Yea. How can you state that you are only including "albums that are completely identifiable in the R&B genre" and have Control, Miseducation and CrazySexyCool over any R. Kelly album? Kellz 90's/early 2000's albums are so impactful that almost 20 years later there's still new R&B cats following his script. They messed up after the Top 5. They don't even have him as a honorable mention
