Happy Face 29 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 "Trapped In The Closet" is a single released by R&B singer R. Kelly. The song is an ongoing narrative which Kelly has sent to radio one part at a time. As of November 2005, twelve parts have been released, played on radio. The story is about a man named Sylvester, portrayed by Kelly. Sylvester is likely taken from Kelly's middle name. The song is notable and unique for many reasons including its absence of a chorus, its detailed and linear narration of a story in a conversational and sometimes rambling manner, its dramatics, and its dangling cliffhangers that occur between parts. Detractors of the song argue the story is told with a choppy, semi-literate tone, while the music and vocalization are the same in every part of the song. Kelly maintains that he is a genius for pioneering what he calls "hip-hopera." The song has also reached a minor cult status as a piece of unintentional comedy, some fans going as far to refer to it as the "Plan 9 of music videos." Chapter 9 is genius http://www.youtube.com/w/Trapped-in-the-Cl...%20the%20closet :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Now the midget jumps out of the cabinet and stomps the policeman on his toe, The policeman's hopping around on one leg screaming "Son of a Bitch" while he runs under the tay-bowl." Who rhymes "toe" and "table"? I think this is the greatest comedy I've ever seen. I've had to go and order the full DVD... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BI5MQ...?v=glance&n=130 Apparently there's a very earnest commentary by R where he states in all seriousness "'Trapped in the Closet' will be around long after I've gone, it has had a "global closet effect."" It can't arrive soon enough tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
