He tweets as B rotherNumpsa.I guess it’s somewhat fitting… Oh, the horror that is R. He'll answer questions and disputes in the comments below. Justin Charity is a staff writer at Complex and was last wrong when he ranked all of Jay Z's album intros. Like Nas on "Rewind," we'll be starting from the story's end, for the most part, and working our way backward to an ominous beginning, in which our protagonist, Sylvester, wakes to smells of sex, gunpowder, and dread. I love this entire series enough, however, to rank all the episodes, from first to 33rd. By the 10th episode, we've also met James the Police Officer, his wife, Bridget, her lover, Big Man the Midget, Rosie the Nosy Neighbor, the Reverend Mosley James Evans, and Pimp Lucius.įans of the series have all got their own preferences for Trapped's absurdity levels, with most folks agreeing that the series fell off beyond episode 12, at episode 22 at the latest.

Kelly's "hip hopera," his magnum opus, 12-Play withstanding. At 17 years old, I was hooked on the interminable drama of R. This was before YouTube, mind you, with the episode s debuting on BET and ripping, eventually, to Limewire. I used to play the latest episodes of Trapped in the Closet on a laptop, on a school bus, with three or four friends leering over my shoulder and shoving their knuckleheads to my speakers.
