Actually, I agree with you there. The presence of Black women in mainstream music and film has greatly decayed in the last twenty years. Also, a lot of talented people are being overlooked by kids that are choosing the flashy bullshyt that gets forced in their faces.It ain’t just that. I feel like there’s no real legends anymore. No women that’s really the standard. The main famous ones are put together. Where’s y’all Beyoncé? Halle? Crawford? Campbell? Roberts? Not they super dimes but they are legendary. Mariah? Whitney? Lopez? Nia? Names that I only have to give you one of them and you know.
ok you got IG hoes. We had video hoes. You got porn. We have the goat era of black women in that era. I won’t name names.
not to say there’s not plenty of pretty women. Like no shyt. But it’s like a group of random broads nobody really cares about, not talented, and will be gone in 3-4 years. Where’s all the black actresses? Where’s the Gina and Pam? Your Vivica, Bassett, Vanessa, Jada.
that’s why he picked Issa. He’s not talking bout broke bytches flying out on IG. Where are your heavyweights?
I think a few of the women mentioned in here really do have the beauty and talent to be heavy hitters, they just haven’t been given the chance.
Also, instagram and social media has ruined the mystique of celebrity. Celebs were great looking, charismatic, and talented in the past but they were also aided by crafted images and reserved demeanors. We didn’t really know them or their flaws, only an idealized version. That’s missing today.
