Oh ok Rude-y Tuesday.  It’s really not her responsibility to just keep cranking out records for you.

Let’s see, you’ve broken countless records, won six Grammy’s, released two multi-platinum albums about how much your love life sucks, and had surgery to fix your vocal chords.  And now you’re thinking about taking a break?  Go on ahead and do that!  It’s like, some people feel like superstars need to spend all their time trying to remain superstars.  Not everybody wants to work 25/8 like Beyonce.  If Adele wants to take a break for a few years, makes an amazing album, and comes back with less fanfare and press coverage than she has now…who cares?  If you like her enough, go seek her music.  Ever since Mariah came out and immediately put out five albums in a row, one every year for the first half of the ’90s, people act like if you’re not putting out a record, shame on you.  Maybe if Lady Gaga had sat her ass down somewhere after The Fame and took a hot minute, she could’ve made an album worth listening to.

And so what if Adele is taking a break for a man?  And?!  If the relationship ends, whatever.  It ended.  But life is ::this long:: and who wants to spend the whole of it chasing fame.  Let the girl get her some dick and make me a happy song.  There’s only so many times I can watch plaintive white girls crying over “Someone Like You” anyway.

Plus, there’s something to be said for bowing out at the height of your career.  If Janet had done that after All For You, we wouldn’t’ve been cursed with Damita Jo, 20 Y.O., and Discipline messing up her flawless legacy.  Go take a break, Adele.  Learn a dance step.  Find a stylist.  Come back in 2017 and give me a performance that doesn’t channel 8th grade math teacher at a funeral.

I respect that people will be sad that she’s not putting out more music for them, but think of how much more exciting you’ll be when she drops something amazing in five years.  I mean, I wish Sade put out an album every year as opposed to once a decade, but when they do, that shit is ON POINT okay?  Anita Baker?  Taking your time, and making it right.  

Leave Adele alone.  Let that girl go spend some money and have some sex.  Rolling in the DeepDick, now that’s what I’m talkin about.  Nevermind, she’ll find some good cock.  Set fire to her cervix.

Now wait now…that’s chlamydia.

But you know what I mean.
