India Arie has some words for Janelle Monae & Meg The Stallion || Comment Comes After Monaes Performance At New Orleans Essence Festival

[Mike18jj]

Calling her musty lol. Man that’s why most women won’t check women….. They get mobbed. Tough

I remember that chick from the old twitter days, she actually faked like she had cancer for sympathy.

These bytches don't be hitting on shyt, you just got to ignore the bird call and continue to do you.

India not lying because when meg, Janelle, etc get older they going to tell how fukked up the music industry is while reaping the benefits now.

Respect to Jeru but Lauryn Hill did it better.

You make a good point. She definitely was a force of nature in her prime.
I bumped The Score and Miseducation repeatedly when they came out and bought a few copies (way before streaming) and passed them out.

Years later I was dating a lady that lived in Danbury Conn and on a joy ride around town she took me by the FCI Danbury where L. Boogie stayed after she got jammed up for taxes. After her release I recall her thanking all her fans from around the globe especially Japanese fans that sent her the most fan letters.

 

[Roland Coltrane]

They basically calling her Pick Me, Auntie, washed up, bitter, saying the male artists aren't critiqued and telling her to stay in her lane

I'm rooting for twitter to die off
I'm not sure it doesn't do more bad than good

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Ok but Jeru ain't really the one to be speakin on black women

what he do

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Respect to Jeru but Lauryn Hill did it better.

Lauryn ain't write the lyrics for hers tho

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Name 5 without Google.

Yeah that’s crazy lol. I like India but I can definitely name more Janelle songs.

Video
Brown skin
Im not my hair
The truth
Get it together

Though I was a VH1 soul watcher and my ex was a incense burning type chick who listened to her all the time so maybe I'm biased. Video is my jam though.

This thread is the only place where nikkas will even pretend to know 3 Janelle Monae songs and this is coming from someone who purchased The Archandriod on CD.

nikkas trying to pull rank on an artist with platinum albums & Grammys for a F list artist who is most famous for struggling to get any type of buzz. Unbelievable

That’s what the streets say? Or is this a fact?

 

[darealvelle]

This is spot on. If I'm a TV executive I'd make a show out of this

 

[Roland Coltrane]

That’s what the streets say? Or is this a fact?

she lost a lawsuit

 

[Danie84]

I never thought the Susan L. Thomas Essence I grew up on would turn into a titty-twerk farce

 

[CrimsonTider]

The hypocrisy of women, is a generalization, I'll admit to that. My point though - women will openly disagree with what India said, more so than not, and act as if she's old, bitter, jealous, etc. Yet when it comes to tangible support of female artist, they will only support the female artist who embody what India was speaking on. If there is nothing wrong with what Meg and Janelle are currently during, why aren't they being supported more?

They are being supported

Dudes are mad asf in this thread that the only people that agree are boomers and old Gen X people.

Flopped. She can show her whole a$$hole in the next album rollout yet her lifetime album sales won't reach a quarter of what India's first album did while presenting her self of the thot antithesis.


Queen India won
