Babyface permanently removed from Anita Baker Tour after his fans cyberbully Anita
I apologize if I was not clear enough. Urban radio is great and it is the best way to have a long career as a black artist cause pop radio will play you for 2 or 3 eras and then dish you for good when Urban radio is loyal AF... I meant she could have had access to pop radio & international market ON TOP of Urban radio... not INSTEAD of it. Luther did it perfect.. I always wondered why she never toured with him overseas... cause their music is such a perfect match and he could have introduced her to his overseas fanbase. But now I know he too couldn't stand her guts (& Luther was no Angel himself. EnVogue have a lot to say about him when they were his opening act) With a voice like that & such an immaculate catalog, she could be Ursula in flesh and will still be able to tour imo. I first heard her in my friend's car in 2015. He played FAIRY TALES. I was obsessed, went back to the dorm, bought her entire catalogue, and listen to it for 2 years straight.... 20 years after her peak

No Hiphop album or single has reached #1 on Billboard this year. Surprised?
I didn't even noticed this. God, please make it real... We even had a 10 week #1 r&b album. I've been saying r&b is coming back....

Babyface permanently removed from Anita Baker Tour after his fans cyberbully Anita
She's CRAZY! Yesterday, her tweets were so unhinged. No wonder she never made it big outside of urban radio with that nasty attitude. She could have been the female Luther but she has the worst attitude. And she's delusional to act like she's a bigger name that Babyface. I hope he does a LAFACE tour with Usher, Toni, TLC, Outkast, & T.I like Diddy did his BadBoy Tours. Add P!nk and make it STADIUM TOUR Now Auntie Anita better refund us & all the people who bought tickets to go see Babyface.

Why are some songs so big without ever charting
Radio has always been a chart gate-keeper sadly. They won't play certain topics and would have never supporter Kill Bill if it was not for the power of streaming makin it very awkward for top40 radio to ignore it. But people would still buy and nowadays they can stream. Also chart rules: In most of the 2000s, Chart points were 99% dependent on radio in the US as singles were dead, & itunes and streaming did not come until later in the decade. In the 90s, even if a single was #1 on radio, it would not chart unless it was released as a single: ie Lauryn Hill's Doo *** (That Thing)

Which Taylor's album are you?
Never heard an alum from her but based on singles & image, I'd be Red.... Tayor living her best "We Found Love" life.

She never loses Imagine being stupid enough to mess with Taylor after how she exiled Kanye for a few months & crushed Scooter Braun with her re-recording tour the force.

Does Pride Month feel a lot more...hostile this year?
Just in the media discourse but the US right wing is on fire rn tbh. This is the 1st year where I feel they got more power than the lgbt organizations.

2024 US Election Megathread 🇺🇸🏛️
He's one of those self-appointed black leaders. Most black people don't know him & the ones who do hate him. I ain't worried about that. His buddy Travis Smiley literally had to quit his decade old syndicated show on black radios after the torrential backlash they got when they attacked Obama in the most racist way. We ran her outta town

K-Pop Thread: 2023 Archive
Congratulation! Most Americans only knows BTS & the rest... It'll be interesting to see if StrayKids can have an impact in this market as well and eventually become a part of the mainstream US entertainment.

Looks like the Inflation Reduction Act was a success after all. Poor republicans, 2024 is not looking goof for them. Inflation rose at a 4% annual rate in May, the lowest in 2 years https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/13/cpi-inflation-report-may-2023-.html

Breaking: Kesha defeats Dr. Luke at New York's highest court
Dr Luke must be such an evil person. I mean, how hard is it for him to just pay her and set her free from her agreement. He purposefully chose to spend millions on lawyers vs letting her go. 🤮 This could have been long behind him by now. He's just tryna pull the D card on her like Scotty tried to do Taylor. That is the 1 reason I like Taylor. She has the way to flip the script on those powerful men who try to control her & when she goes to war, she ruins them..

Kanye serves sushi on naked woman, young daughter in attendance
Honey' I grew up to that imagery all over tv. What are you talking about? Anybody who's seen a few movies based in Japan (or really any Asia country as we know Hollywood don't mind mis-matching cultures). Rush Hour & Rising Sun are 2 quick classics that come to mind.

Which artist has the nicest/most toxic fandom and why?
The monsters were undeniably most insufferable and delusional fanbase. Gaga never even had the kinda success Taylor has but they were acting like she was MJ, Madonna & Prince all in 1. Gaga debut was huge commercially but she did put 2 eras into 1 and still did not get the acclaim or stadium status at that time… while Taylor enjoys: hit maker, album smasha, Grammy darling & stadium status all at once. & she’s not smashing with 1 era, she’s smashing a 15 year long discography with everything charting. Her re-recording are bigger than most of Gaga s album. So the swifties are kinda mild compared to what the hives or the monster would be doing now if their faves was that successful.

It’s not an obscure practice so I’m not sure what’s the problem.
