Dear Groundpounder; as you hopefully #GIT TO STEPPIN#, I wish that whatever your name is; you ARE Living Proof that "Age "AIN'T" Nothin But a Number". Ehow.com may have some helpful guidance in acting like you've learned more than needing to have the last word in almost 50 years. In the search bar, type: "Acting My Age" and I wish you all the best. #GrowUp and Leave Me Alone#
@groundpounder35 Nah Youngin. More Like YOU ARE CLUELESS. It's okay if you're amongst the 87% of the earth's population that are only able to formulate your mindset on media/religious/trendbased influence. You're not alone.
@groundpounder35 Funny that you call my over 30 y/o self a Kid. That you have to ask what I mean by the esoteric statistic I just cited for your butt shows that instead of gettin all hot under the coller.....Do Some Conscious Research before you go acting as 'god's' spokesperson. As you 'poundtheground'.....make your way to a library and holla back with some knowledge.
@Grammy2Be and I'll say it again. There's nothing upsetting or strange to ME that you are proving to be amongst the 87% of the Blind Followers of the Brand of Spoonfed BULLS#!T you clearly haven't factually substantiated. Your ignorant spewing proves what I have read to be true. Look at you! (in the mirror)
@Grammy2Be You must be a whiteboy, because any real black person over 30 yrs old knows that "kid" is just a slang word, kid. "Gods spoke person", "unball my fist." Homo read to the bullshit you are spewing. Kid you started this not me so fuck you. You actually tried to use big words & don't fully understand them. Are you lonely & looking for a friend? I don't swing that way. 30? So what I am over 40, what is your point? Don't tell me what to do kid, If I want to mention god I will.
@Grammy2Be Yeah, you were fucking wrong kid. If you could read the statement I made I was reacting to someone who was trying to figure out who were the few people who did not like the Roots where I replied "I don't think God likes them. They are helpless." Next thing I know I got some punk kid crack head calling me a youngster. Aint that some shit. Learn to read and comprehend son. The only one who is wrong is you. One more thing, god don't like dumbasses either.
Unball your fists and stop punching your tear-soaked pillows if you're so 'Grown Up'. And enough with the judging. Dunno know about you "Groundpounder".....but bullshit walks and money talks (ergo my username). Let's stop "pounding the ground goin in circles. I acknowledged my misinterpretation; and still maintain you're wrong to judge. Look at your ramblings even now. Use the energy of your "groundpounder'ism and MOVE ON.
@Grammy2Be Dunno know isn't a word or a phrase, weird one. But it sounds to me like you are looking for attention, get a pet or something. No one had a temper tantrum son, but you did have a holier than thou moment. Just throwing you the same bullshit you threw me.
@groundpounder35 And you ARE Living Proof that "Age "AIN'T" Nothin But a Number". Ehow.com may have some helpful guidance in acting like you've learned more than needing to have the last word in almost 50 years. In the search bar, type: "Acting My Age" and I wish you all the best. #GrowUp and Leave Me Alone#
@Grammy2Be Homo, first of all you need to search how to convey something that makes sense instead of writing like a women based off of your emotions. 2nd you started this shit not me. If you don't want me to reply to your gay like shit then don't use my name anywhere, as if I have no right to reply. "Acting my age?" I got one better for you act like a real man, & stop trying to sound intelligent when you obviously are not. Now you grow up & act like a man, not a smart mouth bitch.
I AM a female. Not just a female but one over ten years younger (and of Afrikan descent), and look at you. In a 'girly' lil' ol' tizzy! Thanks for the laughs Pops. One free tip (goes along with "look both ways before you cross the street")......"Assume is spelled with the first 3 letters of A-S-S- for a reason" Stop being that reason. Get your bottle of lotion, a hand towel, and a beverage of choice and go do something with this obvious frustration and tension you're sending m
@Grammy2Be Right but I believe you assumed first. Read your bullshit girley. You say you are a girl I thought homo, well I was to far off but whatever. Don't think because you are a female that I will take written abuse from you, you started this shit not me.
@groundpounder35 CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, or Target are economically efficient vendors of the hand lotion, towel and/or tissue paper you clearly need. Your pathetic insistence in keeping this nonsense going bespeaks a pathetic, unattractive, sexually frustrated middle-aged male who CLEARLY needs something to do with his hands (besides online harassment). If you had someone to break ya off, perhaps you wouldn't be actin so "girly". Try it out. You'll feel much better.
@Grammy2Be Haha, see thats what I am talking about jumping to conclusions and assuming shit you know nothing about. Typical bullshit. Believe what you want, but you are wrong. And I am not harassing you, simply answering some dumb chic who assumed she can tell someone what to do. So in fact since you chose to answer something that was not for you, you are in fact the lonely one, I am far from that shit.
@groundpounder35 Alas! Sounds like the lotion helped take the edge off, Ugly. Congratulations. Hope you got the Economy size cuz you clearly need it and I can't think of any female I hate enough to hook you up with. LEAVE ME ALONE STALKER. I don't imagine YouTube would be too pleased to learn of your persistence in bugging the ---- outta me so count yourself accordingly advised. As you speak of (your illusion of) manliness....ain't ya got a football game to prepare for! Sheesh!
@Grammy2Be You are a silly little vulgar chic aren't you? Leave you alone you started this shit with your holier than thou stance. Leave me alone. If you want to star in porno videos please don't share your fantasies on the tube that is inappropriate. And don't include me in your sick ass fantasies, girlie.
@Grammy2Be He was just saying the people that disliked this song are hopeless in a sense that god doesn't like them because they disliked a roots song, he was trying to be satirical but you took it the wrong way and made yourself look like an idiot arguing with nobody hahaha no hard feelings
@ChocoMiIk: Wanna cookie? You're what we call "late, loud, and wrong". And another one of my favs: "All up in the Kool Aid and don't know the flava". Please don't nurture "GROUNDPOUNDER35's" temper tantrum. (you'll wake him up from his nap. come on now?!?!!!). `Guess it's time to stop automatically routing replies to my innocent comments to my email inbox, cuz you kids are taking up valuable space right thur! #MOVING ON#
holy shit i forgot all about this awesome baseball sized diamond of a song i am so fucking happy now just to hear it almost makes me cry tho the nostalgia ;)
TELL YOU ONE LESSON I'VE LEARNED IF YOU WANNA BE SOMETHING IN LIFE YOU AIN'T GONNA GET IT UNLESS YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF SACRIFICE SOMETIMES BEFORE YOU SMILE YOU GOTTA CRY YOU NEED A HEART THATS FILLED WITH MUSIC IF YOU USE IT YOU CAN FLY
@JayBirdimus Actually, if you look in the back of the booklet with Phrenology, In the Thank you's and praises section, Kamal says that the lead/main part (xylophone part) was made by his daughter on a midi keyboard. He saved it and put a beat on it and that was the basis for the tune. Read the whole part, it's quite moving actually.
