are or aren't?

and the second highlighted is funny as shyt...

Thats a crock of shyt being as tho Jill Scott, Jazmyn Sullivan, Chrissette Michele, Melanie Fiona, Marsha Ambrosius and others have been signed and releasing music for years now. Black radio wont give them the push. They wait on the latest Tinashes to drop records.. White radio will push Adele tho... They pushed Amy.. When they get a unique artist with a VOICE. They push them...
I meant aren't, sorry about. As to the second bolded being a crock, Have any of these women sold 3 million records total between them? I will even throw in Jennifer Hudson, who probably has the best voice out of the bunch. Black radio gives them a push, white radio doesn't, once you get that white audience, that's when they reach the next level. Mary J. Blige has made it to an extent, but there are not a lot of examples out there. Black radio plays white "soul artists" all of the time. It's always been that way. Teena Marie, Lisa Stansfield, Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Adele. White radio will play Usher and Chris Brown and Beyonce, but not any of the female artists you stated earlier.

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?

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 mathematically possible to be successful in music with only black people buying music. you're only 5% of the entire population you simp losers. its not racism, plants, etc. its math.

go do more education.

its not about CRATE DIGGING tho..

This is about what is pushed to the forefront. If Adele and her songs getting bumped and all we got to offer being pushed to the forefront is trash, how can we be mad she winning?
So you're saying all "we" have to offer is trash?

Sounds like you could do with some create digging. :mjpls:

But really, Adele's success is the same reason why someone like Diplo can make $19 million dollars in 2014 alone, why Eminem is one of the highest selling rappers of all time, and why Justin Bieber is still managing to break chart records.

Whiteness.

They package black music and culture in a digestible form for white audiences to relate to and consume. Especially those that hold a resentment towards black people.

Nobody in my circle talks about Adele. I guess it depends on the company you keep around :troll:
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.

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.
