I take them in high esteem cos they are globally known, influence other musicians worldwide, e.g, MJ, Lil Wayne, Usher, Alicia Keys, etc. I take them highly and even worship them cos some of them are unbeleivably gifted.

Coming to comparing one mediocre artist in the name of Asa with Chris Breezy, I'll say is a music blasphemy, and mind you, I'm talking about entertainment in general here. Asa is good, credible for her level, this i confess, but professionally speaking in music, the distance that Chris Brown takes from the girl artistically, professionally is over a HUNDRED MILLION miles, #FACT.

Lyrically, I still maintain that comparing Asa with Breezy is a musical sacrilege of the highest level!!
Have you heard Crawl, Pot of Gold, My Last, X, 2012, Next To You, Today, I'm Sorry, How Do You See,? Etc. I bet you've at least heard Forever, Beautiful People, With You, Yeah3x, Don't Wake Me Up, Don't judge Me, etc. These are REALLY global masterclass records that a THOUSAND Asa combined can NEVER churn out in million lifetimes. Again, this comparison is totally inconceivable, enigmatic and so absurd. Blasphemy!!

I know Asa is so talented lyrical wise thou, yet never ever imagine this comparison again.
