Yo Blak...u my man and all...But slow down...lol

I recognize that some folks on this board go too far...It's easy to spit that poison back at Maxx because most of the time he deserves that side-eye....I get it...That nigga GONE....

But Rick, crack pipe and all, could hang with D anytime, anyplace....Now if we are talking about a certain Midget, then that's a different story....but in his prime Rick was a bad man...He just got consumed by that white and his Prince obsession...But I will never front on the man's output...Dude kept the lights on at Motown....

As for Kelly...We all know he goes the lazy route at times...And he's made some silly musical choices...But Kells does the one thing that D has yet to master: Deliver....

There have been a lot of musical acts, black and white, that have been consumed by their demons whether its drugs, fear, or mental issues...But yet they find a way to express themselves, whether they are a hit or not...

D is ridiculously talented...Child church prodigy and all...And I will take him "live" over Kells for the most part (I've seen both live...)...

But Kells has put in the work beyond what you, me and other critics think of the man...D needs to do a lot more to be in any serious musical discussion when it comes to the vets....
