I like R.kelly but I’m tired of hearing him on everybody’s damn remix!

In response to the cover…….R.kelly is guilty and his perverted ass belongs in jail.

Glad to see my man Kells back on top. I’m glad he ain’t got no trial date yet, cuz I still can’t get enuff of his music. I do agree, he is on everyone’s songs a lil too much….that make it rain remix was too extra!

Oh, my bad Salty, I didn’t know u were on the case….so you’ve reviewed all the evidence, heard from both sides and you’ve already sentanced him to jail huh? That’s why they say, innocent until proven guilty….

What is it im so confused? why is it taking so long for him to get put on trial? I never forgot no matter how many “hits” he’s come out with to make yall forget that he is a child molester. If he wasn’t famous then everyone would think hw was the scum of the earth for doing that with a girl going thru puberty. Oh god!

I dont have a clue why there’s not a trial yet. It must not be that important to the “victim”(I put the quote b/c I wasnt there so I dont know what happened) she’s not questioning the delays one bit . I havent heard anything about it in a few yrs..If she was that devastated she would have been pushing for a earlier trial date.. They wasted no time putting MJ on trial!!

Are they serious about putting up ” Or Guilty Of Being Rich, Black, & Famous?” On the cover. I mean, damn we ALL saw the tape. Why can’t he just own up to his ish. Does it really, always, have to be about that.

^ I agree. We all know it was him pissing on that stupid girl, and along with his other released home movies. Being rich, black, or famous doesn’t have anything to do with this case. He at least needs to admit to something.
I want to read about Amy Winehouse.

H.A.M!!! He could’ve posed better or something

I know they are not using the race card on this??!! Because he’s rich and famous is the only reason he’s not on trial yet!

Vibe need to fall back. Do I believe he’s guilty? Yes. As Katt Williams said, “Nobody doesn’t say the same sh** about you for the last 20 years and its not true.” Or something like that. The man is a musical genius but he has a problem and he needs to called on it.

I doubt if anything will happen to him since nothing has happened to him as of yet… I used to love Mr. Kelly but now I am really tired of him… I used to think his songs and lyrics were so original but now…. How many different spins can you put on singing about sex??? When is this man going to grow up and sing about something with a little more substance? I mean, isn’t he like 40-ish? Singing about making a woman skeet skeet skeet is not what’s hot IMO!!!

They need to dismiss charges at this point. This mess has be going on since my senior year of high school ( I graduated 5yrs ago). All they doing is wasting tax payers money. They don’t even have a complaining witness. Last time I heard the girl was saying it aint her.

agrees with txsupercutie, this fool is 38 or 39, what the hell are you taking ‘chicks’ and flirting so damn hard for? He damn near grandaddy status, with these young azz girls in his video talking bout being the king of r&b (rape & b*tching). cuzz yall know “Heaven I need a hug” was a b*tch azz cry for help. and we all know damn well when we learned that r.kelly was the one singing I’m a flirt”, we all instantly thought ‘I’m a pervert’

No Vibe: guilty of being a rapist, an old azz man wanting to be young, and rich when his azz should be in prison.

still likes his old music tho. lol

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

The fact that he hasn’t gone to trial yet really disturbs me and sends out a really messed up message: Baby Rapers Have Hope Too.

Personally I saw the video, the girl SEEMED as if she consented to the sexual relationship, maybe she felt pressured. All I know is that he is a grown man that shouldn’t have been having sex with a teenage girl let alone recording it.

Regardless if she consented or not there are laws in place to punish those that CHOOSE to have sex with children. But because he is R.Kelly it’s okay? Let’s not handle this like any other person right?

It makes me mad. Really mad.

-dies a million deaths @20’s comment. -hive5 man, I agree with you on everything. When that song came on the radio I started singing “I’m a Dirt” and then my brother started singing “I’m a Pervert”. Oh and I agree with txsupercutie, grown and sexy he is not… someone put a phallic shaped chastity belt on his behind!

Can’t deny Kels have CLASSICS.More classics than some of these people today.I still ride to Kels, he is R&B genius.He stole Aaron Hall’s career?Till than Kels is innocent till proven guilty because someone in the midst could of lied.Girls are smart these days,they trap dudes and look older for their age.

His music now is str8 garbage…everything he does sounds the same…so damn repetative. I miss 12 Play and those R. album days…i wouldn’t buy shyt of his now. But I do have the old shyt!!!

Queen Nefertiti

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

He looks a hot ass mess!! And he better not even go there with the “rich famous and black male” shit. Nigga please!! If you knew that being rich famous and a black male puts you on blast, you should have had more sense or be more cautious of your fuking actions. He should be hella lucky is money still has him off a sexual predator list.

Folks like Kelly make a damn joke of black men who endure overt and covert racism every fuking day, with no one to do shit about it.

Sorry yall, I ain’t mean to go off, I’m sick of his old ass nigga acting like he’s a sixteen year boy. Grow the fuk up!! NEXT!!

Why did they use that pic of R.Kelly? It needed to be touched up or something if it is on the cover : (

43.

Queen Nefertiti

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

I agree with you #39- Kelly’s music now lacks the depth and maturity that it should have. It’s sad to say that the man has actually digressed musically, and his music lacks the maturity that I expect at this stage in his career, and I won’t waste my money on any of his new stuff.

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

I resent the idea that this is just another example of a black man being treated unfairly by our justice system. The guilty using it as a way out discredits the argument. It impossible for that idea to be proposed in situations where it really IS the case.
Lock R.Kelly’s molestin’ ass up.

49.

I won’t buy this issue, I would hate to have my hands smelling like piss. The man is guilty. I don’t care about how good or wack his music is, I couldn’t care less about his race or finances. Stop excusing his music as an excuse or playing the race card. GUILTY!

Here we go with this shit again. They should of been had his ass on trail, especially since they had his filthiness on tape. This is going to be another wack vibe issue that I will not waste my money buying.

And he can leave that rich, black, and famous crap alone because this aint got shit to do with his immoratility.

kells is talented but clearly has issues. i can’t co-sign on his penchant for underaged azz. thinking about an adult man seducing a young girl is gross. but this is america and if you’ve got endz you can buy justice. all i have to say is that i don’t buy his albums and those 2 singles he has, ‘i’m a flirt’ and ‘go getta’ are garbage.

63.

new yorker

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

i’m sorry but i think the girl was stupid too. when i was 16, i would never do what she did regardless of how much i like the person’s music. yea, he’s a perv but that girl’s parents need to give her some class. i don’t care what anyone says. 16 yr olds are not mentally uncapable of making sound decisions so why aren’t people criticizing the girl too? that being said, i lost a lot of respect for kelly after the incident and i do think his career (as far as writing lyrics and making good music) is going downhill

Well, well, well…R.Pissy has FINALLY surfaced…I knew it wouldn’t be long before I saw him on the VIBE cover (AGAIN) with those damn braids but he takes the cake this time. Pissy…grease those nappy dookies up next time!

I think I’m gonna put a stamp on this issue “return to sender…”

Where the hell is Dateline NBC…I’d love for them to catch him in action, lol!

R.Kelly is guilty. End of story.

licious32

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

PART OF THE REASON WHY THE CASE HAS TAKEN SO DAMN LONG IS BECAUSE THE POLICE ILLEGALLY OBTAINED EVIDENCE AFTER THE TAPES WERE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. THE POPO OBTAINED A WARRANT TO DO A DRUG RAID AND FOUND ON ONE OF HIS DIGITAL CAMERAS A BUNCH OF PICS W/HIM AND YOUNGER GIRLS AND TOOK IT IN. PROBLEM IS IT CANNOT BE PUT INTO THE TRIAL BECAUSE THEY WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR CONTRABAND ONLY AND THE PICTURES WERE NOT “EASILY ACCESSIBLE”. HAD THE PICS BEEN OUT IN THE OPEN RATHER THAN SAVED ON AN SD CARD IN A CAMERA, THE TRIAL WOULDVE BEEN DONE ALREADY.

truth is when you have someone at rkelly’s status, you need a $hitload of evidence to convict. look @ how many celebrities have been let off the hook despite the evidence. also, all of the previous allegations re: him doing underage girls were all lawsuits that either were settled/thrown out or are still pending. and not even the power of photoshop can hide the fact that rkelly was on those tapes. technology isnt that good yet to be able completely put another person on a regular camcorder in place of yourself. one of the tapes i saw, he was adjusting the lens, and you knew it was him, no question! although hes a musical genious, hes in the same perv category as michael jackson and woody allen.

Tammy'sGotDimples

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

@New Yorker, I don’t think anyone here is defending the girl. Btw, she was 14 not 16. And no at 16 I never gave older men the time of day either but the fact remains that there are young women and little girls out there searching for love in all wrong places(cliche, I know but it cuts straight to the point.) In every society, not just our own when it comes to little girls(and boys) and sexuality it comes too easy to blame the victim. “Oh, she’s just a fast ass little girl” yada yada yada…and to that I say BULLSHIT! Granted she obviously had little to no home training and very little self respect but guess what? R Kelly is a GROWN man and he should have known better. As an adult he should have told her no, where are your parents? and then found them and told on her. He took advantage of that girls disposition. He is PIG in my eyes and I don’t care that he is Black and I sure as hell don’t care that he makes so called good music it’s a moot point because the man committed a crime. The very fact that he’s out living free is a disturbing reminder that our society does not value our youth. There are men in jail right now serving 10 years for robbing a liquor store yet a man who rapes a 10 year old gets 4 years and out in 2?! Why? Because she was a so called fast little girl who some how seduced a fully grown man…yeah that makes so much sense…

**disclaimer** Not directing my anger towards anyone just giving my POV.

I have not seen the video so therefore i cannot talk, but the way my friend was talking, who has seen the video, that little girl was riding Kellz like a grown ass woman. So, umm. He new better, hell yeah. He is a grown ass man, but she knew better too. Same thing with the Aaliyah situation. He needs his ass beat for messing with her, but her ‘grown’ ass knew better too (yes i called Aaliyah grown). Whatever he did, he had no business doing and needs to be locked up, but these are not 10 year old girls and under. They have sense o some degree to know they were being waaaaaay to grown.

I speak for all girls 17 and under when i say, we need to chill the hell out!!!

72.

Amira

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

I am so sick of everybody rallying around him just cause he’s R.Kelly. Instead of asking why the victim hasn’t pushed for a trial date why isn’t anyone asking why “Kels” isn’t fighting for the chance to clear his name? I could see if there was no evidence but he was ON TAPE pissing on a child in HIS HOUSE….um…and that’s only what he got CAUGHT for who knows how many girls have been victims of the golden shower. He’s Trash, His music is catchy but his lyrics are garbage, King of R&B please try king of media manipulation. Get a Clue!

73.

licious32

Monday, April 2, 2007 /

ok now at 17 and under, you THINK you know everything at that age, but the truth is you dont. kids at that age are still figuring out who they are as a person and are going through the trial and error phase. yes, they may have had sense enough to know what they are doing, but they are still considered minors for a reason. most people at the age of 18 cant hold down a long term job, get their own place, or do half the ish adults are able to do by the time they are 30. they dont know how to handle their liquor and/or drug use (and some never learn how to either) or their sexual prowess, and the truth is, a teens body is not fully developed until they turn 21 years old. you cannot argue w/science on that one.

these girls may have been fast before they met mr. kells, but i am sure all he had to do to lure them in was show his face and flash a lil cash. he prolly got them nice gear that would take up their whole mcdonalds check and they were willing to do whatever w/him because of his status and whatnot. the difference between the girls and the groupies is that the groupies are fully grown, developed, and LEGAL. i dont care if the girls have done more ish than jenna jameson, he had the responsibility of a grown man w/kids not to touch them. that goes w/any adult male or female. the fact that he touched aaliyah at such a young age is fishy enough. he needs help, and needs to appreciate the family he has at home than worrying about future video hoes.
