you weren't a DJ down south and i was a kid back in the day and quite a few of us jammed to Lionel RIchie in the hood. we liked everybody almost that was happening back then. i use to run house partys and I played thriller all night for grown folks and we partied the whole night off that one album plus Say,Say,Say and your point is?? 1)

oh all night long got much play and much love. dancing on the celing didn't get hardly much love, but it also didn't take away his greatness and his musical importance either. 2)

naw the old tactics because if you are going to call a Brother out then Prince gonna get called out as well musically as well, hiding behind the gernic revolution sound,etc.. and he got Alexender O'Neal almost 30 years later calling him out on his blackness but i ain't going there its too easy, i ain't never heard any member of the commodores or any other musical artist call Lionel Richie out like that in public at that?? 3)

Prince made alot of wonder bread tracks himself Arms of Orion, u got the look, lets go crazy, paisley park, raspberry berry beret, graffti bridge, but it doesn't take away from his importance,though its been many years since its been evident and IMO his music just doesn't hold up as well as lionel Richie's does, but Prince has his place musically and that can't be denied for what he did and he is still a great live performer. 4)

Van Hunt is a Never was and you know better than that, but then again you sing the praises of Ryan Leslie another WHO?? and mind you are talking about cats with no track record of hit songs. Van Hunt doesn't have one song anybody knows and i said he doesn't have half the career of Omarion now what did i say so wrong there again?

i never questioned Van Hunt's blackness i said and maintain he is a Broke Lenny Kravitz and I stand by that.

you on the other hand are trying to hate on a Brother because he was successful in his field.

and mind you Lionel never changed. three times a lady, still, sail on, ole fashion love, lucy, easy, just to be close to you, high on sunshine, heroes are all looking at you sideways and crazy.

and hating on Jeffrey Osbourne? Mayne Please. i knew black folks who got married off "on the wings of love" and Jeffrey never crossed over.

this is self laothing on your part musically and just wrong.

Foxx News is going to Love you.
