2846350, Rick fluked up w/ Street Songs...by stealing Prince's gear

BEST THING THAT DUDE EVER DID...

he wanted to mock him and piss him off by taking his gear.

He ended up writing his biggest hit trying to be a dick.

I been telling you...it's okay to like cartoons...hell Dennis Rodman was a great defensive basketball player...but what a confused tool.

Rick needed more of a narrative to round out his "act"...cause when it was OVER, it was OVER.

His cavalier attitude got REAL bitter, REAL FAST...and we know that had a lot to do with leaving Motown for Warner Bros.

-smh-

Poor Rick.

Cameo...could've easily tried to push Larry all the way out front and downplay the rest of the group...hell they KINDA DID...but didn't.

But Cameo was a group. They didn't have to rely on one guy.

I'll give Rick props for standing close to his dream...he was around for A LOOOOOOOONG TIME before he hit ANYTHING...but when he did he ran through success so fast so poorly that it's hard to take his highlights seriously.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Y'all Give Rick Too Much Credit
