Did you even go to the Voodoo Concert??? Because I know you've never been to a Prince concert..... You're saying D was copying shit you never even seen..

plus you have found many ways to diss the guy...songwriting, performances you ain't even seen..... and you were coming with that eager hate leading up to his return to the stage damn near wishing dude would flop..

so miss me with the I'm a D'Angelo fan shit...You don't like Funk music and the funkier a person gets..the more you're gonna dislike it...

and really that's all good....that's your taste..but don't front like you really dig the shit that you called Clown music my nigga...lol.
