If R Kelly cant read...

[Homey the clown]

Then how the hell did he write and produce so many songs for so himself and so many other people. It's obvious he can read and write.And why did Wendy Williams bring this up in 2018, when this was already revealed way back in 2009.

You don't need to be able to read to make music...


And when an artist gets a song from someone else...they get a reference track...

And come on breh...

These producers ain't writing sheet music...

Why did Hannibal Buress bring up the Bill Cosby shyt

 

[Homey the clown]

Come on brehs I'm talking about the man writing lyrics, if he couldn't read he wouldn't be able to write the lyrics to all those songs he wrote. Besides Wikipedia there are other websites that show a list of songs he has written. I'm saying he might not be the best reader but he probably has at least an elementary reading level.And about the Wendy Williams thing comparing it to that Hanibal guy. The media likes to bring up stuff that happened in the past just in case people forgot about it or they where too young know about it.

 

[Tiffrock]

I heard he freestyles on the mic on his songs so he doesn't write anything down

For other artists, he could dictate the lyrics-

There are artists who aren't musically trained (can read music) who can play music i.e. Prince, Barry White,etc. They play by ear .

 

[Henri Christophe]

Some of the best songwriters don't actually sit down with a pen and paper and write lyrics

They freestyle Melodies and harmonies and come back and add the words later

 

[Doobie Doo]

Read in the name of love, brehs

 

[TransJenner]

I’d assume R Kelly just sings and doesnt write anything down

 

[InfinateOpulance]

His teenage girlfriends in junior high and high school always helped him with reading and writing.

 

[Max Headroom]

If he doesn't write anything down that makes him even more of a GOAT imo

You can easily write a song in your mind, make a reference track and sell the song.

 

[Payroll]

That would imply that he did the entirety of trapped in the closet off top

 

[TEH]

R Kelly is the ultimate slimy greasy non reading ignorant mother fukker


But those songs

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

I think nikkas confusing not being able to read and wrie music with being illiterate

He's not the latter

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

James Brown couldn't read music yet created great tracks.
