Tariq and Lil Nas X go back and forth over that gay azz video

[Lannister]

I don’t even like dudes music but I love how irrationality angry he makes some of you. The image of some 40 year old guy at home coming up with conspiracy theories on how Lil Nas X is gonna make all our kids gay through his videos is hilarious to me.

Whole thread is comedy to me.

Years of rappers promoting violence and debauchery with their music, making headlines beating and cheating on women, getting into gunfights, getting themselves and others killed.etc. and somehow this POP rapper is the fall of the Black race and detrimental to our image?

The Chicago drill/trap scene alone has spawned hundreds of dead Black youth, but this guy is the fall of our population?

Yep. On the low Youngboy is one of the hottest rappers out, but he doesn't do press so the machine doesn't fukk with him.

To prove a point Lil Uzi Vert is extremely popular and he's even "metrosexual" sells a ton of records yet no mainstream love.


Clout only works so long I predict when the average person sees the obvious push for him they'll be a backlash. The same already happened to H.E.R. and it's gonna happen to Meg the Stallion too. No one wants to feel like someone is being pushed to them.

Typical when things reach an industrial level and you tryna satisfy masses, the heads and CEOs of these labels wanna go with something tried and proven. That's the only reasoning I have for why they keep pushing industry plants. They wanna replicate a Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston etc. who'd be considered industry plants by today's standards.

To them, it's not functional trying to break artist based purely on who makes the highest quality art or who's pushing boundaries music wise. People, on a mass scale, typically like hearing what they already liked before.

I don't know about MJ being an Industry Plant, even if you want to say that Diana Ross put them on Micheal was the breakout artist in a group Jackie was pretty talented but no one talks about him.

Whitney wanted Mary J. Blige's career and never really crossed over to Black People. But even if what you say i true No one wants to feel like they are being marketed to (even though they are) Literally Black artists have lost support by trying too hard to crossover

The main point is if dudes are hating on him because he's gay lord knows he's getting support because he's gay. I've seen think pieces on The Root I've listened to gay shea butta dudes talk about him one thing I never heard them say This song slaps I'll admit the first trillion times I heard Old Town Road It was alright and catchy as hell but after than no one actually said Sonically this song is good. It's just like Meg's new album even the sheas were saying it's mid people openly clowned Body but she still got support because of the Tori thing.

shyt is unsustainable.

 

[Dak Pickscott]

so you rather stay in place where dudes fukking dudes is expected rather than be bailed out by someone who fukks dudes

I agree. It's one thing being an industry plant and the music is good. But people hate it even more if an industry plant is clearly an attempt to find something similar to something successful and the music is mid af a.l.a Rury and Andre 3000. Dude literally looked like he was doing his best 3Staks impression and it was insulting.

How is he targeting minors? Did you have an issue with over sexualized images being seen by minors before Lil Nas X?

He target is minors. All you gotta do is look at the color scheme off the visuals, and you can tell who it's being marketed to.

For the last time to you DUMB motherfukkers, when have you ever seen any articles praising a goddamn drill rapper as a role model for kids?
