I’m probably stating the obvious here, but that video was clearly created by a poser artist, who wants us to think he’s a genius.

I agree. If any of these new girls are supermodels, it’s Cara Delevingne. She’s crazy privileged, but she’s talented and captivating enough to be successful without her wealth/connections. Gigi and Kendall are good enough, but can’t hold a candle to Cara.

Shut up Kendal. The only reason you’re a “model” is because you’re related to the Kardashians. Just bask in your luck and stop whining about perceived slights.

Every single one of the people who will tell us that “Ayesha is her own person” thinks that Bill is embarrassing Hillary (or that she is accountable for the actions of his presidency in the 90s).

what world do you live in... Ayesha curry and his mom are popular because of how they look. The idea that popularity and tolerance have nothing to do with what curry looks like is kind of ignorant.

It's the Miko situation all over again. People connected to you saying stupid shit always reflects poorly on those associated. Perhaps it's not right, but this is hardly unusual.

Pretty sure Under Armour isn’t thrilled. You can say what you want but don’t be surprised if no one wants your “ Dad shoe” and no one watches your crappy cooking show.

Exactly. If someone’s wife was complaining at my company about conspiracies and the failings publicly, that person is going to be brought into HR’s office and be dressed down. Hell, they may even get fired depending on who they piss off.

Although I agree everyone is their own person and has a right to their own opinions, you cannot ignore the fact that it does reflect poorly upon one’s spouse to act out like that. It invites criticism, warranted or not. And honestly, it’s kind of disrespectful to the other spouse to say things in public that they…

“Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West.”

Good for her. Honestly Taylor can do no right in anyones eyes. She could cure cancer and people would say ugh what an attention whore. I don’t know Taylor personally but from what I do know I do not believe for a second she would allow someone, especially Kayne who humiliated her on national television as a young…

What a nice guy. Says something shitty about a person, but hey, it’s cool, he asked permission first.

Wait, so let’s zoom in on the magazine cover for a moment: “KIM AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER”

I’d like to get a restraining order against all the Kardashians and Jenners and their half siblings and step siblings and fake love interests. Basically no more news from L.A.

Plenty of black people make crappy versions of black music and are successful, just ask Soulja Boy. When it comes to media, sadly the most talented are not always the most successful.

Iggy is signed to Def Jam which was co-founded by Russell Simmons. T.I. was her mentor. So it’s not like she stole from black people. Some black people had a role in her success and profited from it. T.I. probably profited more from her music than she did.

This criticism may have been valid at Joplin’s time because back then black artists often inspired others but weren’t allowed to put music into the mainstream themselves. They often did the work while white artists got the credit. That hasn’t been the case for decades. The people who inspired Megan Trainor, Iggy…

Who gets to decide what’s considered crappy or deserving of success, though? That’s the argument JustUsBabe seems to be making. The article seems to say it’s okay when Amy Winehouse did it because the author liked her music. She doesn’t like Meghan Trainor, though, so it’s wrong and she doesn’t deserve success. It’s…

Agree.. and yet.. there’s some strangeness to his views. Amy = good, because she sounds good and has blacks in her band. Meghan = bad because she from the North/funny sounding place. The writer could have asked Meghan - why do you sound like you’re from the black South when you sing? And, what was Amy’s response to…

So, the crux of your argument is that if the music is “bad” (as judged by you and/or others...) then the artist is not allowed to draw from black influences or explore black sound... because it’s appropriating black culture to sell “bad music”
