Rap opera

A rap opera, hip hopera or hip opera is a series of hip hop songs in the form of an opera, inspired by the concept of rock opera. Examples of a hip hopera include Trapped in the Closet by R. Kelly, A Prince Among Thieves by Prince Paul, Refletchons by Fletch, Sick Passenger by Schäffer the Darklord, Introducing Neals by YTCracker and Deltron 3030.

When R&B singer R. Kelly was asked from IFC how he defined his Trapped in the Closet series, Kelly stated that he described it as a hip hopera or musical opera, and that it was now too long to be called a song. In 2001, MTV debuted a telefilm titled Carmen: A Hip Hopera, directed by Robert Townsend and starring Beyoncé Knowles and Mekhi Phifer. Volume 10 also released an album called Hip-Hopera in 1994. The former is contemporary R&B, not hip hop music, as is Trapped in the Closet.

Hip-Hopera

Hip-Hopera is the debut album by Volume 10, released on March 1, 1994 through RCA Records. Production was handled by a variety of producers, most notably The Baka Boyz, Cut Chemist and a pre-Sugar Ray DJ Homicide.

The album spawned the underground hit "Pistolgrip Pump", which reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles. The album, however, suffered from poor promotion and only made it to number 66 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
