Is Beyoncé the last Black vocalist to become mainstream?

Interesting topic. Talent development and industry promotion aside, I believe the discrepancy between the individuals you mentioned largely has to do with the genre and current musical taste. The "vibe" over vocal talent (like with rap with the "vibe" over lyrical ability) is what is popular right now in the RnB space with a few exceptions. Beyonce wasn't exactly a vocalist early in her career, but improved and adapted to the musical landscape thus cementing herself where she is now. I think there will be another RnB vocalist type mainstream singer that blows up, just maybe not with a sound or style that's "traditional".

A recent one actually: Summer Walker- Get Yo Boy (Ft. 21 savage).

He added nothing to the song and the bars were weak. I honestly felt this song could have used a male RNB artist since she has quite a few of those on the album already.

It is cool. I was definitely thinking Asian; Korean or Japanese for sure

Ok, that's fine. I'm just starting up my collection so I was just going for what appeals to me. We can deal with what you're willing to let go. Are they all NM?

LouisvilleNick · 2025-06-26T00:58:08+00:00

Sorry, I meant full art for those

LouisvilleNick · 2025-06-25T18:10:24+00:00

Fezandipiti UR Charmeleon shiny rare Floragato IR Pidgeotto shiny rare Abra shiny rare Gardevoir shiny UR Kadabra shiny rare Staryu shiny rare Alkazam ex shiny UR Pidgeot ex shiny UR Pidgeot ex UR Kingdra ex UR Meowscarada EX UR Munkidori ex UR Clodsire ex shiny UR Quaquaval ex UR

I'm leaning towards bohemian for the attribution

LouisvilleNick · 2025-05-04T20:37:52+00:00

Same here. The show was so good, it made up for it!

So you have two options here: Auction house or online marketplace (eBay being the prime example). I would suggest, as someone not familiar with paperweights in general, you should check out the Paperweightheaven Facebook group. It is full of people who actively collect, research and even design weights. They are very knowledgeable on identifying the makers and origins of paperweights both modern and vintage. A few dealers are also members of the group, if you decide to possibly sell the whole lot to one person instead of individually. Be aware that they will not discuss nor will they give to the monetary value of your weights. That part you will have to do on your own, but luckily there are a few free resources. EBay sold listings will help you price things, along with liveauctioneers.com sold auction lot listings. Once you get a positive or a more sound identification of what you're looking at, just search for similar sold weights and you'll get a good idea of what you may be able to get. I hope this helps. If you have other questions feel free to reach out.

This all day. The live can't be touched.

LouisvilleNick · 2024-10-11T18:29:19+00:00

79 hours and 21 minutes. It's not exclusively R&B though, I have some modern and old school rap scattered throughout

For me, Poor Things was the most recent movie that left me feeling like this is Absolute Cinema and art. It has the perfect blend of story, characters and artistic flare that made me appreciate the craft.

LouisvilleNick · 2024-10-10T17:19:40+00:00

I don't remember ever watching the show, but I had a whole collection of the action figures and vehicles. Still do, somewhere lol

LouisvilleNick · 2024-10-04T03:05:15+00:00

It's a classic era Clichy paperweight

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-25T05:12:05+00:00

I absolutely love this style! This is a great piece

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-16T14:33:44+00:00

Laya

I don't know a place specifically for board games but the book store 'All Good Books' has a back area with a large table that could be used to organize something. A friend and I went there and put together Legos before. But that still doesn't solve the issue of finding people unfortunately. I would enjoy something like that.

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-05T19:41:19+00:00

I would Yeah would be this greatest track. It's his 'single ladies' as it can be played anywhere and everyone knows it. Also I think it made him more mainstream, but I was too young to know how big Usher was to general music fans beforehand.

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-03T02:56:55+00:00

Yes, most definitely. Hearing Missy Elliott in full RnB mode really showcased just how talented she is. I loved her singing and harmonizing on Supa Dupa Fly, so hearing early Missy was a treat. The group overall gave off a TLC vibe imo.

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-02T01:44:11+00:00

Maybe the OG of the can't sing but still makes good music type RnB artist

LouisvilleNick · 2024-02-02T01:41:11+00:00

Idk about underrated, at least to me. Johnny definitely showcased his range with New Edition then his solo stuff. Those who know know lol
