When did the "JLo Booty" myth start and why did we allow it to continue?

[#1 pick]

And A slim body with an hourglass figure.

J Lo kinda started it.

Then the South stiked back with them souther strippers......

Social media blew up a few years after that....

And then it was truly over for natural looks. Now we got these build-a-bot thots as the norm.

I wouldn't say she started it. It was around for a long time in the Black community but it didn't become mainstream till J.Lo. I mean, Jessica Rabbit (cartoon) was when it first went mainstream. In the Black community, we always had it.

Yeah, but it was a cartoon. Outside of Pam Grier or a young Chaka Khan or a young Patti Labelle, there wasnt as much thick, hourglass shaped black women back then. It wss pretty faces and a slim body. Even the likes of Melyssa Ford as an analomy back them, and had the east coast dudes all when she came out in 98.

True, but in the late 90s, the likes of Ma$e, Cam'ron, and Black Rob were gassing up Latina Women like the best thing since sliced bread. That was when Hip Hop gotten real money and started wanting non-black women with fat asses from Hollywood. J Lo fit that prototype PERFECTLY......

It was self hate back then that made that J Lo stigma stick. A white looking Latina with a bubble butt and a "Spicy" mouth. A c00n brehs best dream.

It's not a coincidence that the rappers you named are NY based. They would be the ones in constant contact with the "JLo" types.

JLo got mainstream hype because white folks like to lean into "ethnic"/"urban" aesthetic but still not give way to black women. JLo was fair skinned enough that she was palatable to white society.

It's like how they'll chastise black boys for cornrows but be fine with it when Justin Timberlake adopts it.

 

[RARI_Godwind]

1.) It was exceptional, yet, acceptable to white people
2.) She was fukkin with Puff

 

[Stop_It_5]

Go watch Selena and see that scene in the front yard. Then come back here and apologize

First thing I thought of I'm also reminded of it everytime I'm going through channels and see her dude from the movie on Chicago P.D.

 

[zayk35]

Cacs allowed it and made her ass a phenomena. Black people always looked at her as having a nice ass, nothing more nothing less.

Low key, them street brehs back in the late 90s were undercover simps to Latina broads and even had skits on their albums, talking broken Spanish to Latina whores . NY just bowed down to them and cause a lot of brehs to have kids with "good hair" and lighter skin than them. Basically, a soft genocide of black people

Puffy just capitalized on that pheomonon.

 

[The Fade]

cornbread booty/small waist is the norm on southside atl and below

 

[Ol’Otis]

Jlo was thick since she was a Flygirl.

Jlo was fat

 

[Ya?]

It wasn’t no damn myth

Jlo was thick since she was a Flygirl...

When she started popping it was in the era of white women with flatasses or petite women were running hollywood.

Jlo was one of the pioneers of the phat ass movement that eventually spawned the Kardashians which helped pushed the fake ass/BBL wave we see in the media now.

Jlo eventually resented her assets (like a lot of hollyweird latinas) and went vegan or some shyt and lost it... she kinda getting it back but nah... the Cardi B’s, Kardashians, Nicki Minajs, etc., done took over

There were tons of BW with butts them so why her?

 

[Ya?]

Because it's what Black women are known for having so the media gave the title to a cac bytch instead

She became popular through DIddy before she became mainstream popular.

 

[Ya?]

I don’t understand why in a community where that aesthetic is common, JLO would be the one who would popularize it, that’s hilarious to me.

that’s like saying Eminem put rap on the map.
Guys just don’t want to admit she was a nonblack Latina and at the time her look was popular.

 

[Mr swag]

Asses were real
