PrintableI didn't label him that, the media did. I heard the term used on a local radio station soon after his arrest. | |

What I meant when I said "thug lover" was, he better not get arrested again or he will never be anything more than a thug lover. The man has real talent and I would like to see him go far, but getting arrested isn't going to help him. As far as the comments about D being "too black"...I think many of you are just a little "too much". Get over it already!!!
An arrest for car offences makes him a "Thug lover"? He's never once linked himself with the term "thug" (Unlike R.Kelly, 2Pac etc etc) so it just seemed strange to label him with it is all. mistermaxxx | |

Oh great the media label him "thug lover" and he's a "thug lover". On a lesser note the media often label R&B/Soul artists "Rap" or "hip-hop" just for lack of research. | |

There must be. Who are they? Doves, Mel!ssa Critics loved Cee-Lo's solo album when it came out but other than a few strong cuts, it didn't rock my world. I would download a few tracks and check it out though. It could be the start of a funk revival | |

The BLACK dj on the BLACK radio station (wblk) made the comment about D turning into a thug and called him a thug lover. I guess the BLACK dj is just not BLACK enough for some of you. I don't know what is meant by "his vibe scares" people? That's just ridiculous. | |
