I have to jump in and defend Monica because it's frustrating to see the black artists not getting the respect and support they deserve!!!! Monica is a vet in the r&b game and I have always respected her art and music. I haven't been a huge fan of hers but I do acknowledge what she has done in music. People need to stop making fucking excuses and support the music and stop being idiots and think for themselves. This is why the music industry is a FAILURE. I need for people to wake the fuck up and look at what's going on. The white artists are able to sell records but the black artists are struggling to get the same recognition and acknowledgement!!!!! I have bought a few r&b albums that are great bodies of work over the past few years. For example, Brandy 2/11, Keyshia Cole Woman To Woman, Tamar's both albums Love And War, Calling All Hearts. I mean it's ridiculous how these albums are overlooked because of the music industry's bullshit! Those albums are real and heartfelt r&b music!!!!! It's disturbing to see how people really don't appreciate the music and instead of supporting they would rather download or just support mediocre bullshit. Seriously, things need to change and Monica will get my support! She's been slaying me and I feel like she deserves the success. #CodeRed
