Have U guys heard R. Kelly's new cd? Same ole tired material. Sounds like he recorded the entire cd is a week.

I made sure I listened to the snippets on amazon. REJECTED!

Its watered down/ring tone RB shit, sorry to be so blunt but thats all it is. I swear this guy has been doing the same song now for about a decade or so. But then again, did we think he would GROW on this record?

Come on, Sex Planet is HILARIOUS.

R. Kelly is aight. He's like a comedic R&B singer nowdays. I kinda like his str8-fowarded lyrics. I give him his props cause he has his own style - if all R&B sounded the same, it would be boring.

All RnB does sound the same and it is boring.

Prospect said:

Comedic singer...yes! thats the exact term I would use to describe him

All those damn metaphors. ie:

Chorus:
Got a sweet tooth for you girl
Baby I'm tempted to taste
I can't wait to drink your meal
Your looking like a big whole piece of cake
I'm all up in your meal
Uh it taste like skittles

I'm just keeping it real with you
Girl I got a sweet tooth

I got stuck in a car with someone playing The Zoo (torturous). I swear I thought of the Org and the parody songs posted on here sometimes. You really can’t tell the difference.

The Zoo
(Intro)
I wanna see (your body)
I wanna feel (your body)
I wanna touch (your body)
I wanna kiss (your body)
I wanna freak (your body)
Wanna sex
It's nothing like (your body)
(Your body)

(Verse 1)
It's like a jungle atmosphere
And we're two monkeys baby
It's like we're on a vine
The way we're swinging it baby
See, you're a tiger girl
The way you're scratching me
I'm a lion
In this jungle I'm a king
Girl, I got you so wet
It's like a rain forest
Like Jurassic Park
Except I'm your sex-a-saurus baby
You and me hopping
Like two kangaroos
Rattling and moaning
Out here in these woods

(b-section 1)
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you're moaning in my ear
Girl you're singing to me
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don't wanna be free cause it's

(Chorus 1)
Wild like a zoo
And that's the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Baby come and lay with me in my jungle

(Verse 2)
Ooo, I swear I'm about to go
Turn your body around and beat the skins like it's a bongo
A thousand birds up out the tree
Girl, like a swarm of bees
That is how it's gonna be
Climaxing you and me
Touch the root of your soul
Let Mother Nature take control
Over us is rain and leaves
So come on girl
Let's plant these seeds, yeah

(b-section 2)
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Baby, those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you're moaning in my ear
Singing

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
(Oh yeah)
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don't wanna be free cause it's

(Chorus 2)
Wild like a zoo
And that's the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Baby won't you come and lay in my jungle

(Bridge)
Ya'll don't understand
Like two cheetahs running free
African butterfly to me
You're my safari fantasy
Girl this is heaven to me
Baby we are like coconut and banana trees
(It's a tropical)
Tropical chemistry
Like the wild life
I'm doing you baby
(I'm doing you baby)
You're doing me baby
(You're doing me baby)
It's you and me
(It's you and me)
Going wild

(Chorus 3)
Wild like a zoo
And that's the way (Oh baby) I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
So baby come and lay with me in my jungle

(I don't wanna break free 'cause this is)
Wild like a zoo
Just the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Girl come and lay with me in my (lay with me) jungle

(Girl I like it cause it's)
Wild like a zoo (Wild like a zoo)
Crazy me and you (Crazy me and you, Yeah)
Heated animals (Heated animals)
Girl come and lay with me in my jungle

(Outro)
And the whole jungle goes
ooo ooo ooo ooo
aaa aaa aaa aaa

ooo ooo ooo ooo
aaa aaa aaa aaa

ooo ooo ooo ooo
aaa aaa aaa aaa

ooo ooo ooo ooo
aaa aaa aaa aaa

I agree...but really honey....you didn't expect anything different DID YOU???
I have hated everything since 12Play and am now questioning that cause he is a child molesting freak.....just cause it's with girls doesn't make him any better than MJ....trust me...

Kim69 said:

You had me agreeing UNTIL you said that. R.Kelly is worse because he actually DID commit a crime.MJ's case was bullshit

I'll say it again:

FUCK R.KELLY

People are really talking about the album as if it is a return to form of some sorts...

Graycap23 said:

Does this surprise you?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

lol.....frankly no.

Graycap23 said:

Then why did you listen to it?! I've been telling ya'll that this muthafucka was
a waste of space yet you STILL make an effort to listen to his crap!
when r u gonna learn? Don't make me get my belt!

bboy87 said:

Lol.....I have 2 listen 2 EVERYTHING. It's a part of my existence.

Graycap23 said:

Don't try to make excuses now! You know better than that!

Now I have to make an example outta you!

Graycap23 said:

I can't believe you actually took the time to listen to his CD R.Kelly is one of the main reasons today's R&B is so screwed up.

Yah basically what he's doing is trying to get a nest egg to sit on, while in jail...
his last decent album was Chocolate Factory, and the loveland outtakes...
everything afterwards has been a joke.
HE is trash

bboy87 said:

You couldn't pay me to sit and listen to an R.Kelly CD

SoulAlive said:

you tellin me, that you wouldnt get paid to listen to some shitty music.
i find that hard to believe
given the fact that you probably paid to listen to Chaos & Disorder...

The tune w/ Usher is sort of

But the rest???

Well I didn't understand all the hoopla over Step In the Name of Love & all that, so he's been shit to me for a while I think there were 2-3 songs on Chocolate Factory that I liked, which was a struggle b/c of the case - I still can't bring myself to listen to this fool. Why would anyone expect him to be any good right now? Especially after that "Closet" bullshit. I swear, audiences are straight STARVED if they can appreciate such tripe

CalhounSq said:

R.Kelly's music is GARBAGE.Without even hearing his album,I can already guess what it consists of....

***a bunch of bass-heavy "sex" slow jams with awful lyrics
***a few songs about cheating
***a phony ballad with a choir in the background
***some midtempo,hip-hop-sounding tracks with a guest rapper


That's all he has to offer as an "artist"

And this is a surprise because... ??

SoulAlive said:

You are so right! "phony ballad w/ choir"

Prospect said:

wut styLE DOES HE HAVE

R. kelly went from Bobby Brown clone in MGM, to Guy clone in PA, to Jodeci knockoff on his other two LPs, then bit off Bone thugs N Harmony with the speed rap, bit of TQ with the whole rnb gangster,

CalhounSq said:

He always does those big,schmaltzy ballads with the choir and the whole bit.....it's so damn phony!!! And downright laughable

CalhounSq said:

Well I guess you'll be Happy to know that Chapters 13 thru 22 is coming out next month (the closet saga continues)

surprises you?

I downloaded that scandal
and have yet to lay ears on it

I hear mixed things
even though I KNOW
that I won't like it

I did hear one track
the one where he samples
"Iceberg" (horribly may I add)
