Album Review: R Kelly - The Buffet

More R Kelly More R Kelly

R Kelly returns in 2015 with his 13th studio album, and you'd be hard pressed to find X-rated wordplay as obvious as this (check the title and make the tenuous assumption that food isn't the only thing being eaten).

"She blow me like a tuba," sings Kelly on the album's catchiest song, Marching Bands, featuring Juicy J. The Drake-isms on a couple of the tracks are to be expected, still, this is a master in his element. His sense of timing and rhythm over wildly different instrumentals, as well as his self-assured cool throughout, should continue to keep fans interested in the 48-year-old.
