Seems like the age difference is a hotter issue than the interracial aspect of the Joss-Raphael relationship.

CinisterCee said:

Why would the interracial aspect even cause a blip nowadays? On the other hand, 22 years her senior is nuts

CalhounSq said:

But that's because she's only 19, right? I mean, would 22 years be as big a deal if she was 40 and he was 62?

I agree that people should be over the interracial thing, especially on a Prince site.

If she was older & had more life experience, have at it - it's still a huge gap but if you're a 30 year old woman & feel like you know what you're doing then fuck it. But this broad is 19 - yea she's in the industry & has "grown up" faster than the average 19 year old but there's no way in hell she's on his level emotionally. He might as well be an old fucker in a cadillac cruising college campuses 'cause he's about to run her ass & she won't even know it. It's just a stank situation - he'll *most likely* (I say that in "fairness") come out of it unscathed, but I doubt she will... Then again women rarely do

*that last one's gonna get me jumped, ain't it?*

Would we flinch if it was a 19 year old male and a 41 year old female?

CinisterCee said:

Shit, I would. Then HE would be the baby, damn near a child. The shit ain't right...

What some orgers think:

Joss should record songs with dance producers, and do white music and shag underage kids in clubs with paris hilton!

for me, it's more about "who is working with Raphael" and "who should be working with Raphael".

CalhounSq said:

What if this union was all her idea 'cause she wanted the cred, or something?

anon said:

I'm not saying she's doing anything unwillingly, it very well could be her idea - doesn't make it a good one, does it?

I'm sounding like a bitter bitch up in hea so I'mma be done - bottom line, 19 & 41 is gonna be hellish for somebody @ some point...

Wow. That's bad....and funny. The concept is good but if it's about the coming together of contrast, why doesn't it come together? at least make the end result successful.

I enjoyed the song though. Seems people just want her to earn the voice. Once they read of her tumultuous relationships and her personal hardships or whatever, they'll probably be more accepting of her.

Just saw the clip.

Funny thing is that they R together, and she couldn't remember where he was from... Oakland. She actually had 2 ask him.

Her performance did NOTHING 4 me. I mean, her voice ain't all that.

Nikka Costa smokes her.

Did anyone else notice the "...he is from...(where are you from [blackman], Oakland?)" moment? Seems Saadiq caught it. My guess is that she's running this show. If she weren't, that artwork wouldn't be so bad.

Giovanni777 said:

Exactly. He seemed a bit hurt by that. Either that or he was thinking you're blowing our cover.

I like to call this piece...











































Fuckin' For Tracks (c)2007

That was the STFU look.

BlaqueKnight said:

That's the other option.

Her whole thing seems pretty obvious, the subtext is written all over that ugly cinder block wall. She's trying too hard and she doesn't have to.

SoulAlive said:

Org note me and I'll tell you what happened.

That performance was under-whelming.....

CalhounSq said:

Missed your reply. Can't say if it's right or wrong. But my guess is that if someone has regrets later, it will be Saadiq. He seems really low key about it all...not like he's "pimping her". If anything, it's the other way around.

Side question: Does she always wear the baby doll dresses or is she hiding something?
I'm in a rumor mood.

This looks like a business arrangement from my viewpoint.

CinisterCee said:

So when someone falls in love with someone, is it always with the intent of gaining something?

MikeMatronik said:

Did I say everyone fucks for tracks?

Would be cool to have Raphael and Joss do a St. Paul/Susannah duet on some "Screams Of Passion" shit.

Literally "a sound produced by 2 in love"

CinisterCee said:

r they really together? i just took the photo for what it was-just a promotional pic.
