Shit! Damn! MotherFucker! How did this brotha let drugs and booze fuck up his life. He should have stuck w/ Angie Stone and he would have been all right. Oh well. Hopefully, he can rebound and get his ass right b/c right now he's one pitiful fuck.

dude, you of all people should know he wasn't THAT fat at all during raphael
saadiq's show. AND it seems rather obvious that d started with a crack in his
voice (no pun intended). so, he'd probably oversang while warming up before
going onstage. at least that's how i've pictured it.

I take it you haven't seen the video clip from the Pookie website. Take a look (when it's back up) and then come back and tell me this.

okaypimpn said:

haha.. yeah, i did see that video. i ain't saying he was the "untitled" video,
but he wasn't like the mugshot either. come on. and being overweight doesn't
fuck up your voice like that. get real..

purpleone said:

Remember when Luther Vandross was really fat? He released some of his worst sounding records ever!

purpleone said:

I hear what you're saying, Purpleone, but in a sense it does. I remember a few years back ReRe being on Oprah saying that she sings her best when she's around 170 lbs. () Now I don't know what in the sam hill made her say that 'cause we all know she hasn't been 170 lbs in about 170 years!

But anyway, many vocalists will tell you that they're more comfortable singing at a healthier weight versus an overweight one.

damn he does look like odb in the mugshot. Let's pray to God mercifully that he doesn't end up like odb...

Oh please, you wouldn't even think to say that if this thread were about a woman gaining a bunch of weight

sextonseven said:

Fat Luther sounded AMAZING, it was skinny Luther that wasn't cool

RipHer2Shreds said:

I thought the same thing during the Beyonce-in-a-bikini thread

CalhounSq said:

Yeah, that was the point I was making. What's the correct emoticon for sarcasm?

CinisterCee said:

WHICH THREAD WAS THAT..

From this in 2002



to now



I just don't know...

okaypimpn said:

Dude looks like a coked-out terrorist.
Btw y'all, Luther was always great. Fat or skinny, dont' be dissin' Luther!

CalhounSq said:

Exactly. When Lurther had extra pounds, he was sounding good. After the weight loss, his vocals started to decline. There is definitely a difference between D'angelo and Luther so we can't go there.

seeing those mugshots.....I must admit that I take pleasure from the fact that back when he was being hyped, I always said he'd fuck up in a new kang of r&b kinda way .....vindication is mine!!!!

You know what, I TOTALLY missed your emoticon @ the end of the sentence MY BAD

purpleone said:

Search doesn't seem to be working so I can't find it but it's in GD & I think it's called "she's getting bigger"

CalhounSq said:

co-sign I vote for Fat Luther....

boriquateddy said:

I second that.

So, are they gonna lock his stupid ass up or what?

you know..if he was binging it could just be the drugs y'all..he might not be *that* big on your average day...not saying his isnt bigger but ive seen people who's faces have blown up due to drug use..after a couple weeks clean they look normal again...


just a lil fyi...

okaypimpn said:

He's just SO FUCKABLE in that first pic The second one you just wanna throw a sandwich at his head to see if he'll pick it up off the floor & eat it

Oh My God. I think Im going to cry. Why D'Angelo, why?

I want the old D'Angelo back!

I think D'angelo wanted to stop being a professional stripper.

CinisterCee said:

I think he became a high, lazy bastard Seriously, if he didn't enjoy that kind of attention why strip in concert?

That's true, but maybe he realized LATER he was sorta playin' himself with that image.

CinisterCee said:

And what's he doing w/ his new image?
