always the game has changed. Yeah. Because all bets are off.
These women are doing any and every damn thing on [music] stage and trying to sing too. And the ones who are doing the most physicalities [music] Yeah. with their butts and stuff, you know, and their body parts are the ones that usually are compensating [laughter] for what they don't have.
Shaka definitely won't bite her tongue. I remember one time a lady was trying to take a picture with her and you know how a lot of them try to show off their designer purses in a photo. This lady had this big old bag sitting on her lap trying to model this YSL purse or whatever it was.
She was trying to position that purse in the photo and Shaka Khan was like, "Put your purse down. That look crazy. " Turn this way.
Okay. beautiful screen. And it did look crazy.
Why are you trying to show off this purse in this photo instead of just focusing on taking a nice picture of yourself with Shaka Khan? Now, her concern was highlighting a raggedy purse all because it had a label on it. And Shaka Khan was like, "No, put that purse down.
That look crazy right to her face. " [music] And honestly, that was the correction that was needed. She didn't want the lady or herself looking crazy in the photo.
That should be considered being your sister's keeper. But yeah, that's one thing about her. She's always going to tell it like it is.
And it is what it is. What do you think is missing from some of today's music? Talent.
Even 7 years ago, she noticed what a lot of people could also see. The new R&B music that was coming out, the new [music] artists, they weren't the same. And now nearly a decade later, you're seeing more decline while also dealing with more sensitive, clueless people because you have to be clueless to be sitting up here calling a five to six decade legend jealous of new artists for telling the truth.
Yeah. A lot of these flamingos on social media, that's what they're saying about Shaka Khan's comments in a new interview. Oh, and the way the game has changed.
Yeah, because all bets are off. M these women are doing any and every damn thing on stage and trying to sing too. And the ones who are doing the most physicalities Yeah.
with their butts and stuff, you know, and their body parts are the ones that usually are compensating for what they don't have. Where's the lie though? Not one lie told.
And that's the part the snowflakes on social media had a problem with. At least one of the issues in the interview, which really wasn't an issue to me at all. It's the truth.
You have a lot of these artists today out here with no talent. They really can't sing. So, what do they do?
They do the most for attention. They get the BBLs and have all the surgeries to try to entertain with a BBL body because they really don't have talent for real. You go to their concerts, they have magic city poles up, they're falling [music] out of chairs, can't even walk on stage, they can't rap, they can't sing.
They just flop these saggy BBLs all over the place, telling jokes while being the joke. All to distract the audience so they don't realize they can't [music] sing, rap, or whatever they're pretending to do on stage. Now, when Shaka Khan was talking about people not having talent, she wasn't talking about women like the ones here.
[music] Nah, she wasn't talking about them. Deborah Cox, Faith Evans, two of my favorite voices from the '90s. Faith was and still is everything.
Same for Deborah Cox. Super talented. Shaka Khan wasn't talking about them.
Or artists like Whitney Houston, which was a number one voice to me. We're talking about a voice and talent that you cannot deny. and new artists of this decade and even last decade.
There is no way you can compare these artists to that real authentic talent. You have the younger generation really thinking that Siza, Summer Walker, and Kehlani can be compared to Whitney Houston, Kelly Price, Deborah Cox, or even Fantasia. Sorry, but never.
This is why they have to fill their bodies with [music] tattoos. I don't know what circus of confusion Keelhani is going around running or BBL's like Siza and Summer Walker to compensate for what's obviously missing and calling a 50 plus year vet really legend. I'm talking about Shaka Khan, somebody that's [music] been singing these songs for 50 to 55 years to call her jealous for pointing out the truth is crazy.
The lack of talent, the lack of artist development, and overall poor performance and poor quality. Not to mention, they want fans to put a higher value, a higher price tag on these new artists, paying $100, $200 for these shows and more just [music] to see these people. That's premium pricing compared to the seasoned legends, the real talent.
So, no, none of this Shaka backlash is adding up for me. And she's 100% right. Is Shakan a hater?
Let's talk about how the through the fire singer is saying ain't nobody told none of today's pop singers that they got anything when it comes to the vocals department. In a recent interview, the legendary Shaka Khan did not hold back any punches when asked how she felt about today's pop artist. Miss Khan said, and I quote, "She is not impressed.
" And you already know that women of a certain age, especially black women of a certain age, are not known to hold any punches. And she also added 20 on 10 when she said that these women are doing any and every damn thing on stage and trying to sing. She also put a little bit of extra on top of that and added that their butts and stuff and other body parts are compensating for what they don't have.
The reason why you cannot argue with what Shaka Khan said is cuz not only is Shaka Khan correct that the singers think that, you know, the fact that they nice looking and got bodies is just supposed to carry them into having a good career or just saying that their music is good. Like if people buying music because of that one song and you look good is crazy. Also, somebody said, "Is Shakhan a hater?
" You don't even need to ask that question. What Shaky Khan got to hate for? She sang better than them.
Them been revered as a better singer than most of these singers today and in the past. Baby, she did she does what the singer is trying to do now to an elite level because let me think about this. Not only was she able to sing, let me get a little shady real quick.
Not only was she able to sing, she was fine at all sizes. We done watched her get she was skinty when she came out. She was She had abs of steel, body yada yachty, curvy, plump, plus-siz BBW, big girl, back down to small and fine.
And and just always been fine though. Okay. High as a goddamn kite and still giving vocals.
Okay. When I say high, I mean. [singing] Yeah.
But still giving vocals. Live vocals. Baby, these girls ain't her cuz they be high and then be forgetting the word.
Someone girl, at least you could do is my thing is we could all if you could just hit you a little Duran Bernard when you don't know the words. [singing] Like these girls ain't giving even that like when they forget the words or even if they know the words, they still mumbling. and like pissing me off.
It's pissing me off. At the end of the day, a lot of people don't want the truth. They want comfort.
There's a growing tendency to praise everyone equally, even when the effort or outcome isn't equal. The talent isn't equal. But listen, when everything is treated as above average, the idea of excellence starts to lose its meaning.
Real excellence requires standards and the ability to recognize when something truly stands out. If we blur those lines and validate everything the same way, we lose the ability to distinguish what is exceptional from what is merely acceptable or even below average. That's why overall quality, especially in areas like music, appear like it's declined.
Not only has talent disappeared, but the standards for recognizing and rewarding excellence have been lowered, ignored, or replaced with a need for constant validation. The truth is, these artists are only concerned with being magic city girls. They promote 304 culture and they have adopted the wardrobe, hairstyles, all of that from strippers and drag queens, but they still want the same respect, support, and praise as the talented women before them.
It also doesn't help that awards like the Grammys, they're praising these same untalented people, giving them awards when they don't even have talent. But I digress. Let's go ahead and get the conversation started.
Tell me what you think about this below. Got to send a special thank you to Rob P. I appreciate you, Rob, for all of your support for the channel.
Shout out to Elmer, Dark Power, and Creed. Now, Creed's late mom, she was an AKA, and he definitely dropped a message agreeing that a lot of the older legacy aka, they would not agree or be in support of the behavior or the caliber of a lot of the women they're picking today. If you missed my last video about the AKA drama featuring Trick Daddy after they had a conference in Orlando, Florida, and invited not only Trick Daddy, but Uncle Luke and JT [music] Money, and then got upset and cut off Trick Daddy's mic in the middle of his performance when he started Trick Daddy.
Yeah, a whole mess. [music] In that video, I also discussed the wannabe city girl mayor. Her name is Tiffany, too.
She's over the AKA's down there, and she's running for Orange County mayor. So, it's a whole big mess. Go ahead and check out that video clip right here next.
