the absolutely "Ignition"-free R. Kelly '00s singles poll

step in the name of love

approve of concept

first thought was "feelin on yo booty" which i just loooove, then i noticed kellz' features were here too so now i can't decide between that and "laundromat", with "go getta" as a surprise third contender

"i'm a flirt" is gonna win this

i'm voting for 'feelin on yo booty'

"Fiesta" (Remix) (with Jay-Z and Boo & Gotti)
"Step in the Name of Love"
"Thoia Thoing"

one of these IMO

i would've voted for 'step in the name of love' but i like the remix so better -- "thoia thoing" is dope yeah

i have a spot for his big, sappy ballads - "u saved me" & "world's greatest" etc

actually i change my mind, i believe i can fly

"happy people" is also amazing -- it would be nice if half of these songs just didn't exist

my favorite feature is "we thuggin"

The "Step in the Name of Love" single and video were for the remix tho, right?

top 10:
Step In The Name Of Love
I'm A Flirt
Laundromat
Same Girl
Contagious
We Thuggin
I Wish
Trapped In The Closet
Honey
In The Kitchen

bottom 10:
Hair Braider
Playas Only
Supaman High
Rock Star
Speedin
Slow Wind
Hotel
Gangsta Girl
Burn It Up
Gigolo

"aw girl please" my ass <3 <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSYYw69yx84

"oh girl, quit playin, i'm the only thing you got"
"you're the only thing i got? well then i must not have a lot"

yeah the "Step" in this poll is the remix, forgot to mark it that way to be clear

There is a gravestone maker's near me called R. Kelly's Monumental Works btw

lol that would totally be the name of this thread if i'd seen that

poll is worthless cuz OP confuses "Ignition" with "Ignition (remix)", two very distinct and different songs imo.

my challops "ignition" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "ignition (remix)"

give or take about 10 >s

i love that video

shasta we all are aware of the differences b/w "ignition" and "ignition (remix)" and which one the thread title refers to

also ship agrees w/ u wrt "igntion" & the rmx

yeah w/e step in the name of love iirc

thaaaaaaat's
________ thaaaaaaat
___________________ shit!

rilly doe

yeah i love love love the original "Ignition" but if I made that the option and not the remix I think it would just confuse matters and a lot of people would vote for it thinking of the remix

Step in the Name of Love (Remix) is too damn good, but driving around Chicago the summer Trapped was coming out, waiting for WGCI to play the next part, and listening to people call in and talk about it is for sure one of my favorite music experiences of the decade. So I dunno.

yeah same here -- kinda bitter about the direction "Trapped" took both artistically and in terms of public reception, but for a minute it was so exciting

*food* stains, *dirty* drawes!

jordan otm about "the world's greatest" btw

there was a great soca remix of "i'm a flirt" but it's not on youtube ;_;

"Laundromat" is so perfect that I honestly have no idea if it could be improved if the female parts were sung by a decent vocalist (or even someone who didn't pronounce the title like "laundrymat")

Laundrom@tt

ok that soca remix has apparently completely disappeared from the internet so here it is

r. kelly ft. t-pain & lady saw - i'm a flirt (dj obsession soca remix)

I GOT MY APPLE MARTINI
I'M WEARIN THAT PERLA BIKINI

first thought was "feelin on yo booty" which i just loooove, then i noticed kellz' features were here too so now i can't decide between that and "laundromat"

^^ haha those were my gut picks, too!

starting to get optimistic that this will get more votes than R. KELLY 2003 POLL or R. KELLY 2007 POLL :)

I think my second-tier gut picks are "Thoia Thoing" and, umm, "The World's Greatest"

If it's the remix, then "In the Kitchen," hands down. But I love about 90% of the songs in this poll.

Was the Neva Like This Remix of "So Sexy" every released as a proper single? Because that might be second place.

it was! i totally forgot about that and should've made it an option. really i should've had an 'other' option anyway.

i would say either/or with the "In the Kitchen" original and remix, but then i love them both

R. Kelly's the type of artist that could make half of his albums singles, yet his albums are usually about 25% garbage, unfortunately. (50% incredible, 25% good, 25% terrible).

For instance, of all the tracks on Double Up, I have no idea why the horrendous "Rock Star" was released as a single.

yeah..."Hook It Up" would've been such an awesome single

Actually, it's usually less than that. More like 15% of the album ends up being terrible.

On Unfinished Business, both "Feelin' On Your Stereo" and "Pretty Girls" could have been singles.

poll drastically lacking "N Luv Wit A Strippa"

I MUST BE
THE FIRST MAN
TO FALL IN LOVE
_______________WITH AN ASS!
gonna go down on one knee and ask that ass to marry me

i have a spot for his big, sappy ballads - "u saved me" & "world's greatest" etc

cosign, these are my favorites. I Wish Remix (to all the homies that we lost) is my favorite FAVORITE, some of the saddest best stuff ever ("Why'd you have to get hit?/Where was I? What time was it?") & "U Saved Me" the first time I heard it on the radio fucked me up so bad I almost had to pull over. I think "the World's Greatest" is such a wonderful song & that probably gets my vote here.

oh man I haven't listened to this song in a long time. so fucking great. "And remember when you and me would say/We'd get up out this 'hood and everything would be ok?" this is one of those songs that when I'm listening to it, it's incomprehensible to me that anybody could not feel it

Top 10:
Step In The Name Of Love
Laundromat
Snake
I'm A Flirt
U Saved Me
Happy People
Feelin' On You Booty
The World's Greatest
Trapped In The Closet
In The Kitchen

Feelin' on Yo Booty also

remixes would have 2 be a separate poll (also "Ignition"-free)

"Thoia Thoing" u sons of bitches cmon

this is impossible

Would go for "When A Woman's Fed Up" if it was '00s (instead of '98/'99); as is, I'll take "Step In The Name Of Love" over "Fiesta (Remix)" and "Thoia Thong."

I'm a Flirt (remix)

I did not know happy summertime was not a single

Um... His best single of the decade - "A Woman's Threat" - is inexplicably missing from this poll so I voted for the Step Rmx...

it's inexplicably missing from kelly's singles discography on wikipedia, too - probably not a coincidence

"the world's greatest," but i probably would have voted for either "the greatest sex" or "been around the world" if they'd actually been singles

The World's Greatest
Step in the Name of Love
U Saved Me
I'm A Flirt (Remix)
Thoia Thoing
Happy People
Fiesta
Go Getta
Feelin' On Yo Booty
We Thuggin

i think

"Step in the Name of Love" over "I'm a Flirt"

Am I the only one who loves "Snake"?

nah, I'd top-ten Snake

"like two gorillas in the JUUUUUUUUUUNGLE.... making love"

Am I the only one who loves "Snake"?

No. But I wouldn't top 10 it. To wit:

"In the Kitchen (Remix)"
"Happy People"
"Step In the Name of Love (Remix)"
"I'm a Flirt (Remix)"
"So Sexy (Neva Like This Remix)"
"I Wish"
"Feelin' On Yo Booty (Remix)''
"Laundromat"
"U Saved Me"
"Trapped In the Closet"

And album tracks would make the list even wilder: "Sex Planet," "The Zoo," "Real Talk," "Leave a Message," "I Love the DJ," "Happy Summertime," "Chocolate Factory," "Imagine That," "Be My #2," "Bangin' the Headboard," "I Like Love."

top 10

"Step in the Name of Love" <------ remix obv
"Contagious" (The Isley Brothers featuring R. Kelly & Chante Moore)
"I'm a Flirt (Remix)" (featuring T.I. and T-Pain)
"In the Kitchen" <----------- remix again
"Trapped in the Closet"
"Slow Wind" (featuring Sean Paul and Akon) <----only version I've heard is R. by himself, somehow adding those guests sounds like a bad idea
"Laundromat"(Nivea featuring R. Kelly)
"So Sexy" (Twista featuring R. Kelly)
"Burn It Up" (featuring Wisin & Yandel)
"Guilty Until Proven Innocent" (Jay-Z featuring R. Kelly)

i love "snake" - at the time i loved it v vocally due to it being a way way way superior follow-up to "ignition"

Um... His best single of the decade - "A Woman's Threat" - is inexplicably missing from this poll so I voted for the Step Rmx...

yeah i really apologize for this -- i LOVE "Woman's Threat" and kept looking at the list of TP2 singles on wiki thinking "that's really short, I know that album had a ton of singles" but since that stuff is kinda on the borderline w/ the 90s i didn't think of that song in particular being missing

btw the list at the top of this thread will be exhibit A if any of you the-dream stans ever gets out of line enough to suggest that little homey has even half as many jams as his idol

Naw, he doesn't. He is a lot more focused than his idol, though.

not sure if i want to agree or parse the meaning of "focused" here

I think it just means The-Dream is never going to do something like "Trapped In The Closet"...?

you're saying it doesn't take focus to write an intricately plotted 22-part story song?

I don't really see it as a "song" as much as a "cry for help" but I don't want to have that argument again.

fair enough I just don't think that's a good example to point out of him not being "focused"

Probably; I have never seen/heard the whole thing so I should have left it alone.

oh god I gave up somewhere after the first 12 chapters, after being pretty excited about the first 5, whole thing kinda depressing to think about now

Sorry, that was vague. I just meant he has a higher jam-to-nonjam ratio, but of course R. Kelly's inconsistent prolifacy is part of his appeal. To interpret the word "focused" differently, R.'s compositions tend to be more focused than Terius', but the latter's compulsively sprawling arrangements are part of his own appeal, so no real value judgements to be drawn.

Depends if we're talking about as songwriters or performers, I think. The-Dream's solo material is pretty consistent but his stuff as a writer varies pretty wildly.

if love king is as good as 'love/hate' & 'love vs money' & he actually stops making solo albums, you could make a good argument that his discography is 'better' than kelly's

he won't have the sheer number of songs, but yeah he also won't have the sheer number of stinkbombs, provided that dream doesn't make that album w/ kanye

wtf i dont get ppl who hate on walking on the moon like at all

i know i pretty much asked for it upthread but j0rdan that is a horseshit argument. read the list at the top of the thread again.

3 CDs of R.'s best songs would murder Terius's albums no contest

wtf i dont get ppl who hate on walking on the moon like at all

― plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, February 2, 2010 4:24 PM (1 minute ago)

lol did anyone mention this?

xp al jordan was saying that terius has fewer low points, which i'd agree with if love king is as good as the first two

right but arguments don't work like that unless youre forksclovetofu and you vote for youtube videos

i mean, yes, in practice i agree with you al, but i'm talking rigid semantic argument here -- nerd shit with rules, like... or else my #1 vote in p&j would've been "Gucci Mane - Mix CD That I Made So I Could Listen in My Car" cuz that's really my favorite album of 09 and the one i listened to most

i'm not saying a cherrypicked R. Kelly mix is a better album than The-Dream's albums -- I'm saying he has like 50 songs that are on par with or better than anything on his albums

i thought j0rdan invoking the ghost of kanye present was a dig @ wotm but maybe it wasnt

no there were rumors about a full-on dream/kanye collab album. that said besides "let me see the booty," "walkin on the moon" is my least favorite song on LVM, tho i still like it a lot

I mean I get that The-Dream is on some level a more album-oriented artist than R. (although it's definitely arguable that Chocolate Factory or Twelve Play is better than his albums, it's not like every album he's made is a poorly sequenced mess), but I don't think the hit-to-miss ratio is actually that different.

also i love let me see the booty!!!

Depends if we're talking about as songwriters or performers, I think. The-Dream's solo material is pretty consistent but his stuff as a writer varies pretty wildly.

dude and when the chorus finally hits it's like the most cathartic rush, he puts it off for SO LONG at first you forget until you re-listen

Why has no one mentioned "Skin"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4J16UhY5qk

Those strings, and the intro in general... too good.

That version of "4th Quarter" was actually pretty sweet.

have i said "singles artist of the decade" yet? really might be.

personally i might take usher

or t.i. or luda

ciara

i think missy is probably the correct answer

half her top-tier singles were in the 90s tho...

i love her post- miss... e singles

are her albums too good to be considered a singles artist of the decade or does it not matter?

her under construction singles are awesome, it's after that it gets a little dodgy (though i don't reeeaally mind "pass that dutch").

beyoncé? rihanna?

hate so many beyonce singles, rihanna is up there

also chris brown

chris might be top 5 for me

missy and chris brown imo shouldn't be in the conversation because each only really had hits in 1/2 of the decade. usher's 00s catalog is kinda short, long breaks in between. kells had consistent classics and quality cuts throughout the whole 10 years. t.i. and luda are arguable, although luda has had loooong fallow periods.

yeah, i think t.i. > luda

& usher def has the 'quality' over 'quantity' thing

lol not sure why i scare quoted there...

beyonce & t.i. are contenders imo, def not chris brown

beyonce had two good albums of singles & her third album was just an increasingly shitty stream of singles -- same for chris brown pretty much but i like his two albums of singles better

forget the albums, i'd happily take beyonce's top 10 against CB's, who has like 3 good singles afaic

oh god it's not even close

right ;)

anyway do we not have a beyonce singles poll?

at least you could take 10 beyonce singles and not have to take anything from sasha fierce

you're insane

you're gonna defend "if i were a boy", "diva", "halo", "sweet dreams", "video phone (remix)" and "broken hearted girl"? those are a third of her singles

hmm i see you've conveniently left a certain one out there

anyway i love "halo" and "if i were a boy", plus "ego" & "sweet dreams" are good too

anyway i love "halo" and "if i were a boy"

this is suggest ban material in my book :-)

NOT THAT I WOULD EVER

anyway i wanna see you come up with ten breezy joints to stand up to b's

we won't even include destiny's child's later singles

beyonce:

crazy in love, baby boy, single ladies, irreplaceable, get me bodied, ego, check on it (i like nothing else)

chris brown:

run it, yo, gimme that, say goodbye, kiss kiss, forever, with you, take you down, poppin, i can transform ya

gimme that & poppin would be the rmxs that radio played

beyonce songs i actively dislike: me myself and i, naughty girl, beautiful liar, diva, halo, sweet dreams, broken hearted girl

chris brown songs i actively dislike: wall to wall, crawl, superhuman

beyonce:

deja vu, get me bodied, suga mama, upgrade u, ring the alarm, kitty kat, freakum dress, green light, irreplaceable, resentment

(not singles but i don't even care)

well since we're arguing about singles artists we don't even care about your post

"ralph nader is my president, i don't even care"

it's more important to me to stan for b-day than to be a part of your conversation

alright, ttyl

so i wanna do a bey singles poll but don't really know what to include, cuz didn't like every song from b'day have a video? some dude i pass the challenge onto you

could just do a bday poll tbh

or i mean crazy in love v single ladies

actually i can take care of that

wait neither of those is on b'day and neither would win a general poll imo

fu

filx

i mean i dunno they'd both be top 3 or 5 but i wouldn't underestimate "get me bodied" or "irreplaceable"

just i mean guh

get me bodied is like some foreign object ilx has lodged in its colon

ring the alarm is better srsly RING THE ALARM

poll time

why cant we hav ranked polls srsly WHY should only take like 10 mins to code

^yeah

beyonce had two good albums of singles & her third album was just an increasingly shitty stream of singles -- same for chris brown pretty much but i like his two albums of singles better

this is funny to me because i hate the first 3 sasha fierce singles but love the last 5 (including "halo" and "sweet dreams" and "video phone").

as is obvious at this point i only find "single ladies" and "ego" redeemable -- i like "video phone" a lot and wish they would've released it earlier & i don't like the rmx as much

gaga's part on "video phone," bad as it is, doesn't take up as much of its runtime as kanye's horrible droning "ego" verse, and i don't really let either ruin the song for me

anyway "sweet dreams" is pretty killer imo, don't know what you could have against that even given your tedder vendetta getting in the way of "halo"

i've never heard the kanye remix, even when i made the poll about kanye's guest verses -- everyone spoke so ill of it that i decided to not even see what the fuss was about

haha, yeah idk, i just kind of dislike the melody in the chorus idk. i have no real defensible reason.

j0rdan u are nuts, bro

i think my distaste of a lot of the beyonce discography has been made clear before -- i forget which thread it was a few months ago

CB hasn't released a better than average single since "Yo"

i totally agree (not counting "No Air"), but it's Chinatown for me as far as people thinking he's some kind of amazing singles artist -- iirc even Dom was some kind of crazy CB booster

not really one to listen to lyrics but that part on 'u saved me' where he claims god saved the dude from cancer really grates on me

Oh, right. I wasn't counting "No Air" either, but I do rep for that track.

i forgot about "no air too, & i think he's really key to that song

ugh the idea of CB's singles catalog standing up the R. Kelly list on this thread. sickening.

just for the record, i would not put the breezy collection in the top 5, most likely the outer reaches of the top 10

(i forgot sean paul who is a top 5 lock)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

pretty agreeable results if you ask me

yeah predictable in a good way, great turnout too

sometimes i don't really get why people like one record out of a particular pattern/formula he does several songs in, though...like why "Thoia Thoing" over "Snake," or "Happy People" over "Step"?

agreeable results, wanted "i wish" to make a better showing tho :(

who voted for "echo"?

i think you mean "who voted for 'supaman high'"

oh right yikes

"echo" isn't bad tho

lotta songs called "echo" in the past year or so, all of which some person or another gets excited about and i don't understand why

echo is good

i wouldnt vote for it here, but its def a great kells song

yeah, at first i thought the yodeling was on the wrong side of r. kelly being crazy, but it's hard not to submit to the ridiculousness of the whole thing

whats impressive abt it to me is that he makes it seem not-ridiculous even tho it objectively is

More Poll Fail:

"Bump n' Grind" is a song written, produced and performed by R&B musician R. Kelly. It was the second single released from his first solo album 12 Play in 1994. The track became Kelly's only number one single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (temporarily interrupting the six-week run of Ace of Base's "The Sign") as a solo artist, and it also spent twelve weeks at number one on the U.S. Hot R&B Songs chart, becoming the longest-running number-one U.S. R&B single at that time. The song also reached number eight in the UK charts, following the massive success of his previous single, "She's Got That Vibe" (which was actually a re-release).

The song is featured in the movies Without A Paddle and The Wackness.

In 2008, it was featured in "Grand Theft Auto IV's" fictional Soul/R&B radio station The Vibe 98.8.

00s dude

but it was on the GTA IV soundtrack! 2000s single after all!

'shasta' should be shorthand for being pedantic and wrong at the same time

looool

haha @ me, but i was singing this song on the way home tonight and then this thread showed up on new answers and i'm like why the fuck is THAT song missing too...

only goose eggs i'm sad don't have one huge fan is "snake" and maybe "playa's only"

agree on "snake", think "we thuggin", "religious", "same girl" and "u saved me" deserved votes too

the more i look at this discography the more i think "goddamn how does anyone give a shit about ignition (remix)"

when i went back over it this week weirdly the one that i got stuck on a bit was "the world's greatest" - the gospel choir <3 <3

i also discovered to my displeasure that i seem only to have clean versions of the "feelin' on yo booty" dirty south remix and the "fiesta" remix, and that explicit versions are oddly hard to come by - yes this is a hint to other people on this thread

its cb

what's the first instance of kells using that drip-drop (bass?) sound?

Do we have a 90s kelly poll? i'd be v. interested in seeing how one would go.

Trapped im The Closet is so good

pretty sure the first drip-drop song was the original "Ignition," unless I'm forgetting something from TP2.com

R. Kelly isn't exactly the first to use the drip-drop

i assume that's why jordan specified "the first instance of kells using" it.

keep it on the down lowwwwwwwww

might be my fav 90s kells

really disappointed I was the only one who voted for "Skin"

it's obv just omnipresent in his mid-decade work, so i was just wondering

man R. Kelly on shuffle in iTunes is amazing -- just went from "Ignition" to "I'm A Flirt," and I'm lining the "In The Kitchen" remix up next just to keep shit at this level

HERE WE ARE, IN THIS KITCHEN, KITCHEN

SEXIN' EACH OTHER FROM FEET TO HEAD

NOW, SOME FOLKS MAY RAISE THE QUESTION

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST GET A BED

THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' WRONG

WITH US IN THE KITCHEN GETTIN' IT ON

what would in an r kelly 00s album poll?

i'm guessing Chocolate Factory or TP2.com but tbh the pool of potential voters is prolly so small it'd be like the Mariah albums poll where something totally unexpected wins by a negligible margin

yeah -- some days this guys music is total utopia

hey yall

anyone wanna send me an "in the kitchen" rmx mp3?

<3

http://www.sendspace.com/file/65tgd3

btw i got ur email, ill talk to her tomorrow when im at work

ha, cool -- thanks <3

so i've been playing out 'tp-2.com' a bunch this past week -- i think it's equally as good as 'chocolate factory' -- not as cohesive or sonically consistent as CF & doesn't have anything as strong as the ignitions or the step in the name of loves -- but tracks like "strip for you", r&b thug" (such a timbo bite, but good!), "i decided" & "i wish (remix)" are monster album cuts

top 3 basically otm

NOOOO MORE CRYIN
NOOOOONE A' YOUR LYIN

My vote today would be for the (egregiously excluded) "Shawty is da Shit" remix.

oh man, kells did a few mins of "ignition" & "step in the name of love (rmx)" w/ the roots as a web exclusive for fallon

IF I WERE A BOY ft R KELLY REMIX YES

can't believe i just realized the humor of "just soon as she go to the bathroom playa ima holla at her" from 'im a flirt'

I feel like that Chappelle's show sketch really opened up a reevaluation of Kelly's past and future lyrics :)

it's "just as soon as you go to the bathroom..."

no it's not
