Yeah that Ole wlking in the rain was a cut. " I followed you today, Now, My 1st reaction was to run up on ya' Cold flat bust, Pull a Rambo But I just Chilled" It dont get no better than that. Even though a lot of my music collection is mostly Rap Classic R&B, I am starting to feel a lot of that neo soul music in the lights of the artist you mentioned. Im from Chicago, It has an eclectic veriety of music going around here. Kanye was the pioneer in bringing true Hip hop to Chicago and making it mainstreem. I realized I like Cats like Talib Kwali and Common. And to me Neo soul is just an extention to true hip hop. I love Angie Stone, Erica, Deangelo (Have you seen him?).
My Parents did put me on a lot musically (well my mother, Papa was a rolling stone). My Grandmother was also influential in my taste of music, She put me on the chi-lites (Have you seen her) Smokey Robinson, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and the other temptations, The Spinners and the 4 tops, Frankie Lymon, Sam Cook, Nat king Cole, Otis Redding. Wilson Picket(Dont Let The green Grass fool ya') ect. I kinda ventured on my own What a lil kid from the projects supposed to know about Jimmy Hendrix, Stills Crosby & Nash,?
I think I know about a million songs bro. Im something like a human juke box.

You are indeed a human juke box. lol, It's funny you should mention the relationship between R&B and hip hop. Hip Hop has grown into such a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. I remember there was a time when you only saw all white heavy metal bands on MTV. Now, Hip Hop is the main stream music of an entire generation, and I love it! There is so much to choose from in terms of different tastes and styles of rap. I'm more of a socially conscience hip hop lover myself. I love groups & solo acts like.Common, Kanye, BDP(Boogie down Productions), Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, The Rootsetc. I USED TO like the "Black Eyed Peas." Sorry, they are just too damn mainstream commercial top 40 for me now. I guess I like to get my party on, and get intellectually stimulated at the same time. Ya mean!

I more so lean towards the mainstreem stuff, But Right now its nothing that is reall catching me, so I find myself fall back on my classics Doggystlye, The Chronic, Strickly 4 my N***az, Leathal Injection, Anything by Outkast, I even Got hold of a slick Rick Mix. Music aint what it used to be. Artist used to put his heart and soul into an album and you wouldnt feel bad about it. Now y5b4ou go cop something like Young Dro Album and you feel like you got sold a bag of Huff (If you know what I Mean?)Cuz it only got 3 or 4 good trax on it. Im bout to get off work so we must finish this conversation on Monday. Its my Bday (23) weekend so I dont plan on being by a computer.

See there Bobby isnt that bad of a guy. Remember on the TV show when that lady needed money to pay her rent an Bobby gave it too her? (He probably went back and hit that but he still gave it to her). I also think the man had a point about the media downing him because he was with whitney. If you can Remeber "They" Almost had her like Michael Jackson, M.C. Hammer, and even O.J., But when Ole project ass Bobby got a hold of her it became a problem. Ive been thru that before. I mean before me working two jobs and "growing up", Im from the projects Ive sold drugs and Gang banged. However, I was always attrcted to females who where not from my up bringings, but It always seemed like they were attracted to me. We always would have a probleme being together. Be it her parents, teachers, her Friends. Nobody wanted me to be with good girls. Like i Told you my name is even Bobby, therefore I really felt like Bobby Brown 4real at least on that aspect. I've put females that were honor roll students on to street life, Drugs (Just weed), and a lot of other stuff. I just think Good girls get boared with the guys that are like them, So they venture to the wild side. I was wild.

LOL!! You had me over here crackin up with that one! Whassup Trapstar! Hope your B day weekend was all it could be, and then some. I remember that particular episode, and you're right, that was pretty nice of him. I really tripped off how they have "ghettos" in London England, because I believe that's where he was when he performed his good deed.
One of my main problems with Bobby Brown is that he needs to grow up. He's still running around acting like 20 year old. I mean it's one thing to grow up in the "hood" and have a "rough" side, but it's another when you show no personal growth what so ever. I'm sorry, but if you're still going in and out of jail, not paying child support, getting "high" all day at damn near 40, then something is SERIOUSLY wrong. If a "high class" sista wants to date a "rough neck" brutha like that.then by all means, go right ahead. I just ask that she makes sure this rough neck at least has a job.

My Bday was off the chain Man. (Thanks for asking) I feel you on that note about Bobby. He do need to grow up. I think its just a classic case of another childhood Celeberty gone bad. He been in the spotlight since he was like 12. Thats really all he knows, Just like Michael Jackson, and the rest. They dont have a plan-b for when your 15 mins of fame is up. As for a classy sister datting a rough necks thats just an age old question why do good girls like bad boys? Us being men we never will know.

I met Bobby Brown years ago! He was very nice. He waited til I got back from my car so he could sign my 2 Cds that I had in my car. I thought that was the coolest thing! I will always be a fan of his. He is very nice. I think the press went after him for being with Whitney so they all loved to pick on him.
Bobby if your reading this thank you again. -

That's great, it really is a shame how the media dogged him.

I keep hoping he'll bounce back. But even more so i hope he finds spiritual and physical health. Not trying to pass judgment i just understand that demons are a sonuva gun to overcome. I think of dudes like MCA who used to party extremely hard but ultimately seemed to find peace.
