R Kelly Is Back! And This Time, He’s Singing About Throat Surgery!
MENTAL. That’s the only correct word you can feasibly describe R Kelly with these days. He’s the Colonel Kurtz of pop, all paranoid and holed-up lashing out at imagined haters, bringing forth the horror, the horror.
And of course, Kels has been quiet of late because he’s been having throat surgery (literally quiet then) but now, well, his voice has mended enough for him to make another absolutely barking track where he veers from pompous, arrogant swine to wounded, sensitive soul in the bat of an eye.
The man himself took to Twitter, saying:
“It’s been a long time coming but I finally feel a lot better about my throat since the surgery and this is the first song I wrote.”
The song is called ‘Shut Up’ and needs to be heard to be believed. He talks about his tonsils, God, his fans, doctors (shout-out to the M.D.s for staying focused through the surgery) and, in the most astonishing segment, he has an “O.M.G” section where he points out that his music is responsible for every baby since the ’90s. This is Uncle Rob in full ‘Trapped In The Closet’ weirdness.
Listen to the brilliant madness right now.
