Description
The first 22 episodes of R and B singer R. Kelly's 'Hip-Hopera'.
Discovering a new direction for the music video, the singer has
taken the soap-opera format and applied it to the narrative in his
songs, with characters mouthing the lyrics. Due in no small part to
the 'bling culture' associated with this style of music, the
resulting 'plot' involves lots of infidelities, guns, and gorgeous
women, wrapped up in a daytime TV feel. Opinion is divided on
whether it's meant to be as funny as it is.
