The end is sad.

And he misnamed a few songs/albums... and completely mistinterpeted the subject of the line "skinny motherfucker with the high voice"

You might wanna add Nelson's name to the main title. Would have gotten my interest.

Yeah, of course, Prince avoided him because he didn’t like a review. :-o

Did any of you ever read this guy’s column? Nothing but snark, from someone who couldn’t hold a candle to most of the people he wrote about.

Must be why Prince bankrolled his film.

Yessss...and I dont trust anyone who doesnt appreciate the Black Album. 😂

On a serious note, Nelson George is a legendary writer who appears to have pretty typical mainstream pedestrian uninformed tastes as it pertains to P and music in general.

He’s only a legend because the mainstream press is so unabashedly racist that he is one of only a handful of black journalists (not to mention critics) they employed at the time.

Article would have been better if he went full-troll and did that throughout.
