there is an r. kelly post in GD.
somebody talked about how straightforward r. kelly's lyrics are.


but are they?
how much of r. kelly is tounge in cheek?

when r. kelly says "i like the crotch on you," and asks if he can "stick his key in her ignition,"is he taking a piss on r&b fans that forget that love and sex, at least when it's good, isn't always about "making love" as much as its about "fucking?"

is he showing off by proving he can turn any dumb phrase into a hit because he's a beast of a songwriter?

when he first made trapped in the closet,
did he intend for it to be funny?


and what do we make of his fan base?
when hipsters say that "trapped in the closet" is a work of genius, are they saying that the are making fun of r. kelly because he's being sincere?

or do they sincerely like r. kelly because he's being sincere?

or do they sincerely like r. kelly because they suspect he's being ironic?




do you think what r. kelly says should be taken at face value?
i can never tell when he's joking.


did i make this post already?
anyway.

Particularly the later chapters of TITC. I think he started the saga off with sincere intent but when he realized that the audience was laughing, he decided to laugh along with them and make it more and more over the top.

(god i hate these arguments, but here we are)

if r. kelly was white, i think people would be more likely to assume
that everything he sings shouldn't be taken at face value.

hell, maybe * i * wouldn't even be making this post
if r. kelly wasn't a black guy making r&b.

i know morrisey isn't completely serious.
i know mick jagger isn't completely serious.
if they made the songs r. kelly did, i'd know they were being ironic.
are we less likely to see irony when a black performer does it in r&b music?

i don't think anybody assumes robin thicke's blurred lines is 100 percent serious.
there are people writing essays deconstructing what that song means to say.
r. kelly's work isn't viewed that way.


i wonder why.





EDIT: maybe it's not a race thing at all. i know when the time is being ironic.
i know when stevie is being ironic. same with sly, and george clinton and prince.

maybe the difference is that r. kelly rarely winks at the camera the way the more obviously ironic artists do.

But there was an interview out there before Trapped dropped where R is serious as a heart attack when talking about it. And if you check the tone of the first one compared to those that came after it's pretty clear he shifted intent midstream.

It's not a diss to Arruh, either... if anything, he should be commended for having the flexibility to read the audience reaction and immediately tailor the material to meet their expectations. A lot of artists would not have been able to course-correct as nimbly as he did.

Pun intended.

When I really caught on to the fact that he doesn't take himself that serious is when he laughed at the end of Feelin' On Ya Booty. It was like this menacing, devious laugh, like, I'm ACTUALLY gonna get a hit with this one.

And, when you look at some of the more straight line songs that he's penned for other artists, you know he has range and knows when to tone it down.

Now if he was the kind of cat trying to sell Feelin' On Ya Booty to MJ or Celine Dion, then I'd say he's capable of ACTUALLY believing in the dumbed down stuff he writes.

But, I think he's just a great business man and knows that the lowest common denominator wants something slightly provocative with a catchy hook. Package it up, and let's count these millions.

Por ejemplo, his Love Letter album was one of the best examples of modern soul I've heard in a LONG ASS TIME. But, it had no ignorant singles, so, it struggled to sell.

Either way, I think he's comfortable selling to an older audience and just getting that ridic tour money.

In the end, the man's a beast. He had entire albums go unreleased because they got leaked (although, technically, Loveland did make it to the bonus cd of Chocolate Factory) that were better than other dude's retail album.

Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.

at least in part.
although like r. kelly, he never breaks character.

which may explain why he rides for the r&b thug the way he does.
maybe he "gets it" and projected it into that screenname to get the clicks/ hits.

of course, mistermaxxx would never admit this.

the Man is versatile and it all comes so easy because his mind is in tune to all types of life period.

he funny and rough, he cries and laughs at things.

he talks how a real street Brother talks.

when he started a beautiful love ballad with the phrase said, "shut up. i don't want to hear you say that again," i laughed.
was he laughing, too?


when he followed that up with a pointed, "look at me," i couldn't tell
whether that was a sign of affection or a threat or maybe both.



i love that song because it captures a real emotion.
but it was also really funny and i crack up whenever i hear it.
did r. kelly want the audience to think it was funny?




>he funny and rough, he cries and laughs at things.
>
>he talks how a real street Brother talks.

and what about calling himself "the pied piper of r&b?
is that a startling lack of self awareness? or a confession? or performance art?

is he joking?

you make her laugh and cry at the same time by what you say.

you can be funny and also madd at the same time.



what he does is perfectly normal in songs and how it translates.

its no different than what Richard Pryor did when you think about it.

he gave you all those kind emotions and we embraced it.

so much of the experience of being black in america is tied to meaning every word you DON'T say that the statement that r. kelly talks like a dude from the hood might make it MORE likely that some of his material is a put-on.

in the Hood he represents alot of the truth, just like Tyler Perry films strike the same chord.

its real.

accept Little Richard was an innovator.

R.Kelly is a clown

Little Richard camps it up acting like a gay southern belle.

R.Kelly camps it up acting like an 46 yr old "At Risk" illiterate "b"lack male (which he actually is).

Little Richard was better.

R.Kelly is a poor derivative watered down kool-aid of Aaron Hall who swagger jacked Charlie Wilson who swagger jacked Stevie.

your argument is as weak as that corny D'mumblo thread playa and that got holes in it, like your brain turkey.

ARRUH still got folks checking his music out and his new music still hits.

Tutti Fruity is a money classic, however it ain't like anybody sweated Little Richard after a certain time.

Little RIchard would put a Cape on to get a chapter in "trapped in the Closet.

Aaron Hall? turkey please you still stuck watching Juice or something?

Teddy Riley hangs with the ARRUH. Aaron Hall choked worse than Mumblo and maybe they are kindred spirits of blowing a sure thing huh?

Aaron Hall stuck in a time warp and barely a footnote.


turkey whats the problem? Bump and grind remix came on at the club and you were left holding the wall or something?

Yo Blak...u my man and all...But slow down...lol

I recognize that some folks on this board go too far...It's easy to spit that poison back at Maxx because most of the time he deserves that side-eye....I get it...That nigga GONE....

But Rick, crack pipe and all, could hang with D anytime, anyplace....Now if we are talking about a certain Midget, then that's a different story....but in his prime Rick was a bad man...He just got consumed by that white and his Prince obsession...But I will never front on the man's output...Dude kept the lights on at Motown....

As for Kelly...We all know he goes the lazy route at times...And he's made some silly musical choices...But Kells does the one thing that D has yet to master: Deliver....

There have been a lot of musical acts, black and white, that have been consumed by their demons whether its drugs, fear, or mental issues...But yet they find a way to express themselves, whether they are a hit or not...

D is ridiculously talented...Child church prodigy and all...And I will take him "live" over Kells for the most part (I've seen both live...)...

But Kells has put in the work beyond what you, me and other critics think of the man...D needs to do a lot more to be in any serious musical discussion when it comes to the vets....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

>But Rick, crack pipe and all, could hang with D anytime,
>anyplace....

Rick could hang with D?

No, D is the one is yet to earn the cred (or show the chops) to hang with Rick.

I know you didn't mean anything by it, of course... just a slip of careless phrasing.

You are right about this cat going too far, of course. Obviously s.blak is so anus-pained that maxxx served him in that other post that he came to dumb out in this post in some sort of puerile revenge tantrum.

I don't think it's a tantrum...i just think Blak, like a lot of other people are tired of Maxx's bully-or-bust way of debating music...

It's all reactionary....All said, Blak went off the reservation on this...But its obvious, at least in this post, that Blak is also throwing it back in Maxx's face....

Maxx on the other hand is serious...lol

But most of these dorks ain't even talking about a "Pass The Joint"...they lather'd up over "Fire & Desire". I'll take The O'Jays anyday over that and Ebony Eyes.

So...that's 3 Rick Classics I've already removed from the argument.

Mind you...I'm just deconstructing Rick.

I'm not making a case for D'angelo other than if them niggas walked in a room and had to rock a setlist RIGHT THERE...D'angelo would blow his Milli Vanilli wig off of his "did too much acid with CSN&Y" head...just like Prince did. That's all.

17, Cold Blooded, Bustin' Out...No problem.

But niggas start talking about "Loosey's Rap", nigga GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.

And R.Kelly? In my view he got 2-3 songs worthy of mention.

IDC...who's on board or not. He's the same thing to me if Guy made 12 albums...I'm still only talking about the 1st one...that's it.

Keith Lamar Murphy gives Rick the credit he deserves....A STILL underrated singer, songwriter and producer who proved to be the bridge between P-Funk and Prince...

All I'm saying about Kells is dude has put in the work no matter what u think of him or his music...

The live angle, again, can and should be discussed....In concert D cleans Kells clock (that has more to do with Kells' laziness...I've seen the man actually get on piano and put on a stellar show....And Kells live voice is BIG...But as long as dude is singing to tapes and has a fake band, D will get that nod...)

BUT in the big scheme of things (overall output) D needs to show and prove more to even be in the game with Kells, ect...

But that said, I'm a D fan and pulling for dude to do his thing...I think when that album finally drops dude will be at peace...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

He has written and released at least 20 fully-realized songs with intelligible lyrics, recognizable musical and lyrical hooks that have stood the test of time.

You can find much recorded documentation of him throwing down live playing HIS OWN ORIGINAL MATERIAL.

He has his own style; you can see him commanding the stage ON HIS OWN without blatantly copping moves from those who came before him.

that first time album was cool, however prince didn't hit his peak until 1982 fool.

rick from 78-81 was running thangs fool.

d'aneglo ain't even got an ep worthy of tracks. that turkey better be lucky he ain't a rapper or kendrick lamar might cut that track the super never was, who pulled a casper.

that turkey ain't putting nothing out except hype

Did Rick have a respectable run w/ a string of hits? Sure

Was Rick swagger jacking & watering down P-Funk? Yep.

Was Rick biting KISS's formula to connect with the lowest of lowest common denominator fans of theatrical excess? Of course.

Was Rick biting Eddie Levert's vocals when he wasn't trying to sound like "George Collins"? Why yes he was.

Did Rick admit to ALL OF THIS in his lil' raggedy bio? Sure did

Rick was cross-eyed that lil' Princey couldn't even buy booze and was running his ass out the studio by hisself...but by the time he found his stage legs AND stole his coke queen...Rick wasn't nothing but ANGRY.

Just like you're angry at D'angelo for having SHEER TALENT.

So he's choked on releasing his 3rd album for a decade plus. It'll come out.

When it does come out, you will get SUPER PETTY looking for things to schitt on...but you know your dumb ass will be listening on DAY ONE, bitch.

And you also know that more effort and soul power will go into it than them perverted happy meals and other theme'd albums your boy R. "Chester the Molester" Kelly farts out into your grateful dumb face.

on right when Rick tore that turkey up.

Prince was a watered down everybody because he stayed jacking cats lets and right.

funny when Prince tried to be Big band like Rick James he came off like a Lounge act and stayed getting gigs at the local Steak and Ale.

turkey you in denial because Clive Davis will tell you that Rick James was one of the four cornerstones of Black Pop back in the 80's and it was on his own terms.

Yeah Rick James had a Hybrid thing which worked like a Champ as if Prince didn't do the same thing?

Prince didn't hit hard until 1999" and that song jacks the melody from the Mamas and the papas Monday,Monday how Original is that?

and nobody outside of D'angelo's fan club which might pack a Coscto parking lot, cares about some never was,Unsung drum stick head jive turkey who joked before he truly started.

R.kelly is unstoppable Fool, he got hits in all eras and still keeps on going.

you are.

Q: What's going on with D'angelo? His band is jumping ship?

Nowhere does that question ask for your constant personal opinion on the guy, or ANY bullschitt viciousness.

Fuck OFF Nigga

There's no inquiry about R.Kelly or Rick James or Prince.

This is what you bring to the board.

You derail schitt...make it about you...move the goal post all over the place...then sit back and want to point at people being mad.

You are a pathetic piece of schitt.

Question one: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? There was a reason, bitch.
That fool is just as crazy as you rolling in with the, "I wish him no ill, but he's gonna have to die for us to get new music."

This sort of thing is perpetuated by people like you.

Nobody is saying that about Sade or Dr. Dre or Guns N Roses...

But in the absence of D'angelo...all we've had around here is you trying to silence any and every conversation about dude with YOUR PREFERENCES.

So sit your "dogwhistle" George Zimmerman "Who Talking About D'Angelo" Ass Down.

>My opinion on D was really an ancillary issue that is, of
>course, already well known.

"I'm not gonna kick a dude when he's down, but I'm not gonna pretend being a junkie is in any way heroic or romantic." - AFKAP

Who said he was a "junkie"?

Let's look at what you really said:

I'm not gonna kick dude when he's down...in a post asking what's going on, but I will speculate as if I knew what the fuck I was talking about that D'angelo is indeed a "junkie". I know that I'm a jealous insecure baby dicked bitch that wants to spread my distaste for D'angelo and his music to as many people who like me may have enjoyed him at one time. - What AFKAP meant

See...you like to exaggerate and flat out lie in your lame ass doublespeak, classic rabble rousing. Kudos to you fag face...but it's annoying for those of us who do read and don't skim...also the main reason I avoid you like the plague.
