Lets be honest, now a days the music worlds is full of
BS. Some of the BS we tolerate for the
purpose of keeping the party going, or the tears flowing. While they are
certain songs that are useless to us now, there are certain artists who haven’t
been able to live up to the hype that they have generated with their first hit.
Here are just a few artists that nobody would really miss if they fell off.
5.Tyga
 |
| Better seen, not heard.. you know if tatted up, Chris Brown look-a-likes are your thing |
His hit Rack
City (2013) drew just enough hype for him to be taken seriously. Everything
he has put out as of recently has been enough to draw a casual head nod. But
just like everybody else on Young Money, (excluding Drake and Nicki Minaj),
when Lil Wayne’s flame went out, he took the rest of his signed rappers into
the freezer with him. Tyga made a feature on a few major songs, but his verse
always seems to pop up when you think the song is over. And after hearing
Tyga just ramble about hoes and money for a few seconds, you kinda wished the
song would have ended a minute ago. All
of his verses sound like the vulgar thoughts of the typical male ego and lord
knows nobody needs to hear that.
4.Ciara
 |
| Style, Beauty, Moves....musical talent? not so much |
-Huuuh CiCi. Every
other year Ciara comes up scrapes up all the talent she has in her, to
entertain us with another song. We watch the video to see what contorted dance
moves she has made up, the song gets some airtime for about a month….and then
we’re done. Ciara has been trying to convince us that she can sing for years,
she even made a cable movie called Mama
I Want to Sing (2011), to even try to convince herself to no avail. Ciara is more entertaining to look at than
she is to hear. She would be more respected as a choreographer, or a model. She
could even dip her hand in song writing, assuming she writes any of her songs,
but as a singer? After 6 years and 2 hits, it’s kinda time to hang it up.
3. Future
 |
| Better seen,not heard....hmm I'm sensing a pattern here |
 |
| Hey, at least they look good. |
- When your
engagement to another D-list celebrity draws more hype than your album, it’s
time for a change. Yes, we jigged to Tony
Montana (2012) for a while, and Same
Damn Time (2012) got the club going, no doubt about that, but really if we
never heard Future’s voice again, would the party stop? No. Similar to his 4th
baby momma, Ciara, Future is a lot better to look at than he is to be heard.
Future sounds like he’s drowning and Ciara sings like she dying a horrible,
painful death half the time. I don’t know if making subpar music is what
brought them together, but if these two got married and locked themselves in a mansion and were never heard from again,
they wouldn’t be missed. Fortunately for them (and Future’s 3 other baby
mommas) having a mediocre music career plays well.
2. Big Sean
 |
| And again... I can look at him all day |
-It kinda hurt to add this one to the list but once again, if
your engagement to another D-list celebrity draws more attention than your
album, someone isn’t doing their job. Now Big Sean is probably the only one on
this list who actually has the talent to be removed. Not sure if it is shotty management or Kanye's GOOD Music label has inherited Diddy's Bad Boy label curse. What ever it is Big Sean isn't quite as big as he should be.
He has all the makings to be a hip hop legend. Good word play, endorsement by a hip hop
legend, and moderately good looks, but for some reason, something isn't catching on. On paper, Big Sean has a
verse on pretty much all the major hits of this generation, but his generally
good verses are easily overlooked. Hopefully that flop of an album he released
recently won’t be the end of him.
1. Keyshia Cole
 |
| Better seen....nah, nevermind |
- Keyshia
managed to resurrect R&B with her first couple albums. Even if you didn’t
like her music, her reality show made you feel bad enough for her to buy it.
But once the sympathy wore off, people realized she sounded like a dying cat.
Keyshia was supposed to be the next Mary J Blige but once all of her songs
started sounding the same, we gave up on that dream, leaving Keyshia’s
next 2 albums in the clearance bin at Walmart. People blame her marriage to
Daniel Gibson for her musical down fall, because of course no one wants to hear
happy R&B music. But since a typical
Hollywood divorce is anticipated for the two of them soon, maybe people will
feel bad enough for her to buy her albums again.
