Man, looking back at this thread, it's funny to see how many co-signs were dropped even though it seemed like a troll thread :heh:

Before this thread, hate for this chick was rare on here (if not nonexistent)......the fact that's she's pretty, obviously helped that

I think some of these nikkas KNEW damn well they wasn't feelin' her music like that, but decided not to voice it to avoid lookin' like a hatin' ass nikka

bytch just seem like one of those artists who some people like to pretend to 'get' and be a fan of, just because they obviously have talent and because they're 'different'. I think that's what's been happening on here up until recently

Now some bold-ass nikka announces how much he thinks she sucks, and some of these nikkas slowly coming out of hiding on some

And they like.......

:lupe: "well since it's been brought up.......I don't fukk with her music like that either....."

:skip: "well now that you mention it, her music isn't really for me......"

:wow: "I don't hate her, I respect her talent but she's just not my style....."



:dead:

I'm sorry.....but like I said before, the bytch makes boring-ass music. Great singer, not criticizing her lyrics, but she can't hold anyone's attention for long. She was kinda gettin' there with that Q.U.E.E.N. track, but even that wasn't that great

I'm not saying she needs to put out a club banger or something that tops the charts, but she needs some more memorable-sounding shyt. Everything I've hear from her so far was boring, forgettable, or just weird

She needs to put out more of this:



And less of this:



Why anytime people like something that's artistic, they have to be 'trying to be different' or 'pretending'? We can't like art? We can't truly like Being John Malkovich or Tree of Life? We must be pretending to like it because there's no way we actually understand it. I mean if you don't understand it, there's NO way in hell we do. We are just trying to get attention and have people think we are smart. When actually we are ignorant simple minded fukks, right?

Sorry for the rant. Let me shut up and go back to pretending to listen to this Radiohead album.

Calm down, breh :whoa:

I wasn't talking about her ACTUAL fans with the 'pretend to get' comment....I was talking about nikkas who legit don't get the music or don't personally care for it unlike her real fans......but rather than just admit that, they avoid talking about it and instead just co-sign her based on the fact that she's recognized as being talented (or the fact that she's pretty)

Shots weren't meant for you personally breh. I just get tired of people assuming that fans of non-mainstream are pretending. In the height of the neo-soul era, people swore that every one who like Common's "The Light" was a bandwagon fan who wasn't down from day one. People who liked Lauryn Hill's second album were just trying to connect themselves to the struggle through Lauryn cause there's no way they actually liked the music. :comeon:. shyt is just tired. Why do we assume the worst? Why not assume people who fukk with Janelle actually like her music? Instead it's we trying to be down with the weird or nerd crowd or whatever. It's just old to me.

Adele is dope

Yeah that post made absolutely no sense. Adele is one of the best POP singers out right now. And that is not a sarcastic or insulting comment by the way because she has referred to her style being pop herself. I respect the hell out of her because she is one of the pop singers currently that reminded people that Pop does not necessarily=BAD.

Rihanna should never be in the same sentence as her especially when she can't write, can't sing good without it being vocals retouched by the studio, can't play instruments,etc. How do you compare someone with no talent to someone with elite talent? That is like comparing @Slaimon to @Illeye buckmatic

When Janelle Monae did Let's Go Crazy during that Prince tribute, I wanted somebody to bumrush that stage, badly.

This woman is the epitome of what I despise about Neo-Soul.

It's good to have influences and have that reflect in your own music, but don't try to fukkin' recreate music that was already done and done better.


that shyt and her music was huff.
she is pretty much, wack as esthero.
except this time, she is black.

chick is another wack attempt to make triphop, and another example of an epic fail, at it.

Honestly she just isn't that good. An okay singer who has to rely on acting and looking weird to be interesting. She has the whole package in terms of a commercial prototype ...beautiful, can be catchy, can perform well on stage etc but its missing something. Something about it isn't right, it seems off. I don't want to hear "oh you just dont understand her" either...bullshyt I grew up on Prince and I still don't understand him after all these years but I could still connect to his music. She has an inability to build that connection and she comes off as just some novelty act.

This is such a lie. Even if you don't like her, you can't deny that she can sing her ass off.

You're trying too hard.

Nobody is going to look up the shyt you're referencing. And after hearing her best work, even if you don't like her, you can't call her wack. That's just some hating ass shyt right there.

She can't sing her ass off. I know she is "different" and you want to like her and all of that but....come on now I've heard dumb broads walking down college sidewalks that bust out singing for no damn reason who sound exactly the same as her. She has a high level talent show voice, thats about it.

Lol, get out. Just say you don't like her and then that's perfectly fine, it's your opinion. But she can sing.
