Rained like hell today and my work flats got a bit wet while I was clearing out a nearby storm drain. Shit happens. Put em by the fan, cranked it, let em dry. Had em bent a little bit. A teensy bit. They’re well dry now. Yay! …I just very comfortably slipped my left foot into my right shoe. How.

Men will leave their wives just to stand next to a bar holding a watered down Old Fashioned just hoping and praying something pretty accidentally bumps into them while she waves down the bartender

I always thought it was because they say some words kinda funny and wear different hats (My response is Animaniacs-coded, I do not want to make this a geo-political observation and you can’t make me)

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good god the Clarkists are perpetually fucking delusional as shit. Y’all won’t be happy with a single coach on the planet. Keep going tho I love it

Bomani was a music and culture writer before doing sports journalism, and has always made space for the former even while covering sports. If this discussion is the on-ramp to Bomani’s career, there is a lot to look back on, and all of it is being left out of this discussion to slam a single take

000

Okay now my opinion has been solicited, here goes • I also feel like Babyface’s lyrics are a bit simplistic • I do not always dislike this; simple is fine sometimes • I think the reaction to what Bomani said is vastly overblown, and the responses don’t always address what he said

Because I’m now in a conversation about someone else’s opinion and I at least value not misrepresenting that - I don’t contribute anything to that place anymore, it is merely a repertory My own opinions here don’t matter; I didn’t appear on Complex last week

Lying on me is a surefire way to get cast the fuck out of my life permanently. I can take being misunderstood because a conversation can usually iron that out but once you’re committed to an outright falsehood about me that’s a wrap

Here's my take that nobody asked for. Songwriters come in 3 categories 1. Certified hit makers 2. #1 but can also do album cuts 3. Album cut only writers #2 is the most powerful and the most rare. #1 flames out quickly but are most remembered. #3 are unknowns with LONG careers.

Not a one of these artists is above reproach, but I think his opinion on Marvin is generally favorable. He’s critical of some of the decisions Marvin made but isn’t hyperbolic about it (I went to the bad place and searched from:bomani_jones then whichever artist)

Disguised As Someone Else

An absolutely brilliant songwriter who doesn’t get the flowers he deserves is Joe Pug “Disguised As Someone Else” is one of my favorite songs, and it has less than 5000 plays on YouTube youtu.be/bxvQ-FU1RqU

Twinkie Clark, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, and Melissa Arnette “Misdemeanor” Elliott. People don’t give Missy enough. I’m firmly planted on that hill.

Still wild this was in the Super Bowl

That is who the last second of that song talks about

Yes, Prince loved stellar musicianship, anywhere it came from. The lyrics still are what they are

150

And many people enjoy his formula! I’m a DJ, I’ve played many a Babyface song in new jack swing or r&b sets. He’s inoffensive, I wouldn’t rush to the dial to turn his song off the radio if that was still a thing we did. The lyrics still are what they are

There’s a spectrum between those two points, and the challenge is about where Babyface nested vs. the chances others were at least occasionally willing to take If I may briefly detour, people hail Wu-Tang’s “Triumph” as a classic and can’t tell you what the last 5 minutes of that song talk about

150

There is much ado being made about “what songs he produced” which isn’t in the realm of Bomani’s critique - the statement that “the lyrics are simple” kinda stands on its own, because they are the most easily reviewable aspect (i.e., can just read them instead of having to hear it)

Bomani is one of the internet’s largest Prince aficionados, for starters - he’s also given props to a wide range of artists, from Bill Withers to Sturgill Simpson (condensed takes do not allow for nuance) The critique, made plain in the video, is that a lot of Babyface’s lyrics feel rushed along

I've heard him give this take for years. He's not even saying the songs aren't hits or jams or that the music isn't good; he's talking about the lyrics, which... I know folks love Babyface, but try to be objective.

Bomani isn’t some “dude who said a thing to light a spark” like the typical podcast knucklehead though He has a vast background of talking about music, writing about it, and so forth, and neither his Babyface take nor the backlash from it is new, merely amplified

This is also why i don't argue with strangers. I know my friends' conditioning and intent. I do not know yours. So now one of both of us is triggered by something innocuous and we hate each other when it was a misunderstanding from jump. But everyone believes everyone else is the problem.
