R. Kelly Promises to Finish Michael Jackson Album

Back when R. Kelly was hyping up his forthcoming Untitled LP, the sex-crazed R&B whiz mentioned that he had been working on five tracks with Michael Jackson before the star's sudden death. Now, the Trapped in the Closet scribe has come out and said he plans to finish MJ's unfinished album.

In an interview with Black Voices, Kelly explained his plans for completing the record. "I recorded five joints for Michael Jackson. And we had been talking on the phone about his new album, and I was going to finish what Michael was doing at the time. We're going to get it out though. Michael liked the way I would try to sing the songs just like him."

From his smooth voice all the way through his struggles with public controversy, Kelly seems like a suitable heir to the Jackson throne. Just be ready for the new Michael Jackson record to contain a plethora of bad sex metaphors.

First things first, Kelly's Untitled will be out on October 13.
