‘Why The New Girls Can’t Sing’

[TM101]

Thecoli Dead Mike posters will hate because she’s asian

ya'll Bay Area guys keep trying to push this girl, but we dont care.

alot of todays music isn't based in traditional black soul/r&b/funk/blues/gospel type of music, it's based in generic pop music.

 

[Easy-E]

The worst example of artist development was

Dej Loaf performing Try Me on the Tonight Show becuz it was a hot song

That shyt was not for that crowd

 

[Vandelay]

No one trains anymore, no one goes through the years of process and practice, everything is digital, and looks are emphasized more than ability, talent, songwriting. Singers back in the day were a lot some ugly mothafukkas...but they could blow, dance, write, and control a crowd. Writing has always been a trivial toss up, but who's the last performer who debuted in the last 10 years who actually could dance and not simply shake their ass? Who could actually sing acapella?

shyts fukked.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Whispering ass hoes
Soulless ass black music

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Too much focus on looks. There's hundreds of Angie Stones and Adeles out there, singing back-up, scrapping by on open mic nights and doing wedding bands. People writing these articles need to keep it real.

That’s been an issue since the 90s

 

[Dontdoit3]

All I know is all these artists all sound the same now. I am unable to distinguish one from another. I have reached status.

 

[Wild self]

The black church foundation is it.

Yep

Once Church singers wasnt the spotlight for,black life in the mid 00s, along with the rise of autotune and Strip Club culture, it was a done deal for super-talented young singers.

@Dober Man put me on to this channel


And the nikkas can’t sing either

Bottom line: it lacks discipline and diligence

 

[Burned Verses]

Ashanti opened the flood gates

It's crazy because even the plants had talent...it might've been hacky or even bad, but they at least had "talent".

I'm trying not to be the old man criticizing shyt, but it's objectively bad. I feel confident in saying this because it takes absolutely no time to produce it.

 

[MasterThought]

Yep, we will never get another Barry White for example. A 40 year old outta shape crooner. Current industry would never put anything behind an artist like that.

Wendell B is the modern day Barry White:



Dude is pretty big in the underground southern soul scene but yea your right, an artist like that would never be mainstream today

Or Future when he performed 31 Days on Jimmy Fallon. When he said "She took a little E, I fukked and made her pee", I cringed so hard that I caught a hernia.

 

[The Fade]

The church and actual music practice were the foundation

This whisper singing and googoogaga singing over moody trap beats is corny

Bring back the flare, and bass lines and hard hitting drums. Vibe music is trash. Bring back the virtuosity
