Remember That time When Rick James shyted on Alicia Keys Lol

[Hungerpain]

Cause Destiny's Child and Lover Boy which were topping the R&B charts were a better representation of R&B? Stop it slime. I'm not saying Alicia was Soul. I very clearly stated she wasn't. I said her music was more soulful than the shyt I mentioned and what I mentioned were the top R&B songs when she dropped. That's the point.

A New York chick shooting a video in New York, at a bodega, in a diner crooning about how a man should treat a sista is undoubtedly more soulful than 3 bytches flailing about on a green screen talking about "pay my bills" or Mariah at a race track or a carnival talking some dumb shyt. All she has to do to be more soulful than them is write her own music. She was doing that and then some.

This is facts.

I mostly enjoy music from artists that people usually claim can't sing like alecia keys, macy gray, James Brown, ms badu, dido (pawg), Amy Winehouse etc.....it must be the message and their delivery.

Alicias first two CDs were classic shyt, can’t tell me otherwise

 

[Clayton Endicott]

What about Rachelle Ferrell, or Lalah Hathaway? What about all these

serious bytches that can really sing?

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Esperanza Spalding is what Alicia Keys should have been. An actual prodigy.

Hilarious.

Rick James: A minor?!? Really?

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Still nothing on when he destroyed beyonce

 

[FLATOP]

Its pretty funny how you actually needed a nice voice to be a singer back in the day

 

[god shamgod]

Reading it in Rick James voice makes it funnier

 

[ThrobbingHood]

If Alicia Keys was dark skinned, she wouldn't have had half of the success she has. Word to India Arie.

 

[Max Power]

You don't hear musicians give technical breakdowns on music like that anymore.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Still nothing on when he destroyed beyonce

This, The "Come to death row" speech and ODB "WU Tang is for the children"... all of them are permanently engraved in black history.

Idk why ya'll hate her so much

It’s the consequence of being too open and letting fans too much into your personal life. Eventually they’ll find a reason to resent you overtime.
