Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} Robert Sylvester Kelly (or "Kells") is a Chicago-born legendary R&B, Hip-Hop and Gospel musician, active since 1989. Known for, among other things, the song "I Believe I Can Fly" on the ''[[Space Jam]]'' soundtrack and being the most successful R&B male artist of [[The Nineties]]. With talent and style (including impeccable white suits), he earned his name in the genre. Line 6: While still a success, his reputation hasn't quite been the same. ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~== Tropes present in R. Kelly's work ==~~ * [[Controversy-Proof Image]]: See above. He still has number 1 albums after the allegations of rape. * [[Incredibly Long Note]]: "I Believe I Can Fly". * [[Retraux]]: His album ''Love Letter'' has a some Motown style songs. == {{examples\|R. Kelly in ~~fiction ==~~media}} == Live-Action Television == * ''[[Chappelle's ~~Show\|Chapelles~~ Show]]'' featured a parody of the song "Ignition", and its remix, titled "Piss on U", featuring Dave exemplifying Kelly's waste-based recreation. Chappelle joked that Kelly approached him between episodes, saying "How you gonna make a video about peeing on somebody?", to which Chappelle responded "''How you'' [[Ironic Echo\|gonna make a video about peeing on somebody?]]". * ''[[The Boondocks]]'' tv series featured the trial of Kelly (in Woodcrest, as opposed to his and the Freemans' native Chicago) as the setting for its first episode. * ''[[South Park]]'' featured an episode with Kelly, [[Tom Cruise]], and other celebrities, figuratively and literally [[Trapped in the Closet]]. As per the music video, Kelly seems a bit trigger happy. == Music == * "Thrift Shop" by [[Macklemore]] & Ryan Lewis includes the line {{quote\|''Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly sheets''}} {{reflist}}
