    I hate how a lot of black women aren't considered popstars because of skin color and are instead categorized as hip-hop/r&b. And like listen those are my favorite genres but it is borderline racist to ALWAYS categorize black women there and not have more diversity like be in the pop space. Like why are white girls only allowed to be in the pop genre? Or white passing. There is absolutely no diversity. I wanna see more representation of all races and I especially wanna see black female artists get the flowers that they deserve. It really shouldn't be this complicated like it is straight up modern day segregation.

      Or or or let’s just accept that r&b means black music and accept it and do that. The weeknd is considered an r&b artist but he makes pop music 🤷🏽‍♂️ Michael jackson was r&b prince was r&b yet it was pop. We need to lean into it. Usher made pop music so did neyo but the core is r&b. Why do we care about being in their categories? The pop chart is their game its their playground. Let them have it. When black people accept this we can thrive again musically. The early 2000s we were r&b and thriving while justin timberlake and brittany spears were pop. Why do people get offended by being called r&b? R&b is a huge umbrella of music that includes a rick james just like it includes a james brown just like it includes a brandy just like it includes the dream and chris brown. Tricky stewart actually just said the same thing in a recent interview. Yall take offense to the title r&b for what? 😂 its r&b

I'm so proud of r&b and hip-hop and I genuinely believe those two are the best genres. But it *does* feel like modern day segregation like oh the artist is black so imma put them in this category even though it doesn't make sense for it to be there. You know what I mean

TTPD being #1 is great for her but it starts getting weird when 1. your own fans are complaining abt how you did it & 2. when the average person doesn't know any of the songs. that really makes one think like "how you number one and nobody besides your hardcore fans ever heard the songs"

    Ice Spice being the girl that blew up from being a meme and Sexy Red as the trashy girl never fails to frustrate me - if anyone deserved it, it's Cupcakke. You might find her sexual songs too much but her punchlines and lyricism are insane.
    On the topic of Azealia Banks - it's a shame that she managed to waste all of the momentum she had with 212 with her mouth, like she was meant to be featured on Gaga's album and very much on the up as a known commodity. And Broke with Expensive Taste is an outstanding album so the talent is there.

    I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but I believe that inclusivity towards black artists has gotten worse than better. Back in the 50s to the early 90s, a lot of the biggest artists were black. Whitney Houston, Aretha, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, James Brown, Mariah Carey, and soooo many more. And while we do have a lot of successful black artists now, it seems as though if they are not a rapper, they just don't get what they deserve (other than Beyonce, but she did start in the 90s...). It just seems that we are sidelining them way more than we used to.

    This one ain't about the artists, it's about the fans/consumers. For whatever reason, there is this idea that artists are like, employees of the fans and because "fans pay for the music" they should get a say in how the music is made, how the artist acts, or what they do next. (not like in a critique way, in a "make this happen or I stop being a fan" way). I fully disagree with that. You don't pay artist to continue making music that you want, you pay them for music/art that already exists. You're not hiring a contractor. The idea that we pay them and then they make what we want is wild to me and I think it's the reason so many ppl feel so entitled over their fans art/life.

    Your take on Brandy is very on the nose. Never Say Never is definitely a pop album, with R&B elements to it. While I’m happy that Brandy is getting her flowers in recent years (especially after she did the Verzuz with Monica), I still don’t think she’s appreciated enough. I mean, will we ever see another dark skin Black girl/woman reign as high as her in this lifetime??

    • @CamrynSuzanne

    Another unpopular opinion:
    The Clout Chasing era is the reason why the music industry is where its at. The general public made these people, who started off and blew up as memes and Instagram comedy people, were hyped up to think that they can make mediocre and downright, snobbish music to put out there. And, guess what, it goes viral. One person did it, then another, then another, and the cycled continued until that era died down. But as the result of that, these culture vulture people have made an example to others like "hey, this song isn't nowhere near the standard that the industry is looking for but hey I'm getting rich off of it so come take your slice". Now we have artists these days blowing up from mediocre talent and literally bring nothing to the table because they got a hit off a viral moment and now the GP are now getting tired of them. Y'all blew them up! So deal with it now.

    I think the issue with Taylor and her variants is also about how exploitative it feels of her fans. She has built this cult following and I used to be in the fandom so I know how competitive it can get with who is the biggest fan, so it just feels wrong. I know that people are free to make the choice not to buy any variants but I would feel a sense of guilt taking advantage of people's par asocial relationships in this way. I'm very interested in how many individual people have brought the album too considering it's a thing for her fans to buy 13 copies just of the standard edition so her numbers (while still very impressive ofc) may not necessarily be representative of her real impact. I think that's where people's frustration with her popularity comes from too; it feels more like something her most obsessive fans are trying to fabricate to be representative of the whole population than being genuine.

    Ice Spice and Sexxxy Red are def not good rappers, but they could have had so much better streams and longevity if they knew how to work the industry. For an example, someone like Cardi B, who soooo many people talked about how she wasn't that good, but she worked her rap beef and comparisons to Nicki so she was heavily talked about while starting out, but also she did the one thing that especially Ice Spice is not doing: Making connections with others in the industry. Ice had a few collabs sure, but she has managed to break all of those ties, and have those people (Nicki, Central C, Taylor, exc.) stop working with her, or outright dislike her, unlike Cardi, who did collabs and made friends with people like Megan, Dua, Glorilla, Migos, Maroon 5, and so many more. This allowed her to stay in the game and build a strong following, and gave her time to improv her craft without crashing and burning.

    I disagree with your stance on Chappell Roan, but I respect it. I understand she is not for everyone. She is to me, however, the most talented and interesting female pop artist in a while. Her vocals, lyrics and stage presence hit for me.
    I also believe Aaliyah and Beyoncé would have been able to coexist. Beyoncé would have become the artist and performer we know today. As for Aaliyah (I’m happy you said it, too), her career seemed to have been going in many directions. She could have stuck with music, but I believe she would have continued branching out in acting (I know she was supposed to star in Honey before she sadly passed away) and would have branched out into other business ventures, AND could have been a strong advocate in the me too movement.
    Rap and hip-hop need to be better. As a fan of that genre, the best songs in recent memory have all stemmed from beefs. While those can be fun to watch play out (unless it gets violent), I wish they would stop their bullshit and uplift each other. Some of the anger and disgust is valid, and I don’t understand why some fans defend some of their tomfoolery. As for the female rappers, if they would stop hating one another they could rule the world of rap and hip-hop. As for all the rappers, stop letting just anyone in.

    Couple of thoughts: 1) Brandy...was R&B. People underestimate how much radio impacted how artists were marketed in the 90s. She was played on R&B radio. If you went to a record store in the 90s, Brandy's albums would've been in the R&B section. That was an intentional decision by the label to put her there. The race convo notwithstanding, a lot of black artists were marketed as R&B. 2) Nicki being asked to give credit to Kim is not like female rappers after her being asked to kiss her ring. Nicki quite intentionally co-opted Kim's aesthetic on her come-up. Kim was her blueprint, to a large extent. Female rappers like Cardi B, Doja Cat, and Meg being asked to bow down to Nicki is really the result of her stans wanting everyone to pedestalize her the way they do. A young female rapper wearing wigs, dressing sexy, and rapping about sex things does not mean they are copying Nicki.

    And I’m also glad you discussed the Aaliyah/Beyoncé comparisons, because it never made any sense to me. Two totally different artists with different approaches to their art. And with Aaliyah’s untimely passing, we really don’t know what direction she could’ve went in for her career.

    Random thought about the Janet & madonna thing. Madonna was in trouble publicly with the Erotica era. She softened things up for bedtime stories era but she also released Human Nature where she addresses the backlash and says shes not sorry.
    Janet could not do this after the superbowl. She could not release a song like human nature as a response and it’s because she has so many things stacked up against her. Being a black woman and a Jackson. Still I can’t help but wonder how an unapologetic approach would sound from Janet in like some alternative world. 100% the media would tear her to shreds tho 💔

    As a singer I can say that people confuse appealing singing with healthy singing.
    Kelly sings with a more healthy technique than Adele. Adele’s voice sounds good but she’s had to get multiple vocal chord surgeries in her career whereas Kelly’s voice has gotten richer over time. A lot of that has to do with technique.
    Someone’s voice or tone can sound cool but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy or sustainable. I can imagine it’s similar in dance if someone is using unideal technique for tricks that might look cool but can cause injury if done wrong too much over time. Great singing has to include healthy singing otherwise you’re going to shorten your career unnecessarily.
    if we're talking a Versuz battle based on songs though, I would vote for Adele because I prefer her music. Kelly's pop-rock stuff isn't always for me. Both of them are getting washed by Jazmine Sullivan though.

    39:48. As a person with a Bachelor of Science in P.R., let me tell you one thing every company should know because it's a sure way to shoot yourself in the foot and piss people off: You can NEVER put something behind a paywall that was previously free.
    1. The backlash will be insane. It seems greedy and out-of-touch when we're in the middle of the worst recession in human history and the current global economy is in the shitter. The Watcher fiasco was a great case study on this.
    2. You will not make as much money as you are planning (Usually it's a loss). Point, blank, period.
    3. People will just pirate it. So fast it will make your head spin.
    4. Early reviewers are gonna either be stans or critics on UA-cam, which is not good for making money. The stans are going to buy the product anyways and the critics are going to be even more harsh since it costs money now when it previously didn't. People deciding whether or not to purchase will look to those UA-camrs and go, "fuck this, no thanks," poisoning the well so that no one drinks it.
    The incentive has to be something completely unique that a purchaser wouldn't otherwise get waiting for the album to drop on streaming. So albums and CDs before streaming? Sure, that's fine. Just know your stuff will be pirated. But making it DIGITALLY inaccessible so that you have to buy it before it comes out on streaming... I'd love to see that dumpster fire.

      2.)Yes for me Tyla I always saw her as a performer and in honesty I don’t think she can ever top water or do something as commercially in the states
      3.)Sabrina has worked so hard learned from her previous albums about what works for her and what doesn’t and I can’t wait to hear more from her. I honestly believe she’s the next Katy Perry.

    MJ's intention was to make an album filled with tracks for everyone, that's why Thriller feels all over the place, it does have some of his best songs ever (WBSS, Human Nature,TLIML, nope, not including BJ because next to the other three it's DEVOURED) as a moonwalker, I don't really go back to Thriller from start to finish album experience, I listen to some of the songs, but never fully exactly because it doesn't have an exact vibe to it, the variety indeed is what made it successful, which is great. Honestly, for me, Off The Wall and BAD are his best albums, solid from top to bottom, each with a certain vibe/story
    I do want to make an honorable mention to HIStory because that album was INSANE and so personal, the genre range, his vocal performance, how politically heavy and socially sensitive it is (About Us, Tabloid Junkie, Money, Earth Song, Little Susie, Come Together cover knowing all the story behind it) tracks addressing the 1993 allegations (This Time Around aka THE BIGGIE COLLAB LIKE?????, 2 Bad with Shaquille O'Neal, D.S with Slash, Stranger In Moscow) AND finally having a collab with Janet, he was doing it all and he was MAD big time! I always recommend people to listen that first, because it's probably the only time we got a true glimpse of MJ as a human and not as an icon.

How off-the-wall is often left out of the conversations of his best album because when you really listen back, it was a really great body of work. Maybe some people aren’t hip? I also thoroughly enjoyed the bad album as well. I would say that’s my third favorite. Also, because of this comment, I’m going to revisit history because I remember some of the tracks off the top of my head, but a lot of them are blurry to me, and it sounds like I should give it another listen!

Though, it has been an ongoing topic recently for critics to decide between OTW and Thriller as MJ's best album, so it's only time the public catches up.
      Please do revisit HIStory, such a gem of an album constantly overlooked, when it was very diverse in music genres, he went off writing, singing and even rapping, it was him at his most experimental/adventurous, I do hope it goes under a renaissance, because how come people are always talking and wondering about his thoughts, when he made an entire album exploring exactly that? like... he made a whole tea party with this album, also the diss tracks go absolutely crazy!

    As for Billie Eilish, It would be really cool for her to collaborate more with different producers from time to time, but why her music and sound are doing so well is because of their relationship. They understand eachother and can communicate comfortably, finneas isnt pushing his sound on her and she even helped produce a lot of her lastest album herself. If you listen to Finneas's music, it sounds very different from Billy's so I think it's something she has decided and inspired. Its also not like her music is stangnant, she has explored a lot of different sounds and genres, and she keeps evolving and both are getting better and better both musically and vocally through the years.
