Ahead of R. Kelly headlining Pitchfork Music Festival, WBEZ's Jim DeRogatis conducts a series of conversations with smart, passionate cultural critics.

Where does R. Kelly fit in the spectrum of black popular music? Can or should his music be separated from the acts that he's been accused of? Does he mean different things to different audiences—his African-American following vs. the young white fans who will see him live at the Pitchfork Music Festival after being struck by Trapped in the Closet on IFC?
Mark Anthony Neal is a professor of Black Popular Culture in the Department of African and African-American Studies at Duke University. He has lectured far and wide, founded the blog NewBlackMan, and written extensively about Kelly, including a chapter in his latest book Looking for Leroy: (Il)Legible Black Masculinities (Postmillennial Pop) (NYU Press).
