if u knew the history of motown, philly international, etc., you would know that it was common practice for each and every artist to churn out 2-3 albums within a 1-1/2 year expanse. No regard was really given to the artistic "imaging" of the artist.(songwriting ability), simply because you had artists on the same label doing covers of the same songs and you had the same song writers sitting in a conference room writing at least 10 songs a day. sure d is no marvin, but d has always written his own stuff, by himself for the most part (i'm going to get the marvin discography and post it in a minute)

over the years the music industry has changed, drastically. more time is put in between the release of albums, (which i believe to be a good thing). if d put out an album every year ya'll mofo's wouldn't buy that shit anyway (see prince). so quit yer crying. and why does d have to "be" marvin in the first gotdamn place?

get a grip. he didn't write all the early stuff. if d had 20 people writing for him he could put out a cd every week,...but i reiterate u mofo's wouldn't buy it.
