We’ve seen that just recently with the passing of XXXTentacion, who went from somewhat talented but horribly underachieving fringe rapper to THE VOICE OF A GENERATION and winner of best Soul/R&B album at the American Music Awards!?!?Īnd y’all wonder why I don’t cover the AMAs. The man does have a point – an artist’s worth is always inflated in death. So in fairness to T-Pain, the actual quote in context isn’t nearly as disrespectful as conversations claim on Twitter. But now that she’s passed, it’s like ‘Nobody could be her! Nobody could be her!’ That’s just how I feel.” If she was still alive, then everybody would’ve been like, ‘Oh! She’s tryna be Beyoncé!’ If she were still alive right now. Nobody is good enough because she passed. But it’s like because she passed, nobody is deserving of being next to her. You know how somebody’s an a**hole their whole life, but when you go to their funeral it’s like ‘This guy was the greatest man that ever walked…’ No, I’m just sayin’! No, I’m not saying Aaliyah. But you know how sometimes when people die–yeah. “People tend to–I don’t know man– I’m not trying to discredit Aaliyah in any kind of way.

The Barbz are still whining about tweets I wrote two years ago. Wanna get the Internet good and pissed off? Just hurl slander in the direction of one of its sacred cows.
