Thanks to Beyonce, Coldplay Snaps Adele’s Record-Breaking Streak at #1!

Congrats to them. I wonder if they’re gonna bring her out when they perform at the SuperBowl ?

I like Adele, Coldplay & Beyonce music…..i wish all 3 the best.

I just came in here to say that Columbus Short and Superhead are together–despite thr fact he’s still married. And she posted something about “our son” and the boy in the pic looks to be about 14 or so…

P.S. Columbus Short is a singer now. ??

I just read a playlist that a blogger posted to their IG page. I have not a clue how any of the songs sound on said playlist, because I’ve never heard one of them. The list was comprised of people such as Future and Young Thug. It’s not easy to see how and why white artists can dominate the charts when the Black music that is promoted and emphasized is about nothing of substance. “Trap music,” “trap queens,” butt shaking, materialism, etc. I grew up in the “Versace raps” era, so I know who is responsible for introducing materialism to rap. But these clowns today have taken it to an all new low. I only listen to a few rappers these days, and they’re underground. Everything else is probably 10 years old or older.

Please. Coldplay doesn’t’ need a collab with Beyonce to go to number one.

I notice his album is Dirty Sprite. If I am not mistaken, that’s Sprite with codeine stuff -promethazine (sp). Basically high music. Lil Wayne and the rest of the tattooed to filth click all look high af. I figure that’s who can relate to the music. Like he’s high, they’re high, nobody knows the words and it’s all good. If that’s not the case, I’m lost.

Coldplay has real fans that buy music and is a UK artist too (real music, real fans)! The Beyonce collaboration was a plus+, especially since they’ve joined forces with Tidal, but the band would have hit number 1 regardless. It’s not like the single hit like Adele’s Hello! Chris Martin has been working and promoting this album like crazy and he’s been everywhere in a low-key, in your face manner!

I used to like Wayne, but I haven’t been a listener/supporter of his since 2009/2010. His music fell way off. I suppose he hit a slump, in part, because he is tired and probably needs to do more than work. He deserves to have a life. He has been releasing albums since he was in his teens. He should be able to afford to take a hiatus and work on developing other artists rather than being everywhere and everything to everyone.

Future is not someone I understand, nor do I care to. He, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Rick Ross (post-“Hustlin’), Gucci Mane…they can all disappear. That Quan dude… Again, I don’t see it. I’m certain I’m not their demographic, and that’s fine. I just prefer work that is substantive. I always have.

I love MF Doom and Curren$y. I listen to them faithfully and will continue to support their projects. Beyond them, I’m not rushing off to Amazon or any retailers that sell CDs (because I still buy physical copies of albums when I buy them) to buy any of the current crop of rappers. I like Kendrick Lamar “Alright.” I’m not sure I’d like his entire body of work, but he has another song he is featured on that I really like, too.

Yes I did! And on this subject: Hip Hop is Dead. ?

Lol I went to a signing when that album came out. Almost asked him if I could have a piece of his hair lmfao.

Yes to everything you said. I like music that makes you think, laugh, dance, remember, etc. Drake has a couple I like. I made an exception for Rick Ross with Hold Me Back. That’s my ? when I have obstacles in front of me. But nobody has consistent jams like Outkast did. Even Usher lost his direction. SMH

Can’t listen to the song anywhere

I doubt that her “stans” are going to purchase a Coldplay album because she’s the featured artist on their record.

HA HA!!! I did that with Talib. I have hella photos from the same angle. Stuck on wide-eyed drool.

Preach, Tiny Bubbles! ?

Her son is 17. Columbus has been recording/singing for years. When people call themselves becoming a family, men sometimes refer to their stepchildren as their children. Kroy claimed Kim Zolciak’s children that aren’t biologically his, and later adopted them.

Don’t all women plot to get a man, dressing to the 9’s, bathing, giving all kinds of wild sex, pretending they care.

PER MEN

Like Granny said, do what you did to get them to keep them.

#word

She sang this last Saturday. I love this one.

I don’t know all men, but I don’t typically hear men complain about women plotting against them. I see men who need good women but can’t get or keep them because the men need work. I see good women who deserve good men but can’t find them, in some cases because the women are too willing to settle for anything rather than wait for the right thing/person.

We agree on something else. Cause I’m a music fanatic

Teena might have been a screamer. But that heffa OWNED that bass and slide guitar. I still love that Lover Girl video. Lil 110 pound woman danced that heavy ass guitar all around that stage. She was everything. Fire on the piano too.

I have a huge thing for female guitar players. Bonnie Raitt. Teena. Joan Jett. Tracy Chapman.

Chile I swear folks give Bey way too much credit…. Cold Play been selling albums Chile… Bey who?

Lisa, Meli’sa Morgan, Vesta, Jennifer Holliday (I Am Love)…we could be here all night!

Of course you don’t know all men. Thankfully I am blessed wother a wonderful husband. Unfortunately I’ve heard more than one man say women try and trap them because of what they have or think they have. The issue with folks they are honest about their expectations. This is just my opinion, I’m no Dr. Ruth or Ms. Vazant.

The same comments you’ve made about women apply to men. Golddiggers have no gender. They have no race. They are just entitled people who think that, when they’re with someone who has something, what that person has is also theirs.

Not sure what your husband or marital status have to do with this exchange, but I’m not here for grandstanding. One woman’s blessing is another woman’s curse. Good luck to you.

Lol

Ah. That Miso Soup. Emperor’s Delight out this bish. ?

Drank two of those Sayonara’s or a Sake flight for me!

Lol he did. Thank you again for the recommendation we enjoyed it ?

I will never forget the first time I heard Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” It was the wee hours of the morning and I was sitting on the sidewalk outside of Carson’s, waiting to buy tickets to Prince’s Lovesexy tour.

By the time Tracy’s song was over, I had tears in my eyes.

I’m also a fan Bonnie Raitt and Joan Jett. I’d also like to add Chrissie Hynde to that list!

YW? That is an OLD 919 special occasion institution. Many birthdays, promotions, everything been celebrated at that place. Just celebrated their 40th year last year. I luh them?

Everyone was like you going to see WHO ? back in October when I went to see Joan.

Joan Fugging Jett. And her Blackhearts. That’s who.

I will see you a Chrissie and raise you a Melissa Etheridge. She bad AF on the guitar too.

MC Lyte best female to EVER do it. I heard Paper Thin/Lyte As A Rock, and 11 year old me was changed forever. Fall 1988. I have tried to trace my love of hip hop back, and I always say I think that was it. The “moment”

Where’s your football for Sybil? ???

She did miss a few sprinkles out of this one. ?

No mention of cocktail lounge singer etc, and no mention of her being friends with his ex-wife.

I see Sybil

Dub20 getting took advantage of soon as her ass gets back to town tomorrow. Library card cancelling man is no more. For years that used to be his job *snorts*

Library card cancelling man…so funny that this is his description!

My sister used to get good money during the holidays wrapping gifts for family friends when she was a teenager. I hope y’all charged these people for your services. Because if y’all didn’t, Macy’s sure would have.

I don’t like wrapping lol but it’s his birthday so I obliged.

Lmao

Goodnight.

I’m officially ready to go see Jesus with Clemson ending as football Number 1. ? Clem-son. I’m so damn..stunned. Gn

I heart Salt & Pepa. I still listen to Hot, Cool & Vicious, with the OG Spinderella on the cover. I definitely wasn’t here to amass a catalog from the 60’s, but I am familiar with all of the artists you mentioned. I know Angie Stone was in Sequence because I lost a radio station contest where that was the answer. I lost due to age! I didn’t know she was in a group prior to Vertical Hold. ? Coincidentally, Spinderella was the one hosting the radio show! Lol

I’m not terribly familiar with Millie Jackson’s discography, but the “F*ck You Symphony” is pure brilliance. Black Sheep sampled it, which was the first time I recall hearing it. Ms. Jackson is really the godmother of hip-hop. Chaka Khan did a lot for hip-hop, too, c. 1980 when she released her self-titled album “Chaka.” She was rapping on the “Be Bop Medley, et al.” track. That is one of my favorite songs to date.

I think the first time I heard rap was when I was 8. It was a Run DMC song. I later bought a Heavy D & The Boyz tape. I grew up listening to heavy metal, rock, punk, new wave and the obligatory 80’s pop music. I studied classical violin after I discovered rap and really began appreciating orchestral arrangements in music (Claire Fisher was my favorite).

I know that’s right

But have they sold 3.4 million albums in 1 week? Um no

The British band’s latest album, A Head Full of Dreams, was released yesterday — and hit #1 just days after the group’s collabo with Beyonce hit the Internet.

Coldplay’s “Hymn for the Weekend”, featuring Bey, helped catapult Coldplay’s ‘Dreams’ past Adele’s 25 without looking back………

??????????

@Fendi……Good Morning, I saw what you did there “tiny bubbles” indeed.LOL

Good morning! ?

Chile …. See that demon Chile

Demon bye

I’m aware of how blended families work, just as I am aware that he is still married and she was JUST in a relationship (living with) with someone else not even a yr ago. I wonder how many “step dads” her child has had in his life.

LMAO NOBODY DONT NO WAT FUTURE TLK BOUT

LMAO U GOT ME CRYING

You know what I be thinking the same thing. Like I wish I would waste my time talking about someone I don’t like. People swear they grown but act so childish. If you don’t like someone shut your mouth.

Claire Fisher is a genius! I used to write songs and everything I know about composing strings, I learned from Fisher! I was introduced to Fisher’s work via Prince.

I’mma go buy it just cause… ???? lol

And yet these same folks tracking my comments ? now if that ain’t some foolishness…. Cause you give someone else credit over Bey…… Chile…..

It’s kind of crazy contributing this accomplishment to Beyonce’……..Coldplay has a HUGE following and I guarantee your fave lists them as one of their faves.

Yes, Deniece Williams, Melissa Morgan, Regina Bell etc..??????

Favorite Deniece Williams song: Strangers. Favorite Regina Belle song: Glitter/After the Love Has Lost Its Shine.

I don’t even like hello???

The music industry should be about DIVERSITY. Everybody does not have to sing the same or have the best voice. Leave that debate to the music industry experts who really know music.

I am still rebounding over The Ohio State

…

It’s the best song since we are the world, let these folks tell it.

Lmao who said it couldn’t be done?

In the mid 90’s, and GOD KNOWS I truly respect this man, but the richest person in hip hop, Puffy, single handedly crippled “real hip hop” and it hasn’t recovered since. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not personally saying Its a good or bad thing, like mother nature, she knows no good or evil, JUST BALANCE, it is what it is! Then after puffy mid 90s movement came other similar “flashy” acts to change the game completely. By the late 90s early 2000s you had a few acts like jay, em, and lauryn to try and revive hip hop, but even that wasn’t enough. I’m from the Atl, and rep my city all day, but once we got a hold of your so called “real hip hop”, we put it in a permanent coma with all of our dance rap songs. #leanwithit #walkitout #superman etc… No one, not even Drake or Kendrick could revive your “real hip hop” after that. In closing, in order to receive something, you must give something of yourself or sacrifice in return. Hip hop has given up some authenticity, but in return has provided nice lifestyles for many. Please be thankful for that atleast and keep it pushing.
