More Than A Single... It's A Story... A Long Story, July 3, 2001
If you just galnce at this single, you would think it was seven versions of the same song. However, after listening to this single, you realize that this single is in actuality, essentially a drama with various versions of 3 different songs which, taken as a whole, piece together a story.The first track, is a musical narration, in which we learn how R Kelly becomes acquainted with "Mr Big." This leads the listener to track 3, the "It's a Long Story" mix. This is essentially the same as the radio version (track 5) of Down Low, except that this particular mix includes a bridge , where we learn how Kelly ended up was assualted by Mr Big's people (in the music video, Kelly is shown in the hospital... this explains how he got there). Finally, Kelly includes the "I Can't Say It Enough" mix which fills in the gaps between Kelly's employment with Mr. Big and Mr big's assualt on Kelly. All this done in a musical format. Each of these versions relates to the Down Low story, yet when you listen, you will hear 3 very distinct and different songs. Each one as good as the first!
