Yep,in the liner notes to the 'Go All The Way' remaster,Chris seems really bitter  He mentions that most of that album was written by himself,intended to be a separate project by the younger members,but then the older members heard it and decided to make it the next Isley Brothers album,taking credit for co-writing the songs.There seemed to be some kind of feud going on between the older members and the younger members.It shouldn't be surprising. Listen to the title track,it seems like a Chris,Ernie,and Marvin concoction. That is probably one of their most underrated jams. Go All the Way is actually my favorite album by them. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I'm waiting on a collaboration with Lil Wayne and Nikki Minaj anyday now. Don't forget Drake, the guest rapper du jour. | |

The fact that most of the album was produced by Jermaine Dupri...I should have known better...Damn did they really sink that low?  He had his moments but he really isn't a good producer...  | |

The other Isley Bros. were caught in the crossfires. They respected their elder brothers. I'm thinking Jasper don't talk to NONE of the Isleys anymore. Yeah,I kinda get that feeling too  I wonder what Jasper is doing these days. | |

Timmy84 said: Identity said: Sad ain't it? An artist of his stature still trying to appeal to the rap audience. A diverse artist at that. He did rock and soul real well in the '60s and '70s. And that's what the people REALLY wanna hear again that rock and soul his voice and his brothers made famous. After this album with Def Jam I hope he calls Ernie and patches things up and they can put thier heads together long enough to give the fans that classic Isley Brothers sound.

Well, Ron like many of those old schoolers wasn't always the smile we saw on the album covers. Shit, there's stories about the way he treated Angela Winbush that would make David Ruffin damn near look like an altar boy lol I hear their beef is about Ron takin money from his deceased older brothers insurance policy and Ernie found out about it and being rightfully pissed off at him.
