http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCXlCkY4Y5g - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCXlCkY4Y5g My wife and I used to just laugh until we just about blacked out when VH1 was playing this. This is what they call in the hip hop community an epic. Give me "Supper's Ready" or "This Strange Engine" any day of the week over this. Warning: it is hysterically moronic. E -------------

I saw a sum up of this video. I don't have the time to watch the whole thing... but the first five minutes made me laugh my ass off. "Why don't I just go out the window?" "We're on the third floor" "sh*t." |

R Kelly gives Hip-Hop a bad name (isn't he R&B?...) Even though the story is Still, it pretty much sucked. -------------

Well, if you're going to take the time to pen an epic, not only pick a better subject matter, but choose your words wisely and don't sound like a complete moron. "I closed my mouth and swallowed some spit"? Come on! E -------------

OK, I had to quit before one minute was up. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Any song that ends with a well endowed dwarf soiling himself is beautiful on paper, but yet this song was so bad. Surely he can't be serious? ------------- Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat? |

Agreed. It was a nice idea, though. -------------

I know sitting through it is excruciating; however, did any you last long enough to see the end of the 4th or 5th chapter when he discovers a prophylactic in their bed? The song ends with the word 'rubber' echoing to fade. It's absolutely hysterical. I actually heard that he was nominated for a Grammy for this garbage. Sad! E -------------

| That's not the saddest part,they actually made an hour special explaining the actions and characters of the "epic." |

I watched the whole thing - start to finish. Best satire ever. |

| I actually watched the whole thing, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of knowing that my monitor "went to sleep" at the 16 minute mark. I've never seen it do that during a video before. |

I watched all the 23 (I think its 23?) parts The implications at the end are hilarious. Oh and the Weird Al satire. I must say both are extremely funny. I laughed at the R. Kelly one, and laughed at the R Kelly one with the Weird Al one. |

I do happen to think popular culture should be as absurd and stupid as possible. The reason for that is when the entire crowd tries to pretend to have subtlety of some manner, it becomes more absurd than absurdity itself. Just be your stupid selves and leave the subtlety for the outsiders, mkay?  ------------- sig |

There are 22 parts, all to be found on youtube, I havenīt watched them all, itīs quite a difficult task, youīre torn between how lame&funny this is and how boring it gets after some time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet
did any1 watch the Southpark episode w. the same name ;p
Great show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet_%28South_Park%29 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet_%28South_Park%29

Weird Al:
"And we drive to the drive thru
Heading off to the drive thru We're approaching the drive thru Getting closer to drive thru Almost there at the drive thru Now we're here in the drive thru We're in line in the drive thru Did I mention the drive thru?"  ------------- Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there. |

LULZ!!! I saw a few seconds of that and then went back to my Camel ("Lady Fantasy", on Stellar Attraction! Kicks R. Kelly's butt). There are people who actually LIKE this? Sad. I guess he gets one point for doing a 20:00 so-called epic? I'd hate to think what they attempted to play during the instrumental sections. Yes, an epic......EPIC FAIL. |

I'm reading the Wiki article and laughing my head off as I read the "cliffhanger" lines: "Now he's at the closet, now he's opening the closet....." "He opens the door, I can't believe it's a man!" "Pull back the cover, oh my god, a rubber!" "Now pause the movie cause what I'm about to say to y'all is so damn twisted, not only is there a man in his cabinet, but the man is a midget! MIDGET! MIDGET! MIDGET!" ...Around Twan and Sylvester are sniffin' around, tryin' to figure out, 'What's that smell?' As they turn and look at each other like, 'What the hell?'..." "...The midget faints again...While Twan and Sylvester is trippin'...The midget's the baby's daddy; woo." I'm sorry, girl, but that ho was me..." Time goes by, it's now one hour later..." "I will kill both of y'all knucklehead asses..." I'm f**king her now..." Give me my motherf**kin' coat!" "Don't go tellin' ev'rybody 'round town, Rosie/ With your big-mouthed ass!" Incredible. Simply incredible. |
