Review: R Kelly - Double Up

I don’t know. Music in the black sector has fallen off significantly as the talented become elders in the game and as the newbies are consistently dropping garbage. R Kelly doesn’t stray away from content that has garnered him his fortune (the club scene, and having sex). Snoop Dogg is making the statement that you cannot have an album in ‘06 or ‘07 without a snoopy feature. Polow Da Don & Keyshia Cole appear on “Best Friend” which re-uses the successful “Trapped In My Closet” formula. Which is probably the most interesting track on the cd. “Rollin’” is a better trap track than what USDA or TI has been putting in the streets lately. Y’all can’t tell me nothin’. Word to Kanye. Overall, it’s okay. It’s more of the same “aRuh”…but just not as fantastic. Of course his comments of late being considered in the same vein as our civil rights leaders was just buzz-grabbing nonsense to promote this cd. Unfortunately, it doesn’t measure up to that. What a surprise. I wouldn’t buy it. Go cop R. double cd. It’s a better use of your dollars.
