R. Kelly - "Trapped In The Closet"

Of course, it also helps that he's nuts.

Sort of like Giles.

I don't know.

I'm too tired to grasp it.

What's the word I'm looking for?

wait for it . . . .

CLOSET DRAMAS!

Milton's "Samson Agonistes" is one, and so is R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet", I reckon.

R. KELLY

FILMS TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET A 5 PART URBAN OPERETTA
ALBUM TP.3 RELOADED IN STORES JULY 5
PLAYA'S ONLY FEATURING THE GAME HITS RADIO MAY 19

New York, NY ... Jive Recording artist and multi-Grammy, Billboard and Soul Train award winner R. Kelly will release the melodrama Trapped in the Closet to accompany his 10th studio album release TP.3 Reloaded on July 5, 2005. After a decade of being a true musical artist and selling well over 36 million albums worldwide R. Kelly has focused his considerable talents to the world of film and shoots a 16 minute short.

Trapped in the Closet, which was shot in High Definition format, is reminiscent of the serial movies of yesteryear full of suspense, mystery, drama and packed with unexpected twists and turns. To put it in modern terms its "Desperate Housewives" meets "Desperate Husbands." You will definitely ask to see this domestic drama again and again.

The score is based on the 5 part song "Trapped in the Closet (Chapters 1- 5)" and the first 2 chapters, which have recently been released, have been welcomed by has fans and demand at radio is incredible as the following numbers will attest. "Trapped in the Closet (Chapter 1 of 5)" has jumped from 21 to 12 on the Billboard Urban charts; and just a half week after being released "Trapped in the Closet (Chapter 2 of 5)" has followed in its footsteps and has jumped from 19 to 10 on the Radio & Records charts.

The complete dramatic operetta will only be available as a bonus DVD on his upcoming album TP.3 Reloaded; it will contain additional footage and a mix of the best of technology and R. Kelly's creative mind that will make the viewer feel Trapped in the Closet and fully immersed in this virtual world. The first part of Trapped in the Closet will air on BET's Access Granted on 5/25. Additionally a video for the upcoming single "Playa's Only" featuring The Game was recently shot in Miami. R. Kelly has been a musical force to be reckoned with for over a decade and he has returned to his roots to show everyone how it's done; "Trapped in the Closet (Chapter 1 of 5)" is only the beginning.

Very, VERY carefully phrased.

... ok i took a few minutes to doublecheck any storch trax that mightve made me look foolisher (no luck, altho it reminded me of when i blurted out keyboard classic "whateverhappenedtoleonardparts1-5!!" at a roots gig and black thought laffed) (shdve kept that to myself huh) with 'playas only' on loop and laziness flowered a little into trancey lack just like 'candy shop' and 'lean back'! so storch is all about endless repeat play enfeebling ur brain. still not great mind

does anyone else think it sounds kinda like R.'s doing a Stevie Wonder impression on Chapter 1? especially the first few lines.

S

R. is going to be on Access Granted on BET on Wednesday at 7:30 for the making of the "Trapped" video!

well here we are, four of us in total shock,
me and her
i close my mouth, swallow spit
cuz i'm thinking to myself, this is some deep shit
then i said, "so you're gonna tell me he's the one you've been talking to?"
he says yes, i says no, he says yes, i says no,
he says, "it's the truth"
i yell, "all a y'all ass-crazy, let me up out this door,
because this is way more than i bargained for."
and then she says "wait, i'm sure we can all fix this."
and then i said, "i'm late, plus i don't got a damn thing to do with this."
and then she said, "but wouldn't you like to know how it all began?"
then i thought to myself and said, "quick, you got three minutes."
and then it got real quiet, i said, "somebody start talkin'"
then she said, "my god, rufus, i've got just one question:
how could you do something like this? i'm so hurt."
then he looked at her and said "it's ... please, you've got nerves.
with all your club-hoppin', lyin', sayin' you was shopping,
and now here you are in our home, and you callin' me wrong."
she said, "ok, you busted me, and that much i agree, you've caught me cheating, but this is a little extreme!"
he said, "you are my wife, sleeping behind my back, and now i come home and you've got him in the closet, how extreme is that?"
she says, "but she's a he!"
then he said, "please you can't judge me."
she says, "rufus, this is crazy."
and i said, "stop arguing! i did not stay here to hear y'all chew each other out! so get to the point, or i swear i'm out!"
"excuse me, please, but i think i can explain what's going on in here. my name is chuck, and i've been knowin' rufus 'bout a year. creepin' around with him has been a livin' hell. sneakin' in and out of hotels..."
i said, "brother, spare me the detail"
and then rufus said, "chuck please, don't say nothin' else"
and then she screams, "rufus you son of a bitch!"
and he says "kathy go to hell"
i said "i thought your name was mary, that's what you said at the party. man, this is gettin' scary, i'm gonna shoot somebody."
then rufus start yellin' and screamin', sayin' "kathy this is all your fault!"
she throws a pillow at him and says "you was creepin' too, the only difference is you didn't get caught"
chuck scream out "we're in love"
kathy says "love my ass!"
rufus said [they're gettin' married] [?]
then i shoot one in the air
then i say "not another one of you sons of bitches say a word, cuz all of this shit i'm gonna do is unheard."
grab my [sailor] [?], sayin' "this is so wrong"
call up my home and a man picks up the phone.

lol. surely they all end up steppin' to the Lord or somethin' (till 6 in the mo'ning).
thinkin about it, in part 1 he says it's seven in the morning. as he always seems to party til 6, how could he drive to the lady's place, have some sex in the kitchen and wake up at 7 ??
