I'm sure I'll get negs :yeshrug:


- MJ circa Jackson 5 to Off the Wall is far superior to adult MJ. He was a better singer and more charismatic as child/young adult.

- R&B and Soul have been on a steady decline since the 90's when it started to cross over into the pop category

- The 2000's were the worst decade of rap. Crunk music was the lowest point.

- Martin was the last good Black television show.

- Empire and everything else Lee Daniels touches is trash.

- Most(not all) Black movies are repetitive and unimaginative. It's the same five or six stories with the same fifteen actresses and actors switched around. You have your slave movies, hood life movies, holiday/family friendly movies, romantic comedies, and immature Black man/scorned Black woman movie.

- A lot of our most Beloved actors and actresses haven't crossed over because they just aren't that talented, it's not just because their Black. Morris Chestnut and Nia Long are two that come to mind.

- Halle Berry doesn't deserve her Oscar. She's not a good actress and Monster's Ball is a trash film. I would rather a Black woman never won an Oscar than to have one for that role.

- Virtually every Award winning performance by Black actors and actresses are c00n roles. You're not winning anything unless your a joke/c00n, broken down, a slave, or immoral. I can think of no exception to that rule m. For instance, Denzel didn't win for Malcolm X or any other performance were he played a strong or proud Black man but he won for playing a slave and crooked cop. Morgan Freeman won for being a Black servant. Halle slept with a racist white man who killed her husband. Cuba and Whoopi were silly comic relief characters....

- You can add to the list

g-unit? LOX? dipset/max-b? neptunes/pharrell? FOH:camby:

GUnit was trash. Dipset was trash.

Only good from that era was Jay Z, Outkast, 2001, Clipse, Em, LOX, Missy Elliot, Timbaland and Neptunes.

I'll gladly take this era from the 2000s, lmao shyt only Outkast, and Neptunes and Timbo produced tracks sound good from that era...

There was truly some terrible music...
