Pitchfork Forkcast: Video: R. Kelly: "Trapped in the Closet Chapter 14"

Video: R. Kelly: "Trapped in the Closet Chapter 14"

Do we look like En Vogue? R. Kelly has us holding on, but we're not gonna keep posting each of his new "Trapped in the Closet" videos here-- they're going up every day, so you can just check for them at IFC.com. In this latest installment, Kels accurately sings, "The story goes on and on."

When Sylvester and Kathy meet up at a fancy-looking diner, their idea of acting inconspicuous is to look like people in old movies trying to act inconspicuous: R. in a suit, Kathy in a kerchief, cigar smoke all around. Sly alternately curses Kathy and comforts her, while Twan is back at the car, rapping and calling a grilled-up dude for a tip about a waitress. "The plot gets thicker," Kelly assures us in his commentary. (You're never gonna get the En Vogue reference if you don't watch.)
