Why Is Adele Getting Play on Hip-Hop Stations???

[Canada Goose]

Idc about her music, but i just watched the video 'hello' and it looked to me that the object of her affection was a black guy. A pawg that openly fukks with nikkas. Shes cool in my book.

Adele is married to a White dude IRL



This post has me This nikka is just because Adele has a breh as her object of affection in a music video.

This is the key and this is what people don't understand. Radio music changed in 1996 when Clinton administration passed the deregulation bill. It allowed large radio stations like clear channel to buy up tons of mom and pop radio stations throughout the country.

Black radio stations were bought up over night.

School em

Celine Dion wasnt gettin played on hip hop stations back in the day, and Adele's music aint no different than hers to me.

Also, I hate when you criticize Adele in a conversation and some Black c00n broad be like "aw naw, u cant be talkin bout Adele"


Damn, u wanna clean her bathroom and fluff her pillows n shyt?

People are still listening to the radio in 2016 instead of having your phone hooked up via AUX in the car

Breh, my headphone jack on my phone is fukked up, but i bring my big ass tablet with me when im rollin

I refuse to listen to the radio

celine dion has/had R&B rooted, music/songs






but the difference between her and Adele is Adele's stuff is bluesier.

Yeah, her shyt has a woe is me type vibe to it.

Adele' will NEVER make a song that could hold a candle to Celine's "My Heart Will Go On"

Same reason why Eminem was able to get play on rock stations and rap stations when he came out. Ie Whiteness.

Black people who like adele are sad as fukk to me.
Black people who claim people like Sam Smith and Adele do black music better need to get the fukk out of my face. Or say they do real R&B.
Black women who worship Adele come off as pathetic to me...when Adele is basically ripping y'all off. Shows how much black people value whiteness over their own...everything.

Yeah man.

It's a cycle, white people fund the industry, in essence telling everyone what is "hot." Most people aint got the interest nor time to search for artists outside of what they're being fed by these big companies... Thus believing whatever they're told. Heck same shyt happens with politics and every other form of media down to what is considered "attractive." Thus getting a bunch of color struck black folk, among other races who suffer from it.

I tell you man... People never cease to disappoint me with their obsession over the bleached ones.

I meant to post the article. It discusses how Adele's "Hello" ended up on R&B stations. Doesn't say anything about Hip Hop though:

Adele Says 'Hello' to Yet Another Format: R&B Radio | Billboard

"Hello" has already branched out beyond its original radio home genres (pop, adult pop, adult contemporary and adult alternative) by becoming a No. 1 hit, Adele's first, on both Dance Club Songs and Dance/Mix Show Airplay, but it's fairly common for ballads to scale those charts thanks to remixes.

For "Hello" to receive a warm welcome at R&B radio speaks more to the song's universal appeal, as well as its soulful sound.

New York's WBLS championed "Hello" with 27 spins during the tracking week ending Dec. 13. Operations manager Skip Dillard tells Billboard, "You're looking at one of those songs that touches the masses from the first listen. Adele has a sound coupled with songwriting skills that fits a variety of formats."

KMJQ Houston OM Terri Thomas concurs that Adele's "Hello" transcends format boundaries. "She tells a story through song that so many people can relate to. The fact that she delivers it like a classic R&B power ballad made it an easy decision for us to add it to our playlist."

Like I said, songs by white people that get played on "black" radio even going back to the 1970's, always have a clear, easily audible "black" sound. That's why David Bowie and Elton were on Soul train.

Black people like her music. Don't they add a different drumline to the hiphop version though? Teena Marie and Lisa Stansfield received the same attention when they were hot.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

doesn't she make R&B though? what exact genre is her music? pop? she basically makes soul music, not like the original soul singers but it's in that similar category. i don't even listen to her but that's what it sounds like to me

If anything, Adele makes music closer to early Soul music than what modern R&B produces.

Honestly I think we all know who Adele is Her album and that 'Hello' song were pushed harder than Star Wars in 2015. That poster is talking out of his ass talmbout people are getting her confused with Alessia Cara

you should do a review on Star wars and how they marketed a black lead only for him to be saved by a cave bytch then you should also see when that nerd called into Tariq show lied about how luke saved the death star to cover up how they made finn a bytch damn @Ziggiy could help
