I guess he saw Ben Zard’s BBC documentaries on him where he spoke to his former staff and family members hmm

At face value this sounds like a terrible song to begin with, but I must listen to it so I’ll come back with a review :sis:

EDIT: Sonically, he jumped on the hip-hop bandwagon. I wouldn’t know it was R. Kelly by just listening to it. 

The lyrics, even the non-controversial ones, are cringey :deadbanana: “I admit I can’t spell for sh*t, [...] I admit I couldn’t read the teleprompter when the Grammy’s asked me to present.” 

At the 4:12 mark, the instrumental just repeats :air: and this is when the problematic lyrics begin fyi 

Also “I admit I love Steve Harvey, John Legend and Tom Joyner” honey don’t bring them into this :saladga:

“I’m a part of the music culture, Spotify took me off they playlists, I admit that I’m underrated” :rip:

TO CONCLUDE, this song was way too repetitive, a song of this length needs a beat change or transitioning. It was painful to sit through, the only thing that kept me listening were the lyrics because they were almost humorous, probably not this intent. A lot of references to the devil, a couple stories about his dyslexia, and he pulls the victim card most of the time, and although he admits he was sexually abused as a child by a family member, he uses this as almost a reason for his accusations, which is low key problematic :/ 

Judging this as if it’s a pop song when it’s 19 damn minutes long and the music is clearly just the medium for some kind of long form confession :interestinga:

Not like he’s expecting it to chart 😂
