As Prince said "When your like 40 and pulling out body parts, it's old skin" in these times so much has been done that nothing is shocking and none of in reality gains any real fans, it just gets you likes and clicks and people forget you thirty minutes later.

and yet,you know you wanna see a sexy pic of Cardi B. wearing nothing but a smile lol


but with this approach you are not doing anything memorable, if Cardi B takes a pic with her chest busting out, there are about a thousand other girls on Instagram doing it too, so you are not unique and it is done for likes and clicks. Just like how everyone goes to the gym, I'd say for about 95% of those people it's a battle to look better to take pics for your page etc...going to the gym has nothing to do with people wanting to be healthy, as you can see from the USA being leaders in COVID deaths, we are sick country that thinks a gym gets you healthy lol .

This exactly, it’s for some kind of validation or gratification

She did, but I was too young to know the details then lol I guess it’s her choice but it doesn’t take away from her music

If people want to post photos like that on their Instagram or whatever, that's their business. But it's a different thing if someone hacks a celebrity's personal photos and leaks them on the internet. That isn't good at all.

I was around for the Madonna Sex book. I mostly remember that it was reported that people who bought it were complaining that the covers would fall off. On the Girlie Show tour, Madonna had one of the Fly Girls (Carrie Ann Inaba) from In Living Color as one of her dancers and she was topless at the beginning. Many celebrities have done nude or semi-nude professional photo shoots in the past. They tend to be kinda artsy though, like those Ohio Players album covers. Marilyn Monroe is one of them. There's also the famous Burt Reynolds photo.

lol

Nope. Shaved men look like fucking mutants. Hair grows for a reason, on men and women. It's one thing to trim his pubes a bit. It's quite another to shave his body down so he looks like a 45 year old child.

One chick just got called out for posting a nude photo of herself when she was 3 years old, or some BS(TF ?? disbelief ) And tyga, tger or whatever his name is, made a fuss awhile back. Some people were enamored at the size of his d**K. eek

None of this is actually new lol. Before the social media era artists were doing half naked to full naked album covers, Prince is a good example of this.

You millennials make me laugh lol. Any boomer or Gen X folks will know what I'm talking about. You sound young OP

I know even mj and prince have been naked, but that was part of their art, not for the purpose of getting likes on social media, cause ultimately it is for getting a high count of likes


Michael Jackson being naked has nothing to do with his art lol! Michael was never known to pull some crazy stunt like that, it wasn't part of his character to go full naked.

Prince was and when LoveSexy was out then it was controversial due to the cover

Not that young just cause I don’t agree with it on social media. It’s just that when it comes to an album, video or cover it’s expected at times, but more like unexpected on social media

Dude please, I saw your recent post and you said you weren't alive when Lennon died.

With Prince people my era knew it was something he was going to pull off, he was known for looking half naked back then from 80-84 and then 88 he did.

Haha I guess I’m one of the younger ones on this board then, was born in 83. And with prince and other artists it was expected, on social media, not really expected though it happens

What do you mean? Didn't Kim Kardashian became really famous from a tape with Brandy's brother on social media? Now the Kardashian family are always mentioned in the media and became millionaires/billionaires. Anyway what's the difference in the social media pictures and singers/actresses in the past posing in Playboy magazine?


You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Well kim isn’t a musician nor talented, she got famous from her tape, but I don’t keep up with her though it didn’t surprise me when I heard she posed naked or semi naked a few times. But with musicians I’m not really expecting it on social media, maybe I’m just naive
