wow thank you for the unexpected love! a reminder for me (& hopefully you) to shoot your shots and make lemonade❣️ came from a respectful and light-hearted place, of course. I’ll always be a fan of platforms that showcase artists and their work. love youuu x
@lidolmix@ivycarmen_ This clip is soooo hard to watch because it’s soooo draining being around people who aren’t comfortable with themselves and don’t understand they’re making everyone else uncomfortable. She wanted everyone to cater to her but no one had the capacity for themselves AND her
@evemmore They’ve had Teedra Moses perform— a one hit wonder. Kirk Franklin performed and played primarily his hits. Any opportunity you get to play a medley of songs, you always play your hits. Your critique is mute
@yepmax_ But none of this points to her being “innovative” or having any real influence. She’s included when discussing Kpop because you can clearly say “Tinashe inspired X.” The same can’t be said in western spaces. Again, this isn’t a jab at her it’s just… what things are
Tinashe makes great music, but she simply is just not that influential outside of Kpop jacking her style. Social media is not a real place and I genuinely cannot tell you the last time i heard a person go “play that new tinashe” out in the wild
there's something so strange when it comes to tinashe (and to a lesser extent, pinkpantheress) where people are so quick to reduce her innovation to existing in the context of a 'kpop blueprint' - might have something to do with a black woman making music that isn't R&B or rap
nothing is more frustrating than the “why isn’t [insert artist] bigger” conversations bc when you look at the marketing/PR strategy it’s all social media 😭 you should be at the opening of envelope if you’re releasing music and want to be “big”
@culture_coffin I said leave me alone because you immediately responded with an insult!!! Learn to be a fucking adult and then maybe people will want to have conversations with you — whether you agree or not
@culture_coffin we didn’t. but you need to be right on twitter because it’s the only place you matter. so heres the trophy you want. leave me alone now
@KachySZN rue got herself killed. the first rule of being a rat is not to tell anyone you’re a fucking rat. had she followed that one rule she would’ve been alive because Alamo would’ve never known
