(continued)

I remember being at the sound check for an R. Kelly concert in New Orleans in the mid-90s. He finally shows up - hours late - in a stretch limo with body guards (although no one was around who was interested in bothering him), gets up on stage, opens his pants and starts choking the chicken. After being told that was not appropriate, he left in a snit and refused to return. The concert promoters were most unhappy - they'd paid him a $40,000 cash advance (if I remember the amount correctly), which he refused to pay back. He left town with the money and never did perform. There are a lot of people who can sing and write songs a lot better than R. Kelly. I have no idea why anyone would champion this guy.

It's also disgusting that he's STILL seen hanging out around Chicago schools for young groupies.

Jeez...I saw the tape 6 years ago. It was him. The girl was a baby. Clearly! The tape is sick, and if the jury could not convict him on all that evidence, then the jury was full of a bunch of idiots. I'm black and I feel like justice was not served. Fuckity Fuck Fuck.
