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

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Biggest juelzing for their favourites, they just wont let kells enjoy that title ever since they put them cases on him


Breezy damn near has it all though . Even r. Kelly crowned him as the new King in a 2010 interview on Youtube

Man I wish Kellz gave MJ a steppers track. shyt would have been fuego for the BBQ and wedding reception crowd.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I know we supposed to hate R Kelly now but ain’t nobody touching that man at all. I mean Ne-Yo cool, The Dream cool anc ain’t nothing wrong with being cool. Kashief and Chuckii Booker were cool as well... they’re good songwriters but people ain’t putting them two on the goat list. R. Kelly started getting stupid with the songs later in his career but that man has some undeniable classics.. This is why people are having trouble letting his music go. Dude is unfukkwithable in this music game.

R-kelly groupies are brainwashed. Probably messaging from in one of his dungeons. Best hide that shyt before daddy Kellz comes home.

So answer the title fam? Who would be more talented? Only name you could argue so far realistically mentioned in the thread is Babyface.

Babyface is the reason alot of people have a career but he said 20 years...

Ne Yo

D Angelo

Eric Roberson

Yeah Baby Face is a solid answer. He extended it to 35 too btw.

Ok let's extend this to 35 years then lol

Kells is the best R&B artist of the last 30 years and its not close. Man has an endless number of hits and has written and/or produced a shyt ton of hits.

And whats crazy is, most of his songs still sound good. I put TP-2 on at least 4 times a year.

 

[Phillyrider807]

People cant even name me artists that R Kelly helped blow up. He wrote for artists who were already well established. Son never had a movie soundtrack to control.

Huh? Kells had a direct impact on damn near everyone on the millennial tour. Like what are u talking about?

 

[Goon for hire]

D’angelo and maxwell> r Kelly.

Yes r Kelly has a bigger catalogue than both, but I am taking quality over quantity every time.

R Kelly damn sure doesn’t have an album near the quality of brown sugar or voodoo.

Nor does he have an album the quality of urban hang suite or blacksummers’night.

He's written for Maxwell

ON a personal level
D'Angelo>>>>>R.Kelly

But work ethic wise Kellz shyts on D'Angelo as a artist, producer, songwriter everything. Consistency plays a major part in this.

I respect an artist patience
D’angelo May only give you an album every 5-10 years but best believe every song will be a gem
Compared to kellz who got straight up corny records like “Homie lover friend”, “I like the crotch on you” etc etc

Have u ever heard the "Homie, Lover, Friend" remix?




That shyt is great so

That’s not the album version where he was rapping

 

[Noriega]

No one is even close..I guess you can give some honorable mentions to a couple people Neyo, D’Angelo, etc

R. & Tp2 alone puts Kellz leaps and bounds ahead of anyone. He wrote and produced TP2 himself, only feature was Boo & Gotti

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

I know u not throwing Beyonce's name into the ring

1st off she came out in like 97 as apart of Destiny's Child
2ndly does she write and produce her own and other artists' music?

Y’all better show Killa bey some respect

And to answer the question, no one. Rkelly has the perfect combination of vocal talent+song writing+producing.
