Occasionally, there are cool videos which just are choreographed to perfection. Say what you will about him but R. Kelly’s one of the most talented R & B singers in the biz.

Whenever I think of his best work, it’s either with the late and great Aaliyah (God Bless her soul- IMHO most talented female singer) or in this almost too perfect song and video, “Down Low” featuring Ronald and Ernie Isley. The music and beat is excellent and the video itself plays out like a mini-movie.

If there’s one thing rappers and R&B musicians know how to do, it’s create these sort of mini-movie videos which draw you in. When do you ever see that in rock videos? Only one comes to mind off the top and that’s Guns N’ Roses priceless epic “November Rain,” where it’s clear a story is being told. Such is how the crazy mind of Axl Rose works. Their videos were always top notch but that one stood out.

Anyway, I happen to like this one from R. Kelly and of course it turns out pretty sad but predictable. :-(  Kudos to the whole production team because it’s outstanding and still is fun to watch:

R. Kelly: “Down Low”

Note: There have been many funny videos mocking the R&B star for his history. Maybe I’ll link some up later.
