With 19 minutes’ worth of confessions, revelations and damnation on R. Kelly’s newly released “I Admit,” the internet hasn’t been shy in speaking its piece.
Given that “I Admit” clocks in at just over 19 minutes, Phonte noted that it’s nearly the length of a G.O.O.D. Music album.
Mans had his assistant google “Bryson Tiller type beat” and dropped a confession that clocks in a few minutes shy of a GOOD Music EP. What a time…

The Roots’ Questlove and sports journalist Jemele Hill just want their time back.

Not to dismiss the number of issues as it relates to R Kelly, BUT WHO WOULD LISTEN TO A 19-MINUTE SONG?

In response to the song, Talib Kweli took note of R. Kelly’s “lack of self awareness.”
I just read the lyrics to R Kelly’s new 19 minute song called “I Admit It I Did It.” His lack of self awareness is atrocious. There are several lyrics I take offense to. The one I will address is “I’m just a man.” I am also a man. I would never use that to defend this behavior.

On the contrary, Lil B was nearly brought to tears due to Kelly’s pain.

A number of Twitter users are continuing to reference the similarities between R. Kelly and President Trump, following the release of the track.
Folks stay on the "I KNOW R. KELLY IS TRASH BUT HE IS SO GOOD" wagon and THAT is wack AF. It's like Trump supporters being all "WE KNOW HE CAN'T READ BUT HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. RESPECT HIM."

R. Kelly and Trump are both trending so it’s a big day for American sexual predators who like piss.
