    i think you're incorrect. i think niggas in the know would make that distinction.

    the words you used were "did nothing for her career." it's not a big deal to say more life and jorja's involvement with drake introduced her to a wider audience. that's simple logic and not a slight to jorja at all.

    to say that she’s living off her drake co-sign is crazy though lmao

    Crazy to think that Drake wasn't the only person paying attention to the UK scene pre-2017

    i mean surely she's not hanging on to Drake by any means, it's been years and she still has listeners and supporters

    idk about any other posts but i made sure to word my last few very specifically because i'd never say that lol

    the point is it doesn't have to be either extreme that them niggas were tryna get across. drake gave her a good look and that's that.

    I feel you. I exaggerated, but still she's not living off that Drake co-sign.

    we've agreed on that from the start.

    Why you b****es always gotta bring up Tinashe? This thread has nothing to do with her!

    Plus Tinashe put out one of the best albums of the year - 333 - and she is touring.

    Bro exposed himself 💀

    She makes good music

  • Sep 28, 2021

    At least she had one great album

    She’s the female Dave East

    I’ve seen this comparison before and it’s honestly true

    men be having trouble with women artist in general so that ain’t surprise me too bad.

    it be sooo weird seeing how other women hate on her though. like they be going harder than the guys. it’s crazy lmao

    Cause they feel like she can’t sing and that she only hyped in general because of her light skinned looks

    Thank you! It's so easy to understand but they will flip it and make her the victim for being lightskin when in reality she only has a career because of her skin tone!

    I wanna clarify that her voice isn't terrible but it's not great either. In general her music isn't good enough to keep her afloat, it's her looks.

    How do you guys assess her talent?
    Singing?
    Songwriting?
    Songmaking?

    Etc. etc.

    If she's just missing the mark on by a little, give her time to grow. Most of the best artists don't make their best music until after 25/26. We're been spoiled/blessed tbh by the likes of Stevie, Nina Simone etc.
    Beyonce's music for example didn't turn seriously good imo until B-Day. She was 25. If Jorja isn't making good music in her late 20s then yea she's a baaaaaad woman with marketable talent

    First album was really good. Last album flopped.

    Where's the privilege

    She's universally attractive so people follow and post her just like her IG model/thot/fake influencer, she just happens to make music so the music blogs also cover her

    Thread is unneeded

    Her singing is average. It sounds like a knock-off Any Winehouse with weird cursive pronunciation.

    Her songwriting is mature for her age.

    Her song making ability is very inconsistent. She's made a couple really good songs but most of her music is mediocre.

    She has one album and one EP out so far. Neither are amazing. If her next album doesn't pop she should consider opening an onlyfans account.
