blacks praising Adele = blacks praising a white Jesus?

[JahBuhLun]

all these black coli militant losers crying cuz of music shyt is corny

every single album by a black white brown yellow artist goes gold/platinum because white people buy it what else is knew

you really think that successful black artists are only succesful because black people buy their music? lol fukkouttahere.

its not mathimatically possible to be successful in music with only black people buying music. you're only 5% of the entire population you simp losers.

That's not a coli-militant notion though.

 

[tremonthustler1]

white folks buy the most music man

And? Look up and down the list of Black Artists who went gold and platinum without needing white people to purchase it. That base is low in numbers right now

 

[L. Deezy]

y'all dont see that black radio doesnt care? They wont take the stance to say hey, white people got Adele but we got Jill and we gonna get behind her?

They dont fuhking care. So why y'all mad at Adele for getting her push?

show us this imaginary list.

 

[DaddyTime]

Its not about Crate digging. Do you have to crate dig for Adele?

We talking bout mainstream. 95% OF OUR MAINSTREAM music is all trash with a redundant theme. parties and sex.

You're being near sighted.

We don't own/control any of these mainstream outlets.

When a black "soul" artist is making great music they're not perceived with the same desire from middle America, the Erykah Badus, the Anthony Hamilton's, Soulchilds, etc etc.

To sit here and say we're simply not trying and that we're hurling empty complaints is not only condescending, but quite ridiculous.

Again, I bear no grudge to Adele but there are things aside from her music that make her "marketable" to middle America.

It's not race, it's marketing. Michael Jackson, a black man, made Thriller. That didn't sell?

Ummm yeah

 

[tremonthustler1]

show us this imaginary list.

Imaginary? TV One has a whole series of successful Black artists who couldn't fully cross over and get featured every week. It's called Unsung. I suggest you watch it and you'll be surprised how long the list really is.

Who do you think were buying Levert records? Teddy Pendergrass? fukkin Troop? Keith Sweat?

Ahhhhh, so this is why the themes to our R&B songs are mostly vulgar and redundant. OH I SEE...

What is black radio? Are we talking about stations that play black music. I have no idea who even has control on what can be played nowadays.

 

[JahBuhLun]

You missing your own point.. White radio has always played the so-called top 3 or 4 of what is deemed the current black hitmakers. My issue is black radio.

yeah, Jill dont sell well. But, she does arena tours. How can black radio justify not playing her if she sells out arenas and the top R&B artists they push outside of Beyonce cant?

But those top 3 or 4 Black hitmakers are not making what is deemed soulful music. Tyrese has probably made the most soulful song this year, I haven't heard it on a white station yet. In terms of Jill Scott, is she headlining a tour, or is she part of a package? Janet Jackson can't sell out arenas and they are changing dates for her tour. Black radio plays Jill Scott around here. Black artists have to go more pop in order to cross over and white artists have to sound more soulful to cross over, problem is, Black soul singers don't get played on white stations, unless its the oldies station. They play the fukk out of Al Green and Marvin Gaye.

 

[Kaypain]

she's a white female John Legend

 

[mr.africa]

LOl real sh!t. My cousin sent me a text talking about Adele the other day about her sales. I was like she has a legion of fans. And then the dikkriders who just want to be down, jumped on the wave. I told him IDGAF about Adele or her music, and Im still not checking for her just cause of sensationalism.

Then I threw on some Sza.
