Aged like wine

I never really WATCHED the Boondocks but I just wanna give this a 10/10 just because this episode aged like wet bread in a plastic bag. As far as I'm aware, R. Kelly has had all sorts of piss jokes made about him and I don't think the jokes started the year this was made. This was pretty old for what it was talking about, and I genuinely wonder what everyone making this was thinking looking back at this when the jokes finally started to come up. I have no other things to say, but I don't want just some random filler, so instead of ending this sentence here, I'm going to have to finish it right about now.

Got the Keys to the Courthouse

This review was written on January 2nd 2023

About: The legendary Rhythms and Blues Singer is in trouble for doing some bad stuff. The world is divided and Robert Kelly is in court.

Story and Production: The story sends a good message of how people will side with a person if they are a legendary singer like R. Kelly even if they were founded out that they did something naughty and against the law that the courts made.

The Story was well produced and it felt very fluent.

Riley: Was siding with R. Kelly

Huey was against him and the people

Uncle Ruckus: He wanted the DP because he's Uncle Ruckus

Tom Debois makes his debut as a lawyer trying to prosecute Robert Kelly. He fails because the jury and the people like R. Kelly's music.

Highlight: The last song at the end, the jokes and Huey's speech .

Another great banger from Boondocks A very good ep.

Trivia
Rosa Parks was originally drawn as one of the protesters at the courthouse. But she was deleted due to her death just weeks before the air date. Parks can be seen briefly in the background at the celebration in front of the courthouse.

Goofs
Uncle Ruckus says that he was a jurist on a trial in Tennessee. But in the flashback, behind the judge, you can see the State Seal of Mississippi.

Quotes
Huey: What the hell is wrong with you people? Every famous nigga that gets arrested is not Nelson Mandela! Yes, the government conspires to put a lot of innocent black men in jail on fallacious charges. But R. Kelly is *not* one of those men! We all *know* the nigga can sing, but what happened to standards? What happened to bare minimums? Are you a fan of R. Kelly? You wanna help R. Kelly? Get some counseling for R. Kelly! Introduce him to some older women! Hide his camcorder! But don't pretend that the man is a hero!... And stop the damn dancing! Act like you've got some goddamn sense, people! Damn! I'm through playing around here!
