Does Bruno Mars have the best scam in music right now?

[pimpineasy]

how can someone be a crab in a barrel nikka with Bruno, when he is not Black he is filipino/mixed with some Puerto Rican


in fact, doesnt he have some Ashkenazi Jew in him? theres probably 99.9% chance he has more white in him than Black. when you add everything together(Ashkenazi, PR, from his father + his mother hSpanishpanish ancestry)

So before you listen and groove to music you must know the ancestry of the singers?

Ain't he part black himself?

No. People are hoping he might have African admixture from his Puerto Rican father but he's mestizo.

Even if he did, it would be so little it's pointless to bring it up.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Calm down with all the foolery

Naw you started it.
I don't mind if people disagree, but you crossed the line first.

Not sure if it’s been stated, but Justin Timberlake’s debut album Justified is all throwaways. Let Bruno eat.

Justin is the most overrated artist of this gen. fukk him too.
Not a great singer, Not a good dancer, Not a great performer, Not even in a great boyband member.
But I disagree, Justified doesn't sound or carry itself like a mike album. Sounds like some dated Timbaland/Neptunes.

He's problematic but ppl will dismiss it as entertaining. For those saying well at least he is doing real R&B and how black artist have resorted to trap, stop acting like the industry will green light this for a black artist, Stephanie MIlls spoke on this a month ago.

This woman has more heart than 95% of the Coli brehs.

 

[Wild self]

Trey songz and chris brown are selling us our own stereotypes

the promiscuous black man who is nothing more than a salivating sex crazed wildebeest

and it's too late for them - if they went to their label with a bruno mars type of songs, they'd get laughed out of the office

Facts. They reduced themselves for knockoff strip club music.

I see people saying this but CB just released a 57 song album for no reason
No way CB's label told him what and how to release that
CB recorded all those songs the way he wanted to

I haven't heard not ONE of those 57 songs

but if I had to guess, there are no "message music" songs on there, you know about black lives matter, single fatherhood, the struggle etc etc

or any slow "adele" type songs

I bet it's a bunch of uptempo dance/trap/hip hop songs about fukking, smoking, drinking, clubbing

but hey - tell me if i'm off base

I’m sorry.

Forgive me

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to speak on Black music. This thread is embarrassing

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

stop hating on the dude. he's been making music since he was born, grinding his whole damn life.

Dude definitely been grinding for the longest performing & writing songs for different artists.

 

[Cadillac]

So before you listen and groove to music you must know the ancestry of the singers?

moron. That's not the point. My point is addressing misusing "crab in a barrel nikkas". That's a phrase for a black person bringing down another black person.

And Bruno ain't black and is far from it.

 

[Slystallion]

Who wakes up on a Saturday to hate on Bruno Mars

Dude is a humble talented guy

The label only paid for 10 to 11 at max of those songs.

Everything else was all him.

 

[Kinguno]

They don't let black people do it

And once all those "grown and sexy" artists die that's the end of black r&b

 

[darryl]

Chris brown can pass for a damn Puerto Rican his damn self self if we're being honest. Can't just put it on race
