Hey this is the Milk man and I want to give Kenne' Wayne many Props for Standing up and speaking his piece of mind about what's really going on in Southern Soul. Step back and let Me the Milk Man tell you what's on my mind. Have you really been listening to Kenne' Wayne? Well it's time to set the record straight! I am the Milk Man and so get your milk and cookies and, pull up a chair. Kenne' Wayne is the last of his kind and, ready for the future. If you're a Kenne' Wayne fan I don't have to tell you about Albums like , Old Fashion Love, Love on Me, Love Down, Who Is It ,The Licka Sticka, Time to Get Loose or, You're The Best . Just like the Artist formally known as prince, Kenne' Wayne the man had to endure the Warner Bros. Slave Trade but, like Clark Kent a Superman emerged. Everybody listen close Kenne' Wayne is the next Gerald Levert on the R&B side and Tyrone Davis of Southern Soul {listen to luv to love ya"}or, Just go back and listen to the transformation of a Louisiana's bread southern soul Sanger, yes I said it Sanger! God rest his soul as in the words of out late departed brother Bernie Mac "I ain't scared of none of you Mother's"! Go get that new Album do your homework Southern Soul Reporters Quit taking them "report my song calls," or asking the artist which song is hot Questions. Why don't you try listening to the whole damn CD yourself and, quit taking the under the table monies on this trash they calling a hit record. I am sick and tired of all these fly by night wanna be kings, bad boys, prince, wonder children, or, "You can't play that song that's my daddy song "Sounds like a Episode from Sanford and Son {I want my daddy records back}. Who me, I am no one special. I am just tired of all the separation when we should be trying to put Southern Soul on the Big Map. The sensual sounds of Kenne' Wayne has been have over looked, underestimated and, down right passed over by the hype these days of who is who! No Southern Soul fans, I am not on a bragging campaign for Kenne' Wayne .The Milk Man is just doing his damn job to bring site to the blind and heal the sick of southern soul sickness. You know who you are. People wake up; it is time to separate the fakers from the shakers. Some of you eat on the road, live on the road and, make and living on the road. If you don't know what it means, then look at the price of gas and ask an artist how far they had to travel to bring a performance to you $.$$. Last time I checked no artist owned an oil well. What does this have to do with Kenne' Wayne, last time I checked He had seven albums. I think he is being disrespected in the Game? How you doing!!!!!!!!!! Some say Kenne' Wayne has never had a hit record well, if Sir Charles Jones, T. K Soul, Nathaniel Kimble (who is no damn kin to T.K Soul), Mel Waiters, O.B. Buchanan, have had a hit, then Kenne' Wayne has Damn show had one. Songs like The Party Ain't Over, Your Gonna Miss Me, A&B Conversation, Who Is It, Angel, Time to get loose, Party On The Weekend just to name a few. Somebody slap me if I am missing something. Kenne' Wayne is one of the most stable and consistent artist that's in the Southern Soul Genre. Let's not forget his muscle vocals! Kenne' Wayne is one of the top vocalists in Southern Soul. He is on the level with artist like Willie Clayton, J. Blackfoot, and Ms. Shirley Brown to name a few. It's obvious today that talent or, a good song doesn't make a hit record. It's about who you know. All I am trying to say "Folks is, if you like good music, if you like to be entertained, than give this man his flowers while he lives. Don't wait until he is out of the business to talk about all the good things he has done. This message will self destruct the next time I here a bullshit album. Hey I am not trying to be rude but, the truth hurts, a lie makes you cover up with a lie and, when you tell the truth about some people, it is like giving them an old fashion ass whipping. Get with the program an start reporting the artist song correctly cause, you would hate it if that privilege was taken from you. Once again I ask what's the problem with Kenne' Wayne? If you want to hit me up, have a complaint, an issue, and a problem or even want to give me some props for telling it like it is, hit me up @themilkmancommeth@yahoo.com. Well Southern Soul Fans, I'll see you next week, and the week after that and the week after and YOU GET MY DRIFT????????? I want to here from you . In closing I want to ask the Million Dollar Question "Got Kenne' Wayne"? Stay Tuned to Next Weeks Episode, Cause you ain't seen nothing yet. |

What's wrong with Southern Soul, Kenne Wayne, and the music industry as a whole? People like you with their lack of knowledge of the industry and their short sighted views. I am Kim Cole, Tour Manager for T.K. Soul. I don't usually comment on other people's opinions because it's just that, YOUR opinion, but when I read you rant I felt compelled to respond Kenne Wayne is a wonderful artist, we talked just recently prior to our Atl show. I had the opportunity to actually see his entire show, I was impressed by his performance and I told him so,He has some good songs which I have in my personal library. And..... T.K. Soul is the hottest artist in this circuit currently, not because he pays anyone, because the FANS say so. He carries the title " Bad Boy" because that's what the FANS call him. He's out here working because the FANS request him. Sir Charles Jones may have given himself the title " KING of southern soul but the FANS endorsed it. He works because that's who the people want to see. No disrespect to any other artist but this is a business and the key to success in any business is marketing and HPYE, that's the main ingredient "HYPE" this is an attribute T.K. SOUL & Sir Charles Jones pocess.You can not demand attention, notiriety, or popularity, you have to work your product. You can't blame other artist for being sucessful! The one thing Kenne Wayne does not have is a gimmick, you can't be angry because others do. There are a lot of GREAT vocallist, singing in church choirs and their showers, It takes so much more than that. What T.K. and Sir Charles have naturally is "SWAGGA" and "SEX APPEAL" It's what makes Beyonce soar above Fantasia who is a stronger vocalist. Every artist has "THEIR STYLE" what works for them may not work for someone else,what worked for them at one time may not work now, continued growth is contingent upon knowing what the audiance wants at all times. Also, there seems to be a lot of talk about T.K.'s recent purchases, houses, cars, boats, buses, vans.... and the use of limos from time to time. Hey, that's his money! As the kids say, it ain't trickin if you got it. A lot of artist have habits, drinking, drugs, gambling, women, T.K. SOUL does not. He is a phenomenal money manager, His loyal staff is PAID! How and why would you knock him for spending his money on what he wants? I can not understand that, but I know it's been the topic of many T.K. Soul conversations. T.K. SOUL owns his own distribution & record label. ALL booking is handled in-house. His money stays in-house! By the way, T.K. Soul has had 5 albums in a 7 year span, there are no real charts for this circuit, so the response of the fans in the audiance is how I measure a "HIT" Meet Me at The Spot, My Kind of Girl, Where Jody Stay, Cheatin and Lying, U ring My Bell, Try Me, It Aint Cheating Til You Get Caught, Party Like Back In The Day, If You Dont Want Me, My Life, Rehab........... Are they Hits? Yes T.K. Soul is a Billboard Artist, but that is not even the measure of sucess theses days, it's all about the FANS> Thanks for your time, just venting, no hard feelings. |
