Aretha Franklin Stayed Beefing With Other Singers.

Thread reminded me of a story I read a few years back in Esquire

https://www.google.com/amp/www.esqu...terviews/amp12084/charlie-murphy-quotes-0112/

I was sitting in this mogul's house. My brother was there, and they were having lunch. It was real nice, going down to the beach and everything. And then we see this woman walking on the beach. It's Diana Ross. I ran down there and got her. So now we're sitting in this room. Diana Ross is sitting with Eddie in the mogul's section. I'm with some common folk on the other side. We're talking, having fun. One guy happens to use the fword. And Diana Ross comes all the way across the room and says, "Excuse me, I don't know who you gentlemen are, but I don't tolerate any profanity in my vicinity." Now, we're not at Diana Ross's house. We're in another house. We don't work for her. That's what we're all thinking. And one guy goes, "fukk you, Diana." She was stunned. Her face, it looked like pieces of it were falling off. No one was sorry. Because what sticks out in this story for me is: Why are people kissing Diana Ross's ass? Is she God? No. She sang on some records and did a good job! I give her her props. But that doesn't make you more of an adult than me. That doesn't give you any more rights than me. Being your fan is optional. If you forget that, because everybody's been blowing sunshine up your ass, you're putting yourself in the position to take a fall. That's the moral of the story. Always stay humble. It's the only way you can't get humiliated.

-Charlie Murphy, ladies and gentlemen (RIP)

Diana asked for that, was the mogul Barry Gordy? If so that's probably why she thought she could play profanity police.

Reading this is why I look at the elders sideways when they talk about the youth of today.

I really wish someone from the era would be brave enough to call out some of these elders in a big ass tell all book.

Especially the elder women who talk down about the young women today and how they dress.

Go into details about Aretha's attitude and whoever else has an attitude.

I have heard Patti Labelle is similar with Aretha when it comes to having an ego complex, sure there must be something on her.

Whitney may have been one of the few stars who was respectful to young artists

But yeah we need this book on everything discussed in here. not so much michael jackson cause we know everything already

But we need a book that gets as much hype as 30 shades of gray...

Would shut down the industry

gunna add her to my list now
1.Angela bassett
2.Patti Labelle
3. Pam grier
4.Aretha franklin
i have no shame in my game

Rufus era Chaka Khan>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is that what this song was about?

this song had nothing to do with Diana Ross

100% she tried to let Mike hit tho

Thread needs to be upped for those who have not read this post yet.

Dude was testing the young bucks to see if they were really about that life:


Quincy Jones did say Prince tried hitting MJ with a limo afterward.

Prince was drunk like a skunk during this.

Let's be real about that James Brown movie....saw it once with the family and never watched it again. It's not the NE story, It's not Ray, It's not Tina Turner movie.

It's better than Biggie's movie but it did not capture all the interesting shyt

the estates usually never want the truth to come out.

Yeah these biopics that don't tell the whole story and are forced by the fam/estate to keep the dirt on the person hidden are

Even Tina Turner's shyt was after my wife told me all the shyt they left out that even she included in her own autobiography

That's why I never watched the James Brown joint or Notorious

Straight Outta Compton turning into a fluff piece by Dre and Cube when theres common documented knowledge of the shyt that really happened and was fabricated in that movie was embarrassing. That 2nd half....

that's real cute, i'm sure if charlie was in a room with his daughter and a bunch of men were having that barbershop talk, he would do the same thing

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

charlie was in a room with his daughter

Where did it say children were in the room?

 

[jackson35]

Where did it say children were in the room?

his wife, daughther,mother, godmother, the point is, why are you talking like that around women older then you? charlie should know better, he didn't do that shyt around his mom or his wife

Diana by that time had been in the game for a while. She has hung around the likes of comedians like Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson and many others. For her to pretend that she never allowed profanity in her vicinity is laughable. Diana has been noted to have a sharp tongue herself.
