Adele’s album 21 is entirely about an anonymous ex-boyfriend 10 years her senior, which tells me: 1) He gave her good meat; 2) In between the meat he likely did things that make young, naive women fall in love with older and temporarily interested men, such as listening, giving the occasional unexpected compliment, and justifying being single in his 30s as "waiting for the right one" when it was quite possibly more of a "still not interested in boning one for the rest of my life" situation; 3) He tired of doing numbers one and two; 4) He was probably a brotha, as we tend to date big white women at rates far higher than other men (Source: Maury show).
Despite his inspirational deeds the bloke in question didn’t even get a shout-out when Adele won six Grammys. Plus he didn’t get any production credit in the album’s liner notes. This in an era when anyone "connected" can get a production credit. (Even Jay-Z and Beyonce’s then week-old daughter got a production credit on her father’s Glory, though she only contributed the umbilical cord blood used to write the lyrics on papyrus in accordance with Illuminati tradition.)
Worse yet, a lot of Adele’s fans assume the ex is a bad guy. As I searched online for the guy’s identity all I found in music forums and articles were terms like "asshole" and "douche." But unlike the ex-ex boyfriend who inspired her debut album 19 that won two Grammys, the influence of 21 didn’t cheat (or at least didn’t get caught cheating, which is almost as admirable) or ask to be compensated for invigorating her creative process with much-needed pain.
Look, I’m not asking Rihanna to thank Chris Brown for the ghetto love taps that made her more famous than she could ever dream of being, even in a dream during REM sleep brought on by Breezy choking her out. His thank-you came in the form of a much-too-light sentence and subsequent "comeback kid" narrative. But Adele’s ex-boyfriend laid the pipe that produced the Album of the Year, so give the (black) man some credit.
Sometimes you De-win, sometimes you De-lose, Dewan.
Rolling in the D
Dewan, this is your mother. Your brothers Detwo and Dethree miss you. Please come home.
your theory might hold water if he, you know, wrote the album.
I hate white bitches with big nostrils.
@space island
he deserves credit like King George the whatever does from Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence.
And according to her wikipedia page, she grew up in London neighborhoods crawling with the other, other dark meat
Brilliant.
Lol, she’s fat. For sure her ex was some black dude.
*waits for the “racist stereotype” mob to show up in the comments because of this post after shitting their pants in the Jeremy Lin post comments, then remembers it was made by a black dude so it will never happen*
By the way, I agree Dewan, Muses get no respect these days.
Alanis Morrisette was from Canada, and this broad is from England. I fully expect the next angry female superstar vocalist to be from the Middle East or something. THAT will be an interesting album, I assure you.
@Guinness that’d be enough material for at least 20 albums.
I don’t generally laugh when im on the online but I am now goat sampson
@Guinness. You’re totally right. Whoever has the rights nailed on that “I’m Keepin’ It Real in Burkha” album is laughing. And I mean that. I would buy the first album from a bitch in a burhka, no questions asked.
…as long as its mixed old school orbital style, haha
Here he is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae0SmOpWbzM
Is this the album where she cleverly rhymes four letter words or is that the other tart?
what “black” guy says “bloke?”
her current beau must be sweating buckets
