How come no one recognizes Rick James as a musical genius?

[Larry Lobster]

That body

if it wasnt for Chappelle, a lot of people wouldnt even kno who Rick James is lol....he helped Rick get more recognition

That's fair but if they formed an opinion on the man solely from that skit alone they're missing out. There was plenty more to him than the Chappelle Show.

 

[jackswstd]

he didnt have to say yes to that though lol

Of course but he should be recognized for more than a 15 minute skit.

Of course but he should be recognized for more than a 15 minute skit.

i agree.. he and Lil Jon are both boiled down to Chappelle skits essentially. its a shame for Rick

If you don't bring up Rick James in one breath and then mention Standing On The Top, the tune he did with and for the Temptations Reunion, then you are losing....

Dude was a rock star. I was looking at his concert footage on youtube earlier, dude was a beast.

 

[Hollywood Co]

prolly for the same reason george clinton doesnt get the credit he deserves.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Rick James was waaay more talented.

Maybe he is forgotten.
I couldn't say. Maybe they paid more attention to Prince, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
