CAC Harlow didn't know Brandy & Ray-J are siblings

[Luke Cage]

I made a thread a while back where I worked with some kids who didn't know DMX was. This was before he died where I think a lot of younger folks may have learned about him.


You dudes have to realize our generation is becoming old school now. Our cultural contemporaries from the 90s is shyt a lot of adults now never experienced and you'll find a lot of them are ignorant of shyt that everyone in our generation was aware of.

Bet if you ask who wrote "fight for your right to party" he would say beastie boys though.

I'm 26 and I only know that one song she has with Monica. and I would have to google the name of it.

I only know Brandy from Moesha and Cinderella.

and only know Ray - J from One wish and being Brandy's little brother.

 

[Another Man]

Who cares

This. You got cats in here taking offense too as if the knowledge of Brandy and Ray J being related is some prerequisite to be in the music biz in any form
Overwhelming majority of people his age would barely even know of Brandy, let alone her being Ray Js sister. Hell, many of em wouldnt even know Ray J did music himself. Another example of folks on the internet looking for shyt to be upset about

He's 24 these old nikkas need to stop gate keeping music . My 22 year old cousin has heard one Jay z song in his life , but put me on key glock , Pooh Shiesty , big scar years ago .

 

[Kingshango]

Wuuuuuut.

Yep, Brandy, Ray J and Snoop are cousins.

In fact, Ray J may have been the one that indirectly kicked off the beef between Pac and Biggie by spotting Faith and Pac together.

 

[old pig]

lol he’s 24

he’s a corny white dude who music I don’t fukk with at all except that one joint that was on madden a couple years ago but this ain’t it…this a force lmao

 

[Still Benefited]

All I know is he ruined PaperWork Party

 

[old pig]

Wait a minute

I love this song but to younger folks he’s more likely known as the guy who fukked kim k if even that

 

[mykey]

This is more like an MMA fighter not knowing who sugar ray Leonard is, and yes i'd be suspicious as to how much a student of the game they are if they don't know stuff like that.
People like this tend to pivot once shyt is no longer fun(or profitable) and abandon the communities to helped support them on some Kid Rock shyt.

-Pink.

-Post Malone.

-Miley Cyprus.

-Machine Gun Kelly.

- Robin Thicke.

The list goes on and on. culture vultures stay scavenging.

this actually decent imo

 

[Peachstate]

As much as I hear/see his name, I still have no idea who this white man is or why he's famous.

 

[breakfuss]

The whole conceit of the segment is to play music the artist might not know ... so I don't get the backlash. It shouldn't come as a shock someone his age isn't familiar. Brandy was huge from the mid 90s to early 00s but it ain't like she sustained her run outside of diehard r&b enthusiasts and I guess black folks.

 

[Braman]

Wait a minute

Cmon now that’s 1 song. Ray J was not a music star. He had this, One wish which was years later, and maybe 1 or 2 other notable songs. All spread out over time

People over 30 know Ray j bc he’s grandfathered into our conscious, bc he is brandy’s brother. So we know to keep an eye for him, got to know he’s a funny ngga, etc.

If you’re younger and have no reason to commit him to memory, he’s a pretty obscure celeb. Ray J has like 5 noteworthy moments/songs spread out over 20 years.
