R Kelly: Human Enigma

We all know that R. Kelly is a man of many talents and one of the snazziest dressing, and most ghetto-fabUlous celebs (the bold U is for the kids who think it's spelled with an "o"), but now he's taken his eccentricity to a Sisqo-ish level.

I really hope this picture is from a movie shoot or something. But, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't...


I assume his "Hairbraider" did this.

I've been telling people for years that this guy has some serious issues but he has a permanent Ghetto Pass that will neVaR be revoked. If he can still keep churning out songs that seem to resonate so well with Black folks (???) then we'll eventually forget that he made pRoN with an under-aged chick several years back and done God knows what else. Imagine what he was like when he and Aaliyah were allegedly an "item".

Ten years from now when people look at him as a psycho just like they do Mike Tyson and O-Jizzle, don't forget who called it (moi).

Oh come on that is a low blow! R. Kelly isn't on the same couch as Mike Tyson or O.J. for that matter. But, he does share "common R&B crooner with disturbed past" aspects that are so prevalent in the industry. In fact they need to pick him to play Marvin Gaye or Sam Cooke because he shares too many of their stories.

Compared to people like Jackie Wilson (who had so many kids with teenage girls he got banned from performing at high schools), he is a saint. Kells is a bit off-kilter, borderline musical genius and vulnerable to a fault. Growing up without a father has taken its toll, losing the only person he believed loved him (his mother) took its toll. While I love Aaliyah, she seemed to have an affinity for older men (Dame Dash)and obviously there is something about this man, that young women are so drawn to him. Not excusing his prior acts (especially the water sports...ick), but I am just tired of black folk acting like it's JUST him. When I was in HS, half the girls in my class were seeing men in their 20's. If nothing else R. Kelly represents issues we have in the black community that we always shake our heads at but never deal with.

So, ghetto pass? Maybe, but the real question is how can you blame someone that is just like so many others?

R Kelly is a grown-azz man. And regardless of what's happened to him in the past and who he has lost, that's no excuse for him to be peeing on young girls.

Perhaps putting him in the class of OJ and Iron Mike is a bit premature since he hasn't raped or killed anyone. But still, he's one of those figures that people always seem to forgive no matter what he does. I'm not denying that this guy isn't one of the most talented musicians out there because he definitely is a creative genius when it comes to music.

But Kellz has some MAJOR issues that you are right about in that lots of people have them. But the fact that he has so much money and is in the spotlight and can have influence on others should mean that he also use his resources to get some help and also use his fame to influence others.

Touche Mr. Mike, and I can't believe you said he looked "siqo-ish"....LOL!

Seriously, didn't sisqo used to have silver hair and wear silver shirts and ish. And ironically, Kellz used to diss Sisqo all the time.

M.C. said...

Hmmm, so are you also saying that Kells plays on the same team as Sisqo? I mean wouldn't that complete the whole disturbed persona?

I wouldn't be surprised if Kellz was into women, men, and animals.

M.C. said...

Animals!!!!!!! Damn Mike, I totally didn't see that one coming.

This is the man who said someone reminded him of his Jeep. And God only knows he has convinced someone to fall for the banana in the tailpipe.
