Lately, singer Brian McKnight has received more publicity for his rather explicit music offerings, generally related to criticism for them.

Regardless of how you may feel or not feel about the explicit nature of his music lately, you have to take notice of his rant, throwing elbows at not one…not two…but three influential members of the African-American entertainment community.

Evidently McKnight is less than pleased with the scrutiny of his career, relative to those mentioned in the Twitter rant.  It seems McKnight senses a double-standard as to what is “acceptable” behavior for stars these days.  A triple-decker “beef” sandwich for Brian McKnight.

He does have a point…but the real question is, is McKnight credible enough to be the one to make it? Hat tip to allhiphop.com for the story.

The song features a familiar refrain, so everyone should know the words by

Floyd "Money" Mayweather

now. I guess when “ESPN” says it…it’s “news.”  When Mo’Kelly says it (weeks before) it’s just a “blog post.”  Check out the latest boxing editorial by columnist Scoop Jackson on ESPN.com and see how that mirrors  the editorial by Mr. Mo’Kelly regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr.  The only “real” difference is that Mr. Mo’Kelly was WEEKS ahead of the curve…

Once again…

“He’s (Mayweather) refusing to fight. He’s refusing to make a statement (outside of his adviser/promoter Leonard Ellerbe saying that “no negotiations have ever taken place nor was there ever a deal agreed upon … to fight Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 13.”) in defense of why Pacquiao is fighting Antonio Margarito instead on that date.

How long does a vacation last when the other world-dominating-pound-for-pound title holder puts the ball in your court, throws down the gauntlet in your corner? How long do you enjoy life when philosophically the “other side” is publicly putting your manhood out there to be questioned?”

- Scoop Jackson: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Disappoints

“With the latest round of “he said,” “he never said,” it again has become painfully obvious the reasons why Money Mayweather is not the greatest of all time.

Not even close. Yes, Mo’Kelly said it… “not even close.”

Depending on what you’ve read, on what day and what sources were cited, the Mayweather camp has, or has not been in talks to schedule a super fight between Mayweather and boxing superstar (and newly-elected Philippines congressman), Manny Pacquiao.”

- Mr. Mo’Kelly: Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Full of Excuses

“The last true ride-or-die boxer whose legacy was always in question because of the fights he seemed to be avoiding was Roy Jones Jr. Regardless of who he fought, Jones was one of the greatest fighters anyone had ever seen. He made fans fall in love with him in the ring, even when there were piles of questions and contradictions that lived outside of the ring.

In the end, Roy Jones Jr. disappointed his fans.

Then he just stopped fighting. He stopped fighting while he was in the ring.

No one in recent boxing history let his fanbase down the way Roy did. Ask Roy Jones Jr. fans; they’ll tell you about the emptiness they still feel in their guts about how Roy went out. They’ll tell stories of betrayal.”

- Scoop Jackson: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Disappoints

“We’ve seen this story before. Once upon a time there was a “great” fighter named Roy Jones Jr. who seemed to have no peer. He “seemed” to have no peer because we weren’t really sure as his opponents often times didn’t require the best of Jones. Later in his career we learned the truth.”

- Mr. Mo’Kelly: Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Full of Excuses

“Mayweather is making it seem like he is more concerned about protecting the “zero” on the right side of his record than he is proving that he is what he’s said he is: Better than Sugar Ray Robinson. Better than Muhammad Ali. That he’s the “best” fighter “ever.”

Which, if we are being honest, is the biggest mistake he could ever make.”

- Scoop Jackson: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Disappoints

“The greatest fighters chase adversity and seemingly impossible odds. In fact, that needs to be said again. The greatest fighters chase adversity and seemingly impossible odds. Of course boxing is a business. Of course Mayweather is “managing” his own career.

But he can’t have it both ways.”

- Mr. Mo’Kelly: Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Full of Excuses

No, Mr. Mo’Kelly is NOT in any way insinuating that Scoop Jackson “borrowed” anything for his column.  But Mr. Mo’Kelly IS saying that once again, the mainstream media is both LATE and SIMILAR to The Mo’Kelly Report.

Mo’Kelly – July 26th…

ESPN – August 10th…

Jus’ sayin’…
