\nR. Kelly’s status as an R&B and hip hop legend cannot be disputed. I won’t even waste time pointing out the man’s list of accomplishments. You already know them. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised this morning on my way to work when I heard R. Kelly’s Ignition remix from his 2003 album, Chocolate Factory. Every time I hear this song, I find new meaning and depth and this morning was no different. Here are the lyrics that stuck out this time:<\/p>\n

Now it’s like Murder She Wrote <\/em>
\n Once I get you out them clothes<\/em><\/p>\n

I started to wonder. How IS it like Murder She Wrote? To find out, let’s start by examining the IMDB description of the show:<\/p>\n

Mystery writer finds herself investigating murders that occur around her.<\/em><\/p>\n

The show ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996 and aired 264 episodes. It is one of the most successful and longest-running television shows in history. Kelly is one of the best selling music artists in the United States and one of the most successful R&B artists of the last 25 years. So the lyrics “Now it’s like Murder She Wrote” is clearly meant to associate R. Kelly’s sexual prowess with ongoing success.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other ways of looking at it and Kelly is known for playing with his listeners’ minds. Maybe he took a lady home and got her out of her clothes only to realize she’s dead. RK would then be at the center of a murder mystery. A more fun (horrible?) thought is that he went home with Angela Lansbury.<\/p>\n

Knowing our friend, R. Kelly, all three of the explanations are probably true. Oh, that Robert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
