I read a post recently by DJ Stylus where he said that he refuses requests to play R. Kelly while he’s spinning. He based it on how he felt about R. Kelly’s troubles with the law and his fondness for young girls. Now while I understood how he felt, I also thought that it was a little harsh. After all, music is music. No one stopped playing Michael Jackson because he liked little boys. We didn’t stop listening to Whitney Houston because she smoked crack and we also loved Biggie although he sold it. I personally don’t look at the personal lives of artists to enjoy their art. If we did, we probably wouldn’t look at any paintings or listen to any music because we all know that artists tend to have pretty messed up lifestyles or desires.

That said, while I was thinking of these things the idea of R. Kelly as the King of the Remix began to form in my head. As I went through my mental discography, I kept coming up with more hits done by the R. Of course I put them all together and this mixtape was born. Say what you want but R. Kelly consistently gives us good music. Well good in my eyes. Sure most of it has x-rated lyrics or sexual undertones…but that’s what we’ve always loved about him right?  Well these are some of my favorites:
