I just caught two minutes of "Trapped in the Closet" part 435, WOW, this guy is actually mentioned in the same sentence as Stevie and Marvin in the world or RB. Thats pretty scary, Imagine if Stevie Wonder did 65 parts to Living for the city or something like that, does anyone else see a problem here, besides the fact that the whole premise and the song itself "suck". This is one of the reasons for the demise or "real music", think how RB artists who work hard at getting music out there, think how artists like DWELE, or LYFE or MINT CONDITION or RAPHAEL feel when they cant get played even on BET, but this shit can. Sure its mostly to do with lame ass buying public, but its also radio and videos fault for not rising up and supporting artists. And for those who feel Sales dictate whats good, this last R KELLY cd did not "sell" it shipped BIG numbers but i work in retail and more than 80 percent of it sat on shelves and then got sent back.

I agree. "Trapped in the Closet" is an awful song. The music sounds goofy, the story is ridiculous, and it doesn't even have a nice beat or anything. It has absolutely no redeeming value.

Oh C'mon! You mean you didn't like it when you found out that the R's wife was cheating on him with the cop? That shit had me on the floor! That cop looked like he was 65 and this hot ass chick is cheating on her rich attractive husband with HIM! WIth the fucking COP!!!

He lipsynced it on mtv vmas it was the worse moment in vma history. It looked totally stupid why did he get so much airplay and now he want to release closet dvd which will have 12 parts to it

its at least entertaining...


when I first heard it...I laughed....


I sorta like R.Kelly's music....I just don't like the man.

guitarslinger44 said:

Not really, Im just waiting for the part where R Kelly, starts talking about when "he goes to bathroom and takes a Shit" I mean he describes every other friggin move he makes go for it all

I think R.kelly easily can be placed among the greatest soul artist of the last two decades. I don't care too much for his last album though (his weakest since the debut) and the "Trapped in the closet" series is pretty ridiculous.

this song is so shitty , i can't belive crap like this is actually referred to as "music"

R Kelly needs to be locked the fuck up. Period.

The VMA performance was sooo bad!!! There should be no coming back from that.

Yes it was, even more reason why he needs to be put away. Stop him from making such shitty music. He looked so lost on that stage performing that crap. I had to cover my face cause I was so embarrased for him.

The whole point of Trapped In the Closet is its supposed to entertaining and funny, thats why its goofy as hell. It aint meant to be taking seriously.

Lyfe DOES get both airplay and video-play on BET...but just dont look foward to seeing it make the countdown on 106 & Park - vote shows are strictly for 14 year olds. Dwele's first album got them same acceptence as Lyfe's, but Virgin Records just aint pushing his new album right. Mint Condition and Raphael Saadiq are indie (and true) artists and indie artists never get mainstream attention unless the puttin out pop songs.

Then I guess 80% of his catalogue is to be taken the same way...right?

can't wait to see this next installmen!

get ready for part 69

its where R Kelly drops his pants and starts fucking a 13 year old girl up the arse and pisses on her

his wife walks in and shits on his face

great story

long may it continue

i hope the song keeps continuing until 2010,

Which part is the part where he makes the 13 year old eat the shit off of his face?

tommysoul said:

I don't agree, but I will say this: his competition isn't that heavy. Really, there haven't been that many truly great soul artists in the past 2 decades.

We're just talkin about this "Trapped In The Closet" shit, remember? Hate if you want, but 80% of his catalog is actually good.

Prospect said:

Except that it's neither entertaining nor funny.

Oh lawd...Another person with low standards.

DIRE.

Oh lawd...another Star Wars nerd tryin to criticize me about havin low standards.

Talk about a bunch of stinky geeks standin line for about a week waitin to see a weak-ass movie.

Prospect said:

Star Wars nerd? Dude my avatar has nothing to do with weak ass R."Pee On You" Kelly and his non-lyrical bullshit that you call music....It's embarrassing. All you have for an argument is a diss on Darth Vader? Try again youngin'. Little Brother did a song that reflected just how IGNORANT R.Kelly-type music is...Peep it right here.

I wasnt even arguing with opinion R. Kelly's music - what you think about him is fine. But I was just gettin back at you for criticizing me saying I had "low-standards" - dont make a cheapshot, if you cant take one back, kid.

Yeah, I think R.Kelly has alot good songs - in fact, I would say his OLDER shit is much better, but it aint like I think he's the greatest best thing to happened to music. And I already have Little Brother's album, so I'll pass on they download, "Darth." But keep on contributing piracy and these 'real' artists aint gonna be around much longer - they already got it bad enough.

"Trapped In the Closet" sounds much better on paper than on the airwaves. It's not a terrible idea but it's so damn boring! The song is very lifeless!

My whole household loves the trapped in the closet songs. I see no problem with any of the songs.

Prospect said:

I was simply stating a fact....Hell you dig checkers and I LOVE chess. It is what it is. I wasn't taking a shot. One MUST have low standards if they consider that bovine fecal matter as good, boy. Stick to the discussion. You jealous because you don't have an avatar?LOL... BTW, I BOUGHT 3 copies of Little Brother's latest Cd and PAID for all of their previous work that I own...Stick to what you know "kid".

No, I roll dice, but this aint checkers and chess, your ass is just fussing over the internet - a common hobby for internet geeks.

Its okay if youre too insercure to admit it. "To each their own opinion" - something wise people say - if you cant respect that, then maybe discussion boards (particularly ones that full of grown ups) aint really for you.



I should be telling you the same thing. This is supposed to be about R. Kelly but you'd rather get offbase and criticize/question my taste in music.



Keep telling yourself that, and you might sleep better at night, lil man.



Stick to what you can prove, "kid". Show me some receipts or shut up.



"Ha! I sure told hi...Wait a minute! Let me go back and say something else!" LOL!

Prospect said:

Nice try, but the thread is still abour R Kelly being pathetic. Don't take it so personally...Is he peeing on you too? R Kelly STILL sucks and you're STILL responding to me. Nothing is changing is it?
