This episode is amazing. It was the very first episode of the show I ever watched, and it was by far the funniest thing I had seen in so long. Although this is not the first episode of the series, it crosses all the lines and breaches all of the boundaries and feels like a true beginning. No show has ever been bold enough to do something like this for one of their first episodes. I laughed my ass off every 5 seconds, and Riley's argument with Tom and Huey's speech at the end really show what the boondocks is all about: black comedy, racism, and crude kids. Riley is one of the most outrageous and funny characters I've ever seen in an animated series. This episode immediately drew me in and made me fall in love with Riley. 10/10.

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.
