Ignition (Remix) is set to hold on to the #1 spot for a second week. First week he thwarted the terrible Big Brovaz and now this week he's relegating Girls Aloud, the big hyped Pop Puppet winners to #2.

R. Kelly flipping the usual script...

Essence said:

SHO NUff For DA KANG!!!

Essence said:

it seems to be the case with all way folks be tripping on our Championing of His Music.Props to Marrk.

R Kelly ist ein Pervert, der zu einem schnellen Tod und zu keiner Bestätigung verdient!

It means that R. Kelly is a pervert and likes to have sex with and pee on little girls.

At least the first part means he's a pervert.

The second part is just me talking.

Excuse me? ...

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...

Essence said:

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 (and please don't eva think that I'm saying you're one).

Harlepolis said:

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...

On UK Teletext today it says Enrique Ingelsias is eager to work with RK now "Ignition (Remix) is UK #1.

Essence said:

Ask DerFurher.

Essence said:

Ronald Isley didn't Bite His Tongue.ROnald Isley is a True Musical Historian&Knows His stuff.you can't Ronald Isley hasn't seen&Heard Everything that has been Pop Music since it first came into Main view in the 50's.Ronald Knew Jackie Wilson,Sam Cooke,Stevie Wonder,Marvin Gaye,Berry Gordy,etc..&He said that R.Kelly has that Certain "It" over them.for me personally if Ronald Isley says it than I gotta Believe Him because not many people can Claim the Kind of Musical History Importance as Ron&His Brothers have had.like I said Before the Beatles to Biggie have Covered there work.30 Years Plus plus being Covered speaks volumes.

Marrk said:

thanks Man.MJ was Bumping in the BackSeat Sho Nuff to the Jam.

Essence said:

Preach on Brother.I think Angela Winbush is a Great Talent but She didn't Fully Flip the Script on the Isley Brothers in the Modern Era like R.Kelly&that is a Fact.what R.Kelly has done for them is Amazing.

RK in live AOL session: http://demand1.stream.aol...eart_nb.rm

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.

Essence said:

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

Christopher said:

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.

Essence said:

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

Christopher said:

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...

Essence said:

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.
