Now Kelis is saying that Rihanna rode her wave

[jerzboy]

What exactly is she taking credit for?

Everybody thinks they’re this great innovator. Meanwhile the label, stylist, publicist, A&R, mua, and the mofos who write your songs and make the beats are the innovators.

That’s why they can copy and paste your shyt onto a better bytch.

Ehhhh, ur an idiot if you think Kelis’ look/image, when she first came into the game wasn’t her idea, and fully authentic. Sonically, she always blurred the lines between hard R&B, with a pop/rock edge. Not that she was this first to do this, but as a full package... yeah

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

Rih may have copied some of her styles from Kelis. Kelis may want to be careful tho. First she insults Beyoncé then Pharrell now Rihanna.... She begging to get fully blackballed.

she has nothing to lose. she hasn't put out an album in almost 10 years and she seems to be tired of the music industry in general.

seems like she's getting gassed up by her fanbase to sound more and more reckless tho and it's gonna end up killing her credibility. I thought she had a decent point about having her name on a sample list without even having any input and the hypocrisy of how everyone involved in it keeps spouting off about artists rights

OP must be a young nkka. Rihanna definitely jacked Kelis' wave. Stylistically and aesthetically, Kelis was ahead of all those broads. She was a baddie...


This was Rihanna wave...

Kelis was already on this type time...

She had a sauce about her, whenever you seen her. Fast forward (around the time Jay take over Def Jam, Rihanna comes back out w/ a different sound, and repackaged...

 

[The Guru]

She didn't really say that though. Some guy did.

 

[Consigliere]

Not that she was this first to do this

This is the key.

She didn’t invent anything.

Everybody thinks they’re the first to rock their hat to the side. Lol.

I’m not a young nikka at all, I’m old enough to remember Rihanna had one foot out the door until The Dream and Neyo put in that work, they all kind of rose to the top together.

Strong candidate for Troll Tweet of the Year tbh

Two different lanes.

Kelis always had a more Alternative Urban/Black Hippie type of style.
Rihanna is just whatever is trendy R&B/hip Hop style.

 

[Thelonious Napz]

I mean, I can see that lol. Rihanna did kinda shark Kelis's "Bossy" look during her Rated R" era.

 

[Doobie Doo]

She doing what she can to get her buzz back

Them Esco child support checks dried up already didn't they?

It was some issues not sure where it’s at

 

[The Pledge]

Has Kelis always took these Khia-esque takes?

Just stick to that cooking YouTube shyt. It's beyond embarrassing now.

 

[Black]

I fukk with Kelis but nahh sis

Thank you for being impartial bae one of the things I love the most about you.

 

[The_Truth]

Ugghhhhh that’s not how art works bruh. Not saying the Rihanna/ Kelis steez is true or not, but many artist in all realm steal influences/ideas from the lesser successful acts. It’s a thing where you take something niche and make it mainstream. That’s the reason why more underground acts/niche artists get sharked, as opposed to stealing/being influenced from successful acts. Most people won’t believe the lesser known.

Good point.

 

[seabreeze80]

Bossy era Kelis was the most popular though. Rhianna definitely took her style




But Rhinna is more talented than Kelis with a much better voice. I dont mind taking trivial things from the less talented to make something better.

what talent?
