Many of you would be surprised to know that under this suave, dashing exterior I'm
actually a ghetto boy at heart who was raised on NWA, Guy and several other excellent
groups. In an alternate lifestyle, I would have been a member of the WuTang
clan (or Mobb Deep - by far my favorite group). In my list of top artists, I
used to include R Kelly in there - I've been a big fan for a long time.
Until now.
He's gotten gradually worse with each album. He struck the epitome of corniness
with his latest 4-part “Man in the Closet”. How can someone not
listen to any of those songs and laugh?? My wife, who normally tunes out my
music in the car, couldn't believe that something so bad could be considered a hit
song. I'm afraid I have to agree. He's gone from being an excellent artist
to someone who I think is surviving now on reputation alone - and not on the quality
of his tracks.
