There is some bias towards the whole Urban movement niche, it's kinda undeniable.


Frank, Beyonce, Solange, Kendrick, etc getting 90s on Meta isn't fully 'because they make cute music!!!' like wake up.

Frank especially, EVERYONE knows Blonde doesn't deserve it's score. Everyone forgot about it and got tired of it after 3 weeks, half the world admitted they were disappointed by it when it was new and being liked.

Kendrick's mixtape with demos getting those 90s was also a mess. Who is still listening to that mixtape? Absolutely nobody, despite them giving it 5/5 as if it was one of the best albums ever.


But yeah, Nialler is still very... KyleAustin-ish, so yeah I ain't necessarily defending him.

With lemonade I'm fairly certain if they gave it what it deserves a 70-75 people would cry racism/prejudice.

The same could be said for any artist, not just Beyoncé and Kendrick, hell Ariana stans went off on the guy from RS who gave her a bad review and demanded him to write a new one, it has nothing to do with race. Drake is black and his new album received mixed reviews.

now sis, the Hive is something else... No one is afraid of Arianators.

The 2 artists closest to her though are arguably Drake and Beyoncé. I think being white has definitely given her an advantage but I don't think it's fair to attribute it as the main reason for her success.

2 black artists that are ALSO liked by white people. And half of their success is due to support from the black community. That's literally the only reason they're even close. If they didn't have that they'd be nowhere near and even with that Taylor is still outselling them

In order to be a super successful black artist you have to have support from both white and black people. To be a successful white artist you only really have to be supported by whites and even that you reciever like 3x over in comparison

After the tea on reporters being instructed to not say bad things about certain performers, it's pretty obvious that certain management teams are colluding with critics behind the scenes.

If Gaga hadn't lost 25 million with ARTPOP and spent $5 million to play at the Super Bowl, she could have purchased better reviews.

Find one person in the Urban industry who loudly speaks on black issues and constantly incorporates it into their music and doesn't have huge acclaim.

Hm, seeing all this said makes me respect Drake even more. You would think he would follow lead and do the same for the industry respect but nope. All his peers using societal issues for acclaim and approval, and he goes against the curve and still outdoes them.

Hun, I was here before you were. You literally registered the month Applause came out.

The LM were on EVERYONE'S neck in 2011/2012, and anyone who was active on this site can attest to that.

Don't quote me again if you're going to call me an obsessed Gaga hater, because I have no ill-feelings towards that chick.

ok so yall are still mad by lashings that were supposedly given in 2011?

ITS BEEN 5 YEARS, FIVE YEARS

All i have seen on this site since 2013 is the exact opposite and everytime someone called them out it is the same "this is for the monsters"

HIlarious really

wow glad everyone is aware that Lemonade's MC score is a joke

he's recording pop songs so it's different, if he made a BLM reference his score would automatically jump 20 points

No if he made GOOD music like he used to he'd receive better reviews. Take Care is critically acclaimed because the music was good not because it mentioned political issues. BEYONCE was acclaimed as well and didn't mention anything about BLM. All of this aggression because critics hate you're faves

Can't relate

the way she paid critics so that Solange's superior album didn't get the same/higher score

He's a half white jewish square from Canda obviously his stance on AA issues won't be as strong

Drake doesn't talk about Black Issues because he doesn't want to scare off all of the little white boys and girls who buy his music. A Cam Newton tea

Where did I say he specifically outdid them in acclaim?

The good sis outdid them all overall. Drake was 2016. He won, and did so without inauthentically being vocal about issues
