imagine what this bish woulda pushed in the 90's

They had an UK artist like that in the 80's-90's,
Her name is Lisa Stansfield.
Much more talented if you ask me and her music had real soul.

You could tell she was authentic and had soul,
Even did remakes of classic soul records, you could still throw that on at a BBQ and people would still bob their head.
She had no gimmicks, not because she was white,
Not Because she had the precious syndrome but she was really talented and it was genuine.
She is what Madonna couldn't do and always tried to do,
Crossover genuinely.

 

[Street Knowledge]

She's moving units in an era where nobody buys music anymore. I give her extra props

 

[jerzboy]

what about all the black singers with the same and/or more talent that cant even go gold?

i respect her voice but f**k all that other chit.

@ anybody that has a problem with what im saying.

Man. Miss me with all that shyt. I'm sick of people saying this. Find me a young black singer that caters to both the teens and adults. The young ones are too busy trying to do 4 on the floor and mix in some slow stuff.

Find me an album from a young black R&B dude with the cohesiveness of her album. And by the way the music has to be exceptional too

I'm black by the way.

 

[Ohene]

is she that good...even for men to listen to?

 

[SCORCH]

Good for her but could care less.

It's COULDN'T care less you fooking spastic

Couldn't care less = I could not care any less about this, I don't give a shyt about this and I COULDN'T care less if I tried

'Could care less' means you DO care and that it is of some importance to you.

Nah, it's been proven time and again that you're an idiot with various threads you make, whether it be posts under this name or Wacky D. Nobody has said anything about kissing white "@$$" yet you for some reason come in here talking koons and white "priveledge" for no good reason at all. You should have just said what you really want to say in every post you make.. "IF I DON'T FEEL IT, EVERYBODY SHOULD FEEL HOW I FEEL"
Several other parties instantly realized the foolishness of your first two posts, nobody's cosigned that "chit", yet you'll continue to think something is wrong with everybody BUT you

And you're clearly racist against whites

im referred to as an idiot by whom? a bunch of creepy wierdos like yourself? i feel more comfortable with people like yall disagreeing with me actually.

another trait of guilt is that fact that youre lying about nobody agreeing with me when im clearly draped up & dapped out in this thread and pretty much every thread where i drop gems on simpletons like you. stop playing yourself like this man. its just not healthy.

so what are you getting mad for? i didnt say anything negative about adele. so obviously, yes you are mad that im not kissing white @$$. its not possible for you to be upset about anything else.

AND AGAIN; I ASK, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT RACISM IS!!?? OBVIOUSLY NOT. ITS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE RACIST.

and on top of that, ive never said anything racist, predjudice, or racially biased on here. so where are you getting this dumb chit from? i dont even use the term "cac".

youre lost.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Your problem should be with the artists who can't sing for shyt and sell, not the ones who actually have talent.

Anyone hating on Adele is simply deaf or can't accept that she's
not from your race or ethnicity. I don't give a fukk that she's white, and though her songs aren't for me, the talent is so obvious. Adele is a diamond in the industry right now because she's showing these generic artists that you can sell with with talent and not have to the same old shyt that's dominated the charts with no talent like Katy or Rihanna or gimmicks like Gaga or pure marketing like Beyonce. You guys complain about music not being as good as the past, but don't realize that what Adele is doing is shifting things back to that era, more like her would help.

Do you think we could get another Aretha right now? No way. Adele makes it a little possible for us to be able to have another Aretha. You're too stupid to understand that.

the fact that rihanna's name even entered your mind tells me all i need to know about you.

keep it moving. i dont have anymore tolerance left for stupidity from this thread. ive reached my peak.

[Jone2three45]

[Poetical Poltergeist]

It's COULDN'T care less you fooking spastic

Couldn't care less = I could not care any less about this, I don't give a shyt about this and I COULDN'T care less if I tried

'Could care less' means you DO care and that it is of some importance to you.

Yeah so what is your gripe? Why u mad? U thought u were correcting me?




Idiot.

 

[Rev]

Didnt get rich or die trying go diamond?

Na, 8x platinum.

I didn't realize "Confessions" went diamond.

Albeit 11x platinum, OutKast's album was a double...so it's really like 5.5MM in sales.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Now can we get Janelle Monae to go Diamond?
