the only thing I feel about Bruno is that it is unfair that he gets tossed into the black categories at all the award shows..
he is a pop singer who does R&B songs.. really unfair advantage but that's it.
He is very upfront with his appreciation for blacks and how they have inspired him!

Rihanna also gets placed in the R&B categories at award shows but no one complains about that...lol

ya rock muh world.

People just love looking at someone and moving to dictate what their place should be. All about color and race, and about putting someone in a damn box.  And that's understandable , especially given the nation's racial climate, but at least take the time to look into his background before you make such a SERIOUS accusation like culture appropriation.

I definitely get the points being made, there's some validity . But to pin HIM to the cross for it is fucked up.

I am beyond tired of this era in society. I love that we are starting to see things but let's use logic and not be selective.
Monique deserved more than 500k ; her logic was flawed but she definitely deserved more than that.
Bruno should be allowed  to make whatever music he wants to make.

The fact of the matter is until we as culture go out and buy the new R&B projects like we did for Black Panther and hip-hop. The whites (non-blacks) will continue to be more popular sanging it.

We have to be okay with the fact that Monica will never get another bb hot100 #1 song no matter how amazing it was or that there will never be another Confessions' album from our genre and take our FAULT in it!
Monica hasnt had a hit or platinum plaque since the 90?s because she?s a flop not because she?s black  :dead:

that is a lie! Monica wasn't fucking with the girls in her Still Standing era and if that same era with the same music was released in the 90s guarantee Love All Over Me/Everything would have hit that BB TOP 3. This isn't about her I was using her as an example as someone who has kinda stayed consistent to her base and semi consistent with material releases.

every single from Anti is R&B btw..

every one

What about the rest of Rihanna's discography?

And Bruno's whole album is R&B.


b7

She's more R&B than bruno, i know that. even her album tracks if we AREN'T talking singles lol

people like  Fauntleroy laced her with R&B IMO. it may not be the old school B.cox ballad kind, but hey.
