Is There a Void In R&B Since R. Kelly’s Fall?

Spoiler

 

[Wiseborn]

Yes but the music and culture changed and that would’ve happened had Kellz went to jail or not.

 

[cheek100]

Yep

 

[tuckgod]

Yeah he wrote and produced everything in the 90s and 00s

 

[Plankton]

There was a void way before he went to prison.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Unfortunately, the game ended with him. Silk Sonic had a good but quick run though.

Exactly. Kellz had already fallen off himself years before the doc dropped. R&B had been fukked up (on a mainstream level) for years prior as well.

His greatest hits album came on during my gym work out. When “She’s Got That Vibe” starting playing

Yeah, I’m not cancelling him.

You think so? The block got hot for him.

Last hit I remember by him was “same girl” or “imma flirt” I don’t remember hearing much from him since… except that passport song lol

Usher’s confessions was top tier but that’s still over 20 years ago now…

It happens to everybody. You dont stay hot forever. Even MJ and Prince had drop offs. nikka transitioned to making 60s style records to appeal to the older demographic because thats where he was...musically that is.

There’s a void becuz we should be in Kellz flower giving season right now. A true R&B legend got cancelled. He should be getting the lifetime achievement awards and classics being played all over 30 and up radio

 

[Chris Cool]

He ain't been relevant in 20 years.
