This one?

Ngl some of Kelly’s lyrics do creep me tf out and I can’t enjoy them anymore

I remember on the N Luv Wit a Stripper Remix he said he wanted to put his whole head inside the girls p****.

Nah the caption was some derivative of "people who are desperate for attention be like.." and it was just some guy saying a bunch controversial stuff and then looking to see if anyone cares.

the remix one of my fav songs of all time

Yeah that was something that stood out to me too lol, giving the benefit of the doubt I feel like some people have a very broad spectrum for what they call "degenerate behavior"

Its really not. It's catchy at most

if its "just art" and the people behind it don't matter then you should just consume AI slop

s***offender type post

How did OP get 4 pages out of this milquetoast bullshit?

Edit: nvm simpletons arguing above, i understand now

If AI becomes advanced enough to make a TCD during my lifetime, I will be there

I remember sophomore year in college (like 2014) i was lead singer in a band and the (white) guitarist wanted us to do a cover of ignition.

Even back then I was like ehhh lyrics too cringy im not singing that s***

his music is not sexy it’s just about s***and there’s a big difference

Looking back at r kelly music, it’s great production but some of these lyrics you can tell were written FOR teenagers.

Bro his lyrics are awful dawg let’s keep a buck.

Hot take below if niggas wanna take it there

We can really start podding talk about R Kelly carrying R&B kinda contributed to some of its downfall (lack of subtlety in the lyrics)

@iamiguel

Lyrically I was never impressed by R.Kelly. They always read as very simple and not really complex. Innuendos weren't all that creative either. Now maybe this is a result of him being illiterate for much of his life like he's said, but yeah, when it came to Kelz he was never saying/singing anything earth-shattering.

All that being said, simple lyrics isn't always a bad thing if all you're trying to do is connect with the listener. Also I'm sure he made it easy to understand for the teenagers he wanted to get at

Ehh I think the revision to his legacy is warranted given the content of his music. It’s almost our duty as consumers since it’s out in the open to make sure we’re informed about the alleged inspiration that led to some of these songs. From there if you still wanna overlook his transgressions then it is what it is.

As a heavy RnB enthusiast, I’d still generally consider him the king of RnB.

Of course it is. And the man wrote Bump N Grind, Street Thing. Great artist, despicable monster

totally fair

Fortunate by Maxwell is easily the best thing that weirdo ever did

There was a petition to make this song the national anthem

rnb been dead since the mid 2010s

Easily. He has multiple songs in my top 10 songs any genre and probably my personal favorite recording artist ever tbh

Can't play it no more

We all know this but posting threads like this every few months here, Twitter, and reddit doesn't help it

Would love it if y'all relaxed so I can continue conveniently forget this is r Kelly whenever I hear it at clubs/bars

R. Kelly is one of the remix kings. One of my favorites of all-time.
