Trey to Kels: Basically…You Suck Now

Trey Songz & Kels

The SUPERSTAR that is Trey Songz had a few words for the Pied Pedophile. He claims that upon hearing Jigga’s D.O.A..he immediately wondered when R. Kelly was going to stop using autotune actually make good music again:

First off, anyone who is familiar with my history knows I’m a HUGE R. Kelly fan & have been inspired by him since my early beginnings musically. So while some may take this as disrespect, those who truly listen to the lyrics will understand my urging him to go harder. I’ve been compared to R. Kelly since my career began while we all can recall R. Kelly stepping on the scene sounding AND looking JUST like Aaron Hall. He demolished his sound and then went on to build his own which was a mixture of many others. We all are familiar with his signature adlib “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” which he grabbed from Lenny Williams & let’s not forget the “Bump & Grind” remix which started his Isley Brother’s Vibe. Soon enough he assisted Ron Isley in becoming Mr. Biggs & while keeping Ronald close he kept him on his toes. 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.

Ya hear that, Kels? You’ve disappointed lil Trey. Now stop pissing on poor unsuspecting slores and get back in the studio and make some sh*t happen.

    Awwwshaddap! Who cares.

  • na2

    I Totally agree with Trey!!!

  • Whatever

    Young people get so full of themselves when they get a hit record. SMH…

    Pedophilia aside…R. Kelley was an industry LEADER for many, many years. No one can deny his talent or his impact.

    Is this Trey guy going to be relevant in 20 years? Let’s just be honest…NO!

  • Ieshia

    HE NEED TO GO SIT DOWN RKELLY HAS HITS UNDER HIS BELT WHAT DORE TREY HAS DONT GET ME WRONG I LIKE TREY MUSIC TO

  • wifey06

    Dont come for him Trey…you dont want it
    I see all that protein done went to your head now that you done bulked up…

  • http://bossip MoniSings

    R&B music doesn’t even exist anymore. That’s why I stay with the Old School Soul vibe. Can’t deny any of the talent from back in the day – if you couldn’t sing, everybody knew it….none o this fake, studio-enhanced, auto-tune shyt.

  • Melissa

    Trey has a damn good point! R.kelly use to be the one setting trends and have these other artist follow! Now he’s trying to follow the young crowd! It’s funny cause I went out to a club last week and almost all the songs they played, the artist used the autotone too much! I was like damn! If they were not using autotone they were talking about “trapping” and selling drugs and popping guns! You would like to depend on that one artist who always kept it creative without going stupid with his music……but r.kelly went south!

  • Lady D

    LMAO at the fact that I thought I was the only one who thought he looked and sounded like Aaron Hall… Other than that, this whole thing is petty.

  • Bet

    Since Trey Songz want to blast R’Kelly then Trey Songz need to be blasted. I love Trey’s RanbB songs and think he is a wonderful talent, but when I got his last CD I was very disappointed. He went hard on the CD cussing and trying be hard like some rapper. Matter of fact, his persona on the CD was more like a rapper than a singer. Therefore, how about you fixed your own songs and decide whether you want to be a rapper or a singer.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    That Aaron Hall accusation is dead on. When ‘Honey Love’ came out, I could have sworn it was a Guy joint. Same thing for ‘Vibe.’ But you can’t fault R. Kelly too much. Guy borrowed heavily from The Gap Band. And so it goes. On and on and on and on…

  • okthen

    There is a whole lot more wrong with R.Kelly than autotune.

  • JB (Wii’ed out)

    R. Kelly is still around?

  • Good Morning Babe…..

    they both wack.

    I feel where Trey is coming from… Kells is super wack!!!!!!!

    The gap band stole from Stevie Wonder and so did Roger Troutman

    Trey Sonz CAN GET IT! Wooo Weee that’s a fine brother!!!

  • http://Bossip debbie

    this is TRUE and the worst part is R Kelly STEALS the music. He doesn’t pay people that he jacked. He is a slim ball.

    Damn Trey is a good writer. This could have been a good blog piece for sure. But funny how Trey getting on R’s when he use Autotune a time or two himself. Just funny to me atleast.

    I swear guys are more catty then women are at times, especially in the music industry. They always seems to be calling each other out for the same thing that they do themselves.

    LMAO @ the r kelly on here…LOL!!!!!!

  • 2dimplzs

    I totally understand what Trey Songz is saying and I don’t think it’s disrespectful to say. R-Kelly needs to re-group and get his swag back and leave the auto tune crap alone and just SING like he used to. He has a beautiful voice that doesn’t need the assistance of auto tune. I miss hearing HIS VOICE. Step your game up Kels and stop jumping on the bandwagon of other talentless “artists” are doing these days. DO YOU!!! Use your brilliant mind man!!!

  • 2dimplzs

    …..and see a shrink about your love of little girls. That mess ain’t cool at all. You have daughters of your own man!!!

  • http://www.bossip.com shaz

    yo, real talk i like u trey songz but u aint got no bizness talkin bout r.kelly cuz u havent made it yet, and u’ve been in the business for a good minute, so until u get ur game up.. keep those kinda comments 2 urself

  • Honey Beauty

    Trey Songz is an underrated artist. His voice is beautiful, he just needs to hook up with the right producers.

  • http://www.thefreshmusicpage.com The Fresh Man

    That is like Ciara telling Aretha Franklin that she’s not singing soul music correctly.

    Who the hell is Trey Songz? He don’t even stand out among his peers. So he has no business talking about what Kells is/should be doing. He needs to worry about his own lackluster career.

  • m

    trey who?? does he really think r kelly cares about his opinion?

  • YaddaYadda

    R&B music doesn’t even exist anymore. That’s why I stay with the Old School Soul vibe. Can’t deny any of the talent from back in the day – if you couldn’t sing, everybody knew it….none o this fake, studio-enhanced, auto-tune shyt.

    ****************************************

    ^^^ i agree with your 100%

  • Arthur

    i’m co-signing trey 100%. autotune has not only zombied hip hop but R&B. stop using it people. i never even bought 808′s

  • krakatoa

    Trey Songz is right but he’s got a cheek to sound off. He should concentrate on making some original music himself because the last half-decent track he had was just a straight rip-off of a Ready For The World tune.

  • *Treasure*

    Trey Songz is a very talented artist. I like his music. He should refrain from speaking harshly about someone whom he tried to pattern himself after in the beginning of his career. He is trying to kindly remind us that R Kelly is nearing his demise and Trey’s career is soaring to new heights. Let me remind Trey that his career can end just as abruptly as R Kelly’s. He shouldn’t try to cast doubt on another artist to make himself appear in an endearing light.

  • fantacladd

    Yes. I concur. Will the R. Kelly from 1992 Born into the 90s to 2003 Chocolate Factory please stand up!

  • Thickykins!LOL!

    i think trey is tellin the truth, but he aint grown enough to say it yet! LOL! kells is a gangsta at the r&b we kno this. autotunes or not! the song he (trey) put out about kells is fire tho! i agree that trey will probably not be relevant well in to his prime…

  • Bigmamaj

    TREY baby… DONT DO IT! just walk away… YOU will never be the Entertainer that R KELLY IS…. just stop.

  • statim08

    Really Trey, don’t take Jay’s words so seriously.

  • facefacts

    LOL I hate trey’s voice so R. Kelly comparison is way off to me…plus Jay really hasn’t moved many albums either so the whole DOA movement is BS!!!

  • Trailblaza

    R Kelly is okay but Im not that impressed with his music like that. He had some bangers but let’s not go overboard wit it. Yall act like every cd he put out was st8 fire. Maybe every single was but certainly not his whole catalog of cds. Early in his career he was cool but then he started falling off terribly.

  • LadyChi

    R.Kelly never fell off or stopped making hits. If you listen to 12 play-4th Quarter you will hear that R.Kelly still got it. That album never got officially released because of his case. Trey Songz will never be on R.Kelly’s level. First he gotta stay consistent like Kellz to get there. Just because somebody came out first don’t mean the person trying to be like them. It could be that they had an influence on their music. Trey Songz career ain’t going no where that last album flopped, and I’m sure the next one will as well.

  • GET EM TREY

    TREY is just reminding Kelz that his talent is beyond the BS he’s been releasing. And that he needs to stop trying to compete with these clowns and go back to making classics.

    All your comments taking shots at Trey (for speaking the truth) sound dumb. He never said he was better than R.Kelly. Hes acknowledged his talent and he’s telling him, as a fan, to step his game up.

    You’re a liar if you say R.Kelly’s latest music is up to par with his earlier releases.

  • Aww Man…

    I just can’t believe people had compared Trey Songz to R.Kelly. GTFOOH man. Trey Songz? Trey Songz will never be as good as R.Kelly nor be as successful as he is.

  • Mrs. Rance

    Trey must have lost his cotton pickin mind. I may not support Kels anymore, but that has nothing to do with his music which is sheer genious. Trey is not worthy to carry his used condomn let alone challenge to him anything musically. This would be like Chris Brown talking ish about Michael Jackson. Stop play lil Trey.

  • Ms.Understood

    Where do i begin? 1st I lOVE Try Songz and R.Kelly! Not really any comparison but both are great! R.Kelly 12th play 4th quarter was banging! As far as Trey Songz he is VERY underestimated and overlooked cuz he hasnt sold out and does AOLT of underground stuff. Trey you are going to get yours just keep putting out good sh*t! Kells you do NEED to leave the voice box alone your FANS LOVE your voice in its natural state. For those of you who dont know Trey did a song that Kells wrote and produced and i think sings background on….the song is called GRUB ON! Check it out!!!!

  • CHI-TOWN’S FINEST

    Kells does need 2 take it back 2 how he used 2 be-a little bit- I am noticing that alot of the r&b dudes pattern themselves after him. Im a R. kelly fan & I have alot of his music so when I hear these other dudes I know what they take from him.

  • miss thang

    HA!!….First off yung Trey, trey…there is no comparison. Trey is not even in the same class with R. kelly. First off… Trey needs to not only have as many hits as R. kelly to be compared to him, but write as many hits as he has then when can compare icons. R.kelly do you. far as I concerned Trey Songz is still new booty. Make and write hits first Trey!
