No joke. I was listening to 12 Play before I went out tonight (er...last night) and around "Back to the Hood of Things" I realized that the album is um pure genius? And that he's come so far since and is horribly underrated as a performer, composer, artist etc.

You lasted that far into the album before realizing that? Surely, you should have recognized his genius by "I Like The Crotch On You," which is easily one of the best song titles in his whole catalog, if not the entire history of recorded music.

I remember when the remix to "Ignition" first dropped and I heard a lot of stations play the whole 7 minutes of both versions together for a while. it would be pretty amazing if stations started playing all 5 parts in a row once they're all out, which has gotta be somewhere near 20 minutes.

wait for it . . . .
CLOSET DRAMAS!
Milton's "Samson Agonistes" is one, and so is R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet", I reckon.

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.
