2685988, El Debarge should be a Hall of Famer
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sat Apr-14-12 12:13 PM
can't too many people see him as a Artist and that is real.

and for the record He don't need no DJ Quik. Quik is good, however he can't carry El Debarge's S Curl kit and he knows it. i say that because

i saw them both on stage and El can flat out play, sing/sang and covers a wide range of music. ain't no rapper can hang with no El Debarge period. and not many pop acts either.

if El Debarge was White with his his skills he would be the President of the grammys or something. that Brother got crazy skills and I always knew.

this music video director said recently that El Debarge is just like Michael Jackson except El is a Better Piano player and that is the ultimate compliment.

I mean where would Hip Hop be without El Debarge's music over the past 20 years? same goes for some R&B acts as well.


the scary part he got the goods from his Brother Bobby and he still is badd and a half on his own.

This family has had a lot of personal demons.

He is GREAT and could have been legendary. Had/Has all the talent.

legendary is a strong word. Stevie Wonder is legendary. El Debarge is GREAT. At least to me. He has as much skills as anyone ever. I see that. Just my thoughts...

Stevie Wonder is One of the forefather of Music and with all due respect there ain't to many People where Stevie Wonder is IMO. However El Debarge is a Great Artist, just nowhere near Stevie WOnder and nothing wrong with that. i have always dug those two working together over the years they fit real good musically

I agree 100%
2686219, he has never had the impact commensurate with his talent.
Posted by ninjitsu, Sun Apr-15-12 10:46 AM
so no.

2686227, alot of that overrated mess in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sun Apr-15-12 11:00 AM
can't touch him. seriously El Debarge>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the Beastie boys, guns and roses, Jackson browne,and whole lot of other trash that got inducted in there.

he got songs and his material is better than alot of turkeys they have put in there IMO
2686236, again
Posted by ninjitsu, Sun Apr-15-12 11:09 AM
impact.

el hasn't made anything close to the impact of the artists you just named, whether he's better than them or not.

and he's far from alone in that.

most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp.
2686242, you tripping
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sun Apr-15-12 11:15 AM
you don't know about songs

all this love and i like it alone stand side by side with those acts best stuff.

and I ain't even going to talk about how much his stuff has been sampled and looped, FYI that is called covering material.

Bro Man hadn't made an album in over 15 years and got a deal and why? because his talent and those songs stand up real well.

i'll take El over that garbage i mentioned above.

Jackson Brown can't see no El Debarge, the beastie Boys nope and not no Guns and Roses becuase on the song tip they can't hold El's blue point pen.

2686327, it's not about the quality, it's about the impact.
Posted by ninjitsu, Sun Apr-15-12 04:20 PM
i don't know how to say it plainer.

how you gonna be in the hall of fame if you're not famous?
2686442, all these folks sampling and looping his stuff
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Sun Apr-15-12 09:29 PM
not to mention his versatility and talent. Yeah He is getting robbed.

El Debarge Belongs in the Hall Period.
