either. Has his music really been all that relevant since the personal issues happened? The guy has been spoofed on South Park and Chappelle show and been the butt of jokes so unfortunately his personal issues definitely aren't helping him. Hey, I'll forever praise the man for writing 'Fortunate'. Fantastic song.

Another R. Kelly appreciation thread. DEAD @ "Number 1" creating more buzz than "Not My Hit Tonight". I'd be mad too

Lies. He's not bad looking.

Yes! The same year he was charged for child pornography his album sold over 600K first week and eventually sold over 3 million in the states alone. After the whole Aaliyah thing he was still selling consistently and charting very well. So you were saying? Dave Chappelle even said he purchased his Chocolate Factory album and that he's talented. The South Park episode was about his whole Trapped in the Closet series which he found funny too so he's obviously not bothered

Ugh! I love that South Park episode its up there with the one of MJ going on a plane to hell

Its proof that he's an icon in pop culture, y'all

R. Kelly has always had a very loyal fanbase. Women used to get into fights over this man, so many of them weren't going to turn their backs on him no matter what he did. Wish the same love had been given to Michael when all his personal woes started to overshadow his talent. And we'll have to agree to disagree on his looks.

Lets not forget that classic Boondocks episode

His loyal fan base doesn't only consist of females

10. Breakfast at Tiffanys - Deep Blue Something 1996?
God this was annoying, a one hit wonder and played to death on AOR and MOR stations, it wasn't even very good as middle of the road adult contemporary crap.
