Can't really compare, both have different styles of music, and both are very talented.

Ryan Leslie is like the modern day Prince though. The guy plays all the instruments on his songs.....he deserves a lot of recognition.

No I don't think Ryan is gay. I know some people who used to hang with Ryan, and they've known him since childhood, and when he was dating Carrie, before they went their separate ways. So I think they may have caught on by now if he was.

No. Ryan is a hit and miss with me.

Ryan Leslie is the perfect example of what a determined hustler who

has a talent for creating well produced "bedroom" tunes; y'know,

tunes made with a really nice DAW set up, can do. You cannot knock

his hustle. He's a good producer in that he knows how to arrange and

mix and what instruments/patches to use and how to make or create

catchy "beats." He's got really dope beats.

His songs suck.

And to suggest he's a modern day Prince simply because

he can play the keyboards (he's hardly a talented, efficient

multi-instrumentalist) is an insult to Prince, Paul McCartney,

Stevie Wonder and other credible multi-instrumentalists.

The difference is, Ryan couldn't write worth shit. At least Frank stepped away from the cliches that most if not ALL contemprary male R&B singers fall into, lyrically. Granted, this is the only Ryan song that I dig,,,

He's cool.
