millions of people enjoy his music and he's made a zillions dollars; I'd say he did pretty well for a dropout

really not looking forward to the revival of "trapped in the closet" culture tho

has there been any word on how it will be released? IFC? Vevo? DVD?

always weird when people break out the "he's successful, so it must be awesome to be him whatever else might be true about him personally" deal

well, that's as presumptive as saying that his life would be better had he stayed in school

The second batch seemed forced and hackneyed, where the first seemed inventive and engagingly odd. I have little hope for any continuation.

"his life" vs "his contributions to art"
but then again, Tyler Perry stayed in school and look at him

as a "stay in school" cautionary tale? are high school dropouts really worried that they may one day turn into R. Kelly? "this guy is a painfully ignorant buffoon" sounds like something a 30 year old college grad who doesn't like R. Kelly would say
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
well that more or less describes DJP tbf

yeah 30, let's keep that

i've enjoyed plenty of r. kelly's music - he's got a commanding voice, good hooks, and a shameless taste for the absurd. but i don't think it's hard to see how someone could find him too embarrassing and tragic to do likewise.

and by "a bit" i mean "a lot," yet i still kinda wanna watch these new ones even if i could barely finish the later ones

i think the whole thing was starting to come off the rails even by chapter 4 or 5, but it was a fun few weeks there

i transcribed the lorem ipsum from his little book.
"Textual texting for verbose placement of words. Blah blaeh blah. Crazy ass shit. In a series of uncommon events that involved several good men and women from the greater chicagoland area, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Stream of consciousness. Typing. Man, I could really use a good sandwich right now. Or some spaghetti. That shit that Joey was eating in chapter 21 looked pretty damn good."
trapped in the closet remains a good time

I read that earlier... this is absolutely fucking insane.

Does the same link need to be pasted on every R.Kelly thread tho
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:53 (six years ago) link
I assume it is for the sake of removing any possible shred of doubt people might have about how fucked up R. Kelly is
I mean, if this is how some R. Kelly fans think:
“In the back of our minds, we were thinking (my daughter) could be around him if I was with her,” J. said. “It didn’t really hit home. Even with the Aaliyah situation, now that I think about it, ‘Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number’ ... but you don’t think about that. You grew up with the song, and you like the song.”
then maybe they need to be spoonfed this info

I have actual work I need to get done and I think the point (which I have been making on this board in some fashion over the past 17 years) has been made.
― this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Monday, 17 July 2017 14:57 (six years ago) link
I think it's good that no R. Kelly thread activity is going to be able to go on credibly unaware of this.
