R Kelly - Double Up

Self-acclaimed the king of R&B, R Kelly recently released his eight studio album entitled Double Up has already seen his first single I'm A Flirt featuring T.I and T. Pain hitting the top of R&B charts globally. The song was originally from Bow Wow's The Price of Fame album. This time, Kelly did not involve Bow Wow in his remix version, instead, he brought in T.I and T. Pain to create a brand new vibe of the song.

R Kelly got his fame with his mega hit single I Believe I Can Fly, the theme song for the movie Space Jam. From then, he's been remarked as the King of R&B with his exotic beats and groovy tunes.

Here we have two versions of the music video. Of course we have the original version that you see on music television channels. But the second one was did by some enthusiast, mashing up R Kelly single with Broken Social Scene's 7/4 (Shoreline), creating a whole new remix of the song. An approach to blend in R&B with indie rock, I think it sounds perfectly fine and experimenting music with blending different genres together, it's a total cool idea. So, Mr. Enthusiast, keep up your good work and do more remixes like that!

In the mean time, check out these awesome clips...

1) the original version as seen on tv.
