Besides the fact that R. Kelly looks absolutely ridiculous on the cover of this album, and besides the fact that R. Kelly hasn’t been on trial for “allegedly” (we have to say that) having sex with that underaged girl, people really are giving the R&B thug his love this time around. I, for one, am not fooled. Sure, you cannot deny that R. Kelly has been blowing up radio with hits, on every single remix imaginable and all over MTV, BET and whatever else. But with all of his music, and all the hype, I just can’t get into the fact that this man is on tape, urinating on some girl’s face and people still sing his praises, and he’s still selling albums. Maybe it’s just me, but that’s extremely backwards.

R. Kelly’s “Double Up” goes on sale sometime within the next week. Go out and buy it if you support child molestation and pedophilia. ‘Cause if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything…

Tank – Come Back to Me (full) – download
If this was the direction in which Tank’s album was going to go, I would have suggested that this song be placed on the album. But Tank’s new album, “Sex, Love & Pain,” which, according to SoundScan and billboard.com debuted at #2 it’s first week (and #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop Album charts), is very ballad-heavy, besides the 2-year-old “I Like Them Girls,” produced by Timbaland, which appears at the end of the album as a bonus track. I like this track, but I can definitely see why it was left off the album. I think Tank needs to release another album soon.

Mario – Why (snippet) – download
Mario has got a voice on him. And I’m glad that this snippet has leaked, because besides “Go!” (produced by The Neptunes) and “Crying Out For Me” (produced by Polow Da Don), I haven’t been impressed with much from the album, especially the new single, “How Do I Breathe.” This snippet, reportedly produced by The Underdogs, who have been sitting pretty since producing the Dreamgirls soundtrack, virtually in its entirety, is a good look for Mario. I’m hoping that this new album can erase the bad taste the last one left in my mouth.
