Vince Staples Absolutely Trashing R. Kelly Last Year At Coachella For Being An Illiterate Child Molester Piece Of Shit Who Pees On Young Girls And Runs A Child Trafficking Ring
Last night was the premiere of Surviving R. Kelly, a three part mini series documentary on Lifetime attempting to expose R. Kelly for the serial rapist Pedophile that he appears to be. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, these sort of allegations aren’t a surprise. Everyone knows that R. Kelly is a fucking CREEP show. Big time Harvey Weinstein situation where we all hear the rumors that appear to be way more than rumors, we all are pretty sure where there’s smoke there’s fire, and despite it all we’re all content to just laugh at Chappelle’s skit about him peeing on little girls and we’re all still gonna that “toot toot” and that “beep beep” while we’re rolling our bodies listening to the remix to Ignition. Pretty fucking sick world we all were partaking in.
Welp, not Vince Staples. Suffice it to say Vince Staples was not interested in turning a blind eye to R. Kelly constantly having sex with teenage girls. A lot of people turned down the request to be in the documentary. From Dave Chappelle to Jay Z, anyone who has any sort of business or connection with R. Kelly. Most of them turned it down, so as to not get involved in a complicated situation. John Legend had no problem being a part of a documentary to take him down:
But Vince Staples has been on that “fuck Pedophile rapists” tip wayyyy before it was trendy. It’s only just now becoming cool to try to stop R. Kelly from fucking, marrying, impregnating, urinating, filming, kidnapping and trafficking children. Vince Staples was doing that before it was cool:
I’ve always very much been a guy who can separate the art, or the product, or the performance, from the actual person creating it. I’ve cheered for athletes on my teams who have had domestic violence cases against them. I’ve bumped Chris Brown’s music. There’s a lot of times where I acknowledge that someone is a criminal or a piece of shit but still just separately enjoyed their work. For the longest time that was the case with R. Kelly. Songs like Ignition and the Slow Wind remix have simply been too much fire, and the allegations are removed enough from impacting my daily life that I just didn’t think twice about it. And about a bazillion other people thought the same way I did. But that all changed when I watched the documentary because of how it explained that’s EXACTLY what allowed R. kelly to skate by. I mean it’s no secret that if you perform, you get a free pass. You get a lot more slack. Like Al Davis said, Just Win Baby. But this was the first time I really questioned separating the art from the artist, specifically because of how blatant it was and how cocky he was flaunting it in front of everyone’s face. I mean he called himself the Pied Piper, which is literally a character that uses music to lure children wherever he wanted. He forged documents to marry Aaliyah after knocking her up at the age of 15, and Aaliyah’s first album was called Age Aint Nothin But A Number. Her first single was about a young girl trying to prove to an older man she was mature enough to fuck him. They made appearances like this on TV:

Thats a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL!!! Imagine right now if Millie Bobbie Brown was making appearances on Ellen with Drake, and Ellen was like “Sooooo whats the deal??? You two fuckin or what?” while Drake sat there all coy and cocky basically being like “Yup you know the deal.” Imagine today, in 2019 if this was an answer you gave on a televised interview:
Are you goddam kidding me?? This is like when OJ was talking in hypotheticals about “IF” I had killed those people. Completely nuts. I think thats whats different about R. Kelly from all the other truly heinous scumbags in sports and entertainment – he was hiding in plain sight and so so fucking cocky about it that it makes me feel like a fucking idiot and a fool for pulling a Chappelle and doing the old “But he made Ignition, man.” The documentary laid out how “I Believe I Can Fly” was so popular, so powerful, and so uplifting that it convinced people he was a good person. That song was everywhere from kindergarten graduations to childrens movies to Hot 97 and the top of the Hip Hop and R&B Charts. And the consensus amongst the subjects in the documentary was that specific song gave him enough slack and enough cover to go head and violate teenage girls. Deplorable. Abhorrent. I’m not gonna be a dramatic asshole and pretend that me not listening to Ignition anymore is gonna make a difference. I’m not gonna be cracking jokes about R. Kelly when his tiny TV goes viral and when we wrap up radio today I won’t be quoting him saying “Its the freakin weekend baby I’m about to have me some some fun.” Its not gonna make a literal difference, but I’m just saying that its pretty apparent that loving a couple hit songs of his enabled him to allegedly abuse and defile many, many young girls, and thats fucked. The dude should be canceled, his career should be over, and his freedom should be taken away. And the next time that theres overwhelming allegations and evidence of violence or assault or some other horrendous crime from a famous person, I hope we use the R. Kelly case study to remind ourselves how NOT to behave – how NOT to be a collective piece of shit society.
