'R. Kelly, 'Shut Up': Singer Vs. Tonsil Surgery Haters (VIDEO)

Alright, who told R. Kelly he's washed up, lost it, aint got it no more? Said he was done, there's no way this time he's gonna overcome? Anyone? No one? Doesn't matter! You're wrong!

Since the emergency tonsil surgery you said spelled the end for R. (But did you? We looked everywhere online and couldn't find one person who did), he's recovered with a song in hand that defies your haterating. So far the track, which R. posted as a Twitvid today, is identified only by the header, "It's been a long time coming but I finally feel a lot better about my throat..." Yes, that would be a great title. But our money's on it turning into either "Shut Up," which he keeps telling us to tell haters to do, or "OMG," for this part:

"Let's be honest. How many baby's been made off me?...Oh. Em. Gee."

How many babies have been made off R. Kelly? Actually, how to make babies off a person, full stop? Is R. Kelly a human gas-lit stove and are babies quesadillas??? There are a lot of questions wrapped into this track, like there would be in a baby burrito. But the real point is, his voice sounds great. Thank you haters, thank you R., thank you confluence of circumstances for this new baby quesadilla called "Shut Up" (slash "It's Been A Long Time Coming But I Finally Feel A Lot Better About My Throat").

There's a;ready a song about having your tonsils removed. When I was a kid, back in the 50s, there was a 78 rmp record you could buy with a single song on it, "Peter Ponsil and His Tonsil".

Two stories above you are trying to drum up some controversy about Tarantino making a joke. And here we have you promoting the new song of artist who videoed himself urinating on a 14 year old girl. Your outrage cannon needs recalibrating, huffpo.

When in doubt, especially in scary situation…anybody can get sensitive. That’s what happened here and the output is kind of silly…it misses one of the ground rules of fighting… “You can’t fight if you don’t know who you’re fighting and if you know who…just fight only them and not the world.”

His past involvement in child molestation charges was deplorable and sick, and so are those that never forgive and forget.

Notwithstanding his transgressions, that was the most melodic insult I've ever heard.

Is this not the same man that had repeated sexual encounters with his 14 year old 'god daughter?'

He is no less despicable than Jerry Sandusky!!! Please stop giving these PEDOPHILES press and air time. Just let them fade away into pervert obscurity.

With autotune software, even britney spears sounds like she can sing.

If he uses autotune, he doesn't need much of it. The guy really can sing.

[Benjamin J Grimm III]

Can he still_urinate_on _underage_girls? If so, then he can still do what he is famous for.
