So selling more records means you’re better :gucci:

I posted why he’s a better musician and artist, then you come with this simpleton shyt
:camby:

R Kelly songs aren’t that good when compared to D’Angelo. D’angelos like Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder. He’s a virtuoso musician and producer.

Brown Sugar
Dreaming Eyes of Mine
Untitled
Africa
Really Love
The Charade
Devil’s Pie
Spanish Joint
shyt Damn Motherfukker
The Root
I said ten memorable songs, NOTNOT A FEW memorable songs and several that YOU like.

It is outlandish. Very outlandish. Anybody that is fan of 90's R&B knows D'angelo's music. You can't be a serious fan of R&B and make a statement lile that. It's ignorant. I mean Sade is has like 5-10 year intervals in between albums, but people know her music.
A bunch of nobodies play instruments,if he was REMOTELY on kells level AND he played instruments,maybe you'd have a point. But he never was close to kells

You’re a troll, dude. :stopitslime:
He only had three albums, and they’re purposefully not radio friendly, so you’re just proving my point that R Kelly had more mainstream appeal with this shyt and your “he sold more albums :mjgrin:” garbage
:camby:

When it comes to “who’s better” it’s quality over quantity.

Name anything R Kelly does better, musically or artistically, than d’angelo.

D’Angelo reinvented how drums are done on Brown Sugar.
Voodoo was a production masterpiece and made out of Electric Ladyland that had people like Eric Clapton amazed.
Black Messiah helped usher in the new era of social consciousness in music before TBAP.

Meanwhile, R Kelly was singing about midgets in closets.

It’s no comparison.

Okay now you’re just evading the point.

:dead:

Made me list ten d’angelo songs and you can’t even name one thing r Kelly does better, because you don’t know music, so you just edit everything out and make some bytchy comment on a subjective opinion.
Good for you.

Foh :camby:

You’re ridiculous.

I ask you to name something he does better artistically or musically, and all you can come up with is “he makes better songs” :mjgrin:

And then I ask “what makes them better songs” and your answer is “they sell more records”

People who think this way are why Lil Pump and shyt took over this era. “Oh more people listen to them, so they’re better”

Singing about a midgets in closets are NOT quality songs. Doing fukking ten parts of that shyt just proves he’s quantity over quality. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Sade dropped her first three albums in a 4 year time fram,ten she took 4 years ,then 8,then 10.
All these albums were triple or quadruple platinum successes (except the 2010 album) with multiplat in other countries as well.
dangelo was never on sade level.

HATING ON THE king of R&B is futile.
Results are results.
Dude will forever be known for Untitled video,brown sugar,lady,devil's pie, and thats about it.
And he'll never do what kells did to this game

Sade also has twice as many album as D'Angelo though.

3 albums breh. 23 years. They're great albums but he does not have the catalog to really contend with any of his peers.

That's beside the point. Compare Sade to her peers and the amount of albums they put out compared to her's. It would still be outlandish to say "nobody can name a Sade song".

I wasn't arguing about how many albums D'angelo has. I'm talking about how ridiculous it is to argue against him using a statement like "I don't know anyone who can name a D'angelo song". Saying something like that tells me they probably don't even listen to R&B.

This can be argued for days, but I do know I go back to r. kelly songs more and it’s honestly probably not that close either :ehh:
