Is there an R&B artist that has come out in the last 20 (35) years that is more gifted than R. Kelly???

[3rdWorld]

He has no competition..

You'd have to go back to the likes of Gamble and Huff to come close.

 

[@OffHalsted]

All of them blassics

Only 2 are

 

[RammerJammer]

Probably not, he sung a whole musical drama by himself and made a film off of it.

It shoulda been Kellz vs Babyface tonight, not Teddy Echo Riley dammit!!!

We really missed something that coulda been great y'all

 

[Made Man]

Yea, my girl and I were talking about how Kellz would’ve cleaned up if he was out and people were fukking with him. Since that’s not a possibility I think Breezy and Usher should do a versus .

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Somebody need to go get kellz a keyboard and phone to get this IG battle poppin

Didn't know until now that he dropped another album. He got 7 albums 1 is a triple.
The-Dream Shares New Album 'SXTP4'
The legendary songwriter and producer The-Dream has finally dropped SXTP4.
The project is his seventh solo studio album, and the fourth installment to his Sextape series, following Ménage à Trois: Sextape Vol. 1, 2, 3. The album also boasts only one listed feature from Jhené Aiko as well.

R. Kelly is #1 everyone else is a distant 2nd. Dude has over 10 albums.

D'Angelo needs to put out more music.

Within the same time frame? The names that I immediately think of are Aretha, Roberta Flack, Mariah & Alicia Keys. My personal favorites would be Jill Scott & India Arie, but I’m not sure if they wrote most of their songs anyway. From what I know, none of the women listed have wrote much for other artists either. So I don’t know. School me.

We bout to get Jill Scott vs Erykah Badu

I know Beyonce don't want no smoke with Mary J Blige
