I also thought this quote from the article was interesting too.

“It’s almost like [pop] becomes a negative when it’s a black girl that looks like me, singing the records that I choose to sing because I loved them. Let’s celebrate the fact that I’m able to have a record with Sam Smith while also having a record with 6lack!”

Is she pretty popular? I feel like she’s not as popular as she should be. This song is the only one I know from her and I love it.

don’t ever remember hearing it on black radio though.

This is common knowledge....
Not to me. I think it is if ur a music head and on average we hear stories about how shytty it can be but to see it broken down systematically.

it put a lot of shyt into perspective for me about what these artists go thru even as we clown them for gettin on if they fail.
I guarantee the average radio listener doesn’t have a clue about half that shyt.

I think the problem is she stuck between two worlds. She wants to be an artist that transcends genres but that means silly compartmentalized music industries, fans, stations don’t know where to put her music. I also noticed that song wasn’t really gettin play on blk stations either. And it was definitely a whole vibe.

True, if you aren't an independent, you are losing in this game.

Normani needs to make better music, her songs don’t be hittin
I think she’s had quite a few bops. Love lies, Checklist, Dancing With a Stranger were solid to me.

I even liked “Slow Down” b/c it was so different from a lot of what’s out there right now.


She had a nice little flow.
Motivation had to grow on me b/c it sounds Ariana Grandish to me. But the video definitely set the tone off.

I also actually loved “Waves”. She’s had some impressive runs.

I think management and promotion is more of a problem than her actual music. Waves was pure blk excellence.
:wow:

Seems like some of that jealousy might be coming from the fact that Normani is much better looking than her and ole girl looks like a foot.
That’s impossible. According to some on the Coli, only blk women are threatened by non-blk women. Whites/latinas/Asians aren’t jealous or threatened by us b/c we at the bottom of the barrel.

See that’s some shyt I would NEVER have known.
I was just joking around when I said some of these 6 cert, 6 figure Coli kings might be richer than ur Music Crush Mondays, but that shyt could be hella true.

it makes me wonder if all those artists flossing with chains and cars, $1000 weaves and cribs are really just wracking up credit card debt. That’s some scary shyt to imagine.

It can’t be that bad tho...right?:merchant::lupe::damn:
