SZA is this generations Mary J Blidge according to the Breakfast Club

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

"she's one of the best that i've seen"

 

[Brandsdale]

my mom and aunties done bought Mary J Blidge albums back in the day too

these new hoes doing the breathy singing are gonna end up forgotten like the Disney+ marvel shows

Terrible comparison. It’s definitely Summer Walker.

Nope!
Summer is for the hood rats who don’t wanna admit they’re hood rats

 

[Iceson Beckford]

Nope!
Summer is for the hood rats who don’t wanna admit they’re hood rats

And who was MJB for? Upper class women?

 

[Ol’Otis]

And who was MJB for? Upper class women?

Upper echelon hood chicks

 

[BK The Great]

Negative. She’s good in her own way but she doesn’t have the standout classics Mary has.

Mary J 1992-2005:

 

[Jerz-2]

She's not on that Beyonce/Rihanna tier because she's not known like that globally. Her name isn't as big as theirs in that regard.

Like, that's a MAJOR tier. Old grandmothers in Sweden who don't even listen to Black music know who Beyonce and Rihanna are.

Also, this seems a bit disrespectful to Mary...she has hits spanning decades. SZA ain't got that.

SZA got her own lane, that should be enough.

Finally - and most importantly - why the hell are we listening to any position that The Breakfast Club takes? Aint there a whole thread CLOWNING Envy on here?

8 albums and a few of them are bonafide classics

Rihanna could also tour tomorrow and it would be sold out in hours. Thats her superstardom and her last album is from 2016

Sza is gonna struggle to sell an arena 10 years from now and only has 2 albums to show for it. I get Top fukked her over but a lot of what artists put out from 2020 onward gets lost in the mountains of shyt that comes out on streaming platforms.

sidenote: Its also a good thing Rihanna put out all them albums pre-streaming era. Most of those joints, people bought the physical copy and shyt like that is whats gonna help artists name in the long run. Tangible items>>>>>

I said musically not touring and all this other stuff you are talking about.

 

[Redwood]

she only has 2 albums

In this case, it's comparable to What's the 411? and My Life in their eyes

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

I like sza but no

 

[Ziggiy]

Upper echelon hood chicks

An Oxymoron if ever there was one

 

[Redwood]

An Oxymoron if ever there was one

Almost parallels with middle/upper class hoodrats

 

[ISO]

Sza and Summer are the epitome of the local hood rat

Neither are hood.

musically Rihanna is a better artist than SZA.

SZA hasn’t even came close to Rihanna’s atmosphere to even entertain that thought
