The Josh Innes Show - R. Kelly New Music

Episode Date: March 12, 2025

Apparently there is a new R. Kelly song and people are debating if it's AI or if he actually recorded this in prison. The gist of this episode centers around living your gimmick. Look at people like Angel Reese. They all want to be big and bad until people are critical...then they enjoy playing victim. Let Draymond Green be your guide...this dude never breaks his A-Hole character and I kind of respect it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

No, I got a very nice piece of advice from one of our listeners that listens to the pod every day and will DM me and send me messages. We're buddies. And he's like, you know, you can't change the way the dipshits on the Internet feel about things. So why do you let it bother you? Essentially was the gist of his comment to me. And again, these aren't even comments about me. These are just the for you comments that I read that are just so preposterous and he's like you know when you respond to them they keep feeding you these and I'm like I know but I can't fucking help it so I tried to avoid that today I tried to

avoid the stupidity of social media because everybody's fucking stupid like you know what I saw today I was uh I was scrolling through Instagram, which for the most part, Instagram keeps me sheltered's the name of the chick? Her mom is Andy McDowell, the chick that always bites her lip. Whatever her name is, she pops up a lot. And mostly Tate McRae. Occasionally a Taylor Swift thing will pop up. But for the most part, my algorithm on Instagram is chicks. And that's the way your algorithm should be. It shouldn't be your fucking football team. It shouldn't be your baseball team. It should be chicks and occasional briskets.

That's what your algorithm should be. And if your algorithm and your search feature doesn't show those, I don't know what to tell you, bro. You're just fucked. And if it's women, it should be like Tim McGraw's package and something else is what women should get in their algorithm. tell you, bro, you're just fucked. And if it's women, it should be like Tim McGraw's package and something else is what women should get in their algorithm. It should not be, uh, just other bullshit. Just no more bullshit. Just hot chicks. That's what Instagram is there for hot chicks.

And for sending inappropriate videos and reels to your buddies, That's it. So I'm scrolling through on there today and I see a video pop up of one of these urban radio stations and it was Power 92. It was Power 92 in L, is Power 92 LA? I don't know where the hell it was. Or is it in New York?

But one of these stations is playing a new R. Kelly song and people are debating whether or not it's an AI or if like R. Kelly actually in prison was recording new songs. And then the video like the DJ is like, oh, shit, we got new R. Kelly. And all the comments are like, fuck, yeah, man, R. Kelly, we got that, that brother. And I'm like, this motherfucker is a monster, an absolute monster. But, like, we just kind of pick and choose, like, what monsters are acceptable and, like, what crimes aren't acceptable. You know, we talk about this all the time.

Like, if some slapdick 11-year-old kid, when he's a kid, quotes a rap lyric on Twitter, then becomes a famous athlete when he's in his 20s, then people unearth his tweet from when he's 11 years old. It's like, we got to cancel this motherfucker. This kid is inappropriate. He's probably a terrorist, definitely MAGA, threat to society, piece of shit, take his life away. But like R. Kelly, who based on like seemingly hundreds of accusations, R. Kelly is a piece of shit and we're like fuck yeah step in the name of love clap in the name of love like we're a wild world bro we are i saw uh chris rock do a bit about this about like michael jackson and how michael jackson's like you know like

basically he did it but no one cared you know he did all this bad shit but no one cares because the music's good and like the bands where the bad the music isn't as good we like fuck them motherfuckers that's a bit i've been doing forever and it's true it kind of comes into the same world as like it's not sexual harassment if the guy is cute that's hitting on you it's only sexual harassment if some dipshit's hitting on you then it's like oh this is uncomfortable but you know if it's a good looking guy doing it you're like oh it's not so bad but it's just hysterical to me the people that we consider to be like like again michael jackson at best this is at best was sharing his bed with fucking random children

not his own children random children oh there's nothing more beautiful than sharing your bed with the kids and you're like what like just that would make you go huh that's interesting but then you've got countless accusations of the guy sodomizing these kids and doing horrible shit you're like yeah you're right but beat it does fuck you know and it's true like you will hear michael jackson everywhere everywhere you turn like michael jackson michael jackson you turn on an adult hit station the way you make me feel you turn on like a classic hit station the bodies and eyes and the words are really clear so beat it turn on the yacht rock station i'm gonna rock with you you turn it all on there's always michael jackson it's just like

we don't give a fuck it's like you know what fuck it music's too good but now r kelly's in that category because i saw this video pop up and they're like shit r kelly's back like believe all women unless the man makes good shit if the man makes good shit we believe none of them bitches look have you heard the remix of ignition well fuck you then fuck you then.

So back to the idea of trying to avoid Twitter, particularly the for you feature on Twitter and find something else to do. So I don't get as enraged by things. Tried to go to Instagram for it. Saw that R. Kelly thing. I'm not really enraged over that. That's just dipshits. But like, you know, and then, of course, I hit search and I see Tate McRae's ass. That brings me joy. But then you hear people like Tate McRae being like, why do people objectify me?

I don't know because you're wearing basically nothing and doing random splits across two chairs and you're like, why am I being objectified? But please like, listen, like, no, like that's what happens. You want to be hot. People are going to say you're hot. That's the way the world works. I get annoyed by hypocrites on this kind of shit. Like Angel Reese is a hypocrite. Like, hey, here's my cooter. Hey, why do you guys talk about me

sexually? Why do you guys objectify me? Here's my tits. Hey, why do you objectify me so much? I'm not objectifying you. People are objectifying you, but you can't wonder why people are objectifying you. I think that's my biggest issue with people like Angel Reese. Is Angel Reese wants to be the bad guy. Wants to be the bad bitch. That gets out there and says I don't give a shit what people say. And I don't care. And I'm going to talk shit here.

And I'm going to talk shit here. And then the second people start talking shit. It's why do people talk shit about me? I'm just a person. I am just a person. And I don't understand why people are talking shit about me. And then all of her little fan boys and girls come running like why is Angel the only person that gets shit talked about her like this in the W first of all no human calls the WNBA no like real human calls the WNBA the W and second of all like the reason Angel Reese gets shit on is because she's literally the only WNBA player outside of Kaitlyn Clark that most humans know.

You wouldn't be able to pick most humans, 99% if not more of humans, if you put seven WNBA players up right in front of them, Angel Reese and Kaitlyn Clark being one of them. They would name two WNBA players. They would say Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, maybe. They would definitely know Caitlin Clark. They'd probably know Angel Reese. And if that one tall gal, the white tall gal, they might go, oh yeah, you're the tall gal from the New Balance commercial, but they wouldn't know her name. That's the thing.

But then these people, they want, that's the reason these leagues have no chance. Because like, let me give credit to someone. I'm gonna give credit to Draymond Green because Draymond Green at least his character on television and in the league is that of a gigantic fucking asshole that's his bit his bit is I'm a dickhead I'm Draymond Green I kick dudes in the nuts and like what did I do wrong and And then like talking shit, like the ultimate heel move the other day is when he's talking shit about Carl Anthony towns. And, and they're like,

he's like, yeah, he just was ducking whomever. I forgot who they were playing, but he's like, he's afraid of, uh, Jimmy Butler or whatever the fuck it was. He's afraid of him. And someone goes, no, he was actually at a funeral. And instead of backtracking and being like, oh shit, my bad. I was wrong, dude. I'm sorry about that. Homeboy homeboy doubles down he's like i don't give a fuck and like i kind of respect that you know there's a wrestling term it's live your gimmick you gotta live your gimmick rick flair lived his gimmick could you imagine a situation like where rick flair is limousine riding kiss stealing jet flying wheeling dealing son of a gun i'm having a hard time keeping these alligators down. Woo!

Can you imagine if he didn't live the gimmick? Like, these dudes today don't live the gimmick. It's a wrestling match. It's a television show. They show up. They do a little dance, and they go to their social media, and here I am with my baby. Like, that's what they do now.

Ric Flair didn't even fucking know his kids' names because that motherfucker was living the gimmick. Ric Flair's like, well, I'm here in Lawrence, Kansas for a night. Who's fucking Ric Flair tonight, baby? Woo! And he's buying the whole bar shots and all this shit. You got to live the gimmick. And what I respect about Draymond Green is at least publicly in podcasts and in other forms,

he lives the gimmick. He embraces the gimmick. You want to be the bad guy? You want to be the villain? You have to be the villain. You can't come out and go, why does everybody hate me so much? I'm really a nice person.

Why are people so hateful to me? No, if you're the villain, you double down. That's what you do. That's what made the heels the best part of wrestling. That's what makes the Ric Flair work. That's what makes the Iron Sheik work. When they walk out and they talk shit and they don't break character that's what makes the bit work the problem with like these wnba gals these new money people like the angel reese is they all want to talk shit and they all want to tweet shit like uh i said what i

said and i mean it like well you know what people are going to disagree with you that's part of the game like I think what happens is like there's this world where we just assume that now like the ladies can do stuff now right and you know you got the WNBA having its moment and all this shit it's like they live in this world where only good comes of it and there's no criticism well part of being equal to the dudes which is something that people fight for all the time is we want to be treated like men. The women's soccer wants to be treated like the men. The women's basketball wants to be treated like men. Fine.

But part of that celebrity and part of that power and part of that influence is on the other side of shit. People are going to shit on you. That's part of being famous. You see, if you were just an anonymous person that had never talked shit to Caitlin Clark, no one would know who you are and nobody would care. Therefore, there wouldn't be haters. You only have haters if you matter. Right?

You know, people hate Jake and Logan Paul. They have a gigantic following. You get haters when you have a gigantic following. You get haters when you become famous. And if Angel Reese never looks over at Caitlin Clark and does the whole thing where she's taunting her and Barstool doesn't say she's a giant piece of shit and all that, she doesn't become famous. She doesn't have a million followers on Instagram or whatever she has, right? She doesn't have that. She doesn't have fanboys and fangirls and stans. She doesn't have those people because she's not

famous enough to have them and nobody cares. But part of what comes with being famous, and this goes for men, look at LeBron. LeBron is arguably the greatest basketball player to ever walk the face of the earth. Arguably. Top to bottom, he is a better basketball player than probably anybody that's ever played. More gifted, more skilled, probably the best. I don't like him. Many people don't.

But that's the point. I don't like him. Many people don't, but that's the point that comes with that celebrity. The people talk the shit that comes with it. It's like the people that are like, people just assume like, if you're not a man, if you're not, if you're someone trying to come up in some, if you're a minority in something like in this case, women are the minority in sports in this case. So if you're in this situation and you've got people like in your mind it's like it should only be good good good no sweetie that's not how it works when Draymond Green goes out and kicks somebody in the balls or talks shit about Carl Anthony Towns only to find out that he was at a funeral and then he doesn't backtrack on it he knows that he's gonna get shit and people are going to shit on him for it. But he goes with it because that's part of the game.

That's how it works. You can't play victim when people don't like you. You got to own it. You can't be like, I said what I said. And then like a thousand people retweet your shit and they're like, why are people so mean to Angel? Angel's so nice and uh and like like there's no my favorite is nobody in the w gets treated this poorly well of course because like there's two people that anyone knows in the wnba and they only know them because there was a racial war fought over the two of them two years ago that's the only reason anyone knows any of them that's reality

I saw someone um I love when people post about the WNBA because again this is in my for you it doesn't mean I give a shit it just shows up in my for you and it's like uh like I don't know why people try to make Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese a rivalry they don't even play the same position really it's more like Caitlin Clark and such Reese a rivalry. They don't even play the same position. Really, it's more like Caitlin Clark and such and such. I'm like, no. The reason they think it's a rivalry, one, no one gives a shit about the WNBA enough to even care about rivalries.

Two, the reason it's Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark is very simple. It's black versus white. It's right wing versus left wing. That's all this is. That's why it became a thing. You can dismiss it. You can dispute it. You can argue me. Very rarely will I tell you that my opinion is 100% stone cold right, and I don't care about your opinion because I enjoy debating. In this case, I am 100% stone

cold right. Facts. If Angel Reese were white talking shit to another white girl, you know who would have cared? No one. Nobody would have given a shit black chick gets all like and then you get the clay travises and the dave port noise calling her a piece of shit and then it starts a race war on twitter and that's where you get and that's the only reason why you are famous because you shit talk somebody once that's all and that's okay there's nothing wrong with that there's different. There's different ways for people to become famous. You know, people shit on the Kardashians. Yeah, they became famous because one of them got plowed by Ray J. And there was a video and, you know, the mom was married to the OJ attorney and blah, blah, blah. But it's what you do with that fame that you might gain an ill-begotten way that's what matters you know what the kardashians do now they're pretty successful business people actually very successful business people well josh well who gives a shit if they're very successful business people stupid dummies buying their shit sure stupid dummies buy everyone's

shit you know someone came up with the sticker of the fucking dude pissing on the team you dislike you know who buys those dipshits and puts them on their truck you know who's rich for creating that that dude dumb people buy shit you know that's how you get rich you know like i was thinking about this the other day like sometimes uh like jilly loves to go to kohl's and then she'll show me the giant receipt from kohl's about all the shit she saved. She's like, look at Kohl's today with all my Kohl's cash and all the savings. Dude, we saved $200. I'm like, yeah, but we spent $150 that we weren't going to spend at all.

Like people have, like if you, like it's the same way. It's like the free shipping thing. Jilly is one of these people that like will buy something else that's like $10 to try to get to the free shipping, knowing that it'll just balance out anyway. And I'm like, what is it with you and free shipping? Who gives a shit? People do dumb shit. People who buy shit do dumb shit. That's who buys it. So if you're the Kardashians, right? And you're like, well, only dummies buy their shit. Cool. But they buy it. Someone does. That's actually the way the world works. That's how you become famous and popular and rich. You

take advantage of stupid people. You just don't call them stupid to their face. I guess that's the difference now between celebrities then and now. Back then, you wouldn't call people stupid. Now, celebrities have no issue calling people stupid for politics or whatever. They're just very brazen about it now. But you find stupid people you exploit stupid people and you make money off of stupid people like jilly i don't know she still does or not but she bought like the she really used to like the lip uh the lipstick and shit from kylie jenner i'm like okay cool kylie jenner who ultimately was famous for just being in this family that was famous for being famous. She creates makeup. People buy it.

She's rich. She does her own thing. Jake and Logan Paul, just two dipshits that were on what vine or whatever the fuck they were on when they started as kids. And now one of them's a fucking boxer and one of them's a wrestler and they're both rich as shit. Like, and they have haters. Like it's the way it works, but it's like somehow these WNBA people don't grasp this.

They don't understand the real world. They just think I'm supposed to roll out and play basketball and everybody's supposed to love me and I'm supposed to make money like LeBron. No, that's not how it works. Anyway. All right. Let's see. More to come.
