Entertainment Weekly gets drunk with the Louisville, Ky. quintet…

CARL: That new R. Kelly video for “Trapped In The Closet” is amazing.
BO: I want to see the whole thing.
JIM: Did you see the DVD with all five videos?
BO: No.
JIM: I’ve never laughed harder. Right after part 3, I think, he talks about how he finds out his wife’s been cheating on him. The way he finds out, at the very end, he calls up his house and a dude answers the phone. So he’s driving home and starts looking for the dude. So anyway, he gets to the bed, and he pulls back the bedspread, and there’s a rubber there. And the last thing he says is “Oh my God, a rubber … rubber … rubber …” And in [the next chapter] the story’s continued.
EW: That sounds a little … ludicrous.
JIM: But it’s good theater.

Well, Mr. James, you’re in luck — seven new chapters are on the way. Shit will be going down for Sylvester when Trapped in the Closet Chapters 1-12 drops on DVD 11/1.

    I’d love to see a cover album of all twelve parts, with MMJ and other various groups on there. How excellent would that be, to see groups like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, B.B. King, and Deerhoof doing the different chapters? Hardcore, swing, salsa… I’d buy it.

    We are kentucky folks. You shouldnt be surprised by anything from us!

    damn the new MMJ album is greatness! i was really suprised by the amount of hip-hop influence on it (not in a r. kelly way)

    mmj’s ‘z’ does definitely rock even if they like R. Kelly

  6. i think it’s safe to assume that the closet is the most asinine thing to come out of popular music ever. i love it with all of my body. especially the end of the first installment:

    he looks at the closet
    i pull out my beretta
    he walks up to the closet
    he pulls up to the closet
    now he’s at the closet
    now he’s o-pen-in the closet

    who would have thought that you could string along 5 lines with the same melody, “rhyme” 4 out of the 5 lines with the same word, and get away with it?

  7. z may be great, but it’s copyright protected.

  8. R. Kelly is not good theatre. It’s not good anything. It’s a piece of pointless crap created by a predatory, egomaniacal idiot. I can’t even believe anyone’s trying to argue its merit as self-concious art or entertaining kitsch. There’s so much more to spend your time doing. I kind of like My Morning Jacket, too bad.

  9. Jebediah, I think they’re being ironic. Plus, they’re drunk. C’mon.
