TP-2.com (an abbreviation of Twelve Play-2) is the fourth solo album by American R&B recording artist R. Kelly, released on November 7, 2000, by Jive Records.
Released as the "sequel" to Kelly's 12 Play , TP-2.com had party songs, relationship-themed ballads and a gospel-influenced song, but it still had Kelly's trademark sensuality with songs including "The Greatest Sex" and "Strip for You". The album was most notable for two number 1 R&B hits: the tribute song "I Wish", and the party anthem, "Fiesta (Remix)", which featured Jay-Z. The latter duet inspired the two to create the collaborative project The Best of Both Worlds . Another notable single was the risque "Feelin' On Yo Booty". The album has since been certified 4× Platinum. The album was Kelly's second album to peak at number 1 on the Billboard 200 and the fourth to top the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. TP-2.com was the number one R&B Album on the Billboard Year-End chart for 2001.

TP-2.com received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Sonicnet wrote, "TP-2.com isn't the masterpiece Kelly seems capable of, but it's as strong an R&B album as any since, well, since R., balancing the carnal and the spiritual as convincingly as anyone's done it since Prince in the 1980s." Billboard wrote, "Not to be outdone by the generation of singers he has influenced, he raises the bar with the 19-track set." The Village Voice wrote, "TP-2.com is a magnum opus of the genre, milking both Kelly's recent reflection and his baser inclinations for all they're worth." Wall of Sound wrote, "All in all, the production is sharp, with some fairly clever vocal and percussion arrangement ideas throughout." Billboard magazine ranked TP-2.com at number 94 on the magazine's Top 200 Albums of the Decade. [8]
