Ok, not only with Tevin Campell, but remember MCHammer?
Why is it that some folks praise a person up and up and up, just to ENJOY mocking that person and seeing them at a degraded or fallen state? How bi-polar of us. It makes a person wonder if it was worth being up there in the hearts/mind of men in the first place.
I know in another forum, it was stated that our genes are much more advanced then technology and our technology is much more advanced then our social-awareness/maturity...
genese>>>>technology>>social awareness/maturity
Why is that? Why do some enjoy negativity (and I mean RELISHING in it), and treat strangers so badly, and they know full well they wouldn't want this same treatment themselves? (do to others what you would want done to you). They know they wouldn't want to be in a degraded state for others to laugh about.
Remember the (Greek) fable/story of Jealousy and Envy (I can recite it the best I can right now):
Both jealous and envy were walking down the street, enjoying their day together.
They were walking together when a Genie walked up to them and offered a wish. He stated: "Here is a worm hole to another life, the first one who walks thru it gets everything he ever wishes while he walks thru, however, whatever he wishes for himself, I will grant double for the one that walks after him"
Both Jealousy and Envy look at themselves and wonder, which should go first. Jealousy felt he should go first but then wondered about missing a double porition. Jealousy asks Envy to go first. Envy is reluctant but decides to go in. So, Envy walks in and is about to make a wish, but remembers that Jealousy will end up with double. Envy makes his wish and Jealousy quickly follows afterward. As Jealousy walks thru, he realizes he is blind. Envy was so upset that Jealousy would end up with two portions of his wish, that he plucked out one eye, leaving Jealousy with both gone. Jealousy is blinded by Envy. (I'm not catholic, but envy is one of the 7 deadly sins, I wonder why).

It's an image worth pondering for a moment. Maybe, when you cut past the instrumental and songwriting virtuosity, the funny voices and characters, what is left is a man alone in his recording studio for days at a time.
Well, if you believe Czarina_Czarina (I advise against this), Prince used him as a sexual butt-toy and then "tossed" into the wild streets where he probably died.
In reality though, he got himself addicted to drugs and was arrested for soliciting a "blow-job" from an undercover officer.
That's cool, got what he deserved for butchering such a great song.
lol
