Quote"When it comes to black females, who are the people who get their music played on pop radio?" he said. "Mariah Carey, Rihanna, the female rapper Nicki Minaj, my kids (Beyonce and Solange), and what do they all have in common?"

Oh wow
he's outta touch cause the only girl getting radio play from that list is Rih LOLZ
I think we all know Beyonce's successful is not primarily due to her lighter skin :dead:
IF you read the whole segment that ain?t what he was saying. He was saying darker skin girls barely even get the chance. And he ain?t lying.
Yea, it wasn't shade. It's true. Lighter skinned black female artists seem to have it easier nowadays. But I blame the major labels, because they make the first step in who becomes the next superstar.
But it wasn't like that in 90s. We had Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Brandy, Foxy Brown.
Yea it?s unfortunate that this will become the headline but that?s just the way it is
I was gonna say he should be quiet but it?s not like this isn?t the reality. And he wasn?t being shady because he loves to take a lot of credit for her success, as he should.

He did if you read the full story and not just a snippet.
He said what he said and used examples of the girls that are or have been slaying the scene. You just looking for a mess when you can?t dispute what he said.
he spoke the truth but because its coming from matthew, ppl will have a problem with it.
But the only one played on Pop radio is Rih. :unsure:
And it?s his fault Bey runs a monopoly as far as far as overall culture if that?s what he meant. It?s difficult for ANY new black girl to succeed..
Is he lying tho?

well, it is possible that it's harder for the darker girls to break through with people like you seeing dark skin and automatically thinking they "look bad as hell"

He's not lying. People are having real convo's it seems.
No shade but that's why I rolled my eyes at Nicki when she started crying about white privilege and mess.
She clearly plays up her racial ambiguity to her advantage. "Mixed with China!" and mess. What about girls who aren't perceived to be mixed or appear to be ambiguous.

But at the same time 'fas is immensely talented and works HARD.
rihanna has magic to her. Nicki is actually a bad ass rapper.
There's talent there. That can't be taken away from any of them. But there's certain things about the world that you cannot look past.

Hun you kinda prove Matt point. The fact is their light skin has proved them with ample opportunities to POP off. Fact is they aren't interesting as artist. But their light skin has given great advantage to try to POP off. How many dark skin girls would be getting the push that they are at this point still?

Nothing, I was making a different point :udontlookok:
these conversations are healthy...im kinda surprised with how blunt Matthew is being but it seems as if a lot of shit is being called out these days.
there's really no time to pretend as if certain things don't exist and aren't there. certainly not with trump as our president
luv nicki to death but i have to call a spade a spade. she damn well KNOWS that there is advantage in being seen as "other" or "mixed" and she plays it up all the time. harajuku! china! my kitchen gewd! it's a bit much.
but i'm not too hard on her or anyone else who may have a complex because we're ultimately all victims when it comes down to that. its larger than just one person or lyric.
only way to really heal and address something is to have an open and honest conversation about it. we brush so much shit under the rug as Black people.

She had her struggles too. And out of all the girls she makes the most pop radio friendly music. Let?s see how things fare after 30.

I see a Black woman of lighter complexion.
Nicki doesn't give me ambiguous.
It's all subjective.
You say lighter skinned Black womuh and Sle calls her the South Asian ladyboy.
No point in really debating about that because it's all in the eyes of the beholder.
She can pass for a white girl here

6. Beyonc? - Check On It (201M)
Jan where were ya??? :ATLcameo:
Can?t take away Beys accomplishments or obvious work ethic for sure. It?s only offensive because of the way he said it and how the headlines will make it seem as if he?s implying it?s the SOLE reason for her success
Black women who have had top 10s THIS decade
Beyonc?
Cardi B
Halsey
Janelle Monae
Mariah Carey
Natalie La Rose
Nicki Minaj
Rihanna
I don?t get how you can look at this and still dispute what he said :ATLcameo:
Kelly got the closest (but not quite top10) as a non light skin girl with motivation and that song would?ve been an easy top10 for the others.

:guys:
I don?t see 1 name there that can compete with anyone Mathew mentioned on any level. Not even with nicki or solange.
Dawn is up there, but she doesn?t make radio friendly music so it doesn?t take a wizard to figure out why she ain?t on the radio.
Sevyn?s album proved she?s not in the running towards becoming the worlds next female superstar.

All the labels wanted a racially ambiguous/light skinned all singing and dancing power machine signed to them :dead:
Whether they were able to clone the originals success is another story
But it doesn?t negate the fact that her success talent as well as her image overall is what labels tried and still try to emulate.
If Bey was dark I?m sure the industry would look a little different
Because record labels would be trying to make girls in that image
It was like when Britney was on top there was a time when all the white girls kind of looked like her
It?s not color issue it?s marketing

Tbh it wasn?t like this til the 00?s. The 90?s were much different. I think his daughter actually is where the problem started. Record labels are looking to sign girls who look like the next beyonce tbh. Light skin blond wig
yeah and how's that working out for them? :ohwow:
:guys: not unless i've missed something. I actually haven't seen ONE successful light bitch with a blonde wig since...
So..... :ummwhat:
that doesn?t really negate what he said, though. NONE of this takes away from Beyonce :dead: it?s the opposite actually
She?s such a heavyweight that we don?t want another one and won?t ever get one
!!!
All the labels wanted a racially ambiguous/light skinned all singing and dancing power machine signed to them :dead:
Whether they were able to clone the originals success is another story
But it doesn?t negate the fact that her success talent as well as her image overall is what labels tried and still try to emulate.
!!!! You see it in EVERY industry, really.
It?s just like in sports with people looking for the next Jordan every 3 seconds.

Good luck

If Bey was dark I?m sure the industry would look a little different
Because record labels would be trying to make girls in that image
It was like when Britney was on top there was a time when all the white girls kind of looked like her
It?s not color issue it?s marketing
this post would only be 100% true IF people were saying the color of her skin is the main reason for her success. No one has said that
Matthew would be lying and doing himself a disservice if that?s what he meant and i know he didn?t. She?s the hardest working girl and deserves all of her success

Isn't Tinashe light skinned? Rita or a? Light skin isn't the key to success. If that was the case multiple girls would have Rihanna's chart success
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keri, Cassie and Amerie too
Being light isn?t the key to success in the industry
b
of course there are light skinned flops. of course not every light skin girl is gonna pop off. but out OF the successful women in music, the majority are lightskinned
Speaking of light skin. Has keyshia?s alberm scanned plastic yet?
what album
The 1 that did 11k the first week and caused LAHHH to give her the boot :sobusyjetsetter:

Well Mazda has been signed twice after that.
You think a dark skin girl would?ve easily had that many chances? She hasn?t blown up and never will but her skin tone and look has definitely given her an advantage. She?s ?beyonce? marketable. Why you think frank quickly threw her old ass in the front of his group?

Even though Kristal is a flop, look at how many chances she?s gotten, look at how many chances Tinashes gotten, Ciara hasn?t had a certified album in a decade but she?s got 9 lives. :plzstop:
Kristal is just lazy and doesn't want to put in the work. That's why she'll never pop off.
If Sevyn was light skinned I'm sure she would receive as many opportunities as Tinashe does but she doesn't which is unfortunate.
:usureuok: ok now wait
shit
:mmyulost:
Bey probably wouldn' or just barely see a platinum record if she was dark skinned lets just keep it real . and the country music awards def ain't having no darkie on their stage.

no, she?s just too similar to Bey and that?s working against her but she has put in a lot of work in her time. She is not lazy
She's lazy, IMO but ok.
Let me get into Kristal and ill report back later my opinion will be the final verdict
