Coli nikkas hate every female. Yesterday they was slandering Serena Williams like she's not the GOAT black female athlete

Serena Williams is a supreme athlete.
But in the last few years she's out here trying to be Clayface or some other super villain.

Don't be mad at me.
She did it to herself.

All she’s gotta do for the rest of her life is lay on her back and take those Swizz Skeets

She's gorgeous

At one point she was the baddest singer out. But young singers come up and replace older ones.

I dunno what happened to her creative direction or process but she went from making interesting, good music to just being trash. Her and John Legend had very similar situations where both switched their entire styles up after having smash hit ballads. Instantly becoming corny, chasing white listeners and contemporary black audiences lol.

That's what happened to the process based on what you said.

Not saying I think this about Alicia or John, but when an artist gets a big hit, and then they get another one that sounds similar, they start realizing the formula and milk it for what it's worth. As long as it's successful, they're going to keep using the formula. They only stop using it when it starts hurting their sales, or they flop beyond compare.

Eminem went through it. Maroon 5 is apparently going through it. Ed Sheeran is going through it. Some people believe the Jonas Brothers are going through it. At some point, it's not about making the best work from an artistic standpoint. You're chasing hits for the money and the recognition, so why mess with that?

One thing i like about NY they'll have a track bigging up the city every now and then. Haven't seen that with other demos

yeah its a common trope
LA and Chicago has em ATL has em. Every big city has em, but NY def #1 on this list.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

she was that status before her debut album even came out

Questlove exposed her story back in the day about her basically being a label entity they couldn't figure out how to market for years until after neo soul was a thing.

there are performers and there's artists. Alicia to me is in that Bruno Mars class of talented performers I don't want to hear. Their art is very contrived. Their music has no identity

Bruno don't take risks.

Mike was..Mike

Prince did what he wanted and pushed boundaries

Bruno is like karaoke.
