My brothers are both Tupac fans. There's an 8 year age difference between us. I wonder if its my influence or is Tupac still going strong with the younger people?

It's probably a bit of both. When I did the documentary in '06 we interviewed a bunch of young teens who were big fans.

It's your fault that motherfucker hasn't released an album for a decade.

"Untitled (How Does It Feel)" is a song by AmericanR&Bandneo soul musician D'Angelo, released January 1, 2000 on Virgin Records in the United States. Written and produced by D'Angelo and Raphael Saadiq, the song was originally composed as a tribute to musician Prince. "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" contains a vintage style and sound similar to that of Prince's early musical work, while it also incorporates musical elements of soul,funk,quiet storm, and rock music. The song's lyrics concern a man's plea to his lover for sex.
The music video for "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" had a considerable impact on D'Angelo's recording career, as it helped engender an image of him as a sex icon to a younger generation of fans. However, his discontent with this image led to his period of absence from the music scene following the conclusion of the supporting tour forVoodoo.

The video's success also lead to mounting frustrations during the supporting tour for Voodoo, during which female fans and audience members would yell out for D'Angelo to take his clothes off on stage. Dominique Trenier, who served as D'Angelo's manager from 1996 to 2005, later explained his disappointment of the music video's effect on D'Angelo, stating "to this day, in the general populace's memory, he's the naked dude".

Many of D'Angelo's peers have noted the success of the "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" music video as a contributing factor to his period of absence from the music scene and solo work, as well as his legal controversies and drinking issues following the tour. A columnist for SoulBounce.com has cited the video as the "jump-the-shark moment" for D'Angelo, and stated "It was so provocative and polarizing that no one could recover from it, least of all him".

Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, who served as producer for Voodoo and musical director for "The Voodoo Tour", discussed the music video's impact on D'Angelo in a 2003 interview with music journalist Touré, stating "he wants is to get fat. He doesn’t want his braider braiding every nook and cranny of his hair. He doesn’t wanna have to have ripples in his stomach. He doesn’t want the pressure of being 'Untitled' the video".

Questlove ended by stating "Had he known what the repercussions of 'Untitled' would've been, I don’t think he would've done it".
Ya see, keco? You women, always sexualizing us men when we show a bit of flesh. DAMN THIS WORLD OF FEMALE OPPRESSION!

I'm at the bar waiting for a friend to order drinks (and me a water). A girl comes up to me smiling and asks me If I would buy her and her two friends drinks. So, I smile back at her and put my hand on her shoulder and say "I would"...transition to a straight mug face, and say "but I'm not going to". She looks at her friend and says "that's awkward" and I turn around.

The balls on this bitch, though. She was beaming with confidence. Usually a girl will accidentally bump into you and chat you up, or act interested in you bla bla and expect for you to order a drink. But this bitch straight up asked. What kind of idiots do these girls run into...I have no idea.

Should have left his face out of the video so he could use plausible deniability when he wanted his dignity back. Ho-ing 101. :p

It turns out I'm near sighted in my left eye. The eye doctor said I could get glasses but I don't really have to. He showed me how my eyesight would be with glasses and without and there was barely any difference since my right eye is awesomesauce so I won't be joining the four eyes club. Sorry, Kelli. However, he does recommend I get sunglasses so I might be investing in some wayfarers with UV protection, son.
