R&B cat Joe is claiming that Kellz is the reason why his songs got no play on the radio.

Click HERE to read more on this drama and Joe’s thoughts on still being ‘relevant’. Hmmm, relevant is the last word we would use to describe him. Poor thang.

  • Kel

    first.. maybe

  • MR FLORIDA

    1. Joe looks like Dave Chappelle did when he did that PISS ON YOU skit on his show.

    2. Thats a violation on man law to blame another dude for you not getting shine

    3. should I hit Taco Bell or Burger King?

    1st of all, Joe’s head is completely massive.

    Now, moving along, I actually liked one of his albums, although he’s not much of a singer.

    Secondly, Joe’s head is completely massive.

  • Flipper Purefoy

    Has it ever occurred to Joe that he doesn’t get airplay because his songs are boring cookie-cutter bootycall music? Lets’ be honest, most of his cds’ have 1 or 2 songs with strong hooks and melodies and the rest is filler.

    LMAO @ Mr. Florida!!!! LOL, that is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw this…

    And see, that shirt is another example of how corny this guy can be. It’s unbuttoned in the same fashion as those corny “playas” who are 37 and still come to the clubs with cheesy lines (the same guys who wear pointy azz toe shoes with the gator skin).

    … so what, there aint enough space in the industry for the both? I mean, they both very talented singers, Kellz be making up songs and soap-operas while peeing on folk and Joe prolly while shaving that ginormous head of hes… I do enjoy they Music!

  • Emerald

    Uh, your wack songs probably were the culprits, not Chester Molester…sorry.

  • champaignkisses2012

    @Re

    That is exactly who Joe is. You know he had to have a jheri curl before he went baldy. And always got a toothpick handy.

  • Dana Dane

    Stop cryin!!!

  • Flipper Purefoy

    There was an interview with R. Kelly a few years ago in the Rollingstone (i think) where he was critiquing his contemporaries Joe and Montell Jordan. He praised Joe’s voice and singing talent, but said his songs selections was weak and needed better production. Montell Jordan, he dismissed as garbage, which i agree. Montell’s This is for the honeyz, was crap. Last i heard, Montell’s last cd was so bad, his label refused to release it.

  • Shomondo (WHERE IS MY LEADING LADY?)

    Is Kool Moe Dee Joe daddy? They resemble alot. Aint a Joe fan too soft and warm for me.

    @champaignkisses2012

    LMAO @toothpick handy! Brings to mind so many stories of my experiences (still experiencing) those guys…

  • chocha

    his last album was hot, no doubt, compared to some of the ish R.Kelly put out his stuff was definitely better! “Ain’t Nothin Like Me” has got a couple of hit songs and what did R.Kelly put out?? “Real Talk” -that was the wackest ish EVA! Don’t get me wrong I love the pissers music, but I will never understand why Joe’s last CD flopped.

  • Shomondo (WHERE IS MY LEADING LADY?)

    Joe should think of new ways to market hisself. He got enuff dome room to have many bright ideas.

    I’m willing to bet you if he had hair, it would start at the crown of his head. You know, the circle right at the top before the head slopes downward.

    Dead—-LMBAO !

  • I’m Just Me- Bucky Baby’s, Hoovy Baby’s and Josh Allen’s #1 STAN!!!! OH…and Kanye can soooo get it too :)

    LIVESTEEZ SAID:

    R&B singer Joe has accused R. Kelly of trying to derail his career by pressuring radio DJs not to play his records. The singer released six albums with Jive Records over an 11 year period, but left the label earlier this year after the company pushed back the release of his 2007 LP, Ain’t Nothin Like Me, several times.

    The Grammy winner believes fellow Jive artist R. Kelly was to blame, claiming the singer would call Jive bosses and radio stations and urge them not to promote the singer too heavily, according to reports.

    “R. Kelly was very instrumental in making a lot of decisions when it came to my records being played on the radio,” Joe said.

    “He would make a call to the radio station or to the label and say, ‘Hey, this Joe record is too hot right now. Y’all (sic) need to pull that back.’ And they would oblige. It’s incredible that now I get the opportunity to, I don’t know, maybe pay (R. Kelly) back in some sort of side bar kind of thing.”

    And Joe, who left Jive to release his forthcoming LP New Man through Kedar Entertainment Group, insists that despite R. Kelly’s alleged intervention, he’s still got plenty of stake in the industry.

    He says, “I’m still very relevant in the game. But yeah, he did try to make some decisions when it came down to my records being on fire, and climbing up the charts and on the radio stations.”

    1. Joe looks like Dave Chappelle did when he did that PISS ON YOU skit on his show.

    HE DAXN SURE DOES!!!

  • FineAsWine

    @ Chocha…..

    yesssss I was sooo feelin Joe’s last cd..”aint nothin like me” that cd was fiiireee and IDK why it wasn’t a banger….

    for the lames saying Joe isnt much of a singer….ummmmm buy his last album before you go hatin for no reason…Joe is mad talented to me and I think he’s underrated. His last album there were maybe 2 entire songs I didnt like on the cd of 14 or 15 tracks…it was one of those cds you just put in and let it play!!

  • FineAsWine

    @ Im just me…

    thanks for posting that…im not a fan of livesteez either so thanks!

    as for Joe’s new album…I will be copping that and best of luck to him…I looove me some real real nice R&B cds….

    I heard him on Monique in the afternoon on I think Monday. He was singin his ass off…and very well mannered…

  • I’m Just Me- Bucky Baby’s, Hoovy Baby’s and Josh Allen’s #1 STAN!!!! OH…and Kanye can soooo get it too :)

    First of all I didn’t even know Joe had 6 albums….

    ….and I doubt Kells needs to stop another n*ggas shine….he has been doing him for YEARSS…Joe sounds like he needs a scapegoat.

  • http://malone_latisha@hotmail.com Lovely

    Joe does make nice music, I have always wondered why his stuff never gets much play. I kind of like him more the R.Kelly. I liked kelly when I was younger, but as I’ve gotten more mature, he’s beginning to sound sadistic, raunchy, and just plain freakish. I mean you really don’t see the romance in what he makes. Especially since the incidents with the young girls, every time he sings a verse you think he’s talkin about somebodies child.

  • FineAsWine

    Does anyone ever listen to Monique in the afternoons? I live in Columbus Ohio and its on every day but Im not sure where all it’s playing…but I looooooooove her radio show..its off the hook and looove her “no judgement zone” atmosphere

  • Aunt Viv

    Joe makes R.Kelly sound like Jesus.

    LOL@Florida,Lauren and Shomondo!!!

    NO MORE LIVESTEEZ NO MORE LIVESTEEZ NO MORE LIVESTEEZ…

    with caps on purpose :)

  • Badkarmakarl

    Well, Joe’s stuff gets played on the urban adult contemporary stations. I’ve heard it on WHUR, KJLH, those type of stations that aren’t owned by conglomerates.

  • Shavon Denise

    I can believe it.. He is a rapist that never admitted to being such so I think he’s capable of anything. Some people are like, Joe isnt a threat to R. Kelly so why would he do that? But when you’re full of ego and pride… AND dont act like artists dont run their labels because look at 50 cent and Interscope.. Anyone he basically had beef with on the label ws history

  • Seek the light beyond the shadows

    I like Joe he has alot of new music on some underground R&B sites. I say play the man give him a chance and let the people judge.

  • P

    Kells is a cancer on the black community but hey, ignorant people will continue supporting him. It’s the american way.

  • P

    Joe’s music gets no play because it’s MUSIC, not garbage like kelly is shoveling.

    @Vee

    I don’t know who keeps telling these guys it’s hot. It’s the trademark for corny old men.

  • sija

  • dboy

    Sorry Joe but you never really had a big hit record, that’s one of the reasons why you did not get any play on the radio

  • LaLaLaLovely…Soon2B”mRs”…He Proposed To Me!

    I can’t wait for Joe to come back! His song “More and More” will be on my “Wedding Night Love Making CD” and will probably be on repeat! LoL

  • LilVal

    you people are too funny for me. but for real, Joe is cool – leave ‘em alone.

    -v

  • HoneyBrown

    @Re and @Shomondo – so DEAD right now!!! These old white ladies at my job think I’m insane with all this laughter going on!

  • Riley B

    You people are sleeping.

    Go download some of Joe’s tracks and then come back and make a comment.

    Have you ever heard him sing live? He is amazing!

  • P

    joe’s songs are kind of weak. I’m just glad he’s still making music.

  • P

    kelly’s songs are repetitive garbage, a waste of such talent.

  • kiki

    i like Joe. some of the drama i think came from them both recording the same song “More and More”…came out years ago, both recorded a version (i think R. Kelly’s version was on the unreleased Loveland album…bootleg version). R Kelly’s version>>Joe’s version, but still…

  • homie

    Yeah, if Joe feels that way, then why in the hell would he let Kells write songs for him. Kells dropped ‘More and More’ way before Joe even dropped it. So to Chi folks, Joe looked like a damn fool when he dropped it. Kells laced it so much better too. Big ups to Kells!!

  • Me

    I love me some Joe…don’t sleep on him. Go get you some joe in your life and I betcha you’ll change your tune.

  • purepisces

    I still like Joe. He has talent, unlike most of these non-singin folks out here. That said, when you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. You should never ally yourself with shady characters, cuz if they’re shady to others, they’ll screw you over too!! R. Kelly ruins careers for a damn livin.

  • I’m Just Me- JOSHUA ALLEN WON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!! HE AND KANYE CAN SO GET IT!!!! STILL HOOVY AND BUCKY BABY’s #1 STAN!!!!)

    GO JOSHIE BABY YOU WON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE…GO BABY GO BABY….

  • http://myspace.com/ahmadmawia Mustafa

    I believe him sad thing is without promotion he still sells a respectable abount of records and tours consistantly AND YEAH HE IS RELEVANT !

    if you don”t think so your sadly mistaken because r&b does not only consist of teenie boppers and kiddie toucher oops excuse me i mean pissers

  • Ara

    and then….

  • http://deleted CriticXtreme::

    If this is true, it’s wrong as hell! Black folks period need to work together! Tired of this ish!

  • ewok

    i still wont jam r kelly….i don’t care what anybody says. joe has more talent than r.kelly as well. people just don’t see the crazy in dude but it is thee….he has the classic symptoms of someone who ‘terched’ as a kid…..

  • KellsGurl

    @Ms. Trice

    That’s nearly 2 decades, Kells is 18ys. into this game.

  • statim08

    Jealousy ain’t gonna help Joe sell records. Joe left Jive to go to an independent label like Kedar? Well, that simply means there ain’t no major label interested in him. Joe is irrelevant. If Joe has to come out and tell people he’s relevant then he’s obviously not relevant. Yeah Joe, this was a terribly misguided publicity stunt that will inevitably bite back at you and your sorry career.
