Since going to get my hair palm roled and seeing several white folks in there doing their thang, I can not be phased. I can't say the same for everyone else. The locs may be his down fall if people are not feeling him. Maybe he should do like Maxwell and not put himself on the cover.

Nobody gave a fuck when they found out she was fat by the time the video came out because "A Friend of Mine" was da bomb.
