R. Kelly on the Chicago River

R. Kelly Video Shoot

Last night Chicagoist walked past a shoot of an R. Kelly video. Currently facing 14-counts of child pornography, Kelly is Chicago's #1 bad boy rapper R&B artist. Which should make us not like him, but we just love the song Ignition Remix so much that we had to stop and watch the video shoot for a while. The bridge above the boat was crowded with fans and Kelly waved, blew kisses, and was generally nice - responding back when people shouted to him. Kelly, who was pimped out in all white, wasn't the only one getting attention. The boat was filled with scantily-clad honies who drew many admiring men to the bridge.

Also, if anyone can identify what song this video is for from this low-quality .mov clip, it'd be much appreciated!
