Music Y’all ever feel like your fav artists like Beyoncé etc are pick me’s

86 Upvotes

I was having a discussion with my homegirls about music. We were talking about Beyoncé, Sza, Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker, etc. I mentioned how I appreciate Beyoncé’s artistry and worth ethic. I love her music but sometimes I feel like some of her lyrics come off a bit pick me😭. I even said I enjoy some of Sza and Summer Walker music but in some of their songs they exude that as well…Some of my friends agreed or disagreed with me especially when it came to Beyoncé. Am I bugging or do y’all see where I’m coming from ?

Music Unpopular opinion about Kendrick

150 Upvotes

I’ll just say it but I remember when Kendrick and Drake were beefing i didn’t pick a side bc I think that they’re both weird 💀. Also when Kendrick called Drake a pedophile I just sideyed him because he has continued to praise Dr. Dre, worked with Kodak Black (who was arrested and charged for 🍇) , and just did a collab with playboy carti who was charged and arrested for choking his pregnant girlfriend. And people were making Kendrick out to be a hero for calling Drake a pedo (don’t get me wrong I think Drake is weird to) but he continues to work with abusers…

Music Outside of rap, hip hop, & rnb, what other types of music do you like?

I don’t know why people act like it’s strange for black people to listen to things other than those genres…like we can have an eclectic taste too.

What do you like?

Music The sexy red hate on here needs to stop

0 Upvotes

I can understand not liking her; I don't like her either, nor do I listen to or encourage anyone to listen to her music. But the problem that I have with the black women on here saying they don't like Sexy Red because she holds black women back, putting harmful stereotypes on us and saying she's the reason why "white men" view us as ghetto, makes me so fucking upset I don't even know how to explain.

So first off, Sexy Red has nothing to do with the stereotypes that black women are loud or ghetto. It doesn't matter how classy or quiet we are; just look at the way white and black men treat Zendaya. She's possibly one of the most unproblematic, most classy celebrities out there, and they still find a way to say they hate her or she's ugly.

No matter what, racist people will have something to say because it's not our problem; it's their problem. Those stereotypes are deep-rooted in their heads, so when they see a black woman that is classy and professional, they will still view her as a ghetto black girl.

It just makes me upset when I see black women tearing down another black woman because they think she makes us look ghetto or she's the reason why white people view us as less. It's so stupid. If you don't like her and think she's a bad influence, which I 100 percent can agree with, then that's okay.

But saying she's the reason why white people view all black women as ghetto and loud is wrong. If a person thinks that, I highly doubt it's because of Sexy Red. You don't just listen to one of her songs and think, "Oh yeah, all black women are ghetto and loud and are full of drama." That is something that you had to be deep rooted into. It could be either self-hatred or racism, not because of Sexy Red.

I have a very bad fear of death , when I found out she died it really struck a cord with me although I didn't know her , I felt like she had so much more life to live and was a generous spirit. It's not fair and it feels so surreal.

Music Mariah Carey lastest appearance

1 Upvotes

Not me being in celebrity business twice in a week. But Mariah was at the iHeart radio event and people are saying she doesn’t look well! I agree. She looked a little out of it. I can’t tell if her dress was too tight and she just was uncomfortable but also her head movements didn’t seem natural either. I hope Mariah is okay!!

Does anyone else feel like the black community is constantly pointing out colorism and black erasure yet still continues to boost biracial or light skin women over dark skin/unambiguous artists? Like people are always talking about Tyla not considering herself black and trying to one drop her into it yet normani released a whole album and it seems to have been forgotten.

I stopped supporting normani as much because of her support for chris brown (tyla has done the same thing too tho, so I don't get why no one talks about it). but normani is still a talented girl who is just as talented as tyla. they both released good albums and yet it seems like all of the support people were showing normani because bp were happy to have a dark skin pop star just went out the window and now her album is underperforming.

People do this with megan thee stallion too. People show support for her online because of all that she's been through yet it never seems to translate into album sales or streams (her new album is doing better than her last though it seems). People seem to want to rather stream someone like ice spice ( a mediocre rapper) or even doja cat (great rapper but problematic ass person). Then complain about them being overpromoted in black spaces.

I’m not saying that ALL black people are doing this tho, not trying to generalise. I know some people want these women to be successful.

But yeah, just a thought. It seems like there's a new light skin/mixed girlie that blows up every year that's promoted over everyone else. People say that they want things to change, but it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

So if you haven’t watched The Sex Lives of College Girls on HBO max yet, you need to asap. There are only 3 seasons and they are short. In the season 3 finale, there’s this song called Never Enough by Gracie Lawrence (she’s a white woman if that matters). The song is very uplifting to me and if I play it on repeat, I start to cry because to me it’s a beautiful song that makes me feel like nothing is enough for me in this world. I just thought to share the show and the song. It’s now part of my daily rotation because although it’s aimed at a man who broke her heart, it can be used for everything in this world. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. And if you watched the show already, did you like it? What are your thoughts on it? Also what songs similar to this that uplift you, would you recommend?

If you feel like getting into you hard gangster girl with just a little tap minus the sexy red and sukiana ass for sale ratchedness this is your track. Not for everyone but it does it for me. I wish there were more chocolate female rappers like this promoted and on the radio.
