And second, “Booty” shows off Kelly’s skill at matching the instrumental perfectly to the lyrics.

First, no one can make the vulgar sound romantic better than the R. “Feelin’ On Yo Booty”-This jam is the first on the list to flaunt two of R. Line to remember: “Your body is my playground / Let me lick you up and down.”Ĩ. Kelly nails this track, showing off his vocal range from top to bottom. “It Seems Like You’re Ready”-This is definitely a song we college kids can all relate to, or at least one we’d like to relate to.

Line to remember: “Secret lovers / Is what you wanna be / While making love to him, girl / You’re silently calling on me.”ĩ. We’re all drawn toward the forbidden, and Kells makes that perfectly clear with this slow jam. “Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)”-This is for the risky, for the dangerous and for the cheaters. trapped in the closet is the same thing, just so out there, I cant tell if he's got a sense of humor about everything or if he's dead serious.ġ0. So can someone tell me, is he a comedy genius on par with Dave, or unintentionally campy? I honestly cant tell. The whole thing is so baffling because he sings it all with absolute conviction, and if his tongue is in his cheek, its hard to tell. that's not to mention the off the wall metaphors of Sex Planet (I'll never think of meteor showers the same), The Zoo (complete with elephant roars), Sweet Tooth (his lady tastes like skittles!), the long answering machine message of Leave Your Name, and then ends it all with a tribute to those killed in the Virginia Tech shooting. So I'm not really a modern R&B guy, I'm more of an Otis / Sam Cooke kind of guy, maybe Sharon Jones and Daptone records.īut lately, I've been addicted to R Kelly's Double Up cd, because it's just unbelivable, the funniest thing I've heard in ages, from the one sided phone argument rant of Real Talk, to finding out Usher & he are seeing the Same Girl ("does she like Waffle House?").
