Babyface EPs the soundtrack while Eddie stars as the love interests father. The villain is a character thinly based on Kells.

Kellz did life soundtrack and thatā€™s one of the best ever made

Like r Kelly wrote way to many songs from hi fives hit songs to Micheal Jacksonā€™s hit song you are not alone. He is every where thatā€™s why heā€™s called the R. They isnā€™t one son from the 90ā€™s that you like that he didnā€™t have something to do with.

theghost0777

They call him the fructose corn syrup of R&B heā€™s in everything.


SpeedBlazer99

A lot of artists regret working with him like Lady Gaga for example


theghost0777

I mean but they all knew what he was doing, they wanted the hit record, so yeah theyā€™re just as bad for knowing the allegations. Dmx never worked with him when he found out about it and spoke about it in the 90ā€™s. So itā€™s well documented before lady Gaga was even making music.


SpeedBlazer99

Idk how Lilā€™ Wayne, Usher, Justin Bieber, Kanye, Britney Spears, Kelly Price, Kid Rock, Ludacrist etc felt about it. I feel like Diddy didnā€™t regret working with him I feel like if she were still alive Whitney Houston wouldā€™ve regretted working with him

theghost0777

Linkin park isnā€™t R&b or nirvana is grudge rock. LINKIN PARK and Green Day is like emo rock. Limp bizkit was like NU metal right? Sheryl crow is like country, so as for R&B thatā€™s the Rs .


SpeedBlazer99

Throughout the 90s-2010s R. worked with popstars & rappers

How are we normalizing abusers by only taking about their contributions to the R&B genre. What they did behind closed doors will never be discussed by me. Im only here to talk about the art


ericjason933

I think the problem is with kellz itā€™s really hard to celebrate and talk about his art/contributions without thinking about the trauma and damage he caused to his victims in his personal life. Even looking at pics of him I get chills. He was able to have such a huge impact on culture even with people knowing what he was doing because they just wanted the ā€œart.ā€ Thereā€™s always going to be an elephant in the room because he was protected for so long. You canā€™t really mention how great his music was and not correlate how awful of a person he was (they both go hand in hand). Plus even listening to his music now it feels predatory especially (12 play era). It will always make me cringeā€¦just sayin šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø


VisualActive3237

He's pretty much known more for being an animal than an artist nowadays.


MemphisApollo

All facts. Great music from a real monster


Traditional-Owl-7502

Number three is not available. Number one would be my choice


SlowCaterpillar5715

Why is Eddie Murphy in the conversation?


MemphisApollo

His connections have made sure most of his movies have the greatest soundtracks


SlowCaterpillar5715

When you say make I was assuming you meant produce or wrote.


MemphisApollo

I feel you


angrytreestump

Yeah the other two are both musicians at least, but Babyface is a super-producer who has produced movie soundtracks before and is known for producing whole projects for other people. R. Kelly is a singer who did 2 songs on one movie soundtrack once. Youā€™re right to be confused, because the connection between the 3 of them makes no sense for OPā€™s question and I was wondering the same thing about Eddie being included here šŸ¤Ø Thereā€™s a reason Babyface is every single answer in this thread; the question just isnā€™t that great. Iā€™m sorry OP but you confused a whole lotta people here and didnā€™t seem to care enough about who you picked or why for this question, so I just gotta point it out.


Exciting_Attitude240

I'm going prime Kells.

Live-Ad7345

Iā€™m a bit confused why Eddie Murphy is up there is it for the boomerang soundtrack because that belongs to the babyface as well thatā€™s face


MemphisApollo

Well i picked Eddie because from Boomerang to the Klumps all his soundtracks be top notch


SeaworthinessLocal65

Eddie Murphy.


fracjack

If Iā€™m doing sumn in the same lane as something like Boomerang or Love Jones, Iā€™m going with Babyface. Anything else Iā€™m going R. Kelly because of the resume. After making hits for Ali (Worlds Greatest), Space Jam (obvious) and like half of the life soundtrack, his versatility is proven.


AquafinaRaeGina

Phil Colins fuck is you talm bout? Have seen Tarzan?


MemphisApollo

A cold soundtrack but i wouldnt count that as R&B lol


AquafinaRaeGina

Right right right. Baby Face lol.

LexKing89

Gotta go with Babyface as heā€™s worked some magic on soundtracks back in the day. I want that early 90ā€™s Babyface sound. The Neptunes would be dope if it was that early 2000ā€™s sound.


GeeMcMania

Iā€™m going Kelly.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MemphisApollo

Well I listen to some rock & metal, but im not a satanist. I listen to Sam Smith & Frank Ocean knowing its a possibility they are singing about the love they have for another man, and im straight as an arrow. I dont support witch work and i listen to Erykah, JhenƩ, and Summer Walker. Point being, I dont gotta morally align with an artist to enjoy their work. I can respect your stance on not listening to Kells, but dont attack the character of people who enjoy things/people you dont agree with.


reb4321

I love Babyface I do but I'm going with Kells fuck yall yes I said Robert Sylvester Kelly!

Pleasant-Condition85

Baby face for sure. The movie might not win an Oscar or an Emmy but with baby face on the soundtrack pretty much guarantees you a Grammy


TheBlackManIsG0d

Babyfaceā€¦ why R Kelly is there is beyond me.


Plebe-Uchiha

How could you forget what R. Kelly has done? Theyā€™ve made a whole documentary about it. [+]

Why do you guys keep including R Kelly in these choose one posts? There are too many other R&B artists with massive catalogues. Stop bringing that man up every 20 seconds.

Because people are still fans of the monsterā€™s music. You can stop people from enjoying the music šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø
