The Audacity of Trey Songz




I was doing a daily tenure in and out today when I hit a snag post. I had to questioned this:

“When do young R&B singers start to talk about the older R&B singers who have paved a style for them to come up on?”

This is what Trey Songz did to Mr. Pied Piper AKA Mr. Pee-on-you AKA R. Kelly and Aaron Hall. Here is what Trey Songz said about Kells.



....here is the song,



……..and here is his clarification,


Okay here is R. Kelly response.



Alright, now listening to both sides of the story; I am agreeing with R. Kelly on both sides. As much bad as he have done (the peeing incident on the young girl, the interview talking about has young teens on your team (not as a mentoring)), he did paved the way for R&B singers to express themselves from the 90s and beyond. I’m mean here is a kid (can’t call him a young man because he doesn’t deserve that title after that rant) telling a grown man what he need to do. I don’t know who Trey Songz is but as singer, his game either needs to step up on his next album or those words are going to come back to haunt him. I think Trey is good talent but leave the fan stuff for us to worry about. You might have the U.S. still listening to “Successful,” but everybody in the world will always remember “I Believe I Can Fly.”

So Note to Trey: “R&B singers can’t be rappers unless you can back it up.”
