Someone obviously explained to Kelly that poetry is descriptive, and furthermore, so is story-telling. Seriously, can Trapped in the Closet really be compared to this? Or even this? His words are bland and extremely lacking in figurative language, making them like a childs recapitulation of an unusual event: overly explanatory and simplistic. Its especially hilarious how Kelly narrates his journey through various womens beds in an-almost singing voiceactually, he is singing. The first few chapters are enough to either get one hooked (if one can so easily be bought), or make one want to laugh and cry in utter confusion and intellectual pain (and therefore want to continue watching for the excellent comedic value). Kelly continues to rap about whats happening in the video, pushing extra-long lines into the rhythm of the beat in order to tell his complex and unpredictable story in a less-than-lyrical way. Oh, also, there is a vocal background of endless ooh-ooh-ohs that adds emotion, perhaps, to the troubadour.įrom the pacing of the first line, ∷ oclock in the morning and the rays from the sun wakes me/Up, the question, Seriously? arises. The starting clip, with its fancy green screen background and comic book superhero-style WordArt title, kicks off the simple beat that loops and loops, and loops again for 12 chapters spanning more than 40 minutes from then on. It was described as what would be the first-ever rap opera. Trapped in the Closet began as a chapter-by-chapter radio odyssey bestowing upon the American public the secret lives of sex and lies of Sylvester (played by Kelly) and his consorts.

That counts as rapping, no? (It doesnt.)

At least somebody did teach him what constitutes a rhyme. Kellys gargantuan 2005 fail had none of the above elements in the mix. Or at least what comes to mind when one thinks of what a rap opera should be.
