I said quality of the music AND what I (****) view as the levels of ones attempt to gain another audience at the expense of your former audience...

No one is calling anyone an Oreo....That's Maxx's game...If only it could be that simple in an era (the '80s) when everyone was trying to cross over...

The difference musically between say '80s Prince, '80s Rick James, and '80s MJ with '80s Lionel is those other acts managed to expand their audience without the stench of BLATANTLY going for the white middle America....

But even more than that, it's the drop in quality of an artist who wrote "Zoom" and then went on to make "All Night Long" and "Dancing On The Ceiling"....

And yet...that's not even my underlining gripe...It's the hypocrisy of some posters as it pertains to Lionel...

Nothing more...nothing less..
