Hip-hop soap opera would be a more accurate description. RKelly has done for drama what Tyler Perry did for comedy; tapped into an audience that identifies with a ghetto lifestyle that features a lot of simple-minded hystrionics.

Someone told me about this today. I was told it was actually pretty good and that it went on for a few hours.

Is this it?
