So recently there's been some buzz goin' on about this beef between the "King Of R&B" R. Kelly and the gunner for the throne, Trey Songz. Songz had some words to say to Kellz because of his mixtape release that was 100% auto tune. Not to mention the mixtape was released a week after the song by Jay-Z, D.O.A (Death Of Autotune). Don't get it twisted though, Trey is close w/ Kellz and was inspired by him musically. He was just highly disappointed that the Pied Piper hopped on the autotune wagon. Here's a little bit of what Trey had to say about the autotuned Kellz:
"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. I just want R. Kelly back..."
