Lizzo Says It's 'Hurtful' When Critics Say Her Music Is for White People: 'I Am a Black Woman'

They also shouldn’t be immune to criticism or people’s opinions either.

I keep hearing she’s talented but I keep seeing her strip down to almost nothing for attention. If her music speaks for herself, why resort to antics more befitting of Cardi B or Meg Stallion, who have to play up to a hyper sexual image to sell records?

Everyone fukked with Missy Elliott from day one, even when she crossed over to the mainstream because her music was that good. Black white, male female, she never had to resort to selling sex or ass out antics like Lizzo because her talent speaks for itself.

Her music is too formulaic and has no soul in it while trying to sound soulful, but I don't know why she's being singled out because she's definitely not alone. Most modern black music is white people music with a black face on it. It is some soulless, rhythmless hipsters pushing what's "hot"and which artist are "it" and that's a big reason why music is so stale today.

There is not enough raw organic talent and too many classically trained artist who follow a template to making music. You can't make soulful music doing things "by the numbers."

Read the comments in here, and tell me how the Coli is a pro black site.

This is fire.

Uh that's cool but Darius Rucker, a Black man, makes music for CACs just like her

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

 

[Striving For Greatness]

It is tho

 

[Claudex]

Why trip on that tho'? Isn't getting white appeal the main struggle?

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Who cares? If BP aren't the ones supporting her then, why does it matter? Trying to just cater to the BC will have your money stagnant.

 

[Rell84shots]

bytch got 0 hips to waist ratio. Just straight waist and broad shoulders.

 

[Fresh Prince of Evil]

I've seen this take and I'm not sure why Lizzo gets this response. What makes her music "white"?

 

[Roland Coltrane]

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

she can't


I thought that was obvious by now

This is fire.

No…but it was a nice try.
