blacks praising Adele = blacks praising a white Jesus?

[No1]

she aint lying though...

ya'll LOVE to profess your love for Badu & The goddes Jill Scott

but where's the support for their albums ??

Why do people say this dumb shyt with no proof? Black people are 13 percent of the population. Only black people support her. But this thread is stupid as fukk. You guys have gone too far.

breh ignition remix saved my fukking life

 

[Renegade47]

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...

you do know who run black radio stations right?

 

[Renegade47]

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

you comparing then to now. we talking about now. shyt wasnt as fukked back then like it is now.

 

[3rdWorld]

bytch is no teena Marie. All this is due to a severe lack of esteem within the black community.

 

[jackswstd]

Where exactly are all these black folks praising her cause most I hang around know who she is, but don't fukk with her music at all?

Rant about someone on Twitter who doesn't give a fuk about you brehs

Ambitious people who have goals don't do that ish. It's corny.

You said it with the bolded. It's loser talk. Opinions are opinions, but people going after shyt in life don't feel right frivolously stripping away credit from people who busted their ass to create their dream.

Or maybe the execs are telling Black artists "nah" slow, soulful songs aren't selling, but then turn around and push the Adeles and Sam Smiths as true soul artists. But they don't sound like R&B artists to me. They sound like pop artists that sing with more feeling. But they are blurring the lines in order to marginalize Black R&B artists. Just like the song Mary J. Blige had with Sam Smith, they didn't play her verse on the white stations, but they played the hell out of the song with her verse on the 2 Black stations we have.

10-12 yrs ago somebody flawlessly executed the plan to completely marginalize R&B as a genre.

The 1st step was to fracture it by dividing it into sub-genres.
2. take the less pop/upbeat songs and slowly remove them from urban radio and onto Adult/Contemporary stations
3. give even more airplay to rap/r&b collabs
4. make hiphop the official genre of black people under the age of 35... which opened the door for...
5. pop artist with hiphop beats to get urban radio play which open the door for...
6. white pop artist who make adult contemporary/r&b-ish music to get called soul artist.

Its a cold world. The execs will say actual R&B doesn't sell, yet they'll call Sam Smith an R&B/soul artist . I just feel if the Elle Varners and Janel Monets got the same kind of promo/budget they'd be legit stars. The days of being a R&B star is just over and black music as a whole is worse for it.

That is a severe fukking reach...

Basically....until I hear black women bumping Adele like they do Beyonce(which I don't see happening anytime soon...black chicks threw Keyshia Cole to the bushes when she dissed B,and Keyshia is the shyt..hood appeal too. ) , THEN people can "worry" .

I don't see what is wrong with some black people like Adele's music though.... @3rdWorld talks about lack of self esteem in the black community.


YOU'RE RIGHT...


Worrying about other black people's musical taste is fukking pathetic....people who do so have low fukking self esteem. Until Adele says some disrespectful shyt, I don't see what the big deal is.

Some paranoid people out here

 

[Insensitive]

She was wrong about "Neo-Soul" shyt didn't just start in 2015

 

[DEAD7]

But I sound like the fun police, and a "hotep". It's not cool for black people to be aware of the okie doke in 2015. "You need p*ssy"

You can't be serious

 

[Somewhere For Me]

Let.this.woman.live.

I'm not even into her music like that but damn, the claws have been coming out at this woman non-fukking stop...

When are people going to realize the more energy you put behind hating someone, the more that person is going to grow?

Just like the Kardashians: Everybody hates them but can't stop talking about them just to hate them but can't understand why they are still in the spotlight.

Bad publicity is better than no publicity. Controversy fame is better than no fame.

This is what the labels want and this is what they're going to feed off on.

Get it together folks..
