Kelly got some issues man. It's sad though because he is very talented. Not many artists can hit the age of 40 and stay relevant because older people don't buy records. If R Kelly doesn't do time, he should focus on producing new young talent and other business ventures like Diddy, Jay Z and the rest of them. I wish Kell's luck though, I have been a fan for years but anything can get old after a while.

lol @ older people dont buy records. thats funny. they say younger people only download, ie dont buy records. i think older people do buy b/c they actually have money.

LOL

i am right.

seriously, kelly has stayed relevant by changing at every stage of his career. there are somethings that never change tho... ;)

Wow, I'm really trying to understand why allhiphop.com hates R.Kelly so much. I completely understand what he did to that one girl was wrong because she was young. I seen the tape and the other two girls looked over 18 years old so I don't know about that. However, how can you guys promote people who claim to have murdered or shot people and say nothing about them but go on dissing R.Kelly for years? So you can big-up rappers who sold drugs and destroyed families or who don't take care of their kids but you can go on dissing R.Kelly because it's an easy target. I understand what he did is wrong but I think you guys are going a little to hard on this one.

This dude is really talented and I support his music whenever I get a chance. He is not going to jail people. If the system wants to put a Black man away, it will do so in a quick manner. If he touched some 17 year old girls he would DEFINITELY be in jail...but he didn't.

AHH doesnt hate R.Kelly - lets be CLEAR.
I hate R.Kelly.

LOL

NAH SERIOUSLY, I HATE R.KELLY.
I'm kidding. i dont hate. he is a habitual predator of young girls. if you dont thinks so i will give you a link of ALLEGED BEHAVIOR PATTERNS
Jim DeRogatis a reporter from the Chicago sun time and he's been writing about this case and the charges for about 10 years straight. if you have a sense of history and perspective you know this isnt about 1 girl, one person, but many years of info and charges....

as for a black man and this and that...money trumps a lot. kellz is doing albums at a fever pitch to pay these legal bills. you best believe it. he might beat it, but you dont get arrested in 02 and not see trial til 08-09 without a lotta good lawyers and a lotta cake.

step ya bars up.

didnt anybody see great debaters? come on!

@Token

This man has some serious issues...now i like is music, but personally , this ninja is all messed up..i mean c;mon, look at it..dude like 40 right? and baby girl only 19..one would have to draw a conclusion that with this pervert was like 33 and she was 12, he was probably thinking bout getting at her then or thinking "damn i can't wait til she legal"...somebody need to beat this ninja ass. i mean, check it..if r kelly is convicted and do time, they better put this perveted mufucka in protective custody. if not, he gonna be slow dancing, bumpin and gridin, givin up vibes, showing honey luv, not sayin no tonight, and being a summer bunny to all them 6'3 250 pound inmates

@holla221 - how is anybody going hard at him, hes had sexual relationships with numerous underaged females, and has a track record for doing so I know you remember aaliyah. now they talkin bout he slept (in the midst of the pornography trial situation) with george & regina daniels ( his close friends of many years) daughter. she's 19 now & there just getting wind of what transpired its no tellin how long that's been going on. that nigga is super talented, nobody can take that away from him but morally he is lacking. then ole girl in the tape she what proly 21 now but at the time of the inceident she was how old? maybe once you slipped up....... that's a big maybe but he keeps doing it. by law 18 is legal but that shit still isn't cool.the law says a lot of shit is okay to do that doesn't mean it is. what if that was your daughter niece sister cousin. I know its proly a lot of grown ass men that condone messing with underaged or barely legal teen girls but that shit is not cool. you brought up rap music & its lyrical content, your comparing what this man is doing/done in real life to for the most part fictitious tales & figments a mufuckers imagination in & attempt to generate a profit. music should be viewed as entertainment ...... in the same light as a violent movie with profanity. I agree both are damaging but two wrongs don't make a right. Im not here to judge that man but Im not bout to pretend like all these accusations are being presented soley to assinate his character. @token - I don't believe that he didn't do what there saying he did since they do have a tape of him doing it at his house but it is looking like hes not going to go.

one more thing them I'm finished lol. r.kelly the self proclaimed "pied piper of r&b" (on a side note the pied piper is legend about a mufucker who abducted a bunch kids from the town of hamelin using his musical talents to lure them, now how suspect is that?) anyway your telling me a multi million dollar platinum selling superstar can't find some adult females to do adult things with? this nigga has grown ass women literally throwing pussy at him that will more than likely do anything he wants at the drop of a dime but he continues to interact with children? that sounds like he has a serious problem to me?

aaxnapalm1 — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:16:36 GMT

aye I wanna see R. Kelly get caught by Chris Hanson on "how to catch a predator" that'd be fuckin hilarious!

@holla21

Sure rappers boast about selling drugs and killing, but we don't have evidence of that on film nor does the public have to witness their misdeeds time and time again like it's ok, except for a few rare cases

re: R.Kelly : Rated R

LOL at him getting caught by Chris Hanson...now that would be funny as hell

college almost-dropout — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:39:11 GMT

Ill says kellz would get off just by using Rileys defense lol. but just cause a dude is talented, that shouldnt cover up the fact that homie got issues. Hell yeah, grown ass broadz is throwin it at him, but if he got a younger preference... that aint cool. To the fans that take his side because of his music, just picture him singin his catalouge of sexually suggestive (ie "ADULT") songs to your kid sister or daughter. He's a decent entertainer, an extremely gifted musical soul, and a nigga with a problem. after he pay for them couret fees, he should pay for therapy... im a fan fa sho, i just cant support him outside of the booth...

and hell yeah 2 Mu$h... "Pied Piper of R&B"... thats too blatant of a cry for help, or that nigga just sick in the head and is on some Hannibal shit and just thinks thas whats really hood to do... I peeped that when he first started that dumb shit...

and was it just me or did he look like the dude on the Neighborhood watch signs when he put on that mask a while back...

im just sayin

And the winner is.....Hov! My man...

Seriously though, most people I talk to don't care for Mr. Kelly much anymore. "Same Girl" was a great song that was destroyed but horrible remixes (T-Pain?).

I am only checking for Robert to see that justice is served.

TestosteroneDrone — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:06:22 GMT

I like Kellz a lot but I think he's really been falling off with the last few releases...Happy People wasn't so hot but it was "listenable", Remix City was a joke, TP3 had like 3-4 good songs but it was over shadowed by all the Trapped in the Closet songs(he should have made a dual disk with the trapped in the closet songs on disk 2), and Double Up should have been called "Grow Up" Kellz after age 35 you really can't talk about "Doubling Up" he's regressing rather than progressing. TP2 is probably the best R&B album of our generation and Chocolate Factory was right up there with it. More recently though, he's been on some "playa shit" and it's not making for good content on his albums. Double Up didn't have a whole lot of content and I think he tried to get TOO creative and messed it up. Songs like Best Friend, Tryin' to get a Number, Real Talk, Rollin'(had no content and was Kellz tryin' to stunt like he's a rapper????) The only decent songs were The Zoo, Sweet Tooth, Sex Planet, and MAYBE Having a Baby...but this was not a good look for Kellz. It's time to grow up and make some grown shit.

TestosteroneDrone — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:11:49 GMT

And for the doubters it was Kellz in the video but he'll get off. The investigators dropped the ball and obtained all evidence(video and pictures on digital camera) without a warrant, therefore it can't be used in court. Also it's a rumor that at the last hearing the girl that was in the video had to take stand and said that it wasn't her in the video(Kellz probably paid her off) so he ain't goin no where. The jokes about Kellz, Mike Vick, Marcus Vick, Mike Tyson, and OJ sharing a cell isn't going to happen cuz Kellz, OJ, and Tyson will get off.

R. KELLY IS A LOSER, PEDOPHILE, AND A BITCH. ITS A SHAME THAT A MAN WITH THAT MUCH MUSICAL TALENT IS SO SICK IN THE MIND. I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE KEEP SUPPORTING THAT CRAP HE HAS BEEN CALLING MUSIC LATELY. HE IS A 40YR OLD "FLIRT", AND I DONT WANNA GE STARTED ON THAT "TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET" MESS. TP3 AND THAT DOUBLE UO ALBUM WAS TORTURE TO MY EARS. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT TAKING HIS TRAIL SO LONG...ANYONE ELSE THEY WOULD HAVE THROWN THEM UNDER THE JAIL ALREADY. HE KNOW IT WAS HIM, WE DIDNT FORGET ABOUT AALIYAH. JUS SICK HE HAS SOME ISSUES THAT HE NEEDS TO WORK OUT IN JAIL. NEYO TAKING OVER AND R KELLY KNOW IT THATS Y HE DID THAT BS WHEN THEY WERE IN TOUR. FAKE ASS GOSPEL ARTIST.

R. Kelly might be stranger danger, but I think this issue, conceputally, is bigger than R.Kelly. We still maintain the innocence of "so -called children" aged 15-18 in a culture where "children" that age are being charged as adults for murder, robbery, etc..etc.. In modern day American culture, sex and violence is broadcast on cable, digitized on video games, and made melodic in all genres of music. Yet we expect teenagers to be innocent to the urges in their bodies, despite understanding at an early age, quite viscerally through media, of what that urge "do". We say it is the adults who must control themselves, but we all know many adults whose sexuality is still trapped in a teenage framework. We bounce around from person to person, looking for a new urge or desire to fulfill. The same thing this girl was doing on the infamous tape. Was she caught up in his celebrity, was she overwhelmed by the authority he had over her and relented her body as an escape? Was it forced, was she raped? By the looks of it they both enjoyed it and considering the action involved, her experience was apparent. I guess I am writing simply to say, we can no longer base our arguments on the Innocence of Youth mythology. Youth after the age of 12 growing up in any of our nations major urban areas, attending public schools, are not innocent. Many of those children due to their environments were forced to grow up quickly and in the world we currently live in childhood is disappearing (children younger than 15 are increasingly being sexualized- look at the fashions). Now Europe's age of consent laws are lower for a reason...lets get real and consider why they are lower....realtlk
