Something that's catchy and appeals to the most amount of people across genres. Like Umbrella.

basically music about little of nothing

LoveAlive said:

Nah, Umbrella is a p*ssy-power song. I'm not saying it's a masterpiece of meaning, but it does have a certain pop-feminist slant--flips the script on decades of dick metaphors in popular music.

Good point.

MendesCity said:

its so weird how the big wigs behind the scenes think in terms of marketing music. I have always been attracted to music that challenged me or was different than what I normally listened to or heard on radio. I guess I wouldnt be the person that the marketing team would factor in as a target audience

LoveAlive said:

Count me in too. I know they'd turn me down too since I'm not entertained by who they think will be in my peer group, lol.

snoop was so ugly with his white outfit in the video, he looked like a dried up old woman

Silly me! I thought sex sold records! i.e. fucking for tracks, fucking for promotion, etc.

men will do ANYTHING for some ass. I mean that literally; they will kill, steal, cheat and lie.

Wait, Keyshia Cole and Mary J are pretty? LOL

Mariah is pretty, Janet is pretty. Those 2? No.

He didn't lie and as much as folks would want to carry on with the holier-than-thou attitude, folks in here tear down people's looks in a mug,,,so the whole double standard in this thread seems kinda funny to me.

Keyshia Cole looks like Mike Strahan with titties. That turns some people on I guess.

Dance said:

Something tells me if Janet wasn't knifed up y'all probably wouldn't think she was too cute either, but yea - Janet & Mariah, GORGEOUS! The rest of 'em?? BEASTS...

And somehow he's right...

Memo to Snoop: Ugly men don't sell records, either, because your new one is flopping.

ITA
People are caught up on the messenger and his delivery, but Snoop is speaking nothing but the truth.

True, Nick did. I should have scrolled up & quoted him only.

Dance said:

BlaqueKnight said:

Case Closed.

The writing on this new Snoop cd may be some of the laziest, uninspired mess of all time.

Flowerz said:

Come on

Dance said:

for once, i agree with u

Dance said:

see? .. this is why i thought you, yourself was a female before.. cause you are really hard on alot of nice looking females.. you just have something against lighter skin folks (and i protest) .. Keyshia is a nice looking girl, im not a fan of her music, but i dont think she's non-attractive.. ... (oh usually other jealous females hate on other females lol.. is why i thought u were one lol ..my bad )

Should I continue...?

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with Snoop's observation about pretty women being valued way more highly by the music industry, as far as artists go.

My quibble is that Snoop is someone who has made exploiting women the cornerstone of his videos and, by extension, a significant part of his career. My problem wasn't with his repeating an undeniable truth in the industry (if not the world).

It was with his weak excuses for exploiting women and for his suggestion that he doesn't.
