I'm sure this will be a little hit, but I'm a little tired of this sound from King.

Throwback!

We get it.

Also the song is just...not good.

Of course it'll be a hit. He's mastered his formula of pandering and he's privileged

its not just his ethnicity or sexual orientation itself

it's the spaces he occupies. his racial ambiguity mixed with the "nigga lite" music

he knows this. which is why he makes it a point to make sure he shares the spotlight with actual Black people

its a nice gesture but it also keeps the heat and lenses off of him

That man is more talented than most of your faves. Let's not pretend he made it here in privilege  :dead:

but to his credit, i do feel the inspiration is genuine

he seems to have a genuine love for the music he does.

if he doesn't actually hold it close to his heart, he's a damn good actor

This is boring for a return single and a stadium tour launch

I love Bruno but im a lil IFFY on this one. Might grow on me. 
I mean Bruno has 9 #1 songs, more than MOST, so I guess he felt like a break lolz. Knowing Bruno this might go #1 too tho
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

Bruno is clearly talented, full of charisma and is very likable IMO

i actually enjoy a few of his songs

but there are such things as "contributing factors".

that's at least how i feel. i don't feel he's "untalented".
i just understand why people say  he benefits from his racial ambiguity doing "Black music".

but if someone is saying he has no talent i wouldn't agree with that

when Bow says "privilege" she is literally referring to Bruno's ambiguity

it's a proven fact that racially ambiguous people can have an upper hand in certain situations and spaces.

companies even use it as a marketing tool for advertising. again, this is a fact. not my opinion. i can't stress this enough.

i mean it makes sense. when a Black person can look at someone and say "you look like u could be my cousin"
and a Latino person can say the same
and an Indian person can say the same
and an Asian person can say the same

and even with White people, people like that can seem "safer" than their unambiguously Black counterparts.

this undoubtedly can increase someone's ability to REACH larger audiences.

Bruno has that type of look 100%. most likely due to the fact that he actually has a diverse family background.

that type of person dipping into a type of music that is seen as "Black music" will then push their work out to larger audiences, thus creating the "privilege" Bow is talking about.

i really hopes this makes sense cuz i kinda hate i had to spell this out.

this does NOT automatically mean he is untalented btw.
