Besides the excessive display of opulence and richness in the artwork (which works quite a bit on the laughing muscles) it is mainly the number of guest artists that draws the attention on R. Kelly's CD Double Up. In almost every song 'the king of r & b' is assisted by a colleague from hip hop or r & b. Who are all participating? A small selection: Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Chamillionaire, TI,
… T-Pain (who still uses Autotune), Ludacris, Kid Rock and Keyshia Cole. And with Usher, that other very big name from the R&B, R. Kelly sings the duet Same Girl.
