12700271, I don't think Kellz wrote that song anyway. It sounds like him though

As mentioned above, he did write "Fortunate" for Maxwell.
12700322, if we get rid of all the art done by awful ppl...

there won't be that much great art left.

no beatles.
no zeplin.
no marvin.
no james brown.
a lot of motown goes down the shitter.

I don't know how ppl can boycot art from bad ppl.
I mean, how much stuff can you even listen to?

i think its ok to have a distinction between that and a person who does bad things and also makes unrelated art

anyways i make the distinction, and apply it to him
12700415, meh. I Want You is a "sex art" about Janice

>woo woo woo wauw wooooooooo....

That's it. I still can't hit that at a high volume..not even in the shower. If I accidentally get it, I feel like the WB frog and shit...like I couldn't do it again if someone showed up and asked me to do it on command. I prolly couldn't get the beginning of Ascension either. Maybe I could the Unplugged version...
12700565, Clubbin' by Marques Houston feat Joe Budden still goes

Kells wrote it and did background vocals. That's two kid touchers and a woman beater.

12701478, I'm not with any boycotts. But I KEEP hearing creepy shit he says in songs
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Sat Jan-17-15 07:17 AM
Of course, many of us pointed out that he says little Aaliyah's got that vibe. And that he wrote "Age ain't nothin but a number" just to subconsciously brainwash into thinking that age doesn't mean shit.

Then I'm making my Slow Jams mix, and realize that the "Your body's calling remix" is amazing...but that he wrote it for Aaliyah to sing "are you horny? Do you want to eat it?" while she's damn 14-15.

Then I realize "Seems like you're ready" can surely have a predator type of undertone to it. At the end, he says "I coulda sworn you was ready!" as if he just found out she actually wasn't ready.

Then I realize that as much as we love singing along to the intro of "Bump and grind"....this nigga really says "my mind's telling me no...but my body...my body's telling me yes!" If that shit doesn't sound like him looking at a 14 year old, knowing he ain't supposed to.

Then I hear this new song where he says "And woah, if you don’t know I’ma teach ya
First semester in my bedroom, now I’m about to freak ya" knowing he ain't talking bout no grad student.
