The new video for R. Kelly’s latest single “Hair Braider” was released this week, a couple weeks after everyone saw this promotional picture of him rocking a new look (which he also rocks in this video).
“Hair Braider” is the first single off his upcoming album 12 Play: Fourth Quarter set for release this year. Meanwhile, R. Kelly also still has to gear up for his trial date, currently set on May 9th.


Not Goldilocks in the video too!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t know why, but i’m just really not feeling R. Kelly at the moment… maybe because of the whole Ne-Yo situation.
WTF??? Hair braider???
Cant believe i just wasted 1 minute of my life that I will never ever gain again watching stupid Rkelly. This song is dreadful and he sounds like Tpain.
R. Kelly can sing about any darn thing and make it sexy.
He is a jackass!!! What kind of grown-up version of ‘Braid My Hair’ by Mario is this???? Who still wears their hair braided?? I swear I would laugh at a dude who came up to me w/braided hair. I like the clean-cut look. I’m disappointed because he’s a great writer, but this mess is horrible. I DO like the beat, tho.
MIDLIFE CRISIS!
Then again, R-ruh has some issues after watching the entire video. “You can take the man out the hood but not the hood outta the man.”
Oh yea! I knew a dude that used to pay his braider with sex. That mess used to be funny!
oh! and that gold hair doesn’t look right. it makes it look like all of his hair died on his head all over again.. like he has some type of hair rash = S
R. KELLY IS A MONKEY DOODLE FOOL. I CANT STAND HIM. ITS SUCH A POINTLESS VIDEO. HE DEFINATELY NEEDS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#8 LOL, I know. The first thing I thought when I heard it was “cornrows are still in?”. No offense to the brothas that still wear ‘rows, but we all remember when it was the “it” thing to do.
R.Kelly is on another planet.
*blank stare*
That man needs to be in jail!

I hope this album is like the original 12Play or TP-2 beacuse the TP Reloaded didn’t do it for me. He is trying to follow the trend (wich sucks right now) and that aint a good look.
R kelly needs to stop!!!! on the real real!!!! lol
sucks.
point blank
As much as i dont like him, for some reason he made a stupid song sound kind of good, LOL

Ummmmmm, can we finish the TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET saga before we move on to pointless music! WTF?
@18
I thought the same thing and I guess sounding like a fake voice over machine is the new “it” thing now. Even people who can really sing- like R. Kelly -have realized that the listening public is so stupid that you don’t have to use your own voice.
I really dont like the song that much, im just hoping the rest of the album is good….
I am oh so tired of the T-pain computerized nonsense I mean at least he can sing why mess it up with the damn computer noises? Spare me please.
FU*K …..ROBERT “CHILD MOLESTER” KELLY……
NUFF SAID…
r kelly is a 41 year old man talkin bout hair braider–
MID-LIFE Crisis
Its decent… Musical genius for sure, but he does sound like Tpain
Ok we have a date set MAY 9TH *puts in diary* its about damn time!!!!
And he needs to stop with all this tom foolery.. hairbraider wtf??
why are we still supporting this child molestor?
NEXT
The video is garbage
The song is garbage
R. Kelly is garbage…point blank
SMH
Ugh…ridiculous! R. Kelly please come back like you did in the mid 90′s! Thank you.
I like Kels but this is just ghetto! He better get on that I believe I can Fly tip before his trial starts.
I like Mario’s version better.
this is corny as hell
he is too big for this.
can we get more songs with a better concept then that please.
R KELLY IS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT A HAIR BRAIDER ACTUALLY DOES….
boring man dude need to be in jail…… and why is he putting that akon, t-pain effect on his voice, come on people lets be original…….and put some quality music out there
R. Kelly has a GOD given talent straight from above… He is the only entertainer that can sing about anything and turn it into “Platinum” and “GOLD”….

HOTT 1075 .. Keeping it Real with Miss Thang

hmmm k me no likey…. Kels time to upgrade your vocabulary… braids, jeeps and young girls should be a thing of the past for ya… besides hearing anything sexual or with sexual connotation coming from you is just creepy at this point…
maybe after the trial…. that crap is sketchy anyway we just need it to be water under the bridge at this point….this happened how many years ago now? still no trial? sketchy
Being that Robert “Chester~Molester” Kelly and I are both from chicago, you can say that I am truly embarrassed to representin’ the Chi’…..
I haven’t really like this man since I attended the “Best of Both World” tour….he hated soooo bad on Jay~Z it wasn’t even funny…..he was mad cuz we was givin Jay more love than him, and this is his city…HA!!!!
But anywhoo…..
He is too damn old to be singing about gettin his braided, Mario created a song like this when I was still in Grammar School…R.Kelly really need to sit down somewhere with his OLD a**!!!!!
I REALLY hope this isn’t what he’s become. That shit is wack!!
Guess I’ll be playing all of my old R Kelly songs.
What kind of bull is this….it sounded like a mix of the dream and T Pain….R Kelly needs to retire, find God, and do his time. It was cute when Mario did it when he was 16……
ok so i miss the old rkelly you know the “my minds tellin me noooo” or when he did stuff with mr biggs .. his music should me maturing now ..not talkin bout his hair. i still got love him tho[somewhat] for all those great hits he made in the past ..but w/ the whole sex tape idk ..
DONT KNOW WHAT 41 WAS TALKIN BOUT….I WAS AT THAT SAME BEST OF BOTH WORLDS TOUR AND THEY BOTH GOT DOWN….STOP LYIN……….ANYWAYS FOR U MUSIC CRITICS…….ITS THE ROGER TROUTMAN VOCODER EFFECT…NOT T PAIN…AND KELZ B KILLIN ON THAT MUHFUCKa ANYWAY….HE IS A BEAST PLAIN AND SIMPLE….U DUMMIES CAN HAV THESE WACK ASS ONE TONE..MONOTONE ASS SINGERS(NEYO) AND IM GON RIDE WIT KELZ…HE THE ONLY R AND B DUDE GET PLAY IN TH CLUB,BEDROOM,CAR,and he got CLASSIC MATERIAL………YALL FALLIN FOR THAT DUMB SHIT…….THIS RIGHT HERE IS A BANGER(SHE BRAID MY HAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT)…..FUC OUTTA HERE…CONCRETELOOP FULL OF LAMEZ WHO DONT LIKE SHIT….NEVA…NOT ONE SONG WHEN IT COME OUT…I UNDERSATND..YALL RADIO LAMES…LATE ASS NEGROES
24…hell trapped in the closet was pointless music!!! IMO
Definitely not feeling this song by R. Kelly which is disappointing because I like R. Kelly and I thought his last album Double Up was good. Like everyone above me stated, how the hell is a grown ass man going to be singing about getting his hair braided !!!!!
LMAO@ 45….you must be a publicists or something…just face it Kellz is not what he used to be…he following a “trend” of lames right now…he needs to stick with what he knows…and thats the baby making music. This shit here I would expect from one of the younger R&B cats but not Kellz…Just admit it…
@ 40. totally agree…
Why is trying to swagga jack T-Pain? Come on! At least copy somebody that has some damn talent! I’m so done w/ R. Kelly he just needs to go to jail! Lately he has just been annoying as hell. “Shawty is a Ten (Remix)” makes me want to slap somebody everytime I hear it!
Sad. SAD!!!!! Grown ass negro singing about this?! Adn I know it’s just a video but do you think I’m supposed to believe one of those video hoes actually know how to do anything else but shake her @$$?!! They can’t braid no hair!!!! Kelly u fell off for real now. And somebody needs to shoot T-Pain for all this digital vocal CRAP!
R. Kelly has officially lost all my respect.
Go cop the Root’s “Rising Down” on 4/29!
ONe1
45
Bigvion = R.Kelly
Yeah Kels imma need you to stop having your little cousin Ju-Ju write your lyrics…you sound like a plum fool!
You gotta be kiddin’ me! This is the worst piece of s*** I have heard in a long time. Are there no longer any relevent topics to write a slow song about?!
And people have the nerve to call him a genius. This sucks and so does all of his other music. People have given him entirely too much credit. Only simple-minded people would like this song. This man is entirely too damn old to even come up with a song like this. I guess his brother wasn’t lying when he said on Wendy’s show that he’s damn near illiterate. It all make sense.
He needs to go to jail already…I am so tired of his ass. I did not bother to watch this pile of SHIT!
I’m not even wasting my time watching a video about braiding hair ,by a 50 year old. You can tell he is a child molester. He only tries to appeal to young girls.. YOUR BODY IS MY PLAYGROUND….yeah Chester,Chester.
didnt Mario already do this like 5 yrs ago!!!!!!
yep he better get in the practice; cause if his ass goes to prison . he’s going to be the HAIR-BRAIDER. and when he gets out of the joint R’s gonna have a dump truck. them booty bandits in the joint are just wait’n . braid’n hair and toss’n salad thats what R is going to be doing . your ass going to be yo/ delling yaaaaaaaaaa hooooooooooooo. it is said child molesters catch hell in the joint. think of that next time you want to get w/ a child . r kelly
