I'd heard the "Trapped In The Closet " was bad, but I watched with an open mind, thinking, "It can't be as bad as I'm hearing." Folks have a way of exaggerating, especially on the internet. I'm a believer in watching/reading things in order to form my own opinion. So, after weeks of avoiding it, I caved in and watched endured all five parts in one sitting. "Trapped In The Closet " is, without a doubt, the worst video I have ever seen. At least in this century. The songs suck hilariously on their own, but the videos suck and blow at the same time. It's like a Tyler Perry play, but instead of Medea waving a gun around, you have Arruh whipping out his Baretta and alternating between waving it around and scratching his head with it. And the lyrics! Oh, the lyrics! Checks under the bed Then opens the dresser He looks at the closet I pull out my Baretta He walks up to the closet He comes up to the closet Now he's at the closet Now he's opening the closet...closet...closet...
The only thing really offensive about this video is his apparent expectation that we take this seriously. As if there's something re-e-eally deep going on here about infidelity. But there really isn't. Back with "Be Careful" by Sparkle, "Friend of Mine"( Remix) by Kelly Price and some of the Ron "Mr Biggs" Isley songs, I thought R. Kelly's mini-operas were interesting and had promise. At the time I thought, "he should do more songs like this". Boy, was I wrong. If anyone else had done "TITC", they would have been called a two-bit hack. After this, I will hear no more "Arruh is such a genius" crap. Never again. There is tons of evidence, but "TITC" is the capper... Give me a freaking break. Haha, that's so true ;D I watched the first episode and I'm like 'what's he doing with that gun?'

No, I read what Fusion said. I didn't understand it at all, Grace. "What was that? What's happening?" I understood him, believe it or not.

For some reason... I wanna see this now... LOL. Go on, I dare you. Try to watch more than one without laughing 'til your throat is sore. Better yet, try to find anything logical about what's going on.

Of course you understood, Mistress Kimron. Of course. In that episode 9, have you heard his impression of a southern accent? What's up with that? ;D I haven't gotten that far. I can't even bring myself to click on the link to Part 9.

When did R. Kelly start rapping? He calls himself the "Pied Piper of R&B", if I'm not mistaken. I understand what you're saying, believe me. I love Rap (at least most Rap up until about 1992 - 93) and I know Rap/Hip-Hop is not particularly beloved on this board, for the most part. That said, I stand by my belief that TitC is a hot mess deserving of derision and scorn. What did you like most about it? I'm curious.

Alright, I just have to post a link to this video. It's a skit of the 'Trapped in the closet' series by MADtv and it's too funny ;D MADtv - Trapped in the cupboard [Contains adult language] If you really like the TitC series then you probably won't enjoy this, but remember, it's just a bit of fun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ of course any topic involving a rapper could contain nothing but negative remarks on this board. figures. w/e. i like the trapped in the closet thingie that came out last july. yeah i thought it was pretty sweet. =] <3samm. I haven't said anything against R Kelly or rappers or rap music. It may not be my favorite kind of music but I don't hate it and I'd never insult something like that because it's just a matter of opinion. know what you mean though, this board isn't exactly rap friendly

sometimes the best way to talk about serious things is through humor, and that seems to be what he is trying to do

I found a video from the DVD which had commentary by R Kelly and he explained what was happening in the video. He did it totally seriously which makes me think that it wasn't meant to be funny
