Why do people pretend John Legend isn’t trash? :jbhmm:

[606onit]

Brian McKnight has ZERO Grammies?
That dude is a staple in the R&B genre
It's cuz John Legend was handpicked to be the halfbreed who goes along to get along, and he doenst threaten white men. They can stand/endure looking at him more than a full-Black man. Pretty simple.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

The following is his classic song as far as the hood is concerned........

So that song would get the same or a better reaction at a family reunion/cookout as this?

 

[Standing on business]

His song on the about last night soundtrack

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Because he wasn’t always trash. He became trash when he got with chrissy

So he wasn’t bland and soulless on his first album?

Jon B gets the Melanoid pass (at cookouts only, white boy ). Imma school him in dominos then split a 40 wit em...with John Legend, I'd feel like I have to change my cadence and voice with him and his YouBuyNow wife at my cookout.

JL was a victim of the wig push-backer

He's far from trash. One of the best R&B albums to come out in recent time. Don't care about it's popularity...this album from front to back is perfection. I think y'all need to go back and listen to it. The piano is one of his strengths; most of the songs on here play to that strength, instead of putting him on Hip Hop beats

One of the (many) highlights from this album




He hasn't put out a bad album, honestly.

 

[606onit]

he makes R&B music for people of African descent who left Texas/Alabama/Mississippi - fleeing tyrannical White Supremacy - and went west to San Francisco/Oakland.....but then that go too nikkarish so they high-tailed it to Portland/Seattle since the weather allowed them to wear turtlenecks and sip on luke-warm coffees without having to see any of the SOBxRBE ancestors everyday.

Short story. Ledisi and John Legend did a song together on the movie Selma which was a rendition of Mahalia Jackson's "Take My Hand, Precious Lord". Now instead of Ledisi and John Legend performing that onstage, Beyonce stole the performance from Ledisi. John Legend knew and even performed the song with Beyonce at the Grammys. Unfortunately, Ledisi found out at the Grammys in her seat with everyone else. So Beyonce and John Legend stole from Ledisi, stole her shine (and chance to be seen on a national stage), and embarrassed the shyt out of her on national tv. John Legend didn't even have the balls to tell Ledisi ahead of time or even fight for Ledisi to be onstage with Beyonce.

Oh hell fukkin' naw. He did my bae Ledisi dirty


And Beyonce with her tic tac needin' add. fukk that bytch for that Bow Down song she put out.

He just looks like a typical light skinned black dude

nikka should've won at least for "Anytime".

Not talking about his politics nor his wife, just musically.

1) What’s his staple song? When I say staple I mean what’s his “in da club” “lose yourself”, “Jesus walks”

2) I’ve NEVER heard anybody get excited or eagerly anticipate his albums announcements or releases not even women

3) His album sales are respectable, but honestly I don’t fully believe them. I’ve just never heard people playing his music or talking about his projects

For somebody with 10 Grammys (Brian McKnight has 0), seen as the face of male rnb, movie roles and top billing everywhere he goes - his music just doesn’t match any of this

... Ordinary People, of course
