2600426, This shit is just ridiculous man

My issue isn't who or what you like... it's the way you pick and choose who you give props and for what.

So now because we're talking about Lionel you want to accuse other people of not respect our musical heroes... I mean really Maxxx. How do you really think you can slip a comment like that by without anyone noticing?

When we are on the subject or Prince you're real quick to point out what was or wasn't hot in the hood. Well homie this is where your card needs to be pulled.... because if you can sit here with a straight face and tell me Dancing on the Ceiling, Hello, All Night Long or any other that shit was getting run from the brothers back in the day you are either a good liar or just good at lying to yourself. Anyone here old enough to remember that time knows if you dropped a Lionel Richie track at a black party back then you would have been clowned... and clowned hard. You'd have needed to grab a Prince 12" with the quickness to get the party back on track.

Again, go ahead and love white bread Lionel all you want.... I really don't give a shit. But stop trying to justify the shit with some bizarro logic and revisionist version of the 80s. I know better.... and so do you.
