The S in Sex / The R In R&B

He has been called the R in R&B, labled himself the "Pied Piper" of R&B, and numerous other monikers, including pervert, child molestor, but the one label that just can't seem to escape him even after 9 studio albums, is "Mr. Sex Fiend" himself! It seems that as his untitled cd hits stores today, it's back to the sexcapades of one the most raunchy lyricists in the business today.

You would think that his musical direction would have at least taken another route after being cleared of child pornography charges, yet he brings more of what his legion of fans have become familiar with, the raunchiness that blasted the R into the spotlight in the early 90's.

The album which orginally was going to be called 12 Play: 4th Quarter, was apparently scrapped sometime before R. Kelly walked into an Atlanta club and stated, "I'm working on a new album and I'm calling that muthafucka Untitled. Y'all call it what y'all want."

As a sidenote*

In an interview with Blackvoices.com, R. Kelly claimed that he is going to finish the album Michael Jackson was allegedly working on before his untimely death in June, saying that he and Jackson had talks shortly before his death about Kelly coming in to help finish the album alongside Jackson.

"I recorded five joints for Michael Jackson (in the past). And we had been talking on the phone about his new album, and I was going to finish what Michael was doing at the time. We're going to get it out though. Michael liked the way I would try to sing the songs just like him."
