Not really a secret to those who know about R. Kelly. He got into music due to a teacher at school who took the time to notice he was having trouble with his grades. R is a musical prodigy with demons in his closet.

This has been known for years

also you cats have to realize - in the music business you don't have to actually "write" down lyrics like on a sheet of paper.

if you go in a booth, record a demo, then release it so another artist can sing it - you get the "writing" credits.

You ever see DMX's interview on how it was being in the studio with R?

I would believe he was illiterate based on that...

:patrice:...so he can't read music either then? How does he remember scales and notes and all the other shyt?...so he doesn't know how to spell his own name either? Having a hard time believing it...could be true tho...u never know:manny:
Cac Logic.

You play music. You perform music. You sing, rap, shout, yodel music. Then you listen.

Nothing has to be written. You can know what things are and how things are meant to sound without knowing how to write it.

Michael Jackson didn’t sit down and write the lyrics to Beat It or Billie Jean nor did he sit and write the basic arrangement. He beatboxed and hummed the skeletal beat to Beat It and wrote 90% of the lyrics in his head and mumbled the rest.

That’s genius. Technical proficiency at music can be taught. That Michael Jackson, that James Brown, that R Kelly, that Kanye West. That’s genius. Don’t need formal education or skills for that

I call bullshyt on this. Dude admittedly can’t read or write at an age appropriate level, but how you gonna be a songwriter and be completely illiterate? shyt fails the common sense test.
