I said this before but not verbatim. My issue is the industry wants R&B but not from black artists. Also at the same time not putting any energy towards black R&B. Bruno who style could be replicated by Chris Brown and even them young dudes who did the New Edition Movie especially the dude who played Johnny Gill, but they wont entertain it unless the message is destructive. I'm convinced that the Black Love element is part of the reason but thats my own conjecture. I watch Unsung weekly and the majority of artist covered are R&B artists who went platinum and gold and if those artists didnt cross over to white audience the label wouldnt promote their album and eventually dropped them.
She just dropped jewels on nggz like Nefertiti 
Iggy Azalea never got a pass for being 1 of T.I.'s artists or being managed by Roc Nation.
these fukking c00ns...
at cultural appropriation with pop music. Appropriation is in itself the very core of pop music and it doesn't take a round table discussion to dissect it. Sh!t, Black people appropriate from Black people and one only need to look at how watered down Hip Hop and R& B has become throughout the years as an example of Black on Black appropriation which eventually opens the doors for non-Black folks to swoop in like vultures and pick what's left of the carcases.
