VIDEO: BRUNO MARS x CARDI B - FINESSE REMIX

[Gravity]

Wow... nikkas legit mad tho' with the aggressive language.

I'm not dumbed down in the first place, let alone staying dumbed down... but I'm also not on here smart-dumbing like a MF. So while you're on here tryin' to play woker-than-thou, who are some of your favorite highly intelligent black artists currently making brainy music that we should be enjoying instead? Enlighten me, sir. I wanna know!

Not mad at all but you need to check that dismissive tone because it’s disrespectful. You don’t have to agree with me but I’m damn sure allowed to express how I feel just like you are. You’re coming st me on some “just shut up and enjoy the song or keep it moving if you don’t” shyt and that’s unnecessarily confrontational.

You’re still being sassy and disrespectful bruh. It’s cool that you don’t appreciate my perspective but there’s no need to get all passive aggressively cute about it. Either dignify my position with a real response or take your fakkit ass and go dance in the mirror to the song.

 

[SAJ!!]

One thing I learned a long time ago, no matter how good a song is, be it R&B or hip-hop, folks will never be happy and will always find something to complain about.

It is what it is.

 

[The God Poster]

Offset?

Ain't listen yet..I assume he talking bout Bruno.

WAtching the Bruno Mars video will actually give you a greater appreciation for this song. Same 90s vibe. Bruno's record is more fun and Cardi's verse is great. But damn Mack should have had a hit

This my song....def should have been bigger.

Poor marketing & his 2nd joint ain't hit as hard.

Women are gonna talk about whatever's popular, what are you really saying? What I'm saying is that females are typically only casual fans of hip hop. They're not "core" fans. Cardi is hot so that's what they're talking about, but when Cardi is no longer hot, they'll shift their fandom elsewhere. There's a reason why there's only ever 1 hot rap bytch at a time.

I told this chick I wanted to go to a 8Ball & MJG show the other month and she said, "for what? they aint even got no songs out." That's the mentality of the average female music fan (especially one that likes Cardi B's funky ass)

You stereotyping. I know females that's highly into music. I know girls that watch battle rap.

Cardi is a female MC, mostly females are gonna be bumping her shyt. So what's your point? She's no different from the female rappers that came out before her. Right now she got the juice it is what it is. I think there's room for Cardi and Nicki, and other female MC's to eat at a smaller scale and in different lanes.

Aight man... I see you ain't name those artists tho'...

Point is, you took what I said and turned it into "so we're supposed to accept what AMERIKKKA is doing to us?!!" Nah, we're not breh. Let's go to the labels and stop them from pushing an artist that's sellin' records. Because whether it's him, or a black rapper, or a white rapper, or a group of little kids... aint nobody on the Coli preventin' that shyt. That's just the reality. Music comes out, you got the option to listen to it, or not listen to it. Or better yet, people got the option to actually buy or not buy. The problem with most people who complain about the artists these labels are pushing- are they buyin' the MFs they DO like? Usually NOT. So no matter who it is- even if it's black artists getting the same push from these labels- most MFs gonna complain anyway because it ain't who THEY think it should be. Seen it a million times. Just so happens that on THIS day, the targets of this anguish are Bruno Mars and Cardi B. It'll be someone else in six months, hold tight.

when that soca smash drop for carnival season¿*

You already know thats coming. Cardi background allows her to tap multiple genres of the diaspora from the latin Carribbean to the West Indies.

We all know singing doesn't matter these days. It's all about image. I was speaking more on dancing standpoint. And if we're talking singing r&b and dancing Chris Brown still better than Bruno ever can be and he's still not as successful/popular as Bruno even at his peak.

Cant agree with this at all. Vocal talent absolutely does matter to me. I grew up on 90's R&B and 70's-80's Quiet Storm R&B by way of my parents. If you cannot sing, I cannot be a fan.

This argument does not work at all for Christopher Maurice Brown. Back when he first came on the scene he was huge, people were saying he'd be the next Michael Jackson. He was already crossing over, he had a Doublemint commercial for Christ's sake. I thought he was adorable and enjoyed his music. Then the Rihanna incident happened, and the following recurring bouts of idiotic antics has ensued for damn near the next decade. Not to mention the quality of his music has declined, his R&B becoming cookie cutter and vulgar. Sorry, from a grown woman's POV, I find nothing sexy hearing my R&B singers ranting about women being nothing but b*tches and h*es. I don't want to hear them singing the word "p*ssy." Sorry, Marvin Gaye would NEVA!

Not to mention he's a perpetual child emotionally and he will probably never fully grow into a man. I just can't listen to him and take him seriously when it comes to mature, adult subjects. Only thing he has over Bruno Mars is dancing.

When Chris Brown can make something as grown and sexy, and as clever, as "Calling All My Lovelies," then call me. He'd have to grow up to do it though, so I won't hold my breath.

Marvin Gaye made a song called Sanctified p*ssy, which he later re-named Sanctified Lady out of respect for his mother.



But I see your point.

 

[SirBiatch]

Bruno is much better than Chris Brown. Cmon y'all

But this convo raises an interesting question: who are Black singers doing semi-mature, funky RnB?

 

[daboywonder2002]

Why is r and b and hip hop the only genre I see complaining about its current state of music. I don't hear gospel fans saying Why are the labels supporting him and not this artist? YOu dont hear country fans saying Why is she getting a push and not this artist?

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Not a big Bruno Mars fan but the song is cool...video was really done well

Cardi B can't lose

He made the right choice.

 

[wire28]

Cardi is a star




Cardi is an African Queen

Bruno too?

Bruno Mars is better than Chris at just about everything besides dancing.

Chris has actually regressed as a performer & artist compared to what he used to be when he first came out.

 

[SAJ!!]

He made the right choice.

He had to. CBS wasn't going for it either.

And the funny part about this is that, according to his biography, Marvin tried to justify the song title by saying that if a James Bond film could be named Octop*ssy, he could name his song Sanctified p*ssy.
