Is there an R&B artist that has come out in the last 20 (35) years that is more gifted than R. Kelly???

[SNG]

If we were to breakdown the R&B males of all time Kellz would definately be in the top 10.

We can go past 20 years and say "all time".

The only ppl he is in competition with are Prince, Stevie, James Brown, Bob, Sam Cooke and maybe Babyface.

We talking about singing, writing and producing HITS for himself and others.

I was bout to name some more random nikkas like Justin Timberlake why you leaving?

 

[Phillyrider807]

From a pure musical standpoint Lord Breezus. But that's where it stops. Weeknd is close though.

If we talking the whole package(Producing/Writing/Singing) then no one.

maybe Babyface?

Only reason i have his as a maybe is because he had help. La Reid and the person that no one ever discusses is Darryl Simmons. Thats his secret weapon. Plus if u include Babyface you damn near gotta put in Jam and Lewis and Curtis Mayfield. Curtis, Jam&Lewis and Face were all GOATS but they were all part of groups. Stevie, Prince, James and Kellz were solo for all or most of their career.
