R. Kelly's new 19-minute song

**soulster** · 07-23-2018, 09:10 PM

His new song reads like a confessional. Sounds 100% truthful, but there's nothing that a prosecutor could nail him on.

And, here is the song:

Seems like the guy is messed up. To be fair, maybe his issues all stem from his being sexually abused as a child. Maybe he needed to issue this song as therapy.

BTW, the song fades after four minutes, but then part two kicks in.

Look Midnight, i'm not defending R. Kelly. I am wondering, after reading about all the allegations against him, if he isn't being railroaded, especially after considering all the stuff other artists have done, like Chuck Berry, marvin Gaye, Jerry Lee Lewis, Don Henley, and scores upon scores of others.

Nah we're not going there. Let R. Kelly take the L, soulster. We're not playing whataboutism in the Trump era with a broke, functionally illiterate child molesting, domestic abusing slime bag.

Let Robert take the L, Soul!

It's okay.

Jerry Lee murdered someone so I consider him as evil as R. Kelly [[and I hate Jerry Lee's music).

Chuck Berry's perversion is similar to Kells' so his reputation was already ruined when it was revealed.

Don Henley's a KNOWN a$$.

Marvin admitted his f*ckery before he died so and compared to Kells and the others you mention, he's the lesser evil among them [[in fact he's the only one who actually was like "yeah I did that mess and I should've known better" basically)...

Yeah Robert was abused and then turned around to be the abuser lol that's where my sympathy ends there so no we're not playing this game.

Stopped listening after a little over a minute. I don't respect nor understand how a guy like this,who's contributed so much to popular music sell his sound out. An innovator who tries to fit in?, the very kids he's copying are trying to accomplish what he did. Look, this song may be great to those who pay attention to it, but until he learns how to be who he is my head is turned. Being true to thy self is a concept he seems to have forgotten.

What does that mean? I have no idea what 'the L" means.

So, you are judge and jury?

Yeah Robert was abused and then turned around to be the abuser lol that's where my sympathy ends there so no we're not playing this game.

So, you speak for everyone? Isn't that what Trump tries to do?
