On the topic of white artists doing "soulless R&B," it's funny how people have such a hard time supporting Adele, Justin and Sam for the type of music they make, but think Rihanna or acts like her are "good R&B." I'm not a big fan of leechers, but I don't think any of these so-called black "R&B acts" are any better.
What's wrong with Rihanna? Ain't she grow up singing Beyonce and Mariah?

Her music or her interpretation of R&B is not what I call "good R&B music with soul." Also, so what? Who's to say Adele, Justin Timberlake and Sam Smith didn't grow up singing to and looking up to black artists? Because I believe that each of them did.

Dd. Who does?
Has anyone ever had Rihannas name in their mouth during those cultural appropriation debates. Nobody once regarded her anything close to quintessentially R&B artist.
That's why I think the "appropriation" argument is ********.
Jamaican, Bajans, Grenadians etc. have influenced culture here and vice versa, because were so close together and travelling between the islands is fairly cheap and hassle free. so it's easy for cultures to mix. It's inevitable IMO

There are obvious cases, though. I mean, Riff Raff? Kreayshawn?
Iggy does it, but she is not as bad as some make her out to be. She's just a **** rapper.

It's weird how blacks use Riff Raff and Bieber (despite him calling blacks n*ggas on video)
And let's be real. Yung Thug/Migos etc and Iggy are on the same talent level. Only difference is that people enjoy have learned to enjoy Thugger's music 'ironically'
Iggy's other problem is thinking she's much better than she actually is
literally a case of a person auditioning for American Idol and not listening to the judges saying you suck
If we did support mediocrity Jackie would be platinum
