2859290, Singing about sex has to be stupid & juvenile?

Like it's not possible for a grown man (or woman) to express raw carnal desires without sounding like a reject from the 2 Live Crew circa 1990? R Kelly himself has been able to do that for the majority of his career without coming across like this. There is profanity with a purpose and there is goofiness disguised as "street cred" and this album falls in the latter category. It sounds like an old cat trying to be down. "hey kids you like cussing? You like hearing what a real nigga I am? check this muthafucking shit out you bitchass muthafuckas". He has reduced himself down to the level of DRS, Jaheim and all of those wack ass R&B thugs that imitated his style to some degree and dumbed it down to an even lower level.
