For Double Up R. Kelly expands his hit-making collaborative efforts and enlists a diverse roster of musical guests that includes Usher, Kid Rock, Nelly, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Huey, Ludacris, Keyshia Cole, and Swizz Beatz. Double Up is R. Kelly’s ninth solo release since his smash solo debut 12 Play. Mr. R. Kelly dominates the music charts with his latest LP, Double Up, the number 1 best selling R&B album in the country and it looks like its receiving some great reviews too! Now with the whole situation he’s facing now, child pornography? I commend him through the trail process, everyone is human, we all make mistakes. I haven’t seen the alleged video nor do I intend to, but I hear that the whole rendezvous, it appears like, was nothing but consensual and I don’t recall this young hoe (obviously she’s done this before) reporting to her defenses but her aunt. So, and I also believe in the aspect “innocent until proven guilty.” R. Kelly has done really nothing wrong, they don’t even have enough evidence to prove anything, with all the advance technology we have this day and age. Anyway, back to the review, the album is just ok – nothing more or less – but a die hard R. Kelly fan might beg to differ so again, I leave it at that for your discretion. In my opinion, he has indeed gotten a little reckless, watering down his lyrics to the masses, and he is getting older so I wouldn’t recommend going that route but as Mr. Carter so eloquently said, “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” So again, I leave it up to the consumer’s discretion. But may I add Usher and Kellz tore “Same Girl” up…

Okay, at first I was like, “Oh HELL NAW not another ’supergroup’ man,” but this is an exception, lol. Lupe Fiasco mentioned in interviews not too long ago about working with a “secret project with another superstar rapper and producer,” the secret was later revealed in the form of a group consisting of Pharell, Kanye, and Lupe called CRS! I can definitely see the group’s potential with brand new joint “Us Placers,” this track is simply genius and so true, damn! If this material is what we can look out for from the ’supergroup’ then I say, bring it on like donkey kong! Source

Once in a lifetime do two mega stars come together. Rarely do such people put aside difference and ego and show the bravery and confidence needed to do something together. And when it happens the people stop, listen and watch. For a moment the world stops and the fans love every moment of it. This song is a fun twist of fate. Rarely do we hear the fellas tell of being two timed and played. Never out the mouths of sex symbols like R. Kelly and Usher. But here they are. Saying it for the world to hear. Some woman has gotten the best of both of them (what she look like?). The video plays it all out for us to see what we hear, with a little twist at the end that we don’t hear on the record…

Now before you start giving me the side-eye, I didn’t write that! Lmao, the “good folk” over at Sony BMG appear to have overly exaggerated a couple of photos of two arrogant muhfuckas on the set of their new video. Can’t knock the hustle though! I wonder how the video’s gonna turn out, cause the song is fiyah! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see ;-)

Shemare Moore was at some party the other day (June 4 to be exact) photographed with a glass of licka in toute. What the hell’s your problem mayne? Do you just not care? The shindig was held at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto and homeboi refused to comment on his DUI arrest… Let’s just hope his ass ain’t get behind the wheel!
