Analogies

If you get any of these, you have a small window into my twisted mind:

Diana Ross is to Aretha Franklin as India.arie is to Erykah Badu.

Booker T. Washington is to W.E.B. Dubois as Armstrong Williams is to Tavis Smiley.

James Brown is to Stevie Wonder as R. Kelly is to John Legend.

Amiri Baraka is to Langston Hughes as Mos Def is to Chuck D.

Gladys Knight is to Millie Jackson as Yolanda Adams is to Lil’ Kim.

bell hooks is to Toni Morrison as Terry McMillan is to J. California Cooper.

Rudy Ray Moore is to Mario Van Peeples as Master P is to Spike Lee.

Dr. Dre is to Ice Cube as Jay Z is to Nas.

MS Word is to Wordperfect as Gmail is to Hotmail.

12 in Remix LP is to Live Radio as the Old Napster is to iTunes.

Ciara is to Aaliyah as Ashanti is to Mary J. Blige.

Peanut butter is to jelly as friendship is to marriage.

Did you mean Melvin Van Peeples or Mario? I understood the analogy, but I think Melvin is more appropriate for the comparison.

And bell hooks? How about Giovanni or Sanchez? G and S have a better grasp and use of erotic language than bell--- especially black erotic symbolism.

Sister Millie has more talent in her pinky toe than Lil' Kim has in her you-know-what. Both are raunchy I will admit, but the talent analogy ain't working for me.

But damn, you have a hell of a grasp of history---- You are one bad sis to mention Rudy Ray Moore, Millie Jackson, Mos Def,and Toni Morrison all in one article. Teach the Babies...teach the Babies!
