All i know is...

The Coli needs to learn the difference between sensuality and smut.

Its crazy that as soon as a female artist starts introducing more sexual elements into their profile, they're instantly demonized as sluts/selling sex.

Like....women like to be sexy and like to get fukked too brehs :manny:

Not to mention, female commercial artists are under pressure to CONSTANTLY reinvent themselves. Not only to stay relevant to their aging loyalists, but also to try and catch the newer generation of potential fans. This may come as a shocker but relating to the sexual maturation into womanhood is something women are into. As men Its something we cannot begin to fathom.

We do ourselves no favors of shedding the "we hate women with ANY SEXUAL AGENCY!!!" :birdman: label that hip hop forums have.

Especially since nikkas are quiet as church mice when "Ive been a rapper since i was 11" Lil wayne is rapping about hoping off the boat meeting "Papi "at the dock :martin:

You're jumping off the other end of the cliff with this one.

You had me on the first sentence but then I looked up and saw that this was a thread about SZA and tinashe. Not Badu or Sade :mjlol: I posted an verse from the song with kendrick in the thread. sad day when that is considered sensual

You're trying to beat the gender drum but female stars have been selling sex forever yet the over the top raunchy shyt has never been that well received with women. the successful ones kept it between the lines like beyonce, mariah, mary j, even rihanna to a lesser degree.

Jhene Aiko, Sevyn and Abra do sensual/sexy much better

Listened to a few songs from SZA album last night with my girl.

Don't you ever compare this trash to tinashe again.


SZA's music is mostly one note and the lyrics was just awful virtue singalling and not much else. It's like she just randomly mentions shyt to get people to prick up their ears and pay attention to her voice over the beat. "STARS! AQUARIAN! PATRIARCHY! NATURAL HAIR! YOGA! nikkaS AINT shyt! CRYSTALS! EAT THIS p*ssy!" This is why people say she's fake deep and it's true.

Doves In The Wind gotta be one of the worst non-Lil Yachty songs I heard this year

:hhh:These lyrics
[Verse 3: SZA]
You could never trivialize p*ssy
But a bum nikka like you would try it (p*ssy)
I know what you really 'bout
High key, your dikk is weak, buddy
It's only replaced by a rubber substitute

We ain't feelin' you
Think I caught a vibe, kinda feel a nikka
You could touch the booty if you like, I ain't trippin' on ya
(Such a nice girl, SZA)
I'm really tryna crack off that headboard
And bust it wide open for the right one
'Cause you that one
Yeah, you that one
Like doves in the wind, hey, hey
That p*ssy, like doves in the wind, hey, hey
p*ssy like doves in the wind

I will make you beg for it
I wanna see you call out

:hhh:It's not just the unattractive raunchiness, this shyt is really wack. Don't let Kendrick ghostwrite for no females, please.


I gotta say out of all the recent rnb girls to come out Jhene Aiko seems to be the only one who's being developed well by her label. They managed to portray her image as a intimate, soulful reclusive songbird well and it meshes with her sound well. And the contrast with her image makes delivery of raunchy lines more suprising or even cute compared to other artists.

Just thinking about it Tinashe or SZA couldn't have delivered the "eat the booty like groceries" and got the same reception Jhene did.

That may be it. I've met only 3 people who can confidently pronounce her name and 2 are only paying attention from this album run.


Oxymoron was his biggest push and it seemed to be received really well. However it just seems like nobody gives a fukk about Q himself. As a star he's pretty much in the same purgatory as 2chainz after his 2nd album till now.

Nobody cares about no Jay Rock, wayne got songs with everybody:russell:

Not really. I mean she was a pop artist primarily for most of her career. It didn't seem like people really got behind rihanna the person until the album where she had red hair after the Chris Brown incident.


If her career ended around the disturbia era she would just be the voice behind a bunch of forgettable hits. Like what made her pull so far ahead of Keri Hilson (proven hitmaker), Rita Ora and the like?





Jhene just dropped her single on Friday. Looks like she's in album mode now. Song has be getting a lot of love and being received well.

Clearly you're the deluded one. The album sold half of what Oxy did, had 0 hits and a WOAT Kanye feature. That shyt fukkin flopped what planet do you live on?

So now the grammys matter again? It ain't "cac opinions not for the culture?" Same Grammies that gave Hotling Bling rap song of the year right? Same award Views and DJ Khaled album was nominated for, right?
:umad:

What does Kehlani's fanbase consist of? I don't pay attention to her music.
Her music is actually pretty good, and she seems like a real down to earth hood chick.

Young Black and Brown girls fukk with her heavy and her shows are one of the few shows where the whole audience is filled with Brown and Black people thats very rare, if anyone has a shot of being the next big star its her.

I listened to the album and will keep it on rotation for a couple more weeks to really form an opinion on it but on first listen this sounds like a side chick memoir slutfest and early 20isms on woke with a dash of faux feminist thrown in so the heauxing seems to have a purpose in finding yourself.That's not to dismiss the subject matter,cause i think she is a amazing writer but limited by her own outlook on life at the moment.Personally i like to think that when women write about relationships in 2017 it has to have more dept to it then who fukked around first,how much he's going to miss that p*ssy when she decides to throw it somebody else's way or his lack of maturity that needs pointing out every 2 seconds by someone in the same sandbox obviously.I hope she shows growth on her next go round,first impression is that she is bandwagoning all of the above too much....and please no more fake freckles,that shyt is:usure::hhh::picard:

Jhene has dropped a lot songs in the past year or 2 trying to catch s buzz

Even tho she has a public relationship, is in demand for features and dropped a colab album with one of the biggest rappers in the mainstream she still suffers the same fate of all the other females like @dora_da_destroyer keeps talking about

Listened to her album the other day. Just wasn't good. She reminds of a D level Jhene Aiko Clone. That silly faux hotep deep nonsense. And she literally sings the same way on every song

She did say that TDE changed the whole sound of her album and went in a different direction when she was almost done

She didn't sound too happy or confident about the album in her interviews last week

Personally I like this album more than her old shyt

She has a few songs that have a chance to be good singles like Broken Clocks,The Weekend,and Garden

Sonically I hope she stays in this lane

Her subject matter will expand as she gets older and grows a little
