Lyfe Jenning sounded better when he was on the Apollo----- than he did when he came out with his record

Maybe he need some better songs

True. I remember when he first came on there. I was like "this nigga gettin' ready to embarrass himself and get booed off" but he killed it. Cry and Sinner are still two of my favorites.

Who are those people, I've never heard of them

Fela Kuti and Tony Allen are african musicians, that have been sampled by such artists like Nas(warrior song ft Alicia Keys) Common(heat, ) and Commons song dedicated to Fela "Time Travelin' (A Tribute To Fela)" there is currently a broadway show on fela that jay-Z and Will Smith are looking to be involved with, and his style has infleunced such artists such as D'angelo Raphael SSadiq etc.

Tony Allen on the other hand is the drummer behind alot of Felas work and is quite frankly one of the greatest drummers of all time.

Lyden David Hall is a british soul singer similar to D'Angelo, sadly he passed away last year i think.
