23156, My opinion....
Posted by Quez, Fri Jun-23-00 05:26 AM
Ok now that i actually went and heard some of the tracks... and saw the video on this site, i do see the R. Kelly resemblance in the look and sound. However... this cat is an up and comer and you we dont know much about him. They attached Mos Def to Q-Tip, D'angelo to Prince, and Dru Hill to Jodeci.... and look at these acts now.

I did think it was R. Kelly singin that Seperated song, and I did thing it was Jodeci when i heard the first few Dru Hill joints but that doesnt make an artist "suck". Avant's shit sounds a lot better than a lot of the bubble gum R&B out there... probably thanks to the R. Kelly influence.

Deal wit it... the music aint bad IMO
But he may have to innovate just like the above mentioned artists to ever have an identity in this business.
