Black Radio Is Sickening/Poisonous

[PhonZhi]

I GUARANTEE that if u went outside rite now and asked 10 ppl if they've ever heard of Robert Glasper MAYBE 1 would say yes.

Glasper won a Grammy for his last album. Somebody heard it...

At best, R&B has become an endangered genre that you'll have to look for the good stuff on your own that the radio and mainstream wont promote.

Shawty i dont mind if u dance on a pole, that dont make you a hoe. This is r&b in 2014 yall

The song is catchy, but Usher shouldn't be making songs like that. In fact, the love ballad is done in this era. No more Boyz II Men, just a bunch of ratchet nikkas making ratchet songs. Black folk got phased out of love, period.

 

[itsyoung!!]

I get the concept though sounds kinda like that August Alsina song which i fux with only thing Usher joint sounds

was gonna post this.. hes biting August Alsina hard..

Usher been a biter the past decade

 

[DIMES]

user has been wack post confessions

Miguel is 5X the artist of current Usher

nah miguel's music is too out there and low tempo. He's just a step above weeknd in how weird their production is. Miguel is nice as supporting voice to another artist's song. "Kaleidoscope dreams" was trash except for a few gems. He won't ever really "blow up".


usher is still a much better artist than miguel.

evidence of further degradation of our culture brehs

nikkas are tricking on hoes and making love songs about it. No more Marvin Gayes, just a bunch of lost nikkas singing.

Yeah, once T-Pain fell in love with a stripper, that was pretty much it for R&B

I'm just waiting for the inevitable gay R&B single to get pushed into mainstream radio then we can truly bury it

Modern day Auto Tuning and rapping mixed with R&B songs killed it. That was when black artists wanted to make that fast money and abandoned their hardcore audiences for promo. In the end, they lost everything. Now CACs are making legit good songs and nikkas looking talentless and dumb.

This is how they take over black cultures. Get the ones at the top in pocket, only sign off on garbage, then allow the white artists alone to release real shyt. Then history books only show the white artists.

Then little black girls grow up favoring the lyrics of the justin timberlakes over the ushers, Young black men liking the music of the... what's that fat white bytches name? oh yeah adele, the adeles over the black rnb artists making hoodrat anthems and "i love him cause he looks good and got money" records and that shyt transfers into dating habits

This is equivalent to gentrification, just replace land with music. They do it with everything we create. Same shyt happened to country music(black created), rock music(black created), techno(black created), even DJing— name the top 10 earning DJs around the world, all white. Skrillex and shyt. Clean off all the Graffitti in NY but banksy shyt get promoted. I'm tired of this shyt

COINTELPRO working like that?

 

[Wild self]

You do realize that this ignorant trash is PURPOSELY being pushed on us blacks right? Real r&b & positive rap with uplifting, motivating messages will NEVER get "pushed". The powers that be wants to keep us dumbed downed. And its working

Imagine someone like a young Boyz II Men making "End of the Road" in this day and age. They will get laughed off the stage and be replaced by ratchet ass Chris Brown hooks about "real nikkas" and CACs that sing about unbreakable love.

 

[Wild self]

Cot damn, we out here making songs to empower strippers and prostitutes?

Bu bu but she looks bad and she getting money. She wifey material

Wife up IG whores and porn sluts, brehs.

I gave up on hip hop a long time ago.

Most r&b currently is just hip hop with a nikka singing an extended hook. It's not real r&b. shyt is poisoning our community.

Black folks have been conditioned to embrace negativity. It's so demonic.

Yeah, R&B acts should not curse and make explicit songs about beating up the p*ssy. It ain't rap music. Problem is, too many black artists are conditioned to be money hungry and want to have that fast life that revolves the club, strip club, and the trap.

 

[Wild self]

I was searching old threads and @Christopher browns made a thread bout the effect glorifying strippers has had on r&b/hip hop.

The tricking era is
August Alsina's my nikka but this shyt here


shyt is the reason we got 17 & 18yo chicks on IG claiming to be models. When in fact all them chicks is slored getting tricked on.

And the only reason they continue is because nikkas encourage it and boost they ego.
I dont mind the pics
Whores just need to understand what they are...call a spade a spade

Where is that thread?

But the hell with these rich ass dudes making songs empowering sluts and hoes for?

bruh, this is USHER?

i heard this shyt on the radio awhile back and was by this simptastic, fukk shyt...my nikka Ursher tho?

and as all the dope r&b continues to be made by white people, we'll bytch and moan about culture vulturing and all that shyt. we doing it to ourselves.

We black folk hate accountability for long term actions.

In regards to this obsession with strippers, these bytches are not deep and that's why I love Migo's #HOH Record Of The Year "Freak No More" because that is all these strippers are about.

"Strippers do not go to college" - Chris Rock. Alsina says single mother in college like that bytch goes to Georgia Tech. FOH!

Strippers these days stay in the strip club, even when they over 40. That fast money is just too tempting for them to quit.

I made a post about this early this year.

There's been a influx of stipper anthems recently, I expected it from rap after Bands Make Her Dance but seeing r&B hop full speed on this





It's sad enough to see new nikkas on this but for old heads like Usher and Ne-yo to ride this wave smh

The strip club is the new church to the youth. People talking about "You don't have a social life unless you go to the club or strip club 2-3 times per week"

Because ANYTHING is disposable when it's free. That's what we've let music become. No time to let music marinate, no willingness to peep more positive shyt, and artists don't make it as much because no one rushes to buy it. It's less of a conspiracy and more us rejecting good healthy food like we used to as kids.

Better hope John Legend doesn't turn heel

I blame the mixtape era of rap and making these R&B nikkas drop too much material ON MIXTAPES. No R&B artist should be releasing mixtapes. It makes their music disposable and forgettable. Back in the day, most R&B artists can last 2-4 years between albums. Now, if it's over 15 months, people forget about you.

Ya, i first heard this song visiting Atlanta about a month ago. I figured it was some up and coming artist. I chuckled thinking "these ATL nikkas done loss their minds with this stripper lifestyle" but didn't think anything of it. I almost shed a tear when I learned it was actually usher, and a nationwide hit.


And not only is the subject matter repulsive and disgusting, the song is incredibly formulaic.

Usher's "Good Kisser" was good, but that new single with Juicy J is

The strip club culture and the overexposure of it killed black music.
