In before black men are somehow inevitably blamed...

 

[I Really Mean It]

Who’s saying this?

 

[Back&4th]

But he had to go by the name Hootie to do it.

Thats what that Key and Peele skit was about.

Most of the comments in this thread is the problem. Why does anything black have to fit in a specific mold.

Who’s saying this?

Dummies on social media more than likely.

Then stop making music for Ellen.

She’s too talented for that goofy shyt anyway.

She need to be singing like Chaka.

While appearing on The Howard Stern Show earlier this week,

You literally can't make this up.

 

[jadillac]

But Every rapper is also making music for white ppl sooo

All cultures have parameters.

Black American culture does not respect pandering to white folk in any form despite what the television might make you believe.

Her music is cheesy but at the end of the day, she's not harming anyone.
Cac artists pander to or try to market their music to Black people all the time so what's wrong with Lizzo doing the opposite?

Plus in this day and age, we need more Black artists making family-friendly music so that our youth will also have these influences to look up to.
That is also where the money's at because Lizzo's music gets synced to a lot of advertisements.

Talented girl, but I just wanna hear her on a track where she straight sangin to a nikka soul

 

[Oatmeal]

Well she can always start funding black initiatives for music or other activities in predominantly black areas, use them folks money to lift your people


If I was a celebrity and had a yt fan base I'd be doing that covertly for years before anyone found out

 

[The Fade]

Glad she doing her think musically

Everyone else is jacking our 80’s and 90’s shyt right now

 

[NoirDynosaur]

She's a musical puppet with a white audience

And those are industrial strength puppet strings, because she's huge

In the 80's critics used to say the same about Whitney Houston
Saying how Whitney was too pop and not enough soul. Nikkas forgot Whitney is from Newark NJ that's pretty much the hood


She proved her critics wrong with that third album. The rest is history.

If Lizzo wants to stand out she can always collab with other black artists
