The R. in R&B Collection, Vol. 1 Reviews:
He has done it again!!! 
2004-11-17 - The album has a lot of songs that goes back to "born into the 90s." It is a great combinations of songs that will have you sining throughout the CD. It also has the Thoia Thoing song on there which is a banger. The remix CD sounds good with the 'down low remix', bump n grind remix, i can't sleep remix, gotham city remix, and if i can turn back the hands of time.
A Serious Reviewer
2004-07-18 - Let me tell you all, in a stream of words, what R. Kelly's new CD means. First of all, it's nice to see an artist not completely obscured by a golden shower of jewelry. Early leaks of this project said that Kelly piddled his studio time away; however, this young wiz has done it again.
Missing are the tinkling of bells or wind instruments so many artists choose to lend credence to their compilations; instead R. Kelly has dumped all his talent into a smooth blend of remixes that seem to just slide out of the man. Considering the extreme competion for the dwindled music market, it has to be a load off that his CD has done so well.
In closing, R. Kelly had done it again, rating a solid #2 in the world of music.
If You Want Some Old-School R. Kelly, This Is The One To Buy
2004-04-26 - From his 1991 debut, Born Into The 90's to his latest, Chocolate Factory, The R. In R&B Collection Vol.1 is a great compilation of R. Kelly's biggest hits. Now, let's get one thing clear: this is a 2-disc compilation of hits and remixes. Disc 1 has 18 #1 hits, some of them are newly recorded songs. My favorite songs has to be "Bump & Grind", the sensual, "Your Body's Calling", "Step Into The Name Of Love", "Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)", "Touched A Dream", the classic, "Honey Love", "When A Woman's Fed Up", "I Wish", "I Believe I Can Fly", and "You Remind Me of Something". All 10 of those tracks are R. Kelly's best works. Disc 2 is a disc of 4 remixes plus a bonus track, "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time", which is R. Kelly's greatest song ever. The new mixes of "Bump & Grind" and "Down Low" are better than the original versions. R. Kelly really needs to release a remix album. To my advantage, this special remix bonus CD is just an EP. This collection is missing some great tracks. There is totally nothing from the R. Kelly/ Jay-Z collabration, Best Of Both Worlds or the bootlegged, Loveland. I would've added "Get This Money featuring Jay-Z", "Half On A Baby", "Heaven I Need A Hug", "Did You Ever Think", "One Man" (from the album R.), "I Wish (Remix)", "I Can't Sleep (If I)", "Feelin' On Yo Booty", and "Only The Loot Can Make Me Happy". I was a little disappointed, but this collection is still hot. The R. In R&B Collection Vol.1 is a little incomplete, but Vol.2 will probably complete the whole R. Kelly saga. Buy this essential collection with TP-2.Com and the double-disc opus, R. The R. In R&B Collection Vol.1 is a must buy. A-
A decade of decadence...............
2004-03-21 - Say what you want about R. Kelly (and believe me, you've earned the right to), but there is no figure more important in modern R&B in the last 10 years than Robert Kelly. NONE. Though he has only two classic albums(Twelve Play and TP2.com),he has more hits than Bobby Brown has had on Whitney Houston(bad analogy;I know). But some songs are missing; where's "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time"? Where's the "I Wish" remix? Where's "Feelin' On Your Booty"? Other than that, this is perfect; on great touch is the bonus CD, which has hard to find renixes which were only avaliable on B-sides and soundtracks.
Missing one of the artist's best but....
2004-03-16 - The liner notes penned by Rob Marriott and the stunning photos adorning the sleeve, as well as the bevy of songs from the artist's twelve-year (and counting) reign as one of contemporary R & B/hip hop's best make this disc an essential purchase.
Yeah, he left out "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time", but most greatest hits packages are not all-inclusive.
And the eighteen found in this package are SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
