El has always talked out of both sides of his mouth. The Debarges have always been ghetto, but back in the day, Motown put a lid on their natural tendencies. Plus, El didn't look "ghetto'. He was classically handsome. I think El was trying to stay relevant, plus he had 11 mouths to feed, not to mention handing over money to babysmamas.

El still had it back then...wonder if he still has it in 2009. Great talent and I hope he goes back to recording when he gets out

Of course, Motown put a lid on how they really were. And they definitely had to cover some of their scandals up. But just like the Jacksons, a lot of people, myself included, thought they were soft-spoken and bashful. Oh how I've been fooled.

Here's a nice clip of El on the piano singing on an old video soul show:

Well, El has said that he is not really a forward type person, that he is shy and not really a people person. That most likely is true. Yes, El still has it. I have seen clips of him singing from 2006-08 and he is still hitting the notes.

scriptgirl said:

He wasn't all that shy when he threatened that blogger guy . But I can understand what you're saying because I've heard him say he's shy and is more of a behind the scenes type of person.

That blogger thing was made up. That guy is known to be a jokester and make stuff up like that. He is known for that.

scriptgirl said:

Are you serious? Cause the way he was goin' on, it was like El DeBarge himself really emailed him and lit into his behind. Even when someone questioned the authenticity of it, he was like, "Well, it was confirmed by a family member so I don't know what else to tell you." Umph, umph, umph.

YEah, totally made up. He admitted to it somewhere.

It's an adlib from Quik's song...

DJ Quik "Jus Lyke Compton"

I really don't care for DJ Quik. He needs to be slapped for having those braids in his hair.

scriptgirl said:

So i beat the blogger guy up for nothing.....jeez script i feel bad now

scriptgirl said:

Oh really? Mo Kelly Lied about that?
Find it please.

That was fucking terrible.

yeah show us,

marzellus said:

Marzellus, were you the one verbally beating dude online? I remember someone laid into Mo Kelly unreal about clowning El. I actually thought it was a relative.

Seriously, Scriptgirl, I hope you find it where Mo Kelly admitted to lying about El cussing him out.

Me neither...

RipHer2Shreds said:

Unfortunately, yes.

Slenderoni1978 said:

I think if you go on his site and look at his later posts, he admits to it. The whole thing pissed me off. I didn't think it was funny.

scriptgirl said:

So he didn't admit he was lying, but you think he did, okay that's cleared up

The more I read some of these nostalia threads, the more I realize they venture into rabid fandom type of threads

Tight performance. Sounds like Quik re-did the music with his own signature sound.

Marzellus, he admitted somewhere in a later post. I don't remember where he posted it, he just read it. But honestly, does it really matter?

Have you seen the Jesse Powell clip on you tube signing "I Like It"?

Prospect said:

jbchavez said:
