Learning this news yesterday, I couldn’t imagine things possibly getting better, unless somehow it became available before Black Friday.Īnd then I got a frantic text message this morning that read: “go to Vulture right now kelz chuck kelz rufus.” Not an e-mail, a text message. Very unclear what we have done to deserve this. As for the release date, November 23? Next month? Less than 40 days? As the old saying goes, “Kwanzaa comes early.” Just incredible. I mean, how many things do we have that are actually forever? We as humans don’t even know if we’re making it through 2012, but even the #Mayans have stated that Trapped lives on, with or without the human race. I’ve got like a hundred chapters to come. They’ll be coming out the day after Thanksgiving. Why? Because the final two exchanges were enough to bring my life (and hopefully yours) to a complete standstill:Īre you working on another installment of Trapped in the Closet? Stay strong R.Yesterday, Time published an interview with Robert Kelly in which he answered questions about his health, his tour, and his thoughts on sex vs. Sad as it is, I know the noble will rise above. It happened to James Brown back in the day, too. is the subject of a blackballing, witch hunt just like M.J. Led Zep were notorious for it.remember the Red Snapper Incident? How about Motley Crue and their Telephone Mom Trick? Then you have Bel, Biv, Devoe alluding to the vitiation underage groupies in a hit, oft-radio played song. Groupie abuse is par for the course in music. Presently he's being vilified for alleged crimes against groupies/goldiggers. brings so much imagination and originality to a stale, repetitive, genre where the wheel (with 24" rims) is constantly being reinvented. His performance, along with everybody else involved, is bravura. I picked these chapters from the saga to review because another genius shows up here, namely preternaturally talented songwriter Will Oldham (a friend of the R.) as the Village People-esque cop. I dare you to find a smoother voice in the game, not to mention the unique lyrical abilities.
Furthermore, the man is one of just a precious few soul singers left who doesn't have to depend on gimmicks, artifice, and/or studio magic (pro-tools, vexatious vocoders, etc.) to record a record.
Which is pretty damn profound when you consider a near flawless body of work.
Because you can't have R&B without the R.! When you consider all 33 (ever notice how that number pops up everywhere, especially in movies?) chapters this is surely the psychosoul (his own genre) genius' magnum opus.
