Watch Benedict Cumberbatch Recite Lyrics From R Kelly’s “Genius”

I would pay to watch Benedict Cumberbatch to read anything out loud, but I would definitely pay a lot more to hear him read the song lyrics for all of the songs off R Kelly‘s forthcoming album, Black Panties (I say this assuming there are more gems like “I’mma hit that thing again, promise.”)

If you had the pleasure of watching Jimmy Kimmel last night, then you would have seen Cumberbatch recite some of the lyrics off R Kelly’s single, “Genius.” Though he didn’t rap, which would have also been awesome to see, he still gave the words a certain flair that only he can muster. The video is short, but will definitely have you laughing out loud the whole time. You can watch it for yourself by taking a look below the jump.
