R. Kelly Returns to 12 Play Form With New Set

R. Kelly's latest offering is set to drop on December 10th amid much fanfare. The set, called Black Panties, is being described by many outlets as a throwback to his 12 Play days.  It is an unabashed return to the time when sex-themed R&B music ruled the airwaves. In the early to mid 90s, Kelly was just beginning to ascend to the superstar status he currently enjoys.  And now, his new offering features a veritable solar system of collaborators such as Ludacris, Kelly Rowland, 2 Chainz, Jeezy, Future and others.  The Los Angeles Times got a kicked out of some of the lyrics and published what it called "a few blush-inducing listens."  Take a gander of what you can expect, as if you didn't already know.

1. “I know that he hurt you, I’ve got the kind of sex that heals” — “You Deserve Better”

2. “This is a sex proposal” — the tamest lyric on “Marry the P***y”

3. “Make your body sing to me / Sounds like R. Kelly’s greatest hits” — “Lights On”

4. “Every boy, every girl, every child around the world / From the 90s, up until today, was made off me” — “Shut Up”
