A double disc may seem indulgent after barely a decade in the biz, but after meandering through the commercial minefields of innocent fun (1992's Born into the 90's), pure raunch (1993's 12 Play), and pop crossover (1995's... more » R. Kelly), R. Kelly has come close to the perfect mix--and if it takes two discs to do so, why not? There are still moments of indulgence (the forced theatrics of "The Opera") and the occasional venture into mediocrity ("Did You Ever Think?"), but the sheer funk of tracks like "Home Alone" (a head bobber featuring Keith Murray) and "Dollar Bill" (featuring--surprise!--Foxy Brown) allows you to overlook such cracks in the formula. Other bit players in this star vehicle include Cam'Ron, Noreaga, Jay-Z, Nas, and (yes) Celine Dion. --Rebecca Wallwork« less

"First of all, R.Kelly is my favorite male artist of all time. Second,in this Awesome Double Album he shows more than ever his way to sing: R&B, Slow Jams, Ballads, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and ether Flamenco; Speaking English,French, and a little Spanish. There are pleny of great music here. My favorites are: Home Alone, If Im with you, Half on a Baby, When a Woman Fed Up, Get Up on a
Room, One Man, We Ride(With Camron,Noreaga,Vegas Cats and Jay-Z),
Dont Put Me Out, Etcetera,Turn Back the Hands of Time,V.I.P.,
Did You Ever Think, Reality,Looking for Love,IM YOUR ANGEL
(Duet with Celine Dion), Money Makes The World( With Nas),AND
THE 3-TIME GRAMMY WINNER, I BELIEVE I CAN FLY. The Only tracks

Collection.SO GO AND BUY IT!."

"R Kelly is constantly improving his art as is clearly evident in his growing inventory of projects. R. has not only displayed R Kelly's versatility but has also revealed how dynamic an artist he is. The R. is irrefutably a musical genius."
A Must Buy!!!

"It has definitely been a long time coming for this new R. Kelly creation. I must say it's been worth the wait. This two CD collection satisfies the needs of every listener. It combines up tempo tracks with talented MCs like Jay-Z, Noreaga, and Foxy; but it also fulfills the needs of those who just want to hear a couple of smooth ballads--Don't Put Me Out and Etcetera are two of my favorites.I think what makes this CD so great is its originality. It's like no other CD you've ever heard before. It showcases R. Kelly's musical gift and lets the listener be a part of that for a couple of hours. I must say, however, that Disc #1 seems to surpass Disc #2 in terms of entertainment value. I often find myself forgetting that he's even created two CDs. In any case, they are both wonderful and worth every dollar."
