R. Kelly's "Trapped in a Closet"

I'm pretty speechless about this series of songs/videos. I really can't articulate my feelings of horror. Perhaps someone else can put the words into my mouth because whenever I see this nightmare on VH-1 I find that I am at a loss. I thought "Feelin' On Yo Booty" and "You Remind Me of My Jeep" were atrocious but R. Kelly has outdone himself.

I read a review of it in the paper the other day and it sounds pretty sickening. He's a sick bastard, anyway, so it's not surprising in the least.

This is the only time I've ever thought that someone should be locked away for his music alone! :laugh::lol:

Seriously though, Josh, you must see the videos. You must! You won't believe how comical they are! But then they're so comical and horrible that you can't laugh! It's like it's beyond that! I can't even explain my feelings here!!! :shocked:

I've felt that way about Eminem for years. I'll gladly do the honors, too.

I'm shuddering at the thought. :o

Didn't they find a tape of him urinating on a minor? And when exactly is he actually going to stand trial for being a pervert? Ever? Never? Soon?

Old poop here. Never heard the song, never saw the video, and no cable here. Can you describe the thing?

Heh. I do hope he starts that rotting soon.

I've never seen the new video, but the man just has no class and is a real sick f*ck.

I thought it was a joke at first. Then when I figured out it wasn't... was like... :shrug: ... and ya, M and M came to mind. :nod: Many folks had the same reaction to his particular "style" when he first arrived on the Big Scene. :eek:

Whatever... I'm glad the remote is in MY control, I just change the channel. If I were the parent of a small child, I might consider tuning out MTV or whatever channel airs that cra* using Vchip technology.

ha ha, i didnt find it like terrible. I mean yeah the man is a little of his nest, but come on...have you seen john waters films? Now thats F-ed up. (circa, Pink Flamingos..poleyster)

either way, the kids at home will eat it up and it will be number 3 on TRL. Thats the most street cred you could give him

Those of you who haven't seen it probably will eventually. If I'm correct, it's still pretty new. But they actually had a special all about it on VH-1 and MTV2 last night!

Okay, the lyrics for Chapters 1-5 (there are more to come) are here , but let me tell you that you have to see the video to get the full effect. It's like Greg was saying. You have to see the expressions and all the general ridiculousness of it. :laugh: Note how R. Kelly almost always looks befuddled and too stupid to figure out what's going on, and he wrote it! :lol:

And yeah, I'm wondering when the hell he's going to stand trial. :shrug:

Okay, for anyone who doesn't have cable or whatnot, I've uploaded "Trapped In a Closet, Part 1" at yousendit.com. Here's the link-- http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=29WXEYJRIWPS81N3VS2V80EYWE

Parts 3 and 4 are probably the most entertaining, but this works. Enjoy! :eek:

part 2

Okay, and here's "Part 2" of the saga--http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...I2RUVBCES42KM9

That's all I got. It would be even scarier if I actually had all of them. :shocked:

I think R Kelly is sick - period. I used to think he was hot but anyone that abuses children in ways he has is disgusting. That said, this song(s) and video(s) are so atrocious they are laughable and I wonder if he is being serious! I will admit I had to listen to all 5 chapters to find out what happens and it just sounds like an ok song gone really really bad. Whatever R...get help.

The snippets of interviews I saw on VH-1 convinced me that is actually serious. He said something like how the song teaches you a lesson about how small you are. (WTF?)

Surely you are not comparing R. Kelly to John Waters. I would have to beat a bitch's ass over that. :laugh:

I've watched the video for the first time Sunday... I would have given to the other guy the gun. :nod:

All I've seen of it are the Best Week Ever/Soup people making fun of it.

"I'm about to climax." :lol:

Heh. The first time I read that I thought it said "I would have to eat a bitch's ass over that." I was wondering, "How is that a bad thing??"

I'm working on 3 hours of sleep. I probably should go to bed.
