PATTI LABELLE ON THE STATE OF BLACK SOUL, LIL KIM, AND MORE

patti.jpg Patti LaBelle recently sat down with The Dallas Voice to discuss various topics. Currently filming a role as a cancer patient in a Lifetime movie, LaBelle took time out to discuss gay rights, the current state of black soul and visiting Lil Kim in the prison.
How do you feel about the current state of black soul music?
There’s not much. There are some people who are trying, like Leela James and Christina Aguilera. But there are not many artists who are truly singing.

How about Keisha Coles and Beyonce?
I think Keisha’s real street and doesn’t hide it. She is who she is, and I like that. I think Beyonce’s very talented and beautiful, and she can do so many things. She’ll be around for a while.

And how do you feel this year’s “American Idol” contestant Mandisa, who could have been on a fast track to diva-hood but said that being gay is wrong.
Honey, gays are the ones who make you and stay with you. Girl, you better recognize! How stupid can these people be? How stupid can hearts be when people discriminate, period. It’s just an awful thing. And then to say something like that when the gays are going to make or break your ass? Excuse me?

Let’s talk about Lil’ Kim: Do you think she was good to momma in prison?
I don’t think she was good to momma — I think momma was good to her. I guess she did her time well. I did go see her when she was in. It was kind of scary. I thought I would be really nervous, but I was fine once I saw her. We sat together and we laughed and we sang and we had fun.

Did she have any crazy prison stories to share?
No, she didn’t, but they did make her a cake when her album was released, with marshmallows and apples and jellybeans, whatever they had, and they cooked it in the microwave. She said she was learning how to cook with the microwave, so that’s good. I’m very happy that she’s out.
