She dont look better than tinashe
She cant sing that much better than tinashe
She cant dance better than than tinashe
She dont have a hit as big as tinashe

If tinashe cant make, she aint gonna make it.

For whatever reason its tough for black women right now. And they making some great music.

But meanwhile Miley Cyrus below talent having ass is a huge star.

I'm asking how and why on the fanbase. Pre GGGB she didn't really have a "fanbase" per say she was a singer making hits. Imo, she didn't have a true following until Chris Brown.

As far as the hits, honestly that part is damn near irrelevant. First of all look at the thread you're posting in, it's obvious image has way more to do with female artists success than music. Rihanna's music is mostly label manufactured and ghostwritten for her. So let's kill the idea right now that Rihanna is in the position purely from music or talent. The whole reason I mentioned Keri Hilson is proof that it's not about music since she's written hits for multiple artists while her own career struggled. Ciara had hits, Alicia Keys had hits, Ashanti had hits. But Rihanna lapped them and the likes of Mary J and Mariah Carey in the span of a couple years.

I just want to know what went so right for Rih to the point where so many talented singers are a) Failing while using her image blueprint (SZa), fail with music MADE for rihanna (tinashe)
Label manufactured = hits...that's what you need to be relevant. Her hits paired with being attractive (men pay attention) and her style (women follow) made HER matter. Kelis had a dope image but not the hits to warrant being followed. Rih's music is also crossover, it's not purely r&b. What went so right is GGGB, that album dominated charts for damn near 18 months spawning multiple hits that made her unavoidable.

The industry is different today, fragmented listening habits make it hard to transcend, add in the fact you get so much more noise from all the ways artists can get on. While people complain about the industry politics, that closed system of the past presented more polished artists and made people super stars, not just someone with "a buzz"

Nicca. Listen to me when i tell you this. Do not and I mean this seriously, listen to a broad who draws freckles on her face and take her word seriously.

She is a liar and a charlatan.

So is she a Muslim? I dont really doubt people when they talk about normal everyday shyt. These are weird things to lie about. She most likely was a practicing Muslim virgin at that time and has since had some experiences. I will say I am confused about where she's from. The article back then said she's from STL which is why I took notice and sought out her music. I see people on here are saying Jersey. Either way she was really dope then. Ill have to check out her new stuff.
People who desperately want to craft an image lie :yeshrug:
People were calling her out like 5 years ago.

We got to support these women man. Adele out here moving millions and we're forced to talk about how great she is, but sistas are out here killing it but barely moving the needle. We got to find somebody else besides fukkin Beyoncé and Rihanna. Who can run shyt when those two are chillin? Like how come no woman is out here running shyt RIGHT NOW? Beyoncé chillin, Rihanna already put her album out so she's chillin. Can SZA hold the crown until they come back? I don't think so. Personally Lion Babe(Jillian Hervey) should be one of the biggest stars in music right now but that's just my little opinion.

I see what you mean OP. Two main differences:

- I don't think sza has really gotten that mainstream push Tinashe got yet. I mean label push yeah but TDE is weird. Kendrick is the only one who really picked up in the mainstream. Q is kinda in C list purgatory, Soulo fell off, Jay Rock never made it, Isiah is disregarded. So it may just be TDE or just the Tinashe treatment
- Tinashe aint no damn average artist nikka :ufdup:


But yeah man it's hard for attractive black females to break into the upper tier it seems. Makes you wonder what did Rihanna do so right?



She a habitual liar, a common trait among the smutted. Even the freckles is fake
Rihanna has/had HOV vote. Either that or sucked some cacs right? That's what the coli says right? Lmfao

I really dont know why yall nikkas hate on this girl so much.... Yall sound like some hoes.
Anyway she is nothing like Tinashe. The only similarity between Tinashe and SZA is they are both females, and that's where it ends.. Other than that, no similarities.

SZA has a strong female & male base.. she got the shae butter "woke" females, and the wanna-be different hipster females... she got the nikkas off the strength she is attractive. Also her music is dope (haven't heard her most recent shyt).

If anything I'd understand you comparing her to Janelle Monae... cause she's a lot of hype, and a lot of fake "woke" females listen to her... but the difference bewtween SZA and Janelle is... SZA got some dope songs... Janelle's music is TRASH. Everyone knows it, but for some reason nobody says it.

The writing is on the wall

-Sexy attractive girl
-Average artist
-Popularity pushed hard by their labels, not able to build a fanbase
-Has a majority male fanbase you all wanna fukk her
-Pushes her sexuality even more to get fans but it ends up not working






:snoop:



Still sexy as fukk though :takedat:
