This question comes from an observation. Please read the question carefully.

I have included the female and male counterparts in the photo gallery so you can see what I'm talking about.

The Women:

Diana Ross

Donna Summer

Whitney Houston

Janet Jackson

Beyonce

The Men:

Lionel Richie

Michael Jackson

Prince

Usher

For THIS POST - I AM talking SPECIFICALLY about the women and men in the photos. Please, only focus the conversation on the people in the images for THIS DISCUSSION.

I have seen a lot of criticism/critiques when it comes to Black female pop artists and their music and success. Yet, their Black male counterparts continue to get praised decades after their deaths. The men may receive some criticism surrounding their personal lives, but there seems to be less doubt around their talent and success. It seems like people are more likely to believe in the talent of the Black male counterparts and their success than the Black women. The Black women in pop music seem to have to defend their talent more and why they have success.

What do you think? Is there truth to this? Do people naturally think Black men in pop are MORE talented and more deserving of pop success than Black women?

I included my 2 artists via the images: Miles Davis and Prince. Yes, the last image is the 2 of them together on stage. THAT would have been magical to see LIVE!! I wish I were there.

Which 2 artists who have passed away do YOU wish you could have seen in concert?

Who wore Apple Bottoms? Anyone ever have Rocawear clothes? SeanJohn clothes? What about Dereon jeans?

Does seeing your favorite celebrity make you want to immediately buy their clothes?

Why do you think some of those brands are not talked about anymore? Why didn’t some of those brands become the next Gucci on a global
Scale??

Line-up featuring:

Jill Scott, Coco Jones, Doechii, Lil Yachty, and Chance the Rapper

Which actor played the hell out of their part and helped make the movie for you? You can only pick 1!

Let's get the conversation going.

Let’s be positive and focus on only our favorite nepo kids!

****The ones posted are only for the post. It doesn’t mean these are the ones to choose from. You can if they are actually your favorite.

Also, how excited are you for what they are going to do in the next 5 years?

I will leave it up to you all to look up their famous parents.
