MarcusBones 3,343 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 why did he chose a woman to come for though? why not a man? why would he even make the comparison? I love how people are "woke" yet get a free pass on their misogyny... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,953 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 2 hours ago, JGD said: The Gaga curse has a new target It’s already started But seriously, why do people always come for Gaga as if she has any direct role in what they’re talking about? He has a point about black representation and the lack support for those artists even when they’re more talented than their peers, but this is some dumbass **** to even mention Gaga or a woman for that matter. You have so many white mediocre male artists you could be addressing, but you choose her to call out. Over it tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 RARELY does Gaga ever respond to these type of Jabs, however, I do believe if she ever were to anytime soon it should be to him because he is wrong in so many ways rn. I cant shake the feeling of disappointment from glover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retron 2,605 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 That's disappointing. I like Donald a lot. But seriously, read up on the s*** he went through on Community. Explains a lot of the cynicism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe 17,137 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 He has a point with talented black artists not getting the same amount of attention, unfortunate that he decided to drag Gaga (and lowkey even P!nk) while making his point. Plenty of mediocre talents out there, plenty of talented POC who could be promoted and recognised instead, but those ladies are among the most talented of the crop.

Emvee 8,585 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Am I the only one who feels like black people actually are just as venerated and awarded in the music industry? I know that sounds super ignorant, but Rap and hip-hop are the biggest music genres in the country right now. Other historically black music genres have been some of the most influential in American history. Beyonce, Whitney, MJ, Prince, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday... the list goes on and on. I’m missing something for sure, right? I mean, just because this guy chooses to make hipstery music and therefore not as mainstream, popular, or acknowledged... I don’t know.

But, I think his dragging of Gaga and Pink are fairly unwarranted. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Eyes 2,301 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Okay. On the one hand, is MAIN point is true af and needs to be discussed. Black artists DO frequently get overlooked for white artists who aren't as good but do something similar. JT is a great example. He has spent his entire career using black styles and received high amounts of praise and success that a black artist in the same lane would not have received. I'm in no way faulting Donald for feeling this way. But He's wrong about Lady Gaga. Plain and simple. (And P!nk). Both of these women have stood the test of time. They've seen career peaks and lows and in-betweens. They've wowed audiences with their numerous skills. Hell, he doesn't even make music like her. I don't understand the comparison he's trying to make. This is weak, rhetorically, because everyone is going to read into his shade towards Gaga and P!nk instead of grasping his main point. It's like he gave his opposition a straw man argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Evans 8,917 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 artists from NYU nominated at the 2018 Grammys: http://www.alumni.nyu.edu/show_module_fw2.aspx?sid=1068&gid=1&control_id=29915&nologo=1&cvprint=1&page_id=17252&crid=0&viewas=user read his quote again and it feels like he only took a jab at her because she and Mark Ronson are the only relevant white artists from NYU Spoiler (plus one of the chainsmokers but mind you I said relevant ) probably just wanted to throw her name out there for clout and to get a laugh but he still shouldn't have said it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people you mentioned are a dime a dozen compared to their white counterparts when it comes to getting a platform, acknowledgement, opportunity, etc. They also had major set backs because they had to break the color barrier.
