So is Nicki

that poor baby. imagine having 2 lunatics for parents

I don’t know but you’re definitely the definitive face of unemployment

Why is the whole Petty family obsessed with Cardi because she didn’t suck nicki’s d*** half a decade ago- What losers

Yoncé all over these credits like liquor.

This proves it. They hate each other. But ATRL will deny it because they would rather see two women support each other than tear each other down.

He sounds like a few of y’all on here ngl

This is why it’s always said it’s different for black artists. And when they succeed despite the obvious setbacks it’s to be commended.

the way I just know Cardi is the topic of conversation in that house 24/7

he said HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A MISOGYNIST???? EYE YAM RACIST!!!!!!!

She literally performed part of I Like That by Cardi at the Super Bowl

Imo for someone like Tate this is a more than great debut and with how relevant it seems on TikTok already it’s definitely gonna stay and only get higher

Babe, just cause every single and feature you’ve released besides one, flopped, doesn’t mean you’re in your “hate train era” A REAL hate train era was Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Janet Jackson, etc. Like please…you’re fine

I have one, sweetie. That's why I'm posting on a Saturday! I have the weekend off

The ATRL fanfic writers are over

Other second week numbers: Rennaisance: 90,000 Positions: 88,000 Happier Than Ever: 85,000 Chromatica: 65,000

people on twitter are not the people of the world twitter is filled with the worst of mankind, people who will spend hours making problems where there were none

All the Swifties (especially recently) constantly bringing down Beyoncé, and mentioning how she isn’t a “songwriter” - when she is literally an ASCAP recipient - is one of the many narratives that stem from racism and prejudice. To them it’s as if Beyoncé is incapable of putting a pen to paper (as a Black woman), and they try and make songwriting the checkmark that makes an artist an ACTUAL musician, and undermine her as a whole because of it. This narrative has also hurt her awards chances unfortunately. She prefers to collaborate, who gives a ****? Her ability to curate and bring together the talent it takes to bring her vision to fruition is something no other artist can say they’ve mastered as she has. She’s creative, hard working and a full on musician. Her colleagues constantly praise and mention her creativity and contributions but, again, they are disparaged and labeled liars who got a check.

I gagged when I saw this

Wym Nicki did a feature for Kim Petras

Beyoncé -> Lemonade -> Renaissance

Spotify version

Drake used an image of her getting slimed at the KCA's for an artwork cover of a song titled "Slime You Out" with sexual undertones. She has every right to be uncomfortable with that and given Drake's track record with women, I don't blame her.

Still doesn't explain when Olivia said "Vampire is about someone I used to respect and admire who ruined all of that for money, and I won't be saying who, no matter how much you all beg and plead, even though it's taylor swift"

There is no trinity. There is only Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

Just say "because I am Racist and Misogynist". We do not need 3 paragraphs of this.

Is the natural hair and face in the room with us right now?

YOU BOTH ARE YOU IDIOT YOU'RE BOTH SENILE

What is she supposed to say? “My favorite Cardi line is ”Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass *****””

It’s a lie. I smell Doja Cat manager worked out something behind the scenes lol. He’s A&R exec at Capitol (under UMG) and Drakes label is Republic (under UMG). And maybe even promised a feature too. If they all of a sudden drop something, we’ll know why. LOL.

Next year will be the 7 year mark in her career.... it's about to get BAD for her. All that Karma crap BG talked about all these years.. now you're going to find out how it really works. And we'll all be here right alongside you, rest assured

So she's not the type to think she owns the concept of harmonizing a yell and take 50% of the royalties from anyone who dares to do the same?

imagine how poc and people with significant others feel, ponytail lady

But the iTunes stats.

as soon as it becomes about their body, looks, etc. and not the art especially but even when it's about the art, there can be misogyny in the devaluation of women's art in comparison to men's art or in thinking that the art should be made for the [gay] male gaze and not as women's expression in general gay men are usually pretty misogynistic, even if they don't see it, just like non-gay men

Hear me out, ALL popstars, I mean, ALL, from their mainstream breakout peak within their first decade. Though I am talking about actual mainstream popstars, not the CRJs, the Grimes, the Melanie Martinez's or the Ava Max's and whatnot. Sure its not their debut era or whatever but the moment an artist kicks out into mainstream you're guaranteed that they'll peak their first decade in it. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Whitney, Justin Bieber, etc. Every popstar under the sun always peaks within 10 years of their mainstream breakout, except for Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift found success in 2006-2007 but really kicked into mainstream popularity with 2008s Fearless, and many consider her 2014 set 1989 to be her peak, well within the 7th/8th year of her first decade, following that rule, she falls under this category. And her time would close around 2018-2019, and it during that time period, many thought it did with the Lover era (Loser truly won in the end I fear) What is surprising however is that 2014's 1989 era pales in comparison to the level of fame, success and acclaim she has in the 2020s, nearly 15 years later, starting off with 2020s Folklore and Evermore, the re-recordings and with the smashing success of 2022's Midnights (with numbers never thought was possible in the 2020s but she did it), and its expected that she will hit even higher highs in 2024, a whole decade after her original 1989 era. The sky is the limit for TS11 too. Based off of this, she is clearly bending the conventions of what a popstar can do despite the moniker that the older you get = more unappealing you become. Taylor has only become more and more popular as she's stayed in the industry, nearly pushing 20 years in the game and spanning 3 decades, while not only competing, but towering over every other artist both trendy and established. She's managed to take the millennial kids and teens with her, grew up with them, took their kids and teens too, and just recently, took the dads by a chokehold, she's only expanded her fanbase as time goes by. Is Taylor breaking popstar conventions of rising and peak eras?

they need to kill each other off so cardi and nicki can remarry together

Shakira is like a diplomat, she has an agenda, and she follows it, never a surprise. I doubt she listen to half the people she collabs. Sure she'll be delightful and nice when asked about, but that's it. I'll always remember one time in Brazil, she used to be here a lot before her crossover, in one TV show they put a woman who was famous as a sexy symbol and was going into music but sang horribly, she "sang" acapella for Shakira, who said she was "wonderful, I love it" lol

Go against Doja it’s gon cost ya 🦄

Who's to say it wasn't the crowd performing to sold out Austin Mahone in Japan?

Not me being downvoted because of Yvette

Ms Petty herself

I don't think she meant legal permission, but more like checking with her as a courtesy.

What an asinine clown. White people go on thinking and speaking this way because the other white people in their lives, don’t check them. If you know someone (friend or family) saying or doing racist things, and you sit by and do nothing, you’re complicit and apart of the problem.

And people are saying why can't he just say he's racist and misogynist and spare us the paragraphs, but I feel the takeaway for me from this interview is that even tho he's all but admitting it himself, everything he said with all the context and personal reasonings demonstrates how he was able to legitimize those bigoted views in his field as one of the pillars of music journalism, like the usage and weaponizing of being "articulate" and that being his criteria alone could warrant an essay tbh

The funniest part is the clarification Black artists aren't his zeitgeist, but the women are just dumb (esp worse considering Black folks role in Rock N Roll...) Another good reason critical acclaim shouldn't be taken that seriously when some of the fundamental figures think like this.
