I'm so tired of the music industry kissing Timberlake's ass..

Ok guys, let's forget about his new album and single right now. This has been on my mind for YEARS.

Why does the music industry continue to kiss Timerlake's ass? It's annoying.

My main issue is that his last album came out 6 fucking years ago, SIX. I remember when "Sexy Back" "What Goes Around..Comes Around" and "My Love" had first come out. I'm not gonna like, they were nice songs and I liked them. But why the hell does the radio still play them like they came out fucking yesterday? They were ok songs, but nothing great. The songs I just mentioned plus "Rock Your Body" and "Cry Me a River" are on regular rotation. WHY?

As soon as I heard about him working on a new album I KNEW the radio would play the hell out of singles even if they sucked. And I'm sorry, but Suit and Tie is hot ass. The only part I like on it is Jay-Z's verse.

He has an extremely annoying high-pitched voice, his voice has no kind of dept or range. And he can't dance, he might have a little bit of rhythm but he is NOT a natural dancer and he's very stiff in the hips. These are FACTS.

So what's the damn obsession? My only guess is that he is a white guy doing more R&B-type music, which makes him special. Kind of like Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers. This type of thing isn't new in the music industry. I've noticed that throughout music history when a artist does music outside of their "norm" they get a lot more exposure. Like a Female (Chaka) or white people (AWB) doing funk music in the 70s, for example. But STILL timberlake is mediocre as hell to me. Nothing special about him.

Oh, and his acting SUCKS. Who the hell gave him those roles? Dude is TRASH on the big screen. It's sad how decent actors/actresses wait years for their big break and this asshole gets big film roles form the jump? Why? Are people really rushing to the theatres for a Justin Timberlake film? REALLY?

Oh yeah, and his SNL skits were ass. razz

I don't get the hype. His album will probably debut and #1 and stay there for 5 weeks. Big fucking whoop. Half those sales will be the record label anyway.

You guys know me by now, I don't give a shit about who the media hypes up nor do I give a shit about 95% of what's on Hip-Hop/R&B radio today. But it has always baffled me why JT is always regarded as so great. WTF has he even done? Dude has always been "just ok" for me. Just another Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga, Britney, Katy Perry or Ke$ha to me.

OK, rant over. lol

I honeslty dont get why there is so much JT hate on this board.

Its not like he has a huge fan base here going on and on bout what an amazing musical genius he is. You have maybe a hand full of people are saying hes good and some tracks are decent. Thats it.

Yet the haters are just frothing at the mouth bout a new record, going on and on bout how horrible of a person he is, how he steals from everyone else and how dare a white boy sing r&b.

Bizzare world.

The only thing bizarre about this world is how people can not agree to disagree without someone labeling them a hater just because they disagree with their opinion.

I did acknowledge that his presence in the music scene will make things more interesting and he makes better music in comparision to his peers.

BUT

No he is not a genius

No he is not innovative

No he can not dance

No he is not extraodinarily talented

and NO I am not going to stop saying those things biggrin

People are free to express themselves whether you agree or disagree.

Just like how you like him people are free to express that they dont like him.

Its music discussion which is why its called a message board for a reason.

^But no one on here is refuting anything that anyone negative is saying. No one on here is arguing that JT is the second coming. Yet people continue to start JT threads to knock him.

I see your point

I made a similiar point a while back and folks told me not to go in their threads lol

Thats what people do here

They start a bunch of threads on an artist knowing that the artist is just going to get bashed. nuts

I dont understand it either. shrug

If people see a bunch of threads claiming JT is a genius or the best pop star of this generation on this Prince site., they naturally are going to bash but the people criticizing are not the ones making those threads... its the thread starters that instigates it.

There is hate for him on many forums, lipstick alley being the worst of it imo. I'm used to it lol Been a fan of him for 16 years now, it doesn't stop me from enjoying him. It's really the media that hypes him up.

Kids these days are no longer moved by messages they just accept and buy if its new and shiny. There is no real controversy or humanity in this music, its all image and acting. This crap is shoved in everyone's faces and we just accept it. Music doesn't sell but pretty does. And this kid has always been pretty. More Donny Osmond or even Elvis than Michael Jackson though, I feel.

The "best" pop stars were on the Mickey Mouse Club and the "best" pop rappers were child stars if you ask their publicists. To me it just shows how broke/out of real talent the supposed pop music industry is.

We're to blame for not letting ugly folks play good music these days. lol

it's an industry. industry is ment to produce a product to make money.

you're to blame for following the industry instead of seeking out alternative artist.

so people cant think he sucks because they really think he sucks? they have to be haters right.he's no different from all the other artists who have countless threads made about them, if fonts dont make threads why have a message board.since last month he has been shoved down the public's throat,you cant watch tv without his promo commercial/ad,ect coming on 10 times,hes on tv like everyday, so yeah the folks who dont like him is gonna express their dislike on the internet.

It's gotten so bad I've started migrating to jazz and boning up on some classic classical.

My point is there is very little to no Pro JT fans on this board. No one is calling him a genius on this site, there is no debate on the musical ability of Timberlake. Threads bout gaga, beyonce, madonna, etc have pros and cons, fans debating going back and forth.

No one is in JT's corner here. Yet numerous threads are made just to bitch bout him.

Hate the industy fine, but thats not anyone who is releasing music at fault thats the game not the player.

Theres always room for jazz and classical! Where images and words don't matter. Do I ever love floating away on some Debussy. Justin Timberlake is the new Claude Debussy hahaha. Genius indeed. How did Debussy even make music without a Mac? Its laughable to call both by the same general title.

This is gonna be a looong one. I am no fan of the Punk Ass Bitch known as Justin Timberlake. Not by a long shot. It amazes me that he has been a star for damn near 20 years now. Boy does time fly. I was a huge Nsync fan back in the day and while Justy was the most charismatic of the band, JC was the better singer. Talk about blue eyed soul, JC's got it and it's natural. Justin is forced. Don't get me wrong, does he like black music? Yes, I am sure he does. Has he appropriated it to the point where it feels like musical blackface? Fuck yeah.

The best work old boy ever did was with Pharrell. Not sure why they stopped working together. Suit and Tie is a whack ass song and there are rumblings to that effect on the net, but they are just that, rumblings. No one is gonna come for Timberlake, trust.

I think old boy has SOME talent, but not as much as people think. Problem is, compared to his generation, he stands out as talented. I give him props, because he has not self destructed, gone to rehab.

But at the end of the day, Punk Ass Bitch needs to sit down.

That's what makes me shake my head the most. lol I notice that some people really take offense to him being successful. You don't have to like him but some really go overboard with it. There is a difference with not being a fan and just plain obessive hate over him lol I was an Nsync fan first and I do notice most Nsync fans are mad that he made it instead of JC. JC was the better singer no doubt and I really wish he had a successful solo career as well but you can't blame Justin for that. I hate how Justin shades his boyband past though, really annoyed at him doing that lately. And then the other reason people (mostly black people) don't like him is of course because of the superbowl. I was pretty netural on that since i'm a janet fan and justin fan and really felt it was a stunt gone wrong.
