My friend, there is no end when it comes to 'Trapped In The Closet.'
From R. Kelly
My mom actually had a band called Six Pack - even though there were seven of them - who went around Chicago performing popular songs. Her voice was like Gladys Knight mixed with Aretha Franklin.
I started learning everybody's riffs, from Donny Hathaway to Jeffrey Osborne to James Ingram. That helped me create my own style of singing.
There are so many songs in me that haven't been born yet. So I can't call myself a genius, but I never turn away a compliment, and I feel like I'm on my way to that mountain.
All the sounds on 'Trapped in the Closet' - the knockin' on the door, when I grab the keys, when I walk down the stairs, the car horns - we sampled all of those things around my house.
I'm not very good at picking stuff up off the radio. It takes me way too long to learn other people's music.
Ronald Isley is a musical genius.
R. Kelly is a thing on TV, but nobody knows Robert and what he's been through.
No matter how much money I make, no matter how many hit songs. I still perform like a street performer.
I've had money thrown onstage, dollars, couple of five-dollar bills. I took the money, but it wasn't much.
