Tinashe says "Black Community Doesn't Fully Accept" her

[Colicat]

If Drake made it with everything he had working aganst him, she has no excuse. Lol.

Faith made it
Keke Wyatt made it (even after being batshyt crazy)
Mariah Carey Made it

She is on Cassie's level .... neither of them bring much to the microphone

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

A decade ago you had Mya, Amerie, Ashanti, Cassie, etc... who couldn't sing a lick but got on purely on looks. I'm not seeing that too much now in urban music, at least not to the point where the music actually sells.

I think you made a mistake there chief...

adding on to the list. The one huge omission.
"black people don't accept mixed artists"
"it's only Beyoncé and Rihanna"

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Kind of an industry open-secret:
Beyonce and her team low-key been making sure she don't have any competition for a long ass time.
Wouldn't be surprised if Bey-hive was more than just avg chicks like it seems.

If you want proof: Keri Hilson's career. Dumb move to go after B tho. Nicki Minaj be doing the same shyt too.

Politics.

Tinashe was COMPETITION for BEYONCE?!?!

IN WHAT UNIVERSE

I’m a mixed woman

I see myself as a black woman

Either confusion or bullshyt running deep.

It really wasn't like this back in the early-mid 00s & the 90s

That's because them females actually had raw talent. Was nobody fukking with folks that couldn't really sing back then b. The broad actually got it easier now than then. All you have to do is have a hard ass beat and pretty face and she couldn't even succeed at that. Ain't our fault ol girl a failure. She thought enough black folks was gonna put her on a pedestal because she mixed. When all muthafukkas response was "When that hoe taking her clothes off?" "She not?" "Throw that shytty ass music the trash".
Yall keep thinking these mixed folks dont know they carry some privileges in the black community..

i dont think he was saying she specifically is competition, but that beyonce has removed all competition to get to the top of the hill that noone is willing to take a shot at her. it seemed like a lot of female artists were ok with the hierarchy, but i guess thats not the case

All these dude's making excuses. Her music is trash, whenever your music is trash we tend to notice the rest of your flaws. When your music is HOT we give a pass to all the bullshyt, why do you think Chris Brown is still accepted despite fukking up time after time?

The Reason there is only a Beyonce, Rihanna lane is because nobody else is innovating or adding to the game. But nope it's cuz she exotic which is bullshyt cuz women liked Amerie, Jhene Aiko etc.

Rihanna is talentless.

Please you don't have to be innovative to be at least given a chance.

She didn't say it was because she was mixed. The part of the article where she discusses being mixed is unrelated to the part about the industry.

 

[loyola llothta]

This video tells you all you need to know about her.

She REALLY wants a Grammy. That is what she said she is trying to GET.

Now replace "a Grammy" with white validation. She is doing this for white acceptance and validation and nothing else.

She don't give a fukk about black people. We never even knew who she was.

Word to joe budden

 

[Champagne Kudo]

To be honest

I didn't even know she was mixed

 

[kingofnyc]

She would've been huge 15-20 years ago

Them days is over

She need to get naked

why do people say shyt like this ; the sound from 15-20 years ago is damn near completely different

 

[jwonder]

So untrue. I mean isn't her dad more black and everybody else? He from the Motherland right? Has nothing to do with that. SHE JUST TOTALLY SUCKS. That's it. She's wack and tries way too hard. Everything is so extra and forced with her. C'mon she needs to just maybe teach choreography class or something. Musically she doesn't have it. I mean that is real bad because in 2017 music is horrible.

No she wouldn't have. That pop was dominated by white males and white women. Even with that. The music overall was better 20 years ago. Music is terrible now and she still can't make it.

Her sound is similar to Janet Jackson's wtf are you talking about

You mean like the numerous acts from back then who also can't make it now?

Usher just sold 20k or some shyt. Times are different
