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

[Stacker Pentecost]

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

fukk that Star Wars movie, I didn't see that shyt. Love John Boyega but I wasn't feeling the casting from the jump. The new way to pretend a cast is 'diverse' is to pair a Black man with a white woman, especially in speculative fiction, and ESPECIALLY to make the white woman seem stronger than the Black man. They did it with the Fantastic Four movie, they did it with Jessica Jones-although Jess Jones/Luke Cage is canon- now Star Wars. I've seen enough BM/WW pairings to last me a lifetime. They do that shyt so they can say, 'See, we have a Black AND a woman! What more do you want?!' Fred.

The thing is, especially on The Booth, when Black artists do what Adele is doing, they get criticized for it. Prime example, is Beyonce is often the scapegoat and the one whose thrown under the bus. Like Adele, Beyonce makes Pop power ballads that are highly successful, yet people overlook it and instead compare Adele to artists who don't make Pop power ballads. On here, Adele is compared to Jill Scott (which is actually an insult to Jill because she's far more versatile with her artistry), Jazmine Sullivan, and Chrisette Michele. Those women aren't out here making Pop power ballads or crossover music. On top of that, Adele is erroneously lumped into the R&B category on here. Alicia Keys and Beyonce are our equivalents to what Adele does. The crazy part about it is they are the ones who catch the most hate on here.

they did not even pair him up with her he got friendzone and to make it worst we got people saying he is gay for the guy at the start of the movie he saved... oh almost forgot a white man gave him the name finn because he did not have a name

 

[IllmaticDelta]

That's exactly the point i'm making.
When black people don't even know what our own genres sound like...

Like I said, alot of black people have skewed opinions on what "black" music sounds like because they don't have a full grasp on it's range. You got people trying to diss certain styles by calling it "EDM R&B" or "Electro Pop Rap" when we've been making and pioneering those sounds since the 70/80's

people call this "white music" when it's clearly R&B-Doo Wop based

Well when I mean pair I just mean they'll have a ww/bm as leads, not paired romantically... In F4 they had Michael B. Jordan play brother to some cac bytch, I was like HOW?! I did a vid on that shyt, too

whoa

Beyonce and Adele don't make anywhere near the same kind of music. Beyonce is rooted in modern R&B while Adele is rooted in R&B retro stylings from the 1960s w/ a dose of Blues. Alicia Keys stylistically is somewhere in the middle but she can't sing that good lol. Jill Scott is more sophisticated than Adele and is closer to Winehouse.

 

[MikeyC]

The same reason why she gets 13 pages in 24 hours on a Hip Hop messageboard.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

they still playing that same shytty song or does she have another hit????

 

[JustCKing]

Beyonce is rooted in modern R&B, but the songs I posted aren't R&B records. They get played on the same stations that play songs like "Hello" and R&B stations even play them.

 

[WuDatWuDat]

Because that pop-star drake disguises himself as hip hop and he fukked everything up.

You're taking an L for listening to the radio though

 

[Deutsche Bank]

Wait wait, y'all still think all them balling ass artists from back in the day were flying helicopters through the foyers of their Miami vacation homes off money from black fans?? We ain't got disposable income like that, goofies.

That was upper middle class crackers from the Bush years spending that money. Yeah, matey, they were fascinated with our shyt like we were animals in a zoo, so they spent the money, just like how sports was. We just fell for the shyt and got the wool pulled over our eyes lol.

Now cacs are like, "Okay, Marquavious and Lexus, that's enough. We get it, twerking and money. Alrighty then, throw on that Taylor Swift, Adele, and Skrillex!"

Fifty-something percent of this country makes less than $30 grand a year. Once you factor in rent, car note, utilities, and food, ain't nobody got no damn money to be supporting every new jerk off in orange dreads/hoodrat in 10lbs. of blonde weave who jumps up talking bout they can rap or sing.

That's why I be laughing my ass off when naive mateys be talking bout "cac alert". Cacs been the ones supporting our broke ass begging ass fronting ass artists since way back. Dudes spending so much money buying the shoes to go with the outfit to go to the show, they can't afford to go to the damn show.

Why the fukk else you think black artists are silent on social issues? Broke ass nikkas getting whacked out in the hood don't buy enough merch or tickets to shows to pay for a Netjets membership, ain't nobody bout to pander to them.

The writing was written on the wall for the hip hop format of hot 97 years ago.....when i heard FunkMaster Flex drop Lady Gaga "pokerface" and that group LMFAO "everyday im shuffling" in the mix



and keep in mind i said "HIP HOP FORMAT"..cause any of the of the OLD HEADS of NYC like myself remember when HOT 97 use to be a CHR (contemporary hit radio) pop station back before 1993 when Funk Flex got hired by this dude...the "FATHER OF HOT 97"....mr. steve smith of emmis broadcasting :

so as you can see.....THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES, and it has more to do with LACK OF BLACK OWNERSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT as opposed to CUTLURE AND MUSICAL TASTES.....



Chuck D. tried to warn us back in the 90's ....see this what comes along with Gentrification..your VOICE becomes "diversified"....


Only black radio station in the city
Programmed by a sucker in a suit
Slick back hair he don't even live here
Raps the number one pick so I draft it
I don't care about all the other demographics

They shyt on PE for spitting the truth

 

[Wild self]

That pic actually sickens me. Can yall even imagine the largest country music station in a market being hosted and programmed by a bunch of black people.?

Can yall imagine white people letting us dictate whats hot in country music and them taking our opinions seriously the way yall do with these white "hiphop journalists"?

Blame the black folk simping on non black features

 

[BK The Great]

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

at least it's not like the trash Rihanna was making with bytch Better Have My Money. this is why Adele got people listening to her shyt.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

at least it's not like the trash Rihanna was making with bytch Better Have My Money. this is why Adele got people listening to her shyt.

You got it all wrong breh...

I gurantee you if "HELLO" was sung by any of the neo soul singers we got right now such as Estelle or Lalah Hathaway or any woman of color for that matter

it wouldn't have GOT HALF THE ATTENTION that ADELE is getting............

we got THOUSANDS of BLACK SINGERS that WILL BLOW ADELE out the water when it comes to singing...

SHAME by TYRESE is one of the most soulful songs of the past few years..and HE CAN HARDLY EVEN GET IT PLAYED ON THESE SO CALLED "URBAN STATIONS" yet THEY WILL PLAY ADELE...

HOW DA FUKK ADELE GETS PLAYED ON POWER 105...yet TYRESE CANT'?!?!??!?

SEE WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS?

ADELE is the ELVIS IN DRAG for this generation....a WHITE WOMAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL STRONG SOULFUL voice.........

that's all these muthaphuking "talent shows" like AMERICAN IDOL and the VOICE been promoting....a WHITE PERSON with the VOICE OF A BLACK PERSON..

They find that EXTREMLY MARKETABLE.....same with finding a WHITE QUARTERBACK who could his monkey azz all over the field like a MIKE VICK or a CAM NEWTON...

Any reason to not deal with our black azzess...before it was we can "tolerate" the dancing singing NEGRO...but once the dancing singing negro starting getting $$$ in the game and challenging the status quo .....

it's like FUKK DA DANCING SINGING NEGRO....cause he or she don't wanna JIG for pennies no moe....

let's train our own (slim jesus, sam smith) to do what they naturally do...

Even though it's been several years since we've heard from Adele, "Hello" was SO worth the wait. The powerhouse ballad that is this track showcases her incredible vocals, accompanied by a somber piano melody, then building up with soft percussion. The emotional lyrics include, "Hello from the other side/I must've called a thousand times to tell you/I'm sorry, for everything that I've done/But when I call you never seem to be home."

About Adele's music video for "Hello"
Talk about making a comeback! Not only did Adele release her first new song since 2012's James Bond theme "Skyfall," but she's also giving us a music video for the new single.

The music video for "Hello" was filmed in the Montreal countryside, and was directed by Canada's own Xavier Dolan. The black and white clip finds Adele -- who looks STUNNING -- coming back to an old home where she used to live with a former love, as she reflects on the past and what brought them to their ultimate split. The visual definitely brings her powerful lyrics about trying to make up with someone she's broken up with to life.
