I was curious about the R. Kelly latest CD because I knew he was in trouble so I assumed he would change the content of the lyrics of his songs.  I was dead wrong.


The latest CD "Double Up" is outrageous.  Musically his CD is fantastic but the lyrics are somewhat disgusting.  I will mention a few songs and the suggestion for these young people minds to adventure in (wow).


The CD is very sexual in its connotation. One of the songs "Double Up", he is suggestion that you double up.  Another song is "Same Girl", partners doing the same girl.  The song that is the biggest hit on his CD is "I'm A Flirt", he's basically telling his partners don't trust me with your girl, wife, sister or any female.


I chose this CD to review because I believe a lot of  young people listen to this music and replace reality with fantasy. The three songs I mentioned have some form of negative connotation toward women. These songs are more than entertainment, I believe some young people take these songs to a different level and believe this is what you are suppose to do.


This may be not believable but think of this.  The shooting in the plaza was over a female.  Was this young man flirting with the shooters girlfriend, did he want to double up or were they messing with the same girl.  These are just suppositions but in reality could this be true?  We need to listen to what these young people are listening to, some of these lyrics are  "outrageous" and very "suggestive".
