you're going overboard w/the praise and so when we express our opinions about Lionel w/o praising him as much as you do, it comes across to you like we're hating on him or dissing his work. that's not the case, dude.

and you're also presenting what we consider factual error when you claim Lionel got tons of hood love in the 80s b/c those of us who were around and aware and connected to the hood or to Black folks, generally, back then remember it differently. we're trying to correct your error. to you that's us hating on Lionel and getting at you personally. but that ain't happening either.
