Opinions:

 

Cardi was never supposed to make it far in the industry. Labels and the music industry needed someone to tear Nicki down and erase her legacy, and they already tried it with multiple female rappers but never succeeded. Cardi was their last big attempt to accomplish their plain of completely destroying Nicki’s legacy. They thought that they had found the perfect person to end Nicki when Bodak Yellow went #1, but Cardi’s career was not going anywhere after that, and so that’s when Atlantic decided to fake a tweet about Nicki liking a tweet bout Cardi’s parenting in order to paint Nicki as the bad guy.

It was 2018 and Nicki hate train was strong. Atlantic knew people would believe the fake tweet because they were the ones who orchestrated Nicki's hate train back in 2018 and they knew the GP would side with Cardi and Nicki’s career would fall into oblivion.

Cardi’s career was pushed not to become a big artist. It was pushed by labels and the industry to destroy Nicki’s legacy.

 

-------------------------

 

Gaga and Nicki didn’t have the best relationship because they were constantly being compared. I believe Gaga felt threatened when Nicki gave us songs like ‘Super Bass’ and ‘Starships’ which were mega hits. Keep in mind this was back when Gaga was at her peak, so Gaga feel a bit jealous that Nicki was doing great pop records and overshadowing Gaga’s dominance back during her peak. Nicki was eating her up in the fashion department, and when she started doing pop in 2012/2013 she stole Gaga's shine and I feel that's why they didn't have the best relationship. But, it seems like they’re in good terms now, so it’s all good.

 

 

This is exactly why Cardi hasn't done a second album yet cause she knows that she was a pawn to destroy Nicki's legacy.

There's a lot of careers that are overestimated just because they're older.

Justin Timberlake being called "prince of pop" is a great example, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd are already miles above him. 

This also happens with pop girls. There are a lot of pop girls that have been surpassed by younger girls but if u say the truth u aren't respecting their "legacy". Boring. 

 

P.S: This is not about Madonna, Michael and Britney. Their titles are deserved. But there are a lot of artists that fits the "overestimated cuz they're older" checkmark.

Beyoncé is vastly overrated. 

[x æ a-xii]

Taylor Swift: blandest music act ever, I will never understand the appeal.

+ Most of her so-called fans are bandwagoners of her success and force themselves to like her music, probably ex KatyKats or ex Little Monsters, before those 2 flopped into oblivion.

Lana Del Rey is the most influential artists of the last decade… which is why we’re in one of the worst eras in music ever.

Yep, I know plenty of people who stanned Gaga when she was at the top, but jumped on Taylor’s bandwagon after 1989 or reputation.

Janet Jackson is unknown in 80% of the world.

Lana Del Rey's career was built on a strategically curated image her label pushed and co-invented because it was trendy. critics pointing that out has always been fair

That's no unpopular. That's a fact that even Lana admits.

Johnny Depp is a fat woman-beater and successfully gaslit 90% of society because they consume news through TikTok now.

[GraceRandolph]

Britney albums are filled to the brim with dated filler. You could buy a Greatest Hits album and not much would be lost really. 

[TalkThatRihanna]

It is much easier to win a Grammy now just by being successful, than it was over 10 years ago. If Katy’s slayage was in today’s day, she would’ve had multiple Grammys

Her fanbase has been with her since day 1. There's not a single fake stan among Taylor fans.

This is a thread for opinions, not facts.

Her label had nothing to do with the creation of her image or sound. She was using that long before label involvement and the proof is everywhere thanks to her leaked music videos and songs.

 

How are y’all still stuck in 2012

[Specter]

Neither Katy Perry nor Nicki Minaj deserve, or will likely ever win a Grammy - and this is a rare redeeming quality for the Grammy's.

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Mariah Carey is one of the best female pop writers ever. She is a better songwriter than some of the girlies y'all claim to be the "lyricists of our generation" honey. 

[GraceRandolph]

Kelly Clarkson’s nice aw shucks persona feels super contrived to me.

Wasn't Justin only called the prince of pop cause of he was the only one?

[PopKills]

Run Away With Me and Dancing On My Own are incredibly generic pop songs which would be dragged as mediocre if released by Taylor Swift or Katy Perry. 
Both artists have much better songs. 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa was probably a finished product before Dua Lipa even walked inside the studio honey

[GraceRandolph]

Beyoncé is all about media hype and narrative post-4, and she has become more boring than Taylor even. 

[Dragonfly]

Get Free is bottom3 on Lust for Life

Mariah is not from our generation so the people that claim someone is the lyricist of our Gen are still right. 

[the good guy_duh]

Janet Jackson is not a legend. (Unpopular opinion only on this forum, not the rest of the world, mind you).
