FEATURED India Arie: Janelle Monae and Meg The Stallion Doesn’t Represent Us Well

[Chi-Town B]

There's a reason it's called grown and sexy brother

Grown and sexy, not dirty and trashy

 

[BlackRain]

how many india arie albums you niggas own?

Name another song outside of brown skin and ready for love..

Since she the last bastion of traditional wholesome r&b yall support her projects right?

On one of her last releases in 2017 she said the music was for quiet time, meditation and yoga. Well Meg and Janelle ain't make music for that so like it was said her issue should be with who booked the performers. Ain't no way you see Meg and Janelle, know their music, and think there was any other type of show being put on. She have a problem when Juvenile and Mannie Fresh had a crowd of women throwing ass in a circle during "Back Dat Azz Up" down there too? If she coming at one then come at all of it

 

[Chi-Town B]

lmao I will do no such fuckin thing.

What does it have to do with anything tho? Niggas wishing for more wholesome shit instead of what the agenda is pushing.. im tryna see if they actually support what they championing or not.

I bought all those women's albums during that era of female R&B. I have never bought any of these thot albums or even listen to any songs from them

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

This the same type of shit that got Bill Cosby in a mortal beef w niggas lmao

 

[Inori]

Maybe these thots should be doing just that

But do you still buy them? India Arie last project came out in 2019. You can't complain about shit you don't support not being pushed or marketed the way you want. There's a reason we've gotten 15 Jhene Aiko whispering clones and but Luke James is relegated to singing background for Tank on Tiny Desk for people to know he can sing.

 

[Loquacious]

India is right in a sense but at the same time, we come to Essence to shake ass!!

 

[Chi-Town B]

Voyage To India

 

[Loquacious]

The real issue is people thinking what someone else does, represents us.

Meg and JM shaking ass and tits don’t represent me.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Was nt Meg just crying about how ppl perceive her based on the image she puts out there?

 

[Inori]

Monae was on that HEAVY not so long ago

She did a complete 180 lmao

 

[Chi-Town B]

Y'all really in here disagreeing with us about wanting women to be classy

 

[AP2.5]

Monae was on that HEAVY not so long ago

She did a complete 180 lmao

Did you listen to Dirty Computer brother?

She was pretty clear on what type of woman she is on that project. She's been trending this way for a few years now.

I don't think is a 180 at all

 

[grYmes]

Lol, we need to stop acting like every black person who does something gotta represent the whole race.
