Excuse me? rolleyes...wink


Your "Down with RK" membership card was suspended when you played him off as a nice enough modern novelty but unable to hang with the past classics. I'm sorry... neutral


And I still think he couldn't f-ck with Isly Bros ol'stuff(I'm talking about the WHOLE crew not only Ron) ya know? Thats a fact and nobody can change it. But ain't no question that my brotha is the baddest cat nowadays and he took the modern RnB 2 another level when he stepped up! alot of producers/male vocalist rip him off without even thinking about giving him the credit 4 his work(Producers-Gerald Isaac & Steve Huff)(Artists-Avant, Jagged Edge, Tank and etc etc).

R.Kelly is bad enough not let MJ hang around him lol he always spoke about whats going in our lives(esp in the urban community no matta how stereotypical it may sound). I have no chance but to give my brotha the love & props that he deserves 4 that cuz I 4 one relate alot to his words and that my friend is the same reason why I'm also craving Mary J Blige/Lauryn Hill's music.

But then again no matta how HARD I love somebody, I'm not afraid to speak my mind about their work, you feel me? I'm a fan not a groupie wink (and please don't eva think that I'm saying you're one).


I was half teasing of course but you never gave R a chance to elevate when you said "He could never write a song as well as The Isleys ever." The cold hard truth is if Ronald Isley (Because let's be honest there is no Isley BROTHERS now) could write better songs he would. He himself calls R the greatest of all times, according to Maxxx...


Like I said, I love me some Robert Kelly! he sure know how to pay a good tribute 2 the motown/70's soul-RnB/Chicago music but the brotha neva touched me the way The Islys did.

As 4 the other thangs? Yes, its true! he gave them their biggest breakthroughs and what not but then again, if you're talking about image, sales, #.1 records then I'm the wrong person 2 talk with becoz I know nothing about these stuff and I'm not intersted at them at all.


It's all about the music baby, Mr Biggs and his pimpish image is just comedy. smile

Singer/Songwriter TQ is set to release his debut album from Cash
Money/Universal Records, entitled Gemini, on July 15th. The first
single, "Keep It On The Low" was written and produced by R.Kelly and
is an up-tempo dance track that balances TQ's rich vocals with Baby's
trademark southern drawl.

from eurweb.com



TQ is still around? he had one song i remember called westside... damn i thought he was just "semi one hit" wonder


He should of been, for some reason I have both his albums and his lyrics never rise above R. Kelly's worst and he also lacks the artistry of course.

He had Westside on first album and "Daily" (Biz Markie cover) on his second, since then he did a duet with some German pop star, which was a hit here last year or so.
yeah TQ is still around.I think Cash Money sees Usher Poetential there&that is the only reason why they still mess with His Sorry Self.but TQ is more closer to Ray J. than Usher IMHO meaning 49 cent bin than 99 cent bin.

the words&Music had a cleaver Storyline going there&when you put Da King R.Kelly with the Kings of Family Funk&Soul the Isley brothers you get Wins all around the horn.

wow surprising hes sucessful in europe...,
and wasnt he the one who did some sorta prince diss in one of his songs?


Oh yeah, that was on his second album, saying if any man wore high heeled shoes in his hood they'd get smacked down. His lyrics rarely get above such intelligent insight...
i got a B-Side cut that TQ did with DJ Quik,Suga Free&Quik's Posse back in 98 it was cool.gotta dig it up.He ain't got no track record to be dissing Nobody.

Ignition (Remix) now heading for week #3 at the top spot, comfortably holding off Justin Timberlake's "Rock With Me". The fickle UK public have even caught on and put Chocolate Factory album into the top 10 on LP chart now...
