		Let’s see… She can’t find a good man worth a damn. Self-destructive substance habits. Parties too much. Needs love, settles for sex. Always dipped in gaudy apparel. Loud. Daddy complex.

&amp;nbsp;but he &amp;nbsp;rushed to save that irresponsible white country trash Brittany Spears. &amp;nbsp;What about Whitney Houston she was dogged out! &amp;nbsp;She had talent and she was dissmised when she was going through issues. &amp;nbsp;Brittany has prove that the only talent she has is stripping around a pole half naked. &amp;nbsp;I also agree with the heath ledger/pimp c issue a little black men glorify the scarface/godfather/newjack city drug dealing, crime commiting lifestyle becauase it seems cool and wild. &amp;nbsp;Black men need to start taking responsibity for their women, children, and their life. &amp;nbsp;But they never really had to either(see reason 1!) black people will always be on the bottom of the totem pole as long as keep up uor materialistic ways. </description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19283012</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:29:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19283012</guid><dc:creator>lchelle125</dc:creator><description>also amy whine house sux ass. &amp;nbsp;she cannot sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19283143</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:00:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19283143</guid><dc:creator>musakfool87</dc:creator><description>Black Canseco, I've never heard somebody bitch so much in my life. &amp;nbsp;BOO-HOO, a white girl is famous even though she has problem. BOO-HOO if it were a black girl she wouldn't be as famous. You're wack. &amp;nbsp;How are you going to tell me that Back to Black and Frank are &amp;quot;nice&amp;quot; albums? You know what a &amp;quot;nice&amp;quot; album is Jill Scott's recent album. &amp;nbsp;Back to Black was probably the best album by a female soul singer to come out ever since Lauryn dropped Miseducation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You're sitting there with steam coming out of your head because a black artist didnt win as many awards as she did. Why are you bringing race into her success? &amp;nbsp;In Europe, they dont look at peoples skin color. &amp;nbsp;So all you're really doing is being racist by saying she can get away with anything because shes white instead of focusing on the talent. This lets me know two things: (1) you dont know good music when you hear it and (2) you are probably one of the biggest haters ive ever heard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Putting all her drug habits aside, she brought back the soul sound better than alot of artists have before. &amp;nbsp;Instead of making one song sounding like it was Motown and then making a club record, the whole album had backgroup of old school soul music. &amp;nbsp;Shes an excellent song writer and a great vocalist. &amp;nbsp;And she happens to be white. &amp;nbsp;WHO CARES!!! Get over it!

At that time I was unaware of her problems and was blown away by her talent. It's too bad she and her music became more popular from the drama. The music is good or it's not, race and issues aside. </description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19294271</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:26:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19294271</guid><dc:creator>bigchief206</dc:creator><description>I think race is a factor. Race is always a factor in everything we do in this society and we can't continue to deny that. That's how we always get ourselves in trouble. This nation is so worried about covering it's indiscretions. Making race taboo. We're not all the same and regardless what the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence say we're not all created equal. We are all endowed with the same human rights but civil rights which we as black people constantly fight for are up to the governments discretion that's why we're never going to get them. And Whites are privileged enough to have them. That being said...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Would Eminem get the acclaim he gets if he was Black? Would he get the record sales? Just picture Em Black, if you whites listen to Em actually listen to him instead of hear him he admits it in the song &amp;quot;White America&amp;quot; that he knows he wouldn't be where he was at if he was Black. He wouldn't because there are many who should have gotten and deserved more sales than him and more acclaim based on the music. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All the writer was trying to say is that if Amy Winehouse was Black she wouldn't get the same acclaim. That's all. Erykah Badu is light years ahead of Amy Winehouse where's her love? Erykah Badu does soul. I don't know what Amy Winehouse does.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Entertainment in this society is based on the Band Wagon fallacy. It's great because some self ordained music critic says it's great, the source gave it 5 mics, the movie got 5 stars, Ebert and Roper gave it Two thumbs up. Would she even be listened to if it wasn't for the critics riding this whack ass album? The music never speaks for itself in this society. We watch a movie listen to music with greatness already in mind. Sometimes thats a bad thing but sometimes it helps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Amy Winehouse does Black sounding music and is a White face the fact is if she was Black she wouldn't get the same acclaim. Just like Mariah Carey same thing. She can pass for White. I think Amy Winehouse gets so much acclaim also because she makes music that isn't necessarily pop. It's a change of pace from Brittney Spears and anything else any other White girl is doing besides Joss Stone. It's mostly race I don't wanna hear this &amp;quot;It's all about the music bull shit.&amp;quot; Because it isn't. The music has a little bit to do with it. And plus her music isn't that good. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;	&lt;br&gt;She Luv Me Long Time: I guess having an opinion is hating. I guess all you people calling the people who dislike Amy Winehouse's music are hating on us for having an opinion. Calling someone a hater is the mating call of the unintelligent mind. Instead of arguing why she's so great you demean the people who dislike her music, especially after we profess that we've heard the album. Get over it she's not that dope to me. If you like her good. Write her a letter or something. What makes her music soul? I don't get it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;	&lt;br&gt;musakfool87 &amp;quot;in Europe they don't look at people's skin color.&amp;quot; That was a foolish statement. Do you live in Europe? I don't live in Europe but I'm abreast to the news. There is large scale rise in Neo-Nazism in Europe. Racism is growing there but oh Europe is exempt from racism for some reason especially since the White people here didn't come from Europe and we don't live in the citadel for racism. Ask Arabs and the minute Black populations in Europe about racism. &lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19295321</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:55:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19295321</guid><dc:creator>musakfool87</dc:creator><description>I think the fact that you are blaming things on race is stupid. &amp;nbsp;The girl is talented point blank. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Her music isnt that good&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;You're trippin. &amp;nbsp;Its quite obvious you havent listened to her whole album with unbiased ears or listen to her album at all. &amp;nbsp;She brought back the complete sound of old school music. &amp;nbsp;Not alot of artists are doing that and taking the chance to be different. &amp;nbsp;And yea Erykah is extremely talented but she hasnt put a full album out since Mama's Gun. &amp;nbsp;And shes a change of pace period not with whites but i guess also with blacks. &amp;nbsp;Whos putting soulful music out like that lately. &amp;nbsp;Damn sure aint Beyonce and like i said it isnt Erykah. &amp;nbsp;Jill Scott kind of lost me on this new joint she has out. &amp;nbsp;Artists like Amy and Chrisette Michele should be commended from making music that is different from the rest. &amp;nbsp;Furthermore, if she was a black artist you probably wouldnt be complaining and this editorial probably wouldnt have been made. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19295351</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:58:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19295351</guid><dc:creator>musakfool87</dc:creator><description>and there is no such thing as &amp;quot;black sound music&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Its soul music and if anybody can sing and wants to sing it then let it be. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>re: The Victimhoodization Of Amy Winehouse</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/editorial/archive/2008/02/12/19281647.aspx#19361406</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:44:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19361406</guid><dc:creator>Enig</dc:creator><description>I dont know if its been stated yet but I feel Amy should &amp;quot;shit or get off the pot&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;kick the habit or die already&amp;quot;. I loved her album and I dont really get why the author kept comparing her and Blige, Mary's divine voice hasnt done the same kind of R&amp;amp;B Amy does. I wish Mary would get the Dap Kings and do a tour but till then...&lt;br&gt;Sharon Jones is the only one you listed that I can see your point as being valid, the have the same band do the same kinda music and similar sound... but Amy blew up first so theres a major part of why she doesnt get the same recognition. &lt;br&gt;Overall I dont think Amy's whiteness is the reason we think shes great, I didnt know she was white when I first heard her album and DAMN sure didnt know she was british. Good music is good music, stop hating</description></item></channel></rss>
