Nobody does sex, love, and spirituality quite like R. Kelly and true to form on his ninth album “Unititled,” he doesn’t disappoint. If his lead single, the bangin’ track “Number One” featuring Keri Hilson, was any indication as to where this sex train was going, nothing on this album should come as a surprise.
Kellz jumps right in with “Crazy Night,” a West Indian influenced track assisted by Konvict Music recording artists R. City. The admirable thing about Kelly is that he’s not afraid to transform his R&B stylings and merge into different musical lanes, but at this point it’s getting a little stale.
Despite his fumbles, Kelly gets his sea legs by mid album offering up a taste of his classic technique by way of the tracks like “Go Low” in which he likens a woman to a meal, that he wants to eat. “For instance you look like a food, wanna’ put you on my plate suck you up with some biscuits and go one and eat you baby.” Yes it’s enough to make you blush but it’s R. Kelly for goodness sakes!
Switching gears, like only he can, Kelly takes it back to the church on “Religious,” thanking the man upstairs for the love of a good woman. “I Love the DJ” is an atrocity to put it mildly while “Supaman High” featuring OJ Da Juiceman feels less authentic and more like an old man trying to be cool. “Text Me” describes lovemaking in the digital age and is applicable to several age groups. Perhaps the funniest song on the album is “Pregnant,” where Kelly lusts over a woman he desperately wants to get pregnant (whatever happened to people wanting to get married?). The song is honestly so ridiculous it shouldn’t be taken seriously, because again—it’s R. Kelly and outlandish lyrics are his mantra.
Although “Untitled” is musically monolithic, something about R. Kelly makes us want to hear more. At first listen there aren’t any real soon-to-be R&B classics, like “Seems Like You’re Ready,” “12 Play,” or “You Remind Me of Something,” but with over 20 years of experience under his belt, the new school of R&B cats could still learn a thing or two from him. So if you want to get in “the mood” or just hear about good love, “Untitled” is a definite must!
NICE HAIRCUT
lol Angel tryna shut y’all the fuck up now. Happy Holidays CL
And she put Pleasure P and an R Kelly post right next to each other. lol. Nasty asses..
Today’s blog features 2 child molesters, a woman batterer, a porn producer, an over sexed pop queen, and a driver involved in an auto death.
Wow what a group of entertainers.
Is it more than ironic that this post comes after the Pleasure P scandal?
@4 LMAO though I know I shouldn’t be laughing. sorry
I guess its all about the molesters today, JTW!!!
Get off your high horse, Latifah. Yes, the song “Pregnant” is terrible, but I bet you will eventually have a child out of wedlock yourself.
R Kelly is the Truth…
forget the golden showers…
@9 cosign
Props, Latifah for having morals.
#8… Did I miss something?? What high horse was Latifah on? Its called MORALS & Safe Sex sweetheart! And why would she eventually have one someday? Because you did? GTFOH with that non-sense.
Same ole sexcapades..same old Kelly.. lol…funny how he and pleasure p posts are close together!
I Love Kelly’s New CD::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lol @ Latifah’s review! I like her much better than Brian..girl’s got a sense of humor. Not feeling R.Kelly’s album..I’ll pass
seriously what did i post that was so different from what #11 and #10 said? ok let me try again… IT’s ok to have MORALS and Latifah is not destined to have children out of wedlock like #8 proposed …Better?
FIRST, morals and safe sex should not be put in the same sentence when trying to make a point. Latifah is right you should wait to have children until you are married but how many folks still have safe sex? lol. Thats does NOT make you any better. I bey you all are still screwing then want to look down on somebody who actually chose to have their baby and not abort it or prevent it by being on birth control like you did. SMH.
I meant bey=bet. There is no such thing as safe sex. Maybe the closest to it is marriage but if you were than you wouldn’t need to have safe sex right? If you wanna preach morals, how about waiting to have sex until you are married. Until then you are no better than anyone else.
I wasn’t “preaching” morals… I was stating that’s how you can prevent from having children out of wedlock. Either 1. wait until you’re married to have sex (hence the morals comment) or 2. practice safe sex
That’s how the two were put in the same sentence… *POW**POW*
I dug it… I’m still ready for a new chapter 4 Kellz… This Pleasure P thing is still blowing my mind…
how about how do you use the word morals when talking about r kelly?
Argh, slightly off topic, but here we go again. People telling you are “supposed” to be married before having children. according to who? why?
So because you choose to cohabitate and not get married you have less morals? my goodness. People need to realise that just because you have children outside of wedlock, it does not mean you do not or cannot have a stable relationship. What decade are you living in to not realise this? Don’t be so close minded…
Be My Number 2 is BY FAR my Fav song….You can be my # 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like everyone forgave/forgot about R. Kelly and his “taped-sexcapades” with a minor so if history repeats itself if the allegations are true about Pleasure P. his career will not face any harm either.
I heard R. Kelly’s CD earlier this week and honestly for him to be a musical genius and such a gifted song writer. What in the hell is this CRAP?!?!?!?
I love Echo-No One Can Do It Like the R, Supahigh……and Pregnant is growing on me…lol
KELLS BABY!!!
RKelly CD…Love #3-7-8-10-12 & 15…..Text Me is nice too…
Two words…child molester. I haven’t listened to him since the first story broke about him. That’s all I think about when I hear his music come on the radio and then I have to change the dial. Just plain old nasty. How soon we forget.
^ Are you the “Ateya” from You Tube? If so, I love your videos!
I was not in last week to give my opinion but here goes. Love the CD from begining to end. R. Kelly never disappoints me. Let me just mention Like I Do, Kells you are the best!
