While I too am concerned about ole boy's throat n' e'rythang, I suggest y'all tell him to quit hounding all that chocha so hard after the shows when he's back on his feet. If he's easy on the groupie-baggin, he'll be less likely to get all and sundry bugs all up in his system. I mean, I love women my damn self, but this dude treats touring like a three month-long bachelor party. Tell him to heed the words of Ralph Tresvant and "cool it now."








I don't know what I'm talking about. I hope he gets better, though.

were you on tour with us? did you even read the diary? tell me how do you know? sheeeit if soething went down on the road that i don't know about then tell me please....
you say that shit like you were there. so it must be true right?
or perhaps you heard someone yap on the radio so it must be true right?
or a friend of a friend of a cousin heard such and such?
or you read it in sister to sister?
or cita?

read that statement again dawg.

dude treats touring like a 3 month bachelor party.

that means that
-you know him personally ("dude" nicknames mean that you know the person)
-you know his actions (your statement say that after 9 weeks of observation this is your conclusion)
-you were there (and we know that's a lie.)

why am i picking on you like this? cause i hate nothing more than cats who front and gossip and act like they know the real.

whatchu know about tour life? what you know about 4am lobby calls, and coldcuts with flies on em, and bedroom feathers that make you alergic, and french onion soup, and incidental bills over $200 nightly, and denny's, and soundchecks, or che che la ghost for the 400th time on the bus, and carito's way yet again, and 3 hours marathon shows?

what cause a dude naked in a video you just assume that life is a party? we work hard my mellow.

fuck it i just get mad when i see some dumb ass shit like that. the fuck does your statement have to do with tonsillitis?

Read the last line on the post, amigo, and then untwist your BVDs. You get tired of people "who front and gossip like they know the real"? When did I claim that? Where exactly did I claim to know D, his groupies or anyone even remotely connected to you? We ain't "partners", 'cause I don't know ya ass from a hole in the wall. And frankly, after your shrill-ass post, I wouldn't care to. I made a stab at some tasteless humour, and made sure to end the post with a caveat that would prompt the average thinking man to know that I was joking. Apparently, you don't fall into that demographic.

would you post that if you didn't mean it like that? don't even try to cover your tracks now sucka. if you were trying to be funny... well... maybe next time leave your humor out cause you ain't funny! you should know better than to mess with ?uest-zilla (ref:see offensive may quote, love that shit!).

I understand where you're coming from. But I don't take responsibility for another person's embarrasing assumptions. It's my fault if folks didn't pass reading comprehension? If I write something and you don't read the whole message, choosing instead to go off on part of the message, I'm not the one at fault. Simple as that. Folks just (okay)play themselves when they show they ass by not reading a whole post before responding.

Coley Cole--Thanks much for your valuable input there, buddy. Word of advice, though--I know your tonsils must be hurtin after that monster 'job, but don't forget to gargle with some strong mouthwash before you step out today.

well. i read the whole thing and i saw nothing that said "joke". no lol. nothing. if i was rough, my bad. i apologize. i just see a whole nother side to this business. and it's hard to sit back (specially on d's guestbook, and hearing people talk in general) and say stuff like that. specially when i'm a part of it. sorry.

Humor is subjective and has nothing to do with reading comprehension. Let me quote the last line of your message, which you claim to be the part of your message which places it in humorous context when read: "I don't know what I'm talking about. I hope he gets better, though." Reading that, then re-reading your message doesn't make it funny. It sounds like someone who threw up a half-concocted guess about D's health, admitted they knew nothing, then wished him well. If you thought that was funny, I don't think anyone agreed with you.

> If I
>write something and you don't
>read the whole message, choosing
>instead to go off on
>part of the message,

You mean assuming, as I did, that he possibly didn't read the last sentence of your message, but after reading 95% of your message.

> I'm
>not the one at fault.

Sure, it's calling writing choices. Put the punchline with the joke, not as a separate sentence.

>Simple as that. Folks just
>(okay)play themselves when they show
>they ass by not reading
>a whole post before responding.

Nah, actually I think cats play themselves by not being clearer when they write, because apparently no one here, even the people that read your whole message, took that as a joke.

The man has tonsilitis. This has nothing to do with "chocha" or any other substance that he may personally indulge in. This judgement shit is getting on my nerves.
I used to get that shit ever fucking month for a year until I got my tonsils out and I was twelve, so now what? D goes on stage and gives it all to no matter what, and now you want to be the doctor and diagnose him? Until you get your BA, go to med school, do you residency and get your MD, shut de fuck up.


Dice Raw: "Reclaiming the Dead", August 1st, 2000"

The brutal truth is that the bulk of white people in America never had any interest in educating black people, except as this could serve white purposes. It is not the black child's language that is in question, it is not his language that is despised: It is his experience. A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled. A child cannot be taught by anyone whose demand, essentially, is that the child repudiate his experience, and all that gives him sustenance, and enter a limbo in which he will no longer be black, and in which he knows that he can never become white. Black people have lost too black children that way. (James Baldwin)

Who "da fuck" do you think you are talking to?
Get my BA? Don't need to, already got it. Masters in the works, thank you very much?

Reading comprehension must not be your forte' I simply said germs don't help. It's not Rocket Science to know that germs don't help ANY situation, only exascerbates it. I too, have had tonsillitis and had my tonsils removed subsequently. Where the did you get your medical degree, if you had one you'd know that tonsillitis is a catch all phrase to describe a chronic and peristent inflammation and irritation. GERMS DON'T HELP just as cigarettes wouldn't help. Don't know what the man does, never claimed to, I said what the fucc I said and I meant what I said.

If you wanna read more into a simple one sentence statement do so, but if you want to try and carry this shyt to a different level, come correct.

Fucc You

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage ~ ANAIS NIN

Obviously, in my own opinion, what said is along the same lines of what everyone else has been saying.
Germs? Your in touch with germs everyday and everysecond of your life, nothing is sterile. So, there's no way to get away from them. But, maybe you want the man to walk around with a surgical mask, or gloves on. No,maybe you don't want him to go outside, cause as quick as you say that I don't have medical, you say "catch phrsae". If the word tonsillitis is such a catch phrase, look it up in the World Book Medical Encyclopedia, p870, 1999ed. Or the American Medical Association Review of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, p. 12, June98.
What would you like me to do? Oh, ok, your right I'm wrong. Maybe it's that simple.
I'm not D's friend, I don't know him, but neither do alot of people commenting on this site.
So, I apologoze if I offended you, but isn't it time some of us get a grip.

And only a Master's is not a medical, I'm not in pursuit of what you have, and niether am I in pursuit of what you may call "knowledge".

If you felt disprespected by my opinions, I can't aplogoize for that. Furthermore, I'd advise you not to buy my book when it comes out either, you might be offended by that too.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU ALL WILL NOT BE ON LETTERMAN. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT SHOW. I WAS ALSO EQUALLY SORRY THAT THE TOUR ENDED ON SUCH A SOUR NOTE WITH D'ANGELO BEING SICK AND ALL. I HOPE HE GETS WELL SOON. HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO NEW ORLEANS IN JULY WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'LL MOST DEFINITELY BE LOOKING FOR Y'ALL TO BE THERE. TELL D TO TAKE CARE AND REST WELL. PEACE. P.S. SAW Y'ALL ON THE VH-1 SPECIAL AND Y'ALL WERE OFF THE CHAIN! YA HEARD?!? FOR REAL. ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY! KEEP IT UP YO! PEACE.

That D'Angelo can't sing for 2 months. I'm sorry it this has already been said. But I heard it on the radio and sometimes they give out info even before they know whether it is completely true or not. Peace and healing for the voice.

I wish I had read this before I stayed up and took a break on my homework to watch Letterman, serves me right though, school should come first. Anyway, Quest, if you can get close enough to D without getting sick(wouldn't want you to miss your show w/ the Roots at U of C ), give him this recipe:
I cup of hot water
I tablespoon of honey
add lemon and red pepper(the powdered kind) to taste.
It won't cure anything, but I'll make his throat feel better. Oh, it doesn't taste as bad as it sounds.
Also, Garlic is a natural antibiotic, so tell him to get plenty of it. Pill form is convenient, but raw works faster.
And last but not least, Vitamin C!! The chewable kind isn't good for your tooth enamel, but it works on the throat faster.
Feel better D, and Quest, don't you go get sick, cause i've go my ticket, and I want some Roots!
"I am the lizard queen!"Lisa Simpson

I had NO idea about you guys being on the Show...Tell D' to get well and keep up posted about any other shows you cats will be on...

Darn it, I was looking forward to Letterman,

(I was going to add it to my collection)
THat is ok, I will just go watch my Leno and my Chris Rock performance as well. I think that was one of the most classic performance of chicken grease, D was workin the pearls,

And Shelby and The Boa guy(I think it was him-that is what me and my friends call him because we do not know his name) was rockin it too.

ANd quest you it had down!!!!!! (as usual)

That's okay, I'm sorry to hear that though. I hope D' feels better soon, and he doesn't have anything to be embarassed about.

Here's an extra little something for D':


Your music has the power to soothe,
to make people want to get up and groove.
You definitely have
what it takes to show and prove.

When you held out your hand,
I put mine inside it,
then you looked into my eyes,
and I was hoping you'd see,
just how much you really mean to me.

Every note, every chord
every beat resonates deep within my soul.
For the first time in a long time I feel whole.

The way you move, with your panther-like grace,
never fails to bring a smile to my face.

The creativity you inspire,
is not fueled solely by desire.

What I said to you came straight from my heart,
I've loved your music from the very start.

In those moments time seemed to stand still,
all to soon it came to an end,
as moments of bliss often will.

I will love you always,
until the end of my days.


Ternell Jade
