[Video] R. Kelly Performs on Jimmy Kimmel + "Black Panties" Stream
R. Kelly essentially took over 'The Jimmy Kimmel Show' last night, performing three songs from his recently-released album Black Panties ("Genius", "You Deserve Better", "My Story"), with some help from 2 Chainz. Along with the songs, there was also a passionate reading of the lyrics to "Genius", as performed by Benedict Cumberbatch and Kellz even recreated the album artwork to Black Panties by posing onstage while playing a woman like a violin. . . only R. Kelly. This is the same guy who dry-humped Lady Gaga a couple weeks ago on national television and who released an album that will have you needing a shower and a cigarette afterwards, so no real surprise here. Check out the video of all three songs below, along with a full stream of R. Kelly's twelfth studio album.

R. Kelly: "Lights On"
R. Kelly has had quite a lead up to his latest release, Black Panties. After enjoying a summer which saw him headline both Bonaroo and Pitchfork festivals, a slew of new videos and his dry hump of Lady Gaga last week on Saturday Night Live, it's safe to say Kellz is back. Yesterday he dropped the latest single from his reportedly and not surprising over-sexed fantasy album. On "Lights On" the Chicago crooner talks about his love of keeping things lit while under the sheets. Check it out below and keep an eye out for the Black Panties release December 10.

R. Kelly: "Cookie"
R. Kelly has never been shy about being sexual. After all, he famously released "Ignition Remix" during a sexual assault trial, complete with the line "Let me stick my key in your ignition" much to his attorney's misgivings. Anyway, the Pied Piper is back with yet another single off his upcoming album, Black Panties due out November 11 and, once again, he's not holding anything back. Check out "Cookie" courtesy of Audiomack below.
R. Kelly announces "Black Panties" release date
The Pied Piper of R&B music announced the release date for his latest album, Black Panties. At a listening party for the album in Atlanta, R. Kelly told those in attendance that the album would debut on November 11. If his Pitchfork performance was any inkling of what is to come from Kells, then it may be safe to say he's back. The video below from Revolt shows highlights from the listening party and an interview with R. Kelly.
