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

[Ashtrey]

No one fukking with Kellz' 12 Play to Chocolate Factory run.

 

[Mr. Glass]

The honest and true answer: No.

 

[Take It In Blood]

Kels is the GOAT


Mike is the GOAT


The Beatles can't sing


Accept it and move on

 

[Ol’Otis]

I like D'Angelo but i'm just waiting for his stans to start claiming he's on the same tier as Babyface

This is starting to get a lil ridiculous. D really wasn't pushing out hits like hot cakes

And people forget how influential Devante was

artistically D is up there
but hits wise hell naw

he only has 2 number 1 albums
i think kells has 6 or 10 i lost count

 

[KingJay]

His work ethic was mediocre and i don't think he wrote hits for other people like Kellz or Babyface

Work ethic has nothing to do with talent, and D'Angelo wasn't a hit maker in the first place. Just not even the type of music he tried to make. #1s don't mean nothin

Also have to consider how meticulous D'Aangelo is

 

[thekingsmen]

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.

D'Angelo

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO get da fukk outta here

He's basically directly responsible for B2K's run and Aaliyah's career.

And though you may say they were already established, Kellz practically reintroduced The Isley Brothers and Charlie Wilson to mainstream audiences.

"Charlie, Last Name Wilson" is one of the GOAT R&B songs of the 2000s.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO get da fukk outta here

brainwashed ..

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

and doesn't put out 20 versions of the same song talking about midgets in closets, so he has a mediocre work ethic.

I’m dead

 

[Donald J Trump]

So R Kelly can dance like CB

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Are hits really that important tho in the convo

If we talking strictly talent and skill, hits don’t really hold much weight

B2k wasnt a huge hit group. Aaliyah didnt get real big until Timberland. Charlie and Isley were already established.

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

I'm NEVER stopping playing Kellz and MJ music. EVER.
