Trapped in the Closet? I thought he was accused of HETEROSEXUAL affairs
KROQ's Kevin and Bean (who used to work with Tami Heide) devoted a portion of this morning's show to R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet":
Since the indictment, he has released several songs maintaining his innocence, along with other tunes that border on the pornographic, playing up his image as a self-proclaimed "Sexual Super Freak" and using public interest in his case to keep listeners curious about how far he'll go in his music.
"Trapped in the Closet" is Kelly's boldest step yet....In a masterful marketing move, the elaborate story-song was released to radio and on Kelly's Web site in installments, building suspense as listeners wondered what would happen next in the 16-minute soap opera, which he has described as "a ghetto 'Desperate Housewives.' "
Over a minimal musical backing, Kelly tells the story of six characters caught in a web of adulterous affairs, singing each role himself. In part one, the main character, who is never named, wakes up in bed with Kathy, a woman who isn't his wife. He tries to leave, but Kathy's husband comes up the stairs, so he winds up hiding in the closet.
The central character is discovered when his cell phone rings, and he threatens Kathy's cuckolded husband, a minister named Rufus, by pulling a pistol. At the moment when it seems as if violence is inevitable, Rufus drops that bombshell that he has been cheating as well -- and his homosexual lover, a man named Chuck, arrives at the door.
The narrator leaves Rufus, Kathy and Chuck to sort things out. On the way home, he is stopped for speeding. When he finally arrives, he makes love to his own wife, but he discovers a condom in their bed. Part five ends when the narrator learns that his wife has been cheating on him, too -- with the police officer who stopped him earlier....
The songwriter may have had a more self-serving motive for crafting the mini-opera: In addition to titillating listeners, the song seems to say that "everyone" has some scandalous sexual secret hidden in their closet. The key line is delivered by Minister Rufus when his wife attacks him for sleeping with a man: "Please, you can't judge me."...
Something else to keep in the closet:
