In fact, I probably did deep down really dislike this series, but somehow I couldn't stop watching, and laughing my dumbfounded head off. Should I keep going on, or will it kill the suspense? How much you enjoy this series, basically, depends on how much you can take R Kelly singing out a wretched soap opera, like some Z-grade director with aspirations to be legit, and at times the circumstances not making any sense whatsoever. First we have the man himself, played by Kelly, trapped in a closet of his mistresses, then there's the mistress's husband comes home, THEN the husband's man mistress, followed by R's wife, then. Everything is sung by Kelly, playing over all the parts, and it becomes clear very quickly this is some kind of vanity project taken to a whole other level. Yes, there is, of course, God awful music that doesn't vary in the slightest for the entire 45 minute running time (filled with sounds of droplets and, well, you'll have to hear it for yourself in all cringe-worthy glory). He absurdly takes the angle of infidelity to one crazy step after another, until we're met with a very scary notion of a midget in a cop's cabinet. But whatever it was, this is a work where you can never be completely sure whether or not Kelly was serious or not with what he was going (in some interviews he takes himself perhaps far too seriously than someone with his reputation ever should). Maybe it was a call from Jesus, or some higher power that only comes to people whilst on the heaviest of psychotropics. If you asked me what compelled R Kelly to make Trapped in the Closet, I wouldn't the foggiest clue. Well, maybe "The Wire" fans will enjoy it because of Michael Kenneth Williams' presence in here.Ġ out of 1 found this helpful. It's really distracting and it was hard for me to concentrate on the actual story with all these factors. Kelly for being able to sing so long without a break (if he really did that) and for learning the lyrics, but there are no other famous rap operas out there or at least none that I heard of and that probably proves my theory that, all in all, it is not working. Apart from that, there is always drama to his singing which simply does not go well with pretty random and insignificant lyrics that have no dramatic tension at all (which are inevitably here with a runtime of almost 45 minutes). First of all he is singing the voice for all the characters which is especially strange when females are talking and moving their mouths and we hear R. But there are several aspects that simply are not working here. I actually like his voice and there is no doubt that he is one of the most talented singers and musicians of his generations. By now, there are already 2 sequels out, but in my opinion one film would have been enough. This 42-minute short film from 10 years ago is generally called a rap opera and was written and directed by singer R.
