Who is this Ryan Leslie dude???

I am not ashamed to admit I don't know shit about most of these youngstas on the radio, since I don't listen to the radio. However, a friend was telling me about this Ryan Leslie kid and when I looked him I found out some cool info. I'm more impressed with him as a person than as a singer or producer or whatever he is. He apparently graduated from high school at 15 and from HARVARD at 19!!!!

Anyway, does he have any musical chops or what?

Oh Is that the dude she was fuckin' at the time???

I did like his song Diamond Girl was cute. But any girl that wants to be with Diddy can stay gone.

I bet he wish his wallet was extra juicy like Diddy's, though

He's really talented. He writes and produces his own music and for other people too. His debut album was really good. The last one, I didn't care for.

I saw him some video, don't know the name of it, don't think it was this "Diamond Girl" video though...but he didn't impress me at all. Nobody i'd run out and buy their album.

"Who gonna check me boo?"
