"Rock Star" is the third single off R. Kelly album Double Up. The song features Ludacris and Kid Rock. It is notable for its use of the guitar, a distinct departure for the usually R&B-oriented Kelly. The song has already peaked at number 54 on the Billboard R&B Chart in its second week on the chart. It has also already peaked at number 11 on the iTunes R&B/Soul chart. It was filmed at The Carousel in Lemont, Il.

[edit] Music video

The video begins with R. Kelly, Ludacris and Kid Rock entering an almost empty bar. They set up their instruments and begin to play and the audience get interested in them and come closer. During Ludacris' verse, he is shown rapping at another area of the bar and in R. Kelly's verse, he is shown singing to many women dancing in a tour bus. The video ends with the bar being full of people cheering and chanting.
