R. Kelly Trapped Between a Closet and a Hard Place with Recent Comments

2007_5_17_trapppedincloset.jpgShh, shh, quiet
Hurry up and get in the closet
Hip Hop Soul Magazine said, "The things that have been written about you would make lesser men wither or simply want to give up."
I said, "So I have to walk with a certain humility. I have to walk with love in my heart for those that hate me. I have to. I have to get out and touch people in order for me to continue to feel the pulse of the world."
Shit think, shit think, shit quick, put me in the closet
They gonna make jokes about how I like to bang little girls
Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass up out this mess?
"I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now."
Shit, when people gonna realize what I sang was true?
I'm the world's greatest; don't need no apologies from this thug
“My greatest competition is, well, me.”
The New York Post says I have a swollen head
They ain’t listening to what I said
New album dropping on May 29
But the court’s callin’ me in on Friday for the sex tape I made
This closet’s the only place I feel safe
Right now, I'm sweating like hell
Now they’re walking up to the closet
They’re coming up to the closet
Now they’re at the closet
Now they’re opening the closet ...

Trapped in the Closet?

What? Tom Cruise is finally starting a music career?

(Seriously, it doesn't sound like the R. Kelly marketing team did much research on the title.)

That's the thing about R.Kelly. No way he is the clueless egomaniac buffoon many people say he is. He is a very *smart* egomaniac. I mean, he is so overwhelmingly over the top all the time in his words and rhymes and videos and projects (how many times has he declared himself "the King of R&B"?)- he pushes, plays it straight but is really winking at us.


Sad. Another glaring reflection of a growing leadership vacuum.
Kelly can make comments like this because he is protected and sheltered by pimps like “Rev. Senator” James Meeks, Jesse Jackson, Oprah Winfry, etc.
Of course Jesse and Meeks are too busy doing their own “bump and grind” for R. Kelly dollars.
And where are Bill Cosby and Barack O’Bama on this? Oh that’s right they only critique poor black folks.

Is it any wonder why we have 16 year old kids boarding buses with out regard, fear, and emotion to blast away other children?

When King was alive, inner city kids could turn on the TV and see some one willing to die for them and it wasn’t just Martin, it was Malcolm, Huey, Stockley, Ali, etc.
Now they turn on the TV and see some one calling himself King and Ali but ready to freak and molest them. Yea Kelly, "What’s Going On"?

(puts down spook beatstick for a second)

@spook:

That was the smartest thing I've read in a while. Kudos.

@thunder...

I share your disbelief and sentiment.

Actually, wouldn't Rufus be MLK since he's the pastor thereby making Sylvester the Malcolm X of the piece?

I'm just sad I wasn't able to work the midget into the post. Everyone loves that part when he comes outta the cabinet and stomps on the policeman's foot. Classic.

R Kelly seems not to realize of the time passing and that he is outdated, he is yesterday news, as is -was- his music. He can try to withdraw attention making more noise and drop their names and make an attempt of cleaning his pervert image, comparing himself with them. This guy cant understand that he do not belong to that level and never will. Dr King did not play with underage girls and later justify it with stupid arguments. He is so stupidly vain and somewhat retarded...I could laugh with anything coming out of his iliterate mouth
