R.Kelly Albums Ranked Worst to Best

[@goodvibestv707]

R Kelly music had the whole house Party go crazy. Especially in the 00's era lol

[@Soclean07]

R. Kelly is the personification of "He Aint S*** But He's The S***" , a sick man but a musical Genius, two things can absolutely be true.

Kells can have his own CT ranked list of: Features Written/Produced tracks Remixes Although TP was groundbreaking and there would be not TP2 without it, I have TP-2 as the better album, even as his magnum opus. R is my favorite R Kelly album, but the double discs have some skips. TP-2 aside from I Mean, has no skips. Fiesta wasn’t considered bad until the remix came out and just made it look g league. Slept on songs: Forever More-Chocolate Factory Gettin Freaky in the club-Double Up Music Must Be a lady-Love Letter FYI, I’m sure you guys knew this, but R Kelly and Snoop Dogg’s “Platinum “ lays the groundwork for Tyga’s “Lapdance”…… Great list !

"G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T." by Changing Faces is an Arruh masterpiece. But he really clowned on the "Life" Soundtrack too. "Fortunate" being Center-Of-The-Earth hot, of course.

The first list I agree all the way with. One track I always like off of Happy People was "Pause, Flash". Didn't he produce the remix to At Your Best? One of the dopest R&B beats ever.

[@bigzizzo]

As a Chicagoan myself, I can tell you that this man music was the soundtrack to so many of our lives. 12 Play is the album that he’s most known for. His most identifiable songs are on 12 Play and the remix to Bump and Grind is his most popular song here in the city. 12 Play R. Kelly Love Letter TP. 2 Chocolate Factory R. In that order in my opinion. It’s a shame that such a musical genius will up being known for something other than music. I’ve met him and seen him around Chicago a couple of times and for the most part he seemed to be very shy and quiet. A musical genius!!!!

[@brandongordon2392]

[@LaCheleWallace]

Interesting. I'm not qualified to rank R. Kelly LPs simply because I haven't heard all of them. All I know is 1991's _Born into the 90's_ - 1995's _R. Kelly._ Nah, of course I know the singles, a few cuts and records he's crafted for other artists throughout the years, but I haven't physically purchased an R. Kelly LP in almost 30 years. He was always eh to me. There's just something about him that I could never quite put my finger on. I'm not even talking about the allegations. There's just something about HIM that never fully clicked w/ my spirit. Anyhow, it's always a trip to see folks praise _12 Play_ when only ½ of it is good. Y'all know _12 Play_ has some awful cuts on it. My favorite ended up being _Sex Me._

[@tmoney1574]

Top 5 to me - 5. Born Into The 90's. 4. Chocolate Factory 3. R. Kelly 2. 12 Play 1. R. The remixes on Born Into The 90's (Honey Love Remix/Slow Dance Remix/She's Got That Vibe Extended Version) is better than any single on Love Letter or TP3 Reloaded to me. R. Kelly (the album) is EXTREMELY underrated btw.

[@camronshean1758]

17:17 That's because both songs sample James Brown's song The Payback

[@mikeg9186]

Throw This Money On You is a banger, although Double Up doesn’t have any real bangers on it, the production on, it makes it better than as least 5 or 6 of those other albums and number one should of been the 1st or 2nd tp

Well done for doing this video. I've made one like it myself. I'm a fan of his music and most people you encounter on the internet who have a problem with anyone listening to him are hypocrites as they listen to artists who are criminals themselves. However, it's ridiculous to say what you have about his sexually themed songs on Black Panties when he was doing that his whole career. You sound like you're trying way too hard at times to justify making this video with all of those shots you take at him instead of just sticking to your guns and talking about the music. If you have such an issue, don't make a video to make revenue off the man. This order is decent. The main problems I have is that Chocolate Factory is too high. The best few songs are great, but not as great as those on many of his other albums, and what I don't enjoy, I enjoy less than his other lesser tunes on his other albums. And then R. as this best album... It depends how you look at double albums. There are many amazing songs on the 2 discs, but there are some of his most boring songs too that he put on an album. 12 Play, R. Kelly, Happy People, TP-2, Love Letter are all more consistent bodies of work than R, that has many skips.

[@leonzaduncan2438]
