R. Kelly Talks The Current State Of R&B

XXL Magazine (Taiia Smart Young) interviewed R. Kelly for their September “Street Issue” to discuss his creative process in today’s R&B world. Which, is basically dominated by artists that used him for inspiration, when they were coming up. Kellz revealed that he’s working on THREE new albums (Epic, Love Letter & Zodiac) and detailed that the new material is basically him “remixing himself.”

Are You Happy With The Current State Of R&B?

In some ways yes and in some ways no. The music is great. The talent is great. My suggestions to those guys is do your music, have fun and be happy with it. You don’t have to talk about another artist and get in their business and talk them down for you to come up….it will never work. It’s like putting perfume on spit.
