Quite frankly I'm appalled. LOL. I knew the answers would be cut and dried, but I'm shocked that anybody could pick The Time over Full Force. I really didn't think it was close. No doubt The Time had some good stuff, and because of their presence in the movie "Purple Rain" they definitely are in my 40 something psyche more, but Full Force is just so much more prolific and versatile and their hottest joints were at least as hot as The Time's(Temporary Love Thang, Ain't My Type of Hype v 777 9311, Jungle Love). Sure we can throw in Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis' work with Janet Jackson and Sounds Of Blackness, and that ups The Time's output a bit, but Full Force is still going strong on the production tip, and have produced everybody from UTFO to Bob Dylan. Plus most folks slept on their work in '88 with James Brown on "I'm Real" remember "Static". On that work alone they should be rated over The Time. Now I'm not saying they're better musicians, they just put their thing down better and longer.
I'll give yall a do over. Google The Time, Google Full Force. Get back at me.

About this blog:
POSRO isn't a household word in American culture, but it has been featured in publications as varied as The Source magazine and The New York Times.
For those of you that know--and those of you that don't--the name is a play on the word NEGRO. We took away the NEG-ative prefix and replaced it with a POS-itive one. We "Reversed The Charges" so to speak.
Reversing the negative charges in the thought processes that go into the coverage Black people receive in the media, even in the age of Obama, is what this blog is all about.
The subject matter will vary as the mood hits me One day I may be talking sports. The next day local news in Trenton, NJ. But no matter what I talk about, I promise to be honest, respectful and entertaining. I hope you enjoy reading in the days, weeks, months and years to come.
