Every serious R&B singer still thinks highly of Kellz, artistically speaking only! He wrote, produced and sang for decades on the highest level and was a superb singer live. How many of those who crown themselves King of R&B can still do that?! Exactly.....
Michael Jackson was accused of the same thing including admitting to sleeping in the same bed as kids but most people will defend him because he's Michael
I've always said Rkelly is the best R&B artist ever and it's not even close. I think he's a monster as a person but best of all time as an artist. Prove me wrong. That man's catalog is second to NONE.
Usher does not have to say Kelly’s name … the people will say it for him… R Kelly is undeniably the King of R & B . His songs , soundtracks and hits for himself and others are etched in our minds forever. There are many generations that are intoxicated by his music. You can’t even say R & B with out thinking of him!
Usher didn't have to mention him at all. We all know who is and will always be the King 👑 of R&B! He puts the R in R and B, The Pied Piper, R. Kelly hands down.
R.Kelly is king of R&B Who writes and produces his own music without collaboration for himself and others and he writes everything R&B, Gospel, Soul, Hip hop.
Everyone knows that R Kelly is thee king of R&B ..now let's keep it 💯 now...not condoning anything he has been alleged to do outside of Music..But when it comes to R&B Music R Kelly is thee 👑
I know everybody want to cancel him but you can't have an R&B discussion without R. Kelly take away all the stuff he did on the side but his music is genius and everyone grew up on it
@@Jokerlkak You definitely right but that doesn't change what he's done music wise , Just like Bill Cosby love him or hate him dude made us laugh can't take those moments away no matter how hard you try
Ima say Rkelly for me was the king of R&B, im going off talent not their personal lives.......because both having sketchy past. My focus is on the music when this topic is brought up point blank.
@@tjones617 YOU FRIED... CURTIS IS DEFINITELY DOPE BUT 90% OF PEOPLE HAVE TO LOOK HIM UP... NOBODY IS THE BEST OF ANYTHING FAMOUS AND MOSTLY UNKNOWN AT THE SAME TIME.
‘They’ you mean a highly qualified judge? You mean the jury? Question: can you sit on the toilet the right way around or do you struggle to figure it out?
Shannon- may God bless you and your family. You may not even realize how powerful you have become. So many of us want the TRUTH more than air. So many of us got love for ALL and are not caught in race politics and other things that make us different HUMANS. We are all the same.
R Kelly truly is the king of R&B , its just that he's canceled so no one is allowed to publicly make such a statement. The reason he is the king is because there is no one younger than him who is greater than him, usher is great but he's defintely not more soulful than Robert Kelly. He sang effortlessly with soul and wrote and produced all his own stuff and SO MANY OTHERS, songs that he still has credits on TIL THIS DAY that yall still listen to if u listen to R&B in general, how can that be denied. u wont find that in ushers discography, he has a pop element which is ok bcus its versatile and works for him. R. Kellys 90s albums ALONE created a culture of R&B in the hood that has yet to be surpassed. The North remembers!
@@marquink Exactly! Guys like Usher are great, they are pushing the envelope but not as complete as Kellz. From the Getgo Kellz wrote and produced for himself and others.
Whether he did it or not R. KELLY is the king. His music sounds the same whether he killed people or not. Yes he got the right justice for his actions but his music is golden.
@@angelomarconi1747 T-Pain shared a story on an interview, you could look it up, anyway this man told him that he f'd up R&B. T-Pain didn't know what to say to that because he looked up to this man. This is the reason why T-Pain went into depression. Look it up, I saw it awhile ago on youtube.
The fact that Usher mentioned Donny Hathaway baybyyyy❤that man has a voice on him!
Donny can't come close to R Kelly
Nope r Kelly catalog to long
You can put Michael in r&b he started off as pure r&b and transition to pop when he was an adult. Usher Mt Rushmore is awesome. Usher Baby!! ❤️❤️
He’s not top r&b, he’s the king of pop
A Kingdom that won't stand!
He influenced all the r&b dudes nowadays
R.Kelly Is R & B..... 🎶And R & B Is R.Kelly ❤❤❤❤❤
Nope he's a pedophile
Usher Great but for me that's why I respect Tank he wasn't afraid to say R.Kelly was the King
I said the same.
R kelly is the king of pedophiles so shut up
Speaking specifically on the body of musical work and talent, Robert Kelly is top 3 all time.
To echo the room R. Kelly, one of the greatest R&B Arte's but he damned his self. No one in Hollywood will speak his name with positivity.
Funnily enough, Mario and Jacquees have

Tank does and I'm sure Usher thinks musically highly of R Kelly but his list was old old school wasn't like he picked anybody from the 90s era!!
@rikkidgermano9640 I would say there were 2 decades where he was king.
Club Shay Shay got portals to other dimensions. The rooms keep changing
that's because sometimes he goes to where the artists are. this was Vegas where usher was
So ya saying he used his portal to get there. Amazing 🤩
@bigboi36 the interview was done in November. 🤷🏾
When usher said “caught up” the song poped up in my head😂
You and me both 😂😂😂
Same
PRINCE
YOU CANNOT MENTION RNB WITHOUT THE R! R KELLY THE GOAT
You can't mention child abuse by a famous r r artist without saying r kelly
The mf 🐐
Shannon trying to get him to say R Kelly
I've always said Rkelly is the best R&B artist ever and it's not even close. I think he's a monster as a person but best of all time as an artist. Prove me wrong. That man's catalog is second to NONE.
Yep facts
I lost any respect for Usher.
If you talk about the King of R&B and you don't mention R Kelly, you are a coward.
R. Kelly isn't a monster. Blame the parents for being monsters.
@@malcolmthompson7769 check out @DDGotAPodcast. He just dropped a video reacting to this clip. He said it perfectly!
In the words of Minister Louis Farrakhan on R. Kelly. "That man is deeply spiritual. You can't write songs like that and not have God all up in you."
Usher is so inspiring 😊
Purposefully speaking!!!!
You don't have to like Kelly to know he's the King
Marvin Gaye = King of R&B
@@ALexander-ue3kj 🤣🚫❌
I lost any respect for Usher.
If you talk about the King of R&B and you don't mention R Kelly, you are a coward.
Usher low-key plugging his song titles in the interview to get them streams up.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
R kelly the king and its not up for debate!!! Usher knows that just can't say, because he don't want to get his half time show boycotted!!!

This was ushers nice way to say he know he not the “KANG” . -R.Kelly #1
📣They can NEVER, U HEAR ME, NEVERRR erase Kellz. The real King of R&B.
King of pedophiles more like it usher is the king of R&B
Usher said he looked up to r Kelly and said he was a mentor when he was at the 98 Grammys.
Of course R Kelly is one of the greatest R&B King of all time, but there are other kings. Usher holds his own as a King right now.
Thank you I think so too
Usher is more pop than he is R&B
Usher didn't have to mention him at all. We all know who is and will always be the King 👑 of R&B! He puts the R in R and B, The Pied Piper, R. Kelly hands down.
King of pedophiles sure
R.Kelly is king of R&B Who writes and produces his own music without collaboration for himself and others and he writes everything R&B, Gospel, Soul, Hip hop.
He also wrote checks to the parents of the underage women he molested.
R Kelly needs to be on that Mt. Rushmore of top R&B singers! His voice is heavenly. I will never stop listening to his music. ❤
I lost any respect for Usher.
If you talk about the King of R&B and you don't mention R Kelly, you are a coward.
R Kelly is one of those kings if talking just music
He IS King of R&B not one of them lol
He knows that you just can't say it publicly
King of the toilet seat,
R kelly king of been a peduu n a pissr of the golden shower dude wasnt peduu enough for the island membership 😂
King of being around little girls
Everyone knows that R Kelly is thee king of R&B ..now let's keep it 💯 now...not condoning anything he has been alleged to do outside of Music..But when it comes to R&B Music R Kelly is thee 👑
Kellz is, was, and will always be the king of R&B.
ALL DAY ALL WEEK ALL YEAR ALL DECADE LONG!
Marvin Gaye

Bruh they are trying to erase the REAL KING of RnB,we all know R.Kelly is THE KING 👑

RK is the Best of all in my book. Can,t believe he didn,t call his name🙆🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️
More like the King of the prison kitchen
Ima say Rkelly for me was the king of R&B, im going off talent not their personal lives.......because both having sketchy past. My focus is on the music when this topic is brought up point blank.
Lol
Usher doesn’t have a sketchy pass
If R Kelly ain't in your MT. Rushmore it's invalid.
Super INVALID!!!!!
He carved himself out being a disgrace.
Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Teddy Pendergrass. Sorry, but R Kelly doesn't make the list
HANDS DOWN R KELLY…THE TRUE KING OF R&B❤❤❤❤❤
Facts
Doesn't take away his musical talent tho
not even close
@@fdonjay if not he's definitely on that Mt Rushmore
They just don't want to say it
Dont sleep on shay y’all the man is a inner genius, if R.Kelly come home he definitely will be on this show 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 I said it here first
He ain’t coming home
He is home… in jail
@@LaniChanel-l6i dam y’all got so much hate in your soul, I know why your perceptions are messed up

Robert Kelly, The R in the R&B.
Marvin Gaye
R.Kelly is greatest R&B artist ever
No he's not. You never heard of Curtis Mayfield. Compared to Curtis Mayfield. R Kelly is simple

Club shay goin up
R Kelly should be on R & B my Rushmore
He in prison so can't ad him on there no more
@@kareemeverisonwe can and WILL
Love your podcast
To not have R Kelly on the Mount Rushmore of RnB is totally disrespectful. His contribution to the genre is indelible
His contribution to underage grooming was more significant, I’d say, especially now, right?
I disagree... I don't have him on my Mt Rushmore...... Musically he's gifted but not on my Mt Rushmore
@@nerdguru86 Study history, he’s definitely one of the best
@@joshuajones5021everyone had there own opinion on who they like

I hope one day the hold that R.Kelly has on some people will be released. 💯
R Kelly 👑
🔥🔥🔥🔥for Donnie Hathaway and Marvin Gaye
I love them too. However, they weren't consistent with their craft as artists like R. Kelly was.
R Kelly is the king of RnB….let’s be real now
Once R&B singers started to Rap including Usher now everybody and their momma want to be a Rapper
The fact that he didn’t say R. Kelly is shocking.
R Kelly is to R&B what Jordan is to basketball 🤷🏾♂️
Usher’s my King of R&B
R KELLY THE KING 👑 OF R&B. NOBODY COME CLOSE
Usher makes a great point. Almost every genre has a culture behind it. But R&B has never really had a culture. However it’s still a successful genre.
It's only one 👑 & he ain't free & he puts the r in r&b
Anybody who don't put R Kelly on their Rushmore are bias and scared .
It’s not even debatable it’s ROBERT SYLVESTER KELLY
Shannon- may God bless you and your family. You may not even realize how powerful you have become. So many of us want the TRUTH more than air. So many of us got love for ALL and are not caught in race politics and other things that make us different HUMANS. We are all the same.
Ike Turner is underrated
All the Comments recognizing r Kelly as the king of R&B give me hope for the culture!!!
All of y’all are just as sick as that man
They tryna Kobe Bryant R Kelly and erase him from the history books🤨
FACTS....
Trying, but it isn't working. Sony though it would be easy for them to steal his Music Catalog.
@@marquink They wouldnt let kells buy his own catalog and thats one of the reasons why they are doin all this 2 him.
Nah fr you sound stupid saying these people better than Robert 😂
You sound absolutely crazy right now
Usher is the goat
R Kelly
Let me remind you that R. Kelly is the king of R&B. After that Marvin Gaye.
Prince
Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Usher, and Luther Vandross
Alexander usher is not in same with them no kind of way usher couldn't touch them with his music usher is not in the same class
You got the Soul Music Era
You got the Blues Music Era
When it comes to R&B Music: R-Kelly is the King of R&B
And R. Kelly mastered all those genres throughout each album and what he wrote for other people.
Usher would have been great in dream girls. I’ll pass on the group with diddy and jayz tho
Agreed. It’s one of them thangs that sound good on paper but nah😂😂😂
