Not Love On The Brain & Work being hip hop

Not love on the brain but Work is def not rnb

If work is rnb what do you call Jill Scott's "long walk"

Brandy "full moon". erykah badu "window seat"

Would you put all those on the same category as needed me and work? Lmao

[GLOCK]

i keep bran fumed up..
its really an art imo

[AIDS]

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

n
rihanna is r&b tho
and she is also black..
her r&b tunes are serviced like R&B records as well..

Rihanna is not an R&B artist

!!!!!!!!

But a Pon de replay to you too

[ya rock muh world.]

Opinions indeed

"He's nothing but a wedding singer!"

With the amount of anger I see here, you'd think Bruno Mars was out here claiming he lived a thug life or something. Just being blatantly offensive or something. He sings R&B infused POP music.

And his father is a Puerto Rican man from Brooklyn. Like....

"He's not Black at all"

How do you know that? I see goddess obtained his DNA report prior to this session taking place.

Weren't you trying to say the same thing about cardi right when bodak went number 1 ?

If anything I was on here defending Cardi's use of the "n" word when interviews and articles began popping up to question her about it.

And trying to explain how closely knit Blacks and Hispanics are here in NYC.

Check the tapes before you roll them, Nick.

I checked the tapes including the hidden ones that yums never told you about.

You said cardi wasn't black and she shouldn't say the n word and that bodak yellow wasn't a success for black females in rap cause she wasn't black lolz

Check them more thoroughly.

I think it depends on your experiences too.

like I know yall girls in New York and other places go by proximity and aren't bothered hearing the N Word by certain people sometimes because alot of the time the context matches what you're used too.

In high school I didn't care who said the N word because I viewed it as a term of endearment, but I also lived in a majority black town and went to a majority black school. It wasn't until my freshmen year of college in Mississippi and hearing multiple white people use Nigga/Nigger interchangeably and in extremely offensive ways that my perception changed and I'm like nah white people can't ever say it cause I don't trust them with the word anymore. 

It's mainly hispanic people that use it with no problem here.

Being from NYC (  ) , I just have an eye and ear for them so I automatically knew Cardi was Latina from the Bronx but, a lot of people here thought Cardi was African American. I think that's why its comfortable - many of them not only experience the same struggles of the hood but they look like us as well.

Fat Joe could easily walk in the hood and tell the gorls he's a light skinned African American man and no one even would question it.



It's really their culture/history that separates them as Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc. And some genetics/bloodlines are definitely different as well but there are plenty who could "pass" as Black or "mixed" if they wanted to.

They look like people of color.

Well they lashed tf outta J. Lo when she said it. But then nobody cared about Angie Martinez.

I think it's more about culture than race at this point.

J.Lo only aligned herself with Black artists for personal gain - Murder Inc was like the hottest able at the time. SO her using it seems disingenuous.

Angie, Joe etc have always been a part of the "culture"

I don't agree. J Lo's from the Bronx - and she pointed out she lived (in that vidya where the old man couldn't figure out who she was  ) She was def from the hood.

Castle Hill area of the BX has a mixture of Blacks and Latinos living among one another.

Puerto Ricans don't even have to apply for a pass here. They share the same space a lot of times, and many of them are clearly people of color, so they experience a lot of the same mess.

J-Lo is generally a pop artist so there's really no need for her to be using profanity at every twist and turn..which is why we didn't hear the "n" word a lot from her.

Just because Angie and Fat Joe are rappers instead of singers doesn't give them more of a right IMO. That's the only difference. It's all about where you come from. You can take someone out of the hood  and "polish" them up a bit. Doesn't mean that they're not from the hood.

That video always tears me up!!!

fucking death.

And that's definitely the hood.

Look @ those damn prison BARS placed on the windows of the house so no one can break in.

It's pretty standard in more....urban areas.

Yeah Rihanna is an R&B girl..
who has a machine behind her that allows her to reach pop audiences!



Bruno wasnt crafted for black audiences.. period!
that is the difference ha ha

 "work" is, it's def not hip hop 
it's an R&B dancehall infusion

It's never been R&B.

Rih has nevenr given a Brandy, Faith Evans, Maxwell, Fantasia, Jaz Sullivan, Brian McKnight ect etc etc type of mess. That's R&B. Rihanna is Urban & Pop. She doesn't have a single R&B album and her making an R&B record every blue moon doesn't change anything.
