R. Kelly Not Guilty, Now What?


Well, it only took SIX YEARS, but Robert Sylvester Kelly was acquitted of all fourteen charges of child pornography yesterday. There's an article describing the trial here and here.

Happy Summertime indeed.

But what's next for your boy Kells, now that he's got his good name back? Will he release Trapped In The Closet installment number twenty three? Drop the hook on a Ja Rule comeback single, maybe? Or team up with Usher, the Dream, T-Pain, and Ne-Yo for a DJ Khaled style who's who of R&B posse cut about giving it to the ladies (but in a nice way)? Think about it.

The 41 year old Chi-town player does have a new album and follow up to last year's Double Up in the works. 12 Play: Fourth Quarter is scheduled to come out sometime this summer. Kudos to those who can explain the numeric logic behind the upcoming record's title. Also, peep the new Sisqo/Rodman-esque 'do:

Holla!

WOOO! is this the first ever comment by someone other than nick or james? big things...big things indeed...


why was i prompted to bust your blog-hymen? was it the elegant prose? was it the insightful rep-ar-tay?

nope. the image of robert sylvester's new hair "don't" (as opposed to hair do). in my humble opinion he borrowed from some established icons. He took a pinch of Eve (circa 2005), a dab of Chris Tucker from Fifth Element http://scifipedia.scifi.com/index.php/The_Fifth_Element, a preexisting foundation of Aslan from Narnia, and a healthy dose of the crispiest motherfucker in the world. look at that line. it's the crispiest shit ever. it's like it was done with a protractor and ruler. that's a pretty cold right angle...

good for him, push boundaries...for better or worse. however...my spidy sense tells me that while he might not have been the man with the mole on his back who gleefully drained his lizard on the back of that teen in the video...he is definitely capable of doing such a thing and has probably done something similar/worse. however who among us hasn't transgressed in some fashion...

so i'm torn. part of me is happy because Aslan is the clowninest R&B has to offer (some could/should argue Omarion is) so i'm happy i get to hear more of his silly ass music, but the more mature and selfless side of me says he's a bad mammajamma and should get his comeuppance.

the world is complex. shades of grey...etc.
