Mya: R&B Radio has Gotten Replaced by Trap - It Is What It Is
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- It's been almost 18 years since Mya released her first single "All About Me," and 12 studio albums later, she's still releasing projects independently while engineering her own music. The singer has shown off countless skills through her vocals and dance routines as well as going with the flow during last minute mishaps. In this interview, Mya recalls her DJ missing his flight and how she had to rely on her little editing knowledge to finish her "show tracks." While figuring out how to work on the other side of the mic, she says classes and practice helped her hone her new talent.
Watch the interview above.
no pullout list. she's from the era where women were naturally pretty without all the plastic. she's still prettier than half these build a body bitches out here now!
PREACH!
super facts
But where are the lies?????
Dammit !! ur right
Build a body.., lmfaoo "Build a bear"
Mannnnnnn I miss a good R&B station. Mya, Aaliyah, Janet, and TLC made my high school years. Nobodies comparing today.
Exactly 🙌🙌🙌
Facts
everything that's out today is garbage every body wanna mimic each other and not be different
Dallas TX does good with rnb so does a little rock Ark station I forgot tha name of the Arkansas one but 105.7 krnb Dallas TX is very good all rnb
The music landscape is completely different now compared to before. We have the Internet, UA-cam, download sites like ITunes, streaming sites like Spotify, EDM. Once EDM completely became the new sound and globalized pop music, urban music was never going to be the same. It had to adapt with trap and rappers like Lil Wayne and Kanye West and Drake and Future in order to stay commercially relevant, especially on network terrestrial radio, which is in general fighting for survival in an era of the Internet in general.
I miss Real R&B and I hope it comes back around. Everything today is hip hop influenced, there's no balance anywhere. Some day I hope something will change and we can get soul R&B, R&B groups and artists back. Bring that old thing back.
Ro James
Agreed
Willy Beeman oh yeah I'm definitely up on him!
The old school groups are back and making music. They aren't getting pushed by radio though. New Edition came out with a new song called for me and you. Tyrese's album was traditional R&B. Check out Evan Ross.
Jamar Hall I'm deeply up on those that are doing real R&B today, I'm just saying there is no balance and those that are doing real music like you said aren't getting the play they deserve. Back in the day artist did full R&B albums with not one rap feature. these days everything has to have a feature. Its like no one can do it on their own.
I love how poised and sophisticated she is. Very hard to come at her with just "SEX" talk when she is so poised. Some women you just can't do that with. She's one of them.
exactly
you'd be surprised....
The way she speaks is so clear and precise. A british accent would fit her so well because she speaks so meticulously. I could listen to her all day.
@@Go-Getter Exactly, people fall for the mascara
@@Go-Getter Spoken like a true fool who doesn't understand the word NO.
She looks like a glowing angel.
Luke James always has.
Real ones like her don't fall off
She's absolutely beautiful. completely flawless.
💯
Why? Because of her ridiculous overused makeup? Stupid.
+Yorel G. Your music is garbage. Give it up. A haterade stance won't help it.
***** Welcome to real music. It isn't mainstream. But I'll take that as a compliment.
Relax virgin she has make up on.
So glad to see she's embracing the new era while still talking about the good of the old. No bitterness towards new artists! Loves it.
Mya is one of the most articulate interviews from an artist I have seen. Well done!
I'd never pull out in a million years
she aint on flames fam her lipstick dnt match her top colour u kno thats a no go
+Tancredi Beats nigga what
+Tancredi Beats wtf you sound stupid...and clearly you don't do makeup
You'll learn one day when you're on papers with a crazy baby momma who you're stuck with since you went for looks instead of mindsets!!
oh I'd pull out but as soon as I get it together I'd go right back in
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!!! R&B is starting to fade away 😞
Yes, Mya is fine. Glad you all got that out the way...I'm more impressed by how intelligent she is.
I applaud Mya. She is such a classy and well articulated woman. I like that she admits her learning lessons in life as far as her career are concerned. She is still a fabulous artist almost 20 years later on the scene
dudes leaving nasty comments are the type thats in they 30's waking up in a twin size bed with wet stains in they underwear from having wet dreams and shit lmao
#DEADZONE!!!!!
I'm 20 & she make me so horny just looking at her thumbnail lol
Facts!!!😂😭😭😭
ayo quit putting my business out there like that
exactly that's all these trolls on here
A few years ago, I almost bumped right into her as she was walking out of a nearby Post Office. I immediately recognized her without any makeup and she was still just as beautiful without it. She has a very good vibe as well.
Bae! I love how she articulates her thoughts.
She hasn't aged, is very articulate and extremely talented.
A true Libra.... Love her!!! 💙💙💙
She is so damn classy. That makes her even sexier. The epitome of a LADY.
100
I thought the exact same thing
+dee 8o8 Well people are caught on images. She appears classy but being classy is linked with education and is a full-time habit.

Trap music is probably the most repetitive, lazy, and unimaginative form of popular music in history. No one tries to stand out anymore, they all use that same sound. It is so easy, and automated to make now. No quality control. I honestly don't understand how people can hear the same sounding crap all day everyday and still love it..But, to each is own.
No Brain Needed Music 😩✊
Imo trap hasn't been good for a while now. Jeezy, Gotti, Gucci, TI and others time has passed them. Young Scooter was pretty good but he has fell off and I thought the Migos were gonna carry it but what they're doing isn't authentic trap muzik. Plus one reason it sounds the same is because a lot of the pushed trap rappers are from the same parts of Atlanta and other parts of the south so they all have that same style. Then a lot of them put people they know on to help them out (even though they're trash) so its just getting worse. I do like Young Dolph though.
Finished on "Unforgiving" 😂😂
You hit it on the head. Every other song is so similar. Ugh!!
Music serves different purposes for different people over time. You think there won't be something even more lazy and repetitive that the people who like trap music now will complain about in 20 years? There will. There always is. Capitalism will just give people what their base, reptile brain really wants until we are all running around like animals again.
Damn! Mya is still beautiful. She looks the same way she did back in 1998. "Case Of The Ex" still bangs.
damn she hasn't aged at all
still looks cute huh
right
that's make up my dude, if you know anything about women.
Exactly makeup works wonders. Ud be amazed at how some of the prettiest women look without it.
EXACTLY, lol.
Not many women like Mya left in this world. Beyond her attractiveness, she incredibly intelligent with a great spirit.
what does intelligence have to do with swallowing nut
+Tyrone Biggums dead
Amazing how she is still so gorgeous, probably more beautiful than she was in the 90's. I can't wait to hear her new stuff, I always loved her voice.
Oh gosh...Mya. I forgot about you...... The childhood obsessions ARE COMING BACK!
Glad I'm not alone here. Haha.
Yup!!!!!!!
How you forget a classic beauty like MYA!! :)
She is still so beautiful. Inside and out. Her words and energy are so magnetic and strong. Such a gift to humanity ❤️
Intelligent
Stunning
Charming
Women!!!
best damned comment I've read! no racial madness - thanks Kev E on
da bof of em?
Can't sing for shit, didn't write any of her own music, was a no limit toss joint
blastercombo audio stfu mya can sang
@@georgepascual1 Coming from some project baby who can't even get near her and she's not even that famous. Count the miles on your mother, maybe you'd be more accurate.
Mya is educated, talented and business savy. All around beauty. The interviewer had no charisma at all.
She's really grown and learned so much. Keep up the great work girl! Beautiful as always. Love Elevation Suite is still my favorite ep from her.
I am so turned on by how smart she is.
a real woman
George G yes!
I am very glad that Mya has grown into such a respectable, intelligent woman. I grew up with her music and she is the one of the few ladies who is a good example of maturity for my generation. Much love and success, I will be picking up the ep's and album.
Mya is so beautiful and talented...AND Underrated!!
love this interview. hear her talk about going independent. she's very smart. glad to see her still doing music
What a breath of fresh air! She's so intelligent and this interview makes me miss 90s R&B.
beautiful and good head on her shoulders.
she does have good head...
+Based 98 lol yup
+the1nonlyjroc chatty patty
haha
ya'll need to chill lol!
All of us 90s brothers had a thing for Miss Mya, and still do!
This woman is aging very nicely.
She's a class act. Beautiful and intelligent, and an all round talent.
Hip Hop contributed to the demise of R&B
👀
I see what you mean, RnB is very Hip Hop influenced and vice versa!
You are absolutely right. Before R&B could coexist with Hip Hop but not anymore. I see more females reciting trap lyrics than R&B lyrics.
#Truth
+transcendentmuzic have been colonized already
mya blows beyonce right out the park! After all these years and still gorgeous! I had a crush on Mya since the 90's!
you're not the only one
truth
+Fabulous Divo DAMN YOU SOUND MAD ABOUT SOMEONES OPINION
Nah bruh she really not no where near as fine as Beyoncé 😂😂😂😂
Ybthadreadhead im.speaking facts fuck these trolls
A true lady - natural, intelligent, polite, pretty, creative. It's a shame women like her don't get the promotion they deserve these days.
Mya has grown so much, as an artist, a singer, a woman. Still one of the best dancers in the game, I would love to see her get a push, better than most of what's out there today.
Wow. She's just as if not more beautiful than she was back in the day. Incredibly talented too. Always been one of my favorite RnB singers. I hope her project does well.
Impressive. A creative artist with business savvy. That's what's up!
Love you Mya since long time I've grown to appreciate her over the years. Looking back she was cool. seeing how music is now she was a gem.
DAMN GIRL, YOU HAVE NICE LIPS.
Seems like the older she gets the more she looks like Sade
I still love her after all these years! She's a wonderful talent. Beautiful woman!
She's still SO FINE!!! 😍😍😍
Glad to see Mya again. She's grown very professional... Like she went back to college and back... Good for her.
She is the kind of beautiful that you just stare at and just say "wow"...
I think she's top 5 most gorgeous beautiful female artist ever! HER and Amerie are tied for #1 right now
facts
Dark Symphony You should really see Beyonce without any makeup she looks horrible.
"boy bye"
STOP THAT.....she ain't touchin Amerie!
Amerie is CRACKIN
She still looks super young and drop dead gorgeous! I just love listening to artists of the 90's on down speak on the differences from then to now. Brought back memories when she talked about CD singles and cassette singles (Cassingles). I still have both formats of her "All About Me" single. Going independent was a great move, but long overdue!
Mya knows her business, glad that is still making music. We need to see more educated women being highlighted.
yesss for a well-educated and well-spoken Black songtress interview * claps *
childhood crush along with kyla pratt, beyonce, and aaliyah 😏😏
Aaliyah ❤️❤️👌🏽
+1
Left eye smashes all of them!
No body beats Aaliyah
Kyla Pratt... Yeah boy!
I still buy her music, but it's a said it is what it is reality. Her music is still phya & I still sing along with her cause her talent is undeniable. So thank you Mya for everything you've done; "After Glow Show" is that melt down!!!
Never heard her speak, she sounds informed and intelligent, just as beautiful as she is. I remember when she came out, she still looks fine and has aged well. Her music has transitioned over the years trying to stay up on what is making it. Some of it good, some not so. But I hope she continues to stay active in the industry, much success Mya.
Keep releasing video segments like this.
The interviewee (Mya) is articulate, informative, and easy on the eyes.
looking like Sade
A few years ago ,when I had jury duty, the lady who did the organizing in the waiting area told me about celebrities she's seen summoned. One of the celebrities she mentioned was Mya. She said when Mya was there she checked in during roll call but no one recognized her because she was wearing a disguise
*row
lol crazy story
I can believe that from her. Mya always lays low lol
Mya is doing her control breathing technique, because her love is like "Whoa".... True story....
Genius
come again lol
Finally, a well spoken, intelligent, informed music artist.
One of the DMV's Finest right there and she speaks the truth! R and B radio has gone by the waysides and its been replaced with garbage. Where's the love songs or the great ballads of yesteryear?? She is completely right! Nowadays you gotta have a rapper on your song to be accepted? Crazy, but true. I love her by the way and black don't crack at all! She been in the game for almost 20 and still look good. Extreme good head on her shoulders!
stop listening to the radio. ballads never went away..
@@MarquesTheProducer yea everything is garbage know
She definitely deserves a full body angle.. 💯
and you knoooow daaaaaaaaaaaat lol
I have always liked her and this interview only fortifies that affection. Smart and talented woman.
"What made you decide go to the independent route" rough ass interviewer lmao
W
I just thought that lmaoooo
no smooth transition and unprofessional language. Mya was composed all the time.
Mya & Pharell use same facial crème to never age, still soo fine!
Nope there black you stupid asf
Kyle Wayne's calling Mya fine and you get weirdos coming out the woodwork with comments that make no sense, smh @ dumbasses
This is the most mature, pleasant, polite, sexy, unoffensive, safe, thoughtful, considerate, and professional way I've ever heard someone say:
"ALL THIS NEW SHIT FUCKING SUCKS."
You just spoke the realest truth .
Best interview from this channel in a long time. Love this young lady and her style. She makes ALL women look good.
Mya is beautiful. The warmth of her personality really shines in this interview.
R&B needs to make a comeback!
Trap music did take over.... I'ts sad though.........
Mya, My hometown honey! i support you every step of your musical journey! WASHINGTON DC Stand UP!!
It's sad cause the music business has changed so much...... it's so pathetic that the new upcoming artists like us that's trying to get our name out there and build a brand can't because of all this watered down pop shit they want to make everything into and don't even get me started on some of these "Rappers" they got out..... I say in the next 10 to 20 years, there will be more nicki minaj's and more Drakes killing the music scene.... no more R&B/soul, it will be strictly young kids on the come up with no material getting airplay ruining it for next generations and before you know it, there will be no more music labels left in business. I've counted 4 labels so far not even in business no more. Quincy jones already said there's no such thing as music industry. People aren't even buying CD's anymore. And I don't care that it's entertaining, what's entertaining is what is killing true talent, it's sad and pathetic how business works, they don't respect real talent.
truth
Ryan Bettencourt thanks....
So true
Thirty-five years ago, rapping wasn't really considered a talent then by the mainstream music industry either. The idea of what constitutes talent will always be subjective, except for if it sells.
RocStarr913 You got a good point, and damn 35 years ago, I wasn't even born yet, but I get what you're saying LOL
Imagine if Pharrell & Chad had produced an entire album for her, shit would have been legendary Mya x The Neptunes !!!!!
Fresco Stevens or timbland
Basically what she probably was missing. Female artist back then had that signature producer.
Brandy- Darkchild
Aaliyah- Timbaland
TLC-Dallas Austin
Kelis- The Neptunes
@@NYCKZ360 also Amerie had Rich Harrison 🙂
I would say grace before I ate it.
Hahahahah
Lmao!!! Real shit!!!😂😂😂💯👌🏾
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amen. You def have to thank God if you get the opportunity to eat it
+James Brown but aren't you supposed to marry her first? lol
I'm gone need you fools to act like respectful men & cut the nasty comments out about not pulling out 🙄🙄🙄🙄 fuckers lol. She's gorgeous respect the lady.
I def wouldnt pull out
Men saying they wouldn't pull out is a complement. Men expressing that they find her sexually desirable isn't disrespectfull, it's adult. There is a big difference.
Yolanda Moore you wouldn't want someone making these comments about your mom/ girlfriend bc it's disrespectful
she's come a long way and listening to her, you can tell she's a lot wiser and matured
Let's support her music.
This women gets better with time.
Wow! Mya is very well spoken. I never knew much about her but always had a crush on her growing up in the 90s lol
she is gorgeous
Man this woman had me mesmerized...
me too.
Did you mean *mesmerized*?
Lol that too!
Spizzmattic I just peeped it that, damn auto correct don't work when you need it..
Loved her since I was 6 in '98
My a is still one of my all time favorite artist. Smart, beautiful, intelligent, real. Great interview. 💓 mya
I appreciate natural beauty and she from the 90's!
So underrated in the fine as a mutha fucka conversation. She's nice too.
Mya is so goddamn BEAUTIFUL.
Mya still got it now and forever salute to her
I'm so obsessed wit her now 😍 I really hope she makes and gets her career back on track 💯
Is she a vegan? That would explain why she hasn't aged! Flawless😍
Classy lady!
She is so smart, and business-savvy, she's on top of her business!On top of that she's VERY Beautiful, and super multi-talented.I love hearing intelligent and artistic people talk. So intriguing and interesting.
Glad too see you.Ms.Mya.nice interview..you speak very well..hurry up & make & album..pls..Miss Uuuuuuuuuuuu😇💕💞💘🙌
Still beautiful. Doesn't look 36.
dudes on here calling her pretty but still being disrespectful at the same time by talking about her sexually like she's an object and not a woman..
We don't mean anything by it you must remember that not too long ago men were only concerned with sex and smashing a guys face in with an ax.(The only thing that changed is we're slightly more civilized now.)
When chicks chase dudes that have more objects than other guys then you will have guys that will view females as another object. Sexuality isn't viewed as an act to an emotional bond to a divine intimate level after a proper courting process but as an emotional weapon of manipulation, to get more objects. These dudes shouldn't disrespect women like that.
So fuckin what..take that feminist bullshit to another page bitch...we savages..lol...girls are the same fuckin way ..but swear they aren't
+AnbusKi more civilized now??!!...this the most violent the world has ever been..the hell you talking about?...people die EVERYDAY for NO reason...I don't know where you live but you better read a paper or watch some news
+duhGOD so ignorant. Why are you insulting someone that's just pointing out the lack of respect women get? Oh I forgot there's a lot of immature dummies subscribed to vladtv
One of the best interviews I've seen. That independent move gave her a lot of wisdom on the industry.
I could listen to her talk all day, so well spoken, making true valid points
she seems like such a sweetheart
Still stunning !
I haven't seen Mya in a while so when the video started playing I was lost in her beauty. I had to replay the first 5 minutes because I wasn't paying attention to anything she said. True story.
omfggg when i saw this woman in person i was star struck .. met so many other ones but SHE had me star struck.. straight gorgeous..lawd
