"R. Kelly - Hair Braider"
R. Kelly Is Back With A New Track Entitled - Hair Braider. Now That Photo Makes Sense! Now, don't be expect a good write up, I do not like R. Kelly, while I think he used to make amazing music, I have disliked him ever since that 'thing' with Aaliyah, who is probably my favourite artist of all time. However, at first, I was with the party who said, 'innocent until proven guilty' & 'lets keep the music & the controversy separate'. That's until Kells started putting out crap, Hair Braid...

"R. Kelly - Hair Braider" (Video)
Original at Urban Review
• Fri, Apr 25
By www.urbanreview.co.uk R. Kelly seems to me to be out of control, someone close to him needs to slap him round the face & tell him to get it together. Although not confirmed, it seems that Hair Braider will serve as the début single from Kell's new album - 12 Play Fourth Quarter. R. Kelly - Hairbraider The video is pretty standard, R. Kelly has never really been a master of music videos, however with a song like this, maybe he should have upped his game with the imagery. Kelly seems intent on copying T-Pain rather badly, instead of expressing any musical charisma or creativity. At this time in his career, he should be less worried about growing a stupid beard & be more concerned with his lack of relevance in today's music, Kells used to be an innovator! [read the full post]
