Kelly guilty verdict has offered up a lot of opinions \u2014 and Public Enemy\u2019s Chuck D\u2019s commentary has risen to the top of Twitter. <\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday (September 28), the Public Enemy frontman put himself in scrutiny\u2019s way when he raised questions about the disgraced singer that didn\u2019t outright crucify his character. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbused in his youth\u2026 an addict as a adult\u2026 Ike Turner served 18 months in prison.. Rick James did similar time,\u201d Chuck D tweeted. \u201cIke came out a changed positive human being. How long should R Kelly spend in prison -and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Given Chuck D and Public Enemy have been purveyors of social justice \u2014 on and off the rap microphone for the better part of 40 years, many fans were taken aback by the 61-year-old\u2019s stance, to which he assured his 687,000 Twitter followers, \u201cIts not a sympathetic question at all. Not the least.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Its not a sympathetic question at all .

In 1989, Ike Turner, the former husband and infamous abuser to singer Tina Turner, was sentenced to four years (eventually serving 18 months) for cocaine possession and \u201cMary Jane\u201d singer Rick James sentenced to three years in prison for the kidnap-torture of two women during a crack cocaine-induced rager.<\/p>\n<p>When his take was challenged, Chuck D further detailed why R. Kelly\u2019s current plight was problematic \u2014 by using the music industry culture as a whole for deeper examples (according to his perspective).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter is cryptic where was people when every other song was revealing evidence of what was ok to program to black kids over radio?\u201d Chuck D offered in rebuttal. \u201cAll you gotta do is read the titles the past 25 years of black songs and you get clues. His labels &amp; radio knew what they was feeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cMixing grown folk lifestyle with black youth was so endorsed financed perpetuated as so urban cool by radio. Black audiences were abused while 25yrs poppin champagne in the sandbox. The boundaries were sloppy w head nods. That dude &amp; others gave clues that the gatekeepers ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Twitter is cryptic where was people when every other song was revealing evidence of what was ok to program to black kids over radio?

Kelly is widely known as the \u201cKing of R&amp;B.\u201d With over 75 million records sold, 3 Grammy Awards and numerous hit songwriting credits from the likes of Michael Jackson, JAY-Z, Nas, The Notorious B.I.G. (and that was just a sliver of the 90s), his track record was able to blossom in the face of numerous sexual abuse allegations involving minors during the course of his career. <\/p>\n<p>On Monday (September 27), the 54-year-old singer was found guilty on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, bribery, racketeering and sex trafficking involving five victims. Late R&amp;B icon Aaliyah\u2019s illegal tryst was also used to carve out a pattern of predatory behavior. After tweeting exchanges for several hours, Chuck D reverted back to his original line of questioning regarding the intended prison sentence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m stunned how this took this long and how the business machines around him are unidentifiable and they also perpetuated the fanaticism of what he was,\u201d Chuck D continued. \u201cAnd masses hung on as the radio &amp; BET played on . With support non stop. Allowing it to grow bigger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnswer is simple when you answer how long . If it\u2019s 100 years then it\u2019s the answer. If it\u2019s execution or castration that\u2019s a answer.
