I swear, everytime an artist goes urban, you all praise it to hell...

All you haters that hate Ke$ha praised sleazy when it's absolutely horrid

You all hate Jessie J, but praise her new single

Britney's Femme Fatale was bashed like crazy, but oh as soon as you hear her the new producers, it will be the best album ever...

Rihanna's album loud is called generic even though it's one of her best.. yet sucky albums like unapologetic and Rated R are praised like crazy..

Kylie Minogue has many amazing bops.. but then so many people that were never here for her go crazy for Skirt, when timebomb and many other past tracks don't get any love..

LIKE WHY.. why is urban so loved?... I barely ever like anything like it.. explain to me whats so great about it

Obviously you have your own opinion, which is fine, and lots of other people (including myself) have a contrary opinion that urban music is awesome!

Sleazy is one of my favorite Ke$ha songs

Because it's the best music you have your taste we have ours what's the point of this thread

The point of this thread is to discuss why urban is more praised then just regular pop

Each genre of music is praised within its terms, that's just how music is............


When an artist goes urban, I think it shows that they don't take themselves too serious and that can come off as charming to some people

Yeah, urban is mostly just trash, I don't get it.

Yasss, let it out sis.

Timebomb is a bop, I hear it every time I go to the ghey club.

Urban has broader appeal than pop. Think about different demographics. I know where you are coming from though, people trash EDM as a whole all the time without justification.

While I disagree with some of the OPs comments about urban music being "vile," I think it's a) a breath of fresh air from the past 5-6 years of dance-pop dominating the pop mainstream and b) urban is generally harder to pull off convincingly, whereas dance pop has a very large margin for inclusion. While urban artists can clearly do dance-pop, it doesn't often work the other way around. That's just my 2 cents.

this exactly

hmmm.. that's quite interesting.. though Ke$ha pulled of urban (apparently) very well with sleazy..

I just don't understand what the appeal is.. it's all the same stuff with urban.. there is like no depth.. even less then pop.. and the whole way to dance and appreciate it is just so blah

It may just be that you have terrible taste.

I see.

Cause people have different tastes and that doesn't make it vile. It's not even that serious to be fuming like this.

ATRL is full of people who only know about urban music when their faves do it, so I wouldn't say it's praised. People just have different tastes.

Sleazy is Ke$ha's best song

Skirt is cool too, but the reason people weren't here for Timebomb is because it's decidedly mediocre
