But Rih stans don't try to bring up a feature as a way to qualify our faves relevance, Xtina stans do. So

bye.

Yes, because the Rihanna stans don't bring up the fact that she has more #1s than Madonna, and her high #1 count in general.

Bye.

Moves Like Jagger isn't Xtina's song botty...

The industry counts it as a #1 for her. Fortunately, you and the other girls who try to come for the queen's wig are noT the industry. So you can cease fire~

FlopJuice did an interview with Bangladesh. Yet ANOTHER producer/writer calling out Beyoka for her thieving ways and PRAISING GODNEY for not stealing credits.

TGJ: Now, switching gears a bit, there’s often a lot of talk about writing credits, producer credits, etc. How much truth is there to all of that talk (i.e. giving up credits) and have you ever been on the receiving end of this?

Bangladesh: Man, that’s the game and that’s just how it is. You got to be a big artist when you can ask and demand something like that, but it happens. It’s not always a bad thing though because sometimes producers give beats away to no-name artists too (for no credit).

Then, sometimes if it’s an Usher or Beyonce type of act, you’re ok with giving it away because if they sing over your song, they’re going to bring great attention to it Producers don’t mind giving CERTAIN artist the credit. But, it’s mostly African Americans that do that kind of stuff. I hate to say it, but it’s true. I know people that have written for Britney Spears and different people that are in the pop world, and they don’t ask for that kind of stuff. Britney don’t ask for shit. If you wrote it, you just wrote it. She sings it and leaves.

It’s dog eat dog out there man. And, I’m sure there are some pop acts who demand full credit, but I’m just speaking from experiences I’ve had or heard about.

I don't know why you guys act like the Carter's are a disgrace to the black community or something just because there are all these receipts piling up...

Why can't the queen just rule? ;_____;

I don't see how that is racist, but I guess anything can be considered "racist" if you reach far enough.

If it wasn't racist then why did he bring up the race of the people who do it often?

If the guy who said that believes there is no racial connection, then why did he make one?

Maybe because it's a fact?

Words have meaning, botty. People say things because they want to get a message across.

What other message does "it’s mostly African Americans that do that kind of stuff" get across besides saying that black people are prone to stealing credits?

We all know if it was white people instead no connection would have been made.

this is what i thought. he could have simply said "acts like usher and beyonce who ..." why bother saying that it's only african americans who do it? why make that generalization? ._.

"The problem with [Gaga] is obviously that I'm busy and I tour a lot, but she's probably a lot busier than I am, so it's hard to find time to work on something together," he said. "So we've been working on it for over a year now. There's still a lot of work left, so we're definitely gonna work on this project for the next month."

Or maybe just maybe the only ones they recall stealing are mostly the black artists they worked with?


I didnt even see that part about the African Americans thing until y'all said something lol

That last line kind of contradicts the point you're trying to make, and supports what I said. Depending on who is being mentioned things are "always" racist. If he said mostly white people do it, then I doubt anyone would have yelled racism.

He didn't say "only" African Americans, though.

No one would have to yell racism because he wouldn't have mentioned their race if they were white.

ch... It's not a secret that people apply actions of some minorities to the entire group.

Taylor Swift has dated all of the world's pretend boyfriends and now it's time for her to watch those relationships burn.

This glass-encased pillar candle shows off all the faces of Taylor's latest loves, from the handsome to the similarly named to the Kennedy, atop the quote, "You are the best thing that's ever been mine," from one of those songs she wrote about some 14-year-old she got frozen yogurt with one time in Cape Cod.

It costs 8 bucks.

I agree that the way he phrased it is a little...problematic. But I dunno. Bangladesh himself is black. Maybe he was trying to highlight a cultural difference in approach. Eh...

She better take her time and create a flawless album.

Then again, if it turns out not so good, I'll only hate her for it.

i'm expecting a flawless album after all this waiting *_*

considering how hard gaga seemed on herself after BTW era ended, i'm guessing she's making sure the album will be amazing.
