Even disregarding the fact that it's a double album, R. is R. Kelly's most well-rounded album. There's hip hop, R&B, and gospel. And, for the most part, Kells pulls it all off successfully. Some songs are better than others, but the album never seems to drag on. The fact that he puts Celine Dion and Cam'ron on the same album is crazy enough ("I'm Your Angel" and "We Ride" respectively). But the fact that he put an inspirational song for a movie starring Bugs Bunny (Space Jam's "I Believe I Can Fly") and a materialistic record like "Only the Loot Can Make Me Happy" on the same album, and they're both incredibly catchy, is even crazier. And then, of course, there are a few sex records too ("Half on a Baby" and "Get Up on a Room").
