  • 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.

    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

    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

    tru

    Prince was way more innovative

  • Apr 10, 2020

    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
