Why did black ppl universally agree that Halle Berry was the GOAT black woman in the 90's-00's?

It's because Halle was the baddest with the biggest profile.
Only other chicks that were on that level or near it during the 90's -early 00's was Janet Jackson. After that, in no particular order, you prolly got Tyra, Toni, Nia, Jada, and Vivica Fox to make up most of the top ten. Some of the randoms that nikkas are naming just weren't big enough stars to cross over and be the universal standard for most nikkas.

This.

I mean this really wasn't hard if you were conscious in the 90s.

Halle had the looks and status. Janet Jackson is the only other person you put in that conversation...

Sallie Richardson, Lela Rochon, and Kenya Moore were finer, but didn't have the resume.

Whitney and Mariah might have had the status, but didn't have the same level of unanimous recognition for beauty.

Well Halle was always bad but outside of Hollywood/media/internet I've rarely if ever heard her referred to as some unchallenged goat.

She might've been more famous/popular than most but she wasn't alone as far as straight sex appeal went.

I got it, but yea she was definitely put on a pedestal. Jada Pinkett was my personal preference.

Yooo...when them tiddles first came out in Swordfish...Halle went a minute without really doing nudity so in today’s climate that shyt would “break the internet.”

Overrated since Day 1.....and one of the most horrible actresses of our time..... :mjgrin:

I don't get people slamming her acting skills. She's no worse than Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale or any of the "a-list" white actresses out there getting $10 million a movie

She was bad but she is a head case ...you’d be surprised how many “bad bytches" are head cases....i read about her upbringing and it seems she got real daddy issues and her pops used to beat her moms so that could be the reasoning behind it i don't know...but she was great to look at


but my 90's queen will forever be Sade :banderas::noah:


You do know sade's prime was in the 80's right..:jbhmm:

Yeah, Halle was definitely the baddest

Tyra second

Honourable mention Nia Long and Stacey Dash

I forgot about Sali Richardson :takedat:

She had the best potential

Nia Long was one of the coldest....


But do you nikkas even REMEMBER prime Halle:gucci:

Halle was so fine that even now at 50 she looks better than most 20-30 year olds... then y’all dare to make this thread without a pic:gucci:
