    Examples

    MJ and Prince - Beatles and Elvis
    Whitney and Janet - Celine and Madonna
    Jay/Nas - Eminem
    Boys II Men and Jodeci - N’Sync n Backstreet B
    Beyonce and Usher - Britney n Timberlake
    Chris Brown - Justin Beiber
    Frank Ocean - Taylor Swift

    The talent scale is disproportionate on one side, yet the level of success on the right side rivals and even supplants the other. How long will this continue? Will there ever be balance on both sides to where white artists are pushed to match the level of musical excellence as their black counterparts?

    what was the point of this thread

    I’m curious to live in a time where most of the white artists popular aren’t plagued by mediocrity and exceed their black peers in musical talent/skill.. by the majority.
