Well Arrra, Mr. Modern Day Michael Jackson without all the plastic surgery, continue to sing your Jesus praises as you flirt with your persona of inspirational gift and freaky pimp daddylicious.  I’m not a fan of him really, but occasionally he has put together a few greats on both sides of the fence he rides.

Just like OJ, we’ll just never know…
