first off, i think that you have some issues... maybe it's just the way i'm reading this, but it sounds to me like you're just itching to start a race-based flamewar here...

that said, i think Percival is a pretty white specific name..,

err...sucka...take a hint from the org name
what else do u Xpect ?

what crap
thanks for deleting my post.
shows so much about you



cant handle the truth.

there definitely ARE race specific names

what the hell is wrong with discussing them ?

I ain't too crazy about him when it comes to singing but you ppl should def check out his BABY BOY movie,,its def the best movie about the hood. I love John Singleton,,,he always show the DARK/EDGY side of an actor/actress thats why his movies are the best.

This movie is a must ya'll

CalhounSq said:

He can sing though...I liked "Sweet lady" hehe...

I'd rather c him in more movies, he's out teen Tyson Brekford

He can't get the Singing Career nor the Acting Career quite right IMHO.He is gonna be in the "Fast&furious part 2" but He said just a Year back He wouldn't do another film?? no shocker there.I still think while He has a Couple of Catchy Songs nothing touches His "coke" Commerical.He is a Dime a Dozen Artist IMHO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT That movie sucked SO much ass, John S. hasn't progressed since Boyz & he's pulling MUCH wool over people's eyes!

CalhounSq said:

I gotta Agree with CalhounSQ on this One.John Singelton showed Promise but got stuck in the Hood Flicks.I liked "Rosewood" but aside from "Boyz n the Hood" He is just coasting IMHO.Hell Ice Cube is making Movies left&right&though they mainly are Wack He is more progressive than what Singelton is doing.considering that after Singelton got Nominated for a oscar for "Boyz N The Hood"&they were Comparing Him too Orson Wells.Singelton done turned into MR.Cofee&is just sitting there.

Finally, we agree on something! But Rosewood was whack too

I dig your Posts we just haven't always clicked with things but you get much props from me."Rosewood" I felt the story from what happen probably more so than the actual film because truth is I Can't even remembering the last time I peeped it.Peace too You

mistermaxxx said:

Same here

I think if you heard him live with a good backing band he would surprise many. He is a pop artist, his label pulls his strings so he comes off like a no talent pin-up star. Acapella, he would destroy Usher.

The reason I asked the Q is b/c I saw him performing on some talk show the other night. I know he has the ability to sing & his voice is pretty nice, but what is he doing with it? Like I said, is anything he's putting out worth hearing??? Is it the standard R&B crap of today that puts folks to sleep?

Hell, Whitney Houston has an AMAZING voice, but if she's singing garbage she might as well get punched in the neck!

Right, the coca cola advert remains his greatest artistic statement to this day.

Just heard two new tracks by him, one an almost straight cover of Tupac's "How Do You Want It?" and the other a Musiq rip-off. Not much point really...

csharp57 said:

it's sad to think that the measure of a singer these days is how well they would fare up against usher... ...

there is no competition these days...

take me back to when your ass had to go up against otis redding, sam moore, & ron isley... if you could hang with them, you knew you were one bad muthafucka...

if you can hang well with usher, you may not be much more than adequate...

i've never cared 4 the brotha...and baby boy did suck much wind...that movie wuz a waste of film.

The reason why I love Baby Boy is becoz I've seen it in real life in alot of ppl. I relate 2 this movie(not that it happend to me) but in the ghetto where I live in,,there're lot of examples like JODY Tyrese acting was honest, he doesn't have to be Denzel,,,the only thing he should do is HONESTY and I feel that he did that very well.

mistermaxxx said:

I concur with you on this Maxx

In other words.. since he has put out some flicks that didn't do well commercially{at the box office}. He is resorting back to hood movies to reduplicate the box office success that he had with Boyz In The Hood. I dug Higher Learning though. Me'shell Ndegeocello had what may be my favorite song by her featured in that flick.

csharp57 said:

Usher is a Standard??

Brother915 said:

I dug that song as well Bro.good solid choice of a track man.

mistermaxxx said:

LOL, I read that thinking the same thing. But I guess to the general public he may be. He's on every award show performing, they're making him into somebody whether he deserves it or not. His voice ain't bad or anything, but it's no standard. He's lucky he has great abs & young girls are stupid

CalhounSq said:

two more Usher tidbits are gonna make you cough up your Soup:Dick Clark has this Back in time Show coming if it ain't already on&Usher is Playing Marvin Gaye.2)He now goes by the Name MR.Entertainment.it was only a Couple of Years ago when Him&Sisqo were dissing each other of who was the Current R&B King??? Be Very Afraid&Scared!!
