The interwebs are aflame in conversations and chatter surrounding R. Kelly's new song "I Admit It," where he admits to a number of things and also challenges critics and former friends who disagree with his lifestyle choices. After months of silence, the Pied Piper of R&B told his truth via an R&B song sung over a smooth piano lick and head-bopping beat -- using his musical prowoess to essentially provide a full media interview via song. There is a lot to unpack, but suffice it to say that the song, which is classically-written and classically-produced R-Kelly, is nearly 20 minutes long. Like his Trapped in the Closet tales, it is catchy and lengthy, yet tells a complete saga with intricate details. As a result, he spends several verses asking critics to "put some respect on [his] damn name."
