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

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....

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

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..

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.

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.

Loser, loser, loser… 🤣 I MA LOVE THIS PRIMARY SEASON

1. I am for abolishing the debt. 2. My point before you jumped in was that Biden did not run on it to start with. It’s not too much to ask than asking people to educate themselves on a topic if they are gonna come in a threads to distribute - or +, then rant on an issue. 3. Even if they don’t cancel the debt, it would still have been a good investment.

Again, unless you’re telling me that there’s no anti black racism & discrimination overseas and that African/Latin/Caribbean/European blacks are wealthier than US black, my point remains: The price of our education is an investment that paid off.

NO COUNTRY DESERVES TO BE ATTACKED LIKE THAT FOR NOTHING. But honey, I was already over Ukraine when they tried to put African people in the back of the buses/trains when Russia attacked. & then the Ukrainians in London complaining that there’s too many black people so they don’t feel safe. & never forget that when Syria was being destroyed, Ukraine accepted a grand total of: 2 Syrian refugees. I wish Ukraine good luck but the gaslighting we’ve got about this utopian Ukraine for the past 2 years need to stop.

I’d like to know what you think black people life is like in other countries We know we’ll be treated worst than everybody else . We don’t expect anything less from any country. Sadly, despite the disparity you highlighted, Black Americans are still wealthier than black Africans, black Caribbean, black Europeans and black Latinos. & Latin Americans vote with their feet everyday.

MARY THAT GIRL!

It’s called an investment & it has clearly paid off as US households enjoy the highest net worth of a major economy on earth as per Credit Suisse.

Yet the US has one of the highest rate of college educated people in the entire world. Make it make sense! The Top 10 Most-Educated Countries (OECD 2018) Canada — 56.27% Japan — 50.50% Israel — 49.90% South Korea — 46.86% United Kingdom — 45.96% United States — 45.67% Australia — 43.74% Finland — 43.60% Norway — 43.02% Luxembourg — 42.86% https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-educated-countries In the West, Canada is only ahead of the USA because of its discriminatory immigration system which basically forbids non college degree immigrants.

No disrespect but the entire world elite send their children to get educated in the UK & US so these prices are a fair valuation of the value of those degree. Their universities have unmatched WW reputation. Even your favorite leader: XI sent his daughter to be educated here even in the midst of our COVID debacle & trade war. That tells me everything I need to know about the value of a US degree. A degree from UCLA opens doors in EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH. The same can’t be said about any degree from Colombia, France, Austria or Italy. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Personally, I have a platinum healthcare, dental & vision plan so public healthcare is a HARD PASS. I understand the media and the left have successfully defamed the "US healthcare system". But when people personally interact with our healthcare system, they have no issue with it.

I can't imagine being this obsessed about the domestic politics of a foreign country. Biden never promised to waive student debt all together when he ran. He actively criticized those plans as irresponsible and run on a much smaller forgiveness platform which he's delivering on Maybe educate yourself on US politics if you are gonna comment on it and downvote people.
