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?

Diddy stole his chick!

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

BklynBabe said:

Po baby. At least his mouth don't look extra juicy a la Diddy

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

At least he got a degree from Harvard, he'll be alright.

Oh my God. It's official: I'm an old biddy.

I met this dude in Atlantic City a few weeks ago at the 40/40 club. I went to an event there and they were playing this video on a loop and my friend introduced me to him and I thought he was some new artist just coming out cuz I had never heard this song. I made fun of his goofy dancing.

I had no idea who this fool was and I didn't realize it was the same person my other friend was talking about this week. Damn, my ass is OLD!

I heard him on Rikey Smiley and I wasn't impressed

I wasn't impressed by what I saw and heard on that video.

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.

Love this song the only track I know from him though,,,,something about this reminds me of Sass' "Much Too Much"(the keys synth).

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.
