hmm aiight wayne..
to be honest, john legend is a boring ass performer, sade could have give someone else a chance
Jill Scott and Maxwell would be a nice collab with Sade i think..
Would be better to see Maxwell and Sade tour together, or her and India Arie or EBadu. Raphael Saadiq sounds like a good tour, I’ll try and check it out.
Thanks for the heads up. I can arrive a little late so I miss the opening act.
Of course MTV will broadcast little wayne’s first interview. Granted the opportunity to touch on several issues plaguing the African American community, prison, drugs, baby mamas, stupidity! He’s a poster child for the ills of our community.
Muthaphuck this self-hating ass negro! I will never support
anything this ugly bastard does! I don’t give a shyt what he has to talk about!
Sway Calloway should be doing infomercials. I hope he’s not shouting through his interview with Weezy.
