I think black female music artists just ain't poppin like that for some reason (your guess is as good as mine). Of course we have Rihanna and Beyonce because they've already been here for a decade + but outside of that there's nothing. You might get a hot single or two from a new one every now and then like Sevyn Streeter and Tinashe but that's about it. Let's look at the current Hot 100 the only black female artists on it currently are Beyonce and Rihanna (surprise surprise), some new Canadian-Ethopian chick named Ruth B () and Dreezy (with a Jeremih feature and likely one hit wonder). Where as black male artists there's Drake, Desiigner, Kevin Gates, Jeremih, Bryson Tiller, Flo Rida, OT Genesis, Young Greatness, Future, Belly/TheWeeknd, Yo Gotti, Fetty Wap, MadeInTyo. That's 13 artists and notice they're all relatively newer artists that debuted within the last 5 years, none existed in the mainstream prior to 2009. This is a trend I've been noticing for years now.

You real af for this post.

I follow the music of a few black female artists and it's gut wrenching how little support they get outside of Beyonce and Rihanna. Sevyn, Tinashe, Abra, Kelala, Janelle Monae, Esperanza Spalding etc, it's hard to tell where their footholds are in this industry and a lot of their careers are hanging by a thread. It's crazy to me because females are supposed to be the biggest purchasers of music. I'm guessing the black female consumerbase is more concerned with image and only ride for the a-list mainstream acts. It's the only way I can make sense of artists like Nicki Minaj lapping these gals with real talent that make some legit good music and some push their generes/sound forward especially Tinashe, Esperanza and Abra.

Not to plug my thread, but I made a thread about this. I honestly think black males have grown to hate/not value the voice of black women thus they have stopped listening to them (growing up men listened to female artists) as well as young black females are growing up in the social media gossip blog reality show era where they are taught to attack other women and see women as a threat, therefore, they don't support these artists either, lastly, I think hip hop/HOH sentiment has killed r&b and it's harder for female artists to make ratchet hybrid songs like Chris brown etc

Bout to give the thread a read.

However I truthfully doubt the bolded. For starters black males are by and large raised by females and they are reason the likes of Dej Loaf and Young Ma have buzz. I mean one of the biggest singles of 2014 had a make believe butch rapping "I really hate nikkas, I'm a nazi" and they still supported.


nikkas just straight up don't buy music even the rappers young buls dikkride the hardest catching bricks. (Gucci, chief Keef etc) Furthermore I don't think young black dudes are checking for legit singer types at all. After all there are more than enough crooning ass rappers like Bryson, Drake and Tory doing numbers whereas legit singers like Anderson Paak or Jesse Boykins struggle to find a lane. Even established male RnB singers like Chris Breezy have to live off singles, their albums flopping too. Females fans have always been the backbone of rnb for as long as I remember and now there are only 2 artists that can count on that support. Hell rihanna is more pop anyway so maybe just one.

As for the ratchet hybrid music 2 On is the epitome of that and it did numbers but ruined tinashe's career in the process. Content wise Tinashe and Jhene Aiko are very similar however 2 On shifted her image away from "deep" soulful rnB to ratchet thot music and now Jhene is lapping her. Mila J is up next playing that same ratchet lane so we'll see if history repeats itself.

youre leaving out some of the more popular names breh. ive never even heard of some of these chicks. abra, kelala, esperanza? what do they sing and who are they signed to?

as far as tinashe goes, like I said before, shes the new Christina millian, she appeals more to horny guys(most of whom aren't interested in r&b) than she does to black females. shes gonna have to get into acting and keep the music dream going on the side, unless she can come up with a couple of ridiculously big songs.

ehh.

dudes follow the singles, but aside from the r&b heads, dudes don't be having r&b collections like that period. whether the singers are male or female.

guys rarely even buy female rap albums. its nothing new.

I don't like this move for her. I mean, I appreciate the eye candy but I don't like her dressing like this. I'm talking like I know her, but chit I prolly do. she probably posts here on the low. TINASHE, I WANT TO SEE YOU WIN!!!!

it reeks of desperation, and her looking like an innocent goofy while being dressed like a thot, just makes matters worse.

its that moment where you go from dudes wanting to romance & slow-dikk you, to the point where now dudes just want to smash and go on with their day.
