Trey to Kels: Basically…You Suck Now

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.

Trey Songz is just lame as Kellz these days…with his opera singin *****.
Why don’t you worry about those crazy facial expressions you keep making in the camera?
Whatever
6/10/09, 13:58:pm
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!

6/10/09, 14:12:pm
I agree with TREY. Folks need to call a spade a dam* spade and acknowledge the fact the music these days HELLA SUCKS and Kels needs to be slapped for some of the shyt he has put out lately. Has anyone heard “Candy” or “Lick Ya Candy” or whatever it’s called? Str8 up GARBAGE!!! If you produce something your fans love (i.e. 12 Play, R. Kelly, R.) why in the heck would you stray for that successful formula and opt for trash music just because T-Pain is killing with it??? That’s the problem…no one wants to stay original. They all gotta be in the same bed with each other….HELLO LIL’ WAYNE! They really need to cut it out!

6/10/09, 14:13:pm
Truthfully, who gives a *****? When talking to or about R. Kelly, is this really what you came up with to say to him? This is the part of him that you had to frown upon?
And if auto-tune makes a song sound better, who really really really really gives a *****???? Really?
Wat is the big ***** controversy about auto-tune? its the style right now…next year it will be something different.

6/10/09, 14:14:pm

6/10/09, 14:38:pm
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!

I love how the majority tosses “aside” the fact that R. Kelly is a pedophile, but if push came to shove, none of ya’ll would let him near your daughter or niece or cousin for that matter! No sleepover at the Kelly mansion! R. Kelly shouldn’t be relevant. PERIOD. His ***** should be in jail.

Yo,Trey is right,But he’s just a lil *****.i gotta agree with WHATEVER.In 20 years lil trey ain’t gonna be relevant.If R. kelly never makes another song,He still will be remembered as a legend.I don’t know anyone who has compared or *****ociated lil trey’s style or music with R.Kelly’s.Yo R.Kelly is an O.G when it comes to this R&B *****,lil trey gotta still put in work to reach dat O.G status.Who Was hotter than R.Kelly from 1990-2000? NO *****’n BODY!

6/10/09, 14:51:pm
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.

The funny thing is I have been playing both R Kelly’s Gangsta Grillz and trey’s mixtapes and I like them both (alot of autotune on you too trey, while you talkin that shyt) but I knew there wasn’t enough *****e for them both to coexist. They do the exact same thing, trey is better rapper and R. is abetter singer. They both are talented as hell and shine because they mastered NELLY’s sound.
@everyone talking about the sex tape:
Let it go. Y’all all got family members that know they did something and got away on a technicallity. If he is guilty it’ll catch up to him, just ask O.J. (not Da Juiceman but the Juice) But for y’all to judge him thats not cool. I want to see them battle it out though. Its entertainment, So entertain me

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…

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 *****istance 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!!!

6/10/09, 16:57:pm
I totally agree with Trey, I don’t like Trey and I don’t see any comparsion to R. Kelly but he is right about the music thing. R.kelly feels and hears like he is falling of, he is doing what everyone else is doing and he has always been a trendsetter. So I am sorry I don’t like trey songs but I totally agree with him and Jay-Z your towel is wet too *****, time to hang it up.

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

6/10/09, 17:43:pm
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.

Same goes with MARY J BLIGE…shes using that crap as well, and im *****in tired of it! R&B does not exist anymore today, its crap compared to the 90’s!!

6/10/09, 19:13:pm
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*
6/10/09, 19:48:pm
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.

6/11/09, 02:55:am
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
6/11/09, 02:59:am
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
6/11/09, 05:09:am
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 cl*****ics.
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.

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.

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!!!!
Mix
6/11/09, 09:19:am
Ummm…Trey might as well consider himself a 12 year old girl…cuz Kelly *****n for dat azz… lol! Not that I like the dirty old man though…but i respect his musical talent. Uncle R is a genius! I think Trey might’ve given Kelly just the ammunition he needs for a great comeback song
hopefully without autotune though. Oh and if Trey stays on his grind and keeps drinking milk…he might grow up to have the talent the R.Kelly has one day.

6/11/09, 10:10:am
i’m 27, i’ve been an r. kelly fan since i was 8.trey has the better voice HANDS DOWN and r.kelly needs to GROW UP. he is forgetting about the original fan base that made him who he is and chasing a younger crowd. his music should be evolving with people in my age range because we made him. he shouldnt be back tracking to follow in the footsteps or whos hot now. period

Damn, some of ya’ll are hating on Trey something awful. Whether you think Trey is talented, or a never-been…he’s right. He’s not saying anything that many of us haven’t been saying about R.Kelly. His music has become immature. Same complaint I had about Janet Jackson. I haven’t been understanding why these artists who are now veterans in the game had more mature music when they were in their 20s. You know music is sucking when even the vets are singing like they’re still 20.
