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

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?

Also even if D'Angelo was included in this convo he really doesn't have enough content to compete with Kellz. He only had 1 album in the 90s

Just 1

That 1 album is stronger than all of kellz work
Then when you add voodoo and black messiah it’s not even fair

 

[BlackMajik]

And kelly came out before that
So why limit it to 20 years

Cuz its my thread

Well that's your opinion so u aren't wrong but

Naw

I'm including production and song writing for himself and others too

Sadly he’s prolly the last great singer/songwriter we will ever witness. And a lot of that is due to the fact that he made real soul music

Jacqueese

Lauryn Hill is the closest imo. Singing/Writing/Producing.

Kellz only has her beat in pure volume...But this topic is asking who's as gifted.

Didn't Lauryn allegedly steal a lot of her material for miseducation? How you gone put a stealer up there with the man who wrote "believe I can fly" and "you are not alone" ?
