“…..The R. Kelly we all grew to love was innovative, witty, & trendsetting. If you were to say that R. Kelly has excited you musically as of late, I would question your ears. When I heard JayZ’s “Death of Autotune” my first thought was when will R. Kelly stop using it; The King of R&B with a autotune filled mixtape (not to mention a auto tuned “Double Up” album) disappoints me. If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the King, consider them thrown.”
-Trey Songz in response to the release of his song Death of An Autotune(R.Kelly diss)
Okay i find so many things wrong with Trey Songz and this Kells "battle". Battle is in quotes because all you have to do is look at the facts. R. Kelly has been in the game for 20 years and managed to stay relevant in today's "next big thing" crazed society. He's sold millions upon millions of albums. While many many R&B male artists have fallen back R.Kelly is still here autotune and all. Meanwhile Trey Songz has only been around for 4 years so trying to compete with someone who's been doing this for 20 years is crazy. I understand his reasoning. But it's still disrespectful. Trey Songz says it's a competition I say it's not. For all the women swooning he ain't selling records, However R.Kelly has sold and continues to sell millions of records. Lets compare hits, well we cant cuz' Trey doesn't have a large enough catalog of hits to compete. It's like Britney telling Madonna to step her game up, Ciara saying she can help Janet get her dance skills up, Beyonce giving Christina Aguilera singing pointers, Usher saying he's a better dancer than MJ. I could go on and on but you get my point. Kellz is a legend Trey Songz is not there is no competion. Kellz is legendary. Trey can fall back on this one. He comes off as opportunist trying to sell records by creating imaginary beefs.
