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 mustĀ listen to it so I’ll come back with a reviewĀ :sis:

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

The lyrics, even the non-controversial ones, are cringeyĀ :deadbanana:Ā ā€œI admit I can’t spell for sh*t, [...] I admit I couldn’t read the teleprompter when the Grammy’s askedĀ me to present.ā€Ā 

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

Also ā€œI admitĀ I love Steve Harvey, John Legend and Tom Joynerā€ honey don’t bring them into thisĀ :saladga:

ā€œI’m a part of the music culture,Ā Spotify took me off they playlists, I admit that I’m underratedā€ :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 wereĀ the lyrics because they were almost humorous, probably not this intent. A lot of references to the devil, a couple stories about his dyslexia,Ā 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 :/Ā 

Judging this as if it’s a popĀ song when it’s 19 damn minutes long and the music is clearly just the mediumĀ for some kind ofĀ long form confessionĀ :interestinga:

Not like he’s expecting it to chart šŸ˜‚
