Sidebar, this just shows how influential Aaliyah/Timbaland and Janet Jackson/Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were. Those artists and producers made music that appealed to men and women.

No man would be embarrassed bumping Aaliyah or Janet because their music was not only of the highest quality, their music had substance. Even if they were singing about heart break or men doing them wrong, their music never felt gender specific, even their women empowerment songs wasn’t on the nose.

Now these women lean so heavily into being sexual, you forget they even make music and it becomes an afterthought. I feel bad for Tinashe because damn she’s trying, but there are 100s of pretty singers that just don’t have the X-Factor like the aforementioned.

Mya’s career didn’t go nowhere. Nivea’s career didn’t go no where. Christina Milian’s career didn’t go nowhere. It’s a ruthless industry. Just being pretty, dancing and being able to sing isn’t enough. shyt, Ciara had her moment in the sun but she’s been washed up since the 2010s.

Beyoncé and Rihanna are extremely rare. To still be relevant as a black female artist after decades is unicorn like. And the latter was smart enough to diversify even though she can come back to music anytime and still sell out.
if the beats / back instrumentals are dope enough, men will listen

all them other chicks you listen made flimsy music that hasn't stood the test of time
