Editorial Review:
R. Kelly's rep could be considered controversial at best, but that's not to say the man who does for raunch what Beyoncé does for backsides (that is, caused the masses to arrive at a more multidimensional consideration) is not a fascinating artist. On Double Up, arguably his most sex-crazed, diabolically sleazy CD to date, Kelly grunts like a monkey, envisions a hot and heavy interplanetary romp, and indulges in NC-17-rated rhymes. Stylistically, the self-described king of R&B kicks up a hip-hoppy storm, spitting rapid-fire rhymes and tossing the 'n' word around too freely. But then there's the saving grace: that voice. Throughout a couple of inspirational numbers and collaborations with friends such as Usher ("Same Girl") and Nelly ("Tryin' to Get a Number"), Kelly does what he did so capably on the megahit "I Believe I Can Fly": he reaches even reluctant listeners with deep-seated sincerity. Even when he doesn't, he still knows how to capture catchy--first single "I'm a Flirt," for example, locks it up with a whisper and a wink. --Tammy La Gorce
The King of R&B's Double Up delivers a potent potion of pure signature R&B with some Hip Hop on top. Featuring collaborations with T.I., T-Pain, and more, the legendary R. Kelly joins forces with some of the hottest and best Hip-Hop talent and the result is fiercly sexy. From the amazing duet with Usher "Same Girl", to the smooth stylin of "Freaky In The Club," fans around the globe will jump at the opportunity to Double Up with R. Kelly

He needs to give it up! R.Kelly's latest release DOUBLE UP, fails to bring that R&B feel to it. Yeah, it does bring more Rap than he usually does, and I can't lie..."I'm A Flirt," was a good song. But, as for the rest, it can all go some place else, so we don't have to hear it!
Rating: - Double Up = Double Flop
It's impossible not to be in two minds about Double Up. It presents us with a reinvented, thuggish ruggish version of R. Kelly, who is reaching, following...not leading the pack as he so claims on 'The Champ'. Even so, this man is so talented that he can't help but impress us on occasion.
There are some GREAT songs here, like the sexy, swaggering title track, 'Freaky In the Club', with its cool reggae tones, 'I'm A Flirt' which is outrageously cocky and fun, 'Same Girl', 'Real Talk' ... Read More
Rating:  - Double up and check out his homie Devin the Dude's Latest
if you love R. Kelly, check out his homie Devin the Dude Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1- track 3 getting high is something to smoke to - whoah - this is the first album since Rapalot Days and the first album of Devin's to hit the Billboard Charts - Congrats
Rating:  - Double Up
R. Kelly never fell off. He just switched it up from the same ol early 90's R. Kelly.But with that said this album is more of the same. It's R. Kelly! He's been established long enough for people to know if they like him or not. If you are an R. Kelly fan this album will not disappoint with songs such as Leave Your Name, Double Up, Freaky In The Club (especially that one...oh yeah! Lol), The Zoo, I'm A Flirt RMX (gimme that back Bow Wow...I'll make it a hit!), Same Girl, Hook It Up , Rock Star, ... Read More
Rating: - He sinks into mediocrity
One of the most versatile, creative and talented artists of this generation is Robert Kelly. Foremost, he has been apart of the music business for over fifteen years and is still very relevant. Too, there have been many male singers who have come and gone within the fifteen-plus years he has been known, but, sadly, they have come and gone. Not only is he one of the most successful talents within the last several years, but he is also a noted producer. He has produced hits for Celine Dion, Lil' Bow ... Read More
