R.Kelly really did swagger jack the shyt outta Guy/Aaron Hall.....Hindsight 20/20

[@OffHalsted]

That style didn't belong to Aaron himself thats whats hilarious
Donny Hathaway -Stevie Wonder - Charlie Wilson - Aaron Hall - R. Kelly



Also it was early 90s everybody had baldies

every artist will copy older artists who heavily influenced them at first, then they find their new identity and their new sound. Its always been like that.

rolling stones swagger-jacked muddy waters, howlin wolf, bb king
same thing for eric clapton
snoop dogg swagger jacked george clinton, bootsy coolins, and the 70s funk movement
drake swagger jacked Kanye's 808 and heartbreak drums/sound
future swagger-jacked lil wayne
nas swagger jacked rakim

That was the new jack swing era. Everyone had that sound.

Wasn't Teddy Riley and Keith Sweat the first to make that style popular?

It's not the sound that is the issue. A lot of R&B records had that new jack swing sound. R Kelly took off really with his own sound on 12 play though.

The issue is, the look. He took aaron hall whole brand from that perspective. Glasses, leather vest and pants, the cane, bald head, man it got no more than copy cat than that smh

yeah, this is no secret about Aaron, but R. has done some foul shyt in the past and wants people to feel sorry for him with that damn 20 minute song. he didnt mention how he basically had Joe's career on hold for years because he had Jive by the balls.

 

[Nintendough]

nikka did you just wake up from a coma? This has been common knowledge.

Prince did the same to Rick James.

More like I've been in denial as an R.Kelly Stan.


Prince didn't jack shyt from Rick James.

Nah breh when he dropped he still had the fade. But he sounded JUST LIKE Aaron Hall. Looking back now they really don’t sound all that much a like but back in 91 they did

Man Donny Hathaway is my all time favourite male vocalist
Definitely in my personal top 3 of all time



Since this is the swagga jacking thread now, who jacked Smokey Robinsons style in your opinion?

Glad someone has a braincell in here. Emulation is one thing... Kells literally 3D printed himself into Aaron Hall

Teddy Riley fathered new jack, he literally invented the sonic style.
