No charisma in his rapping. That’s why he can’t break through.

Cordae sounds like hes reading his lyrics. Paak is packing him out off delieverly alone.

@ReedMySole Cordae has no character, no charisma to me. I’m sorry man

Rap God gave birth to the most insufferable form of music that’s arguably worse than mumble rap

@adameisey @makauly @RuncieDan @toujoursyucky That’s a Funk song lmao. This why I keep telling y’all Pop isn’t a genre.

@unavainapudin Skilled wordsmith, but nothing is cinematic about his lyrics.

[Charles MEANgus @theboogiecowboy]

You can’t run from preconceived notions of Blackness in a world that is still fundamentally antiblack. They have, are and will continue to exploit and erase whole swaths of Black art and cultural heritage and “our” artists are so devoid of good sense, they will gladly join them

[Charles MEANgus @theboogiecowboy]

“…free of any of those preconceived notions about Blackness” is how that Ravyn gal declared the intentions of her recent album and those are words I don’t care to hear from any Black artist

Hip Hop journalism has been trash because you, the watcher, stopped being the reader. Literacy, or the lack thereof, is kicking your collective asses. You're thirstier for takes, beef, & conjecture vs. accepting opinion as the singular view it is, damning facts, & picking sides

[Lex Diamonds @LexDiamonds7__]

75% to 90% White suburbs & 15 to 25% Black mixed suburbs raised Black people run Black media.

[Lazy Bish @Procrastn8Thing]

@AnthonyGSupreme Feels like Black media has been taken over by ppl who didn’t really grown up within Black culture but rather observed it. Just scavenging headlines from random tweets.

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

It's been like this since the mid 2010's...Film, TV, mags, blogging, and even a portion of the music industry has been taken over by these dorks

Y’all just lie

[Sedgrick @ctrl_sedgrick]

Ain’t nobody running to ask Steve Lacy if he’s R&B? Frank Ocean can exist genreless. Hell, I thought it was tacky for Abel to throwaway the R&B label when his music involves it so much, yet nobody discourses him.

[Charles MEANgus @theboogiecowboy]

If it was artistic merit, you could just, yanno, make Innervision or SITKOL w/o all the junior high level commentary about the limitations of R&B. Imagine if Stevie kept doing this instead of truly expanding the harmonic language of R&B.

[Charles MEANgus @theboogiecowboy]

R&B: 🙍🏾‍♂️🙎🏾‍♀️🙍🏾‍♂️🙍🏿‍♂️🙎🏾‍♀️🙎🏾‍♀️🙍🏽‍♂️🙍🏿‍♂️🙍🏽‍♀️

Pop: 🙍‍♀️🙍‍♀️🙎‍♂️🙎‍♂️🙎🏽‍♀️🙎‍♂️🙎🏻‍♂️🙍🏻‍♀️🙍🏼‍♀️

I said a few months ago that “the truly rigid part of R&B has been a commercial one: its faces have largely remained Black.” Folks want a Pop designation for assimilationist commercial value, not its artistic merit.

[no @SincerelyOpal]

@EBONY A little bit of racial self esteem, some touching of grass, and a small grip on reality is needed with y’all. Yall don’t even do this for Black legends.
RIP Hayden though 💔

[Anthony @AnthonyGSupreme]

Fuck it, i'm Gen Z now...i'm closer to someone born in the late 90s than some born in any part of the 80's anyways. I don't wanna be associated with corny shit like this lol

[Wakandantechsupport @SkylerB97]

Problem is a lot of these quotes sound like the pop/alt acts have an issue being labeled "Black music"

[Lex Diamonds @LexDiamonds7__]

@bredfrm_ Unnecessary ass comments lmao. I remember when it got announced Juju was gonna be a LeBron athlete, he quote tweeted the tweet “Man I wished Nike would’ve started that Kobe line for women hoopers”. They really got a sickness when it comes to dude.

[Lex Diamonds @LexDiamonds7__]

@bredfrm_ guess who he a fan of & what age generation he from🤣🤣🤣

[Travonne Edwards @Travonne]

right message, wrong messenger
