The Boondocks/Mentors Video

For those who don’t know, R&B vocalist R. Kelly was accused and tried for producing a pornographic video with an underage fan.  On November 15th 2005, Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks lampooned this scandal with the episode “The Trial of R. Kelly.”  After several delays in the R. Kelly trial in 2008, Kelly was found not guilty. 

So, by that time, The first season of the Boondocks being released on DVD, I captured some clips from “The Trial of R. Kelly” and within 30 minutes, I made a rough cut of an AMV and mixed it with the classic track by The Mentors “Golden Showers.” Just literally a few minutes before midnight. The success of the video inspired me to release a more polished version of said video. Interesting enough, that one was taken down…but the cruder rough cut was kept up. Go figure. So, since it’s Sunday and The Boondocks is coming on at 11:30, I thought I’d post this video.
