Like I said waaaay above... we havent waited long enough to see the what bruno/childish albums will inspire... there could be an 18 year old digging into years of black music and synthesizing it as we speak...

I was making a point that as it stands it will be extremely rare. Might be more likely to get a father mc heavy d type rapper than straight pop r&b singer

>Anderson Paak


What I am still trying to say is that paak's success will come from smashing the lane he is creating. He is already on tour with bruno... already on Ellen.. he doesnt NEED to attempt a pivot into Bruno's lane.

Nah.. Read the statement below.. any number of dudes can acheive Buno success. They just WONT do it attempting to play in Bruno's lane.

There are decades of black music to mine and reinterpret someone will find something new to flip ALWAYS. If you want to have stadium filling success it cannot come from being second fiddle in a lane.

Since Rihanna ascended to pop stardom... you have only had one black woman do the same... Nicki Minaj... That's ONE in 12 years.. so now there are 3 black women who can sell out an arena... THREE! Thats how hard shit is..

Now on the flip side there are multiple men who Have achieved that in the same time. They are all rappers (and chris) ... so I agree with you it 100% can happen for a guy...
Just not in the same lane... I would make this same argument for Drake, Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye as well... not just Bruno

Chance will most likely be doing stadiums his next run... and it'll be because he played HIS lane not Drakes or Kendricks
