vMusic: R. Kelly, "Double Up" (full album snippets)

The countdown to "Double Up": don't ask him what his name is, but the album title may refer to twins

Watch R. Kelly TV, look at photos and most importantly, stream pieces of R.'s new record (which has already leaked to the internet in its entirety). Below, our snap judgements on the snippets:
1. "The Champ": Impassioned piano ballad with boxing-ring theme. He sings: "I'm opposite of the demon that faces me. I've been through hell, lived in the belly of the beast..."
2. "Double Up": Club track about two ladies (one on each arm).
3. "Tryin' to Get a Number": Self-explanatory.
4. "Get Dirty": Jeep beats for a whips-and-chicks track.
5. "Leave Your Name": Outgoing message concept ballad: "I'm sure to get back with you if I'm not asleep or smokin on some trees or havin a little sex or if I'm not faded or makin a baby."
6. "Freaky in the Club": Sexy, R-signature track with a little laidback claps.
7. "The Zoo": R. making jungle-animal noises and a Tarzan holler, simulating how he likes his lady to get vocal in the bed.
8. "I'm a Flirt (RMX)": Uh, think you know this one.
9. "Same Girl" f. Usher: Sensitive R&B dudes fighting over the same lucky chica.
10. "Real Talk": On this ballad, Kells tells it like it is to his regular woman: an explanation, of sorts, for all the club chicks of the last nine tracks.
11. "Hook It Up": Piano bridge is crazy while Kells gets it in with shorty.
12. "Rock Star": Kells mentions Petron for the second or third time on this one: Shop Boys take note, here's how a rock star rolls.
13. "Best Friend": A cheatin' Keyshia Cole argues with her man (R.) and his best friend (Polow) in this amazing story-song.
14. "Rollin'": Your subwoofer will love you for this hip-hop banger in which R plays the player.
15. "Sweet Tooth": Homie wants to eat your candy - says you taste like Skittles - while the signature faucet-beat drips.
16. "Havin' a Baby": A sweet track about how happy dude is to be the daddy of his lady's baby.
17. "Sex Planet": Wherein R. takes the sexaphor to its logical next step: a rocket clearing a galaxy. You know who it is! Stream the album here.
