Burn R. Kelly

R.Kelly TP3 - Jive Records - r-kelly.com

I bought this album from iTunes this weekend for the sole reason that I couldn't get that stupid 5-chapter saga out of my head.

Listening to the rest of the album, I have drummed up these comments:

If I happen to hear an interview of R. Kelly talking about any song on this album, I wouldn't be surprised to hear "...yeah, I wrote that when I was twelve. Pretty good, huh?"

His next album may include a song with the line "My anus was raw" just because it would rhyme.

TP.3 Reloaded isn't remixes, but it isn't original, either. Also, there's no theme and several grammatical errors. I think R. Kelly writes about 30% of the material, which probably results in his not needing to attend any live events.

That's good, because it will give him more time to videotape his encounters with 14-year-old girls.

This album has a cover on it that makes one think that it's rock-hard, perhaps like one of Tupac's. Take a look at the site, before his next album comes out (probably next month). It does not, however, contain any type of fast, hard rap or any cool beats. There is one song on this album that is SeanPaulIstic, but for that one Mr. Kelly sought the help of four others. And it sucked. It was a desperate attempt at originality - it was about bootie-shaking.

I've never heard such a dramatic attempt at placing a mobile phone in silent mode. What a ridiculous attempt at a memorable production. Maybe I'm just too old.

What's the return policy at iTunes?
