Permanent Link to R. Kelly Has 15 More Chapters of “Trapped In The Closet”

Is it safe to say that the music career of R. Kelly is coming to an abrupt stop or a screeching halt?

Apparently, it may be about that time to cash out the chips with the singer delivering the breaking news that he has 15 more chapters in store for the saga of “Trapped In The Closet”.

Beginning in 2005 and stretching all the way to 2007 with 22 episodes, who is even aware of what's the last thing that even happened?

Was there a little person that got impregnated by a stripper or something?

Whatever the case may be, Kelz has decided to leave it in the hands of the fans as to whether or NOT he should release the tapes.

“Today, we are killing that tattoo of the wife beater!”

It is said that there's nothing worse than the wrath of a woman scorned.

Apparently, Tahiry has yet to get her fill of giving rapper Joe Budden further public humiliation as she used a tattoo party with her female friends as a platform to further embarrass the New Jersey rapper now that their unity is two individuals.

It has become increasingly evident “bitter” women that have their crosshairs ready to terminate all men on sight.  Maybe Valentine's Day won't be knocking at certain people's doors this year?

Back in the good old days, Tahiry went as far as getting a tattoo of her former rapper on her More

Although the album was released back in November, rapper Wale is still making his rounds with Attention Deficit, dropping the music video for his second official single “Pretty Girls”.

Clearly, Gucci Mane wasn't going to be able to make it due to his particular situation, a.k.a. prison, but the abundance of women might be able to pick up the slack for his absence.

Apparently, there was some backlash for the video with critics saying there was a lack of dark skinned women in the video so Wale also dropped “My Sweetie” which was a bonus track off of the album. More

The life of a rapper is a hustle and there must never be an opportunity missed to make money to build on an empire.

For rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the promotional machine behind his VitaminWater has landed the rapper inside a truck handing out burritos to his hungry “fans” during the X games recently.

Even a man at such a caliber of 50 has no problem in getting his hands a little dirty for a common cause: A bigger paycheck.

Always willing to come from the ground up, Jackson apparently has no boundary lines when it comes to exposing himself.  It's a surprise that the burrito didn't come with a copy of Before I Self Destruct.

“Reality hasn't set in that he has to go to jail yet.  He shouldn't have to go to jail”

After pleading guilty to gun possession charges back in October 2009, Lil Wayne will now have to report to the court February 9 to receive his one year sentence at Rikers Island.

Leaving his imprint and featuring himself in as many video's, songs, etc as possible before the bid, Wayne is making sure that his time will not heavily effect his fans and will leave them with enough material to soak up until his release.

Stating that he will make sure that he will have an iPod to go through beats, a source within the confines of the cell assures the fact that the rapper will not actually be entitled to such luxuries.  Coinciding with other stipulations, the rapper will see his dreadlocks More
