This is a serious thread and the two are actually closer in sales and such than you think.
Who do you think is a better songwriter and musician?
To me prince is a way better musician but rahbert Kelly is a better song writer
Prince started many things including that Minnesota funk sound that eventually birthed new jack swing and not to mention his impact on rock music and he wrote a lot of hits and helped get Morris day and the time started (who Bruno Mars copies from)
R kelly on the other hand has penned a lot of classics for other artist and himself and basically has birthed all of these half talking/half singing over rap beats r&b singers and rap crooners of today.
ehmm what about no? What about deleting this thread? What about not comparing Prince to f***ing R.Kelly of all people?
R.kelly extremly talented but c'mon it's Prince. Had the better albums and performances
look, on a purely music lvl, prince is better, but not by some massive margin. R Kelly is a creep, but he's also a talented dude.
Mfs itt can't separate the art from the artist

It's pretty massive on a creativity level
prince and its not even remotely close and its not up for discussion
As a musician I agree prince was better but r kelly is clearly a better song writer.
He wrote songs for mj, usher, Toni Braxton, Celine Deion, Whitney Houston..not to even include his own classics
R Kelly's albums are very inconsistent, he was always more of a singles artist to me
Prince was undoubtedly untouchable in the 1980's

Prince wrote hits for other artists too tho
