How loving a daddy is, you can only know, if you spoke to his children. We were 4 brothers at my parents house. Everybody who saw my family from the outside, must have thought that my dad was a loving daddy. ... my first hospital stay -> age of 7 -> when he was drunk he kicked me down a staircase. So far for this.
The only things I read from you guys all the time is "that he made it", "he is on a level", "he broke thru"... etc. etc.
With all respect, this makes me think, that most of the respect you have for gentleman is, because he got a record deal and good distribution.
Dirk even says, that people don't like Gentleman because he is so successfull. So questioning Gentleman means automatically that one must be jealous or so? I know many non-musicians (black and white ones) who cannot stand Gentleman. So they are TOO jealous? Yeah man, everybody who criticizes Gentlemans attitude and/or music is just jealous, because Gentleman is a Superstar. SURPRISE: Outside the rather small group off reggaefreaks (and only those who deal with dancehall) in germany, nobody knows gentleman. If I go out in the streets of my little "ghetto", it will take me some time until I meet somebody who knows him. So, Gentleman is just a genre-star, nothing to be really jealous of.
Somehow I think that people who bring that "you are jealous of his success"-sentence try to extend their own thinking pon others. I for myself am jealous of noone, because there's nobody in the world I would exchange my life with.
