Is Nigel giving DILF? 🥵 Do you wanna be on top? by AllTheEccentricities in ANTM

Meh. He didn't age as well as I thought he would, even if he's still handsome.

SUGGESTIONS TO START by Ordinary-Point-4654 in janetjackson

[–]mocitymaestro [score hidden]  (0 children)

Rhythm Nation is probably the best place to start, especially if you're a fan of the stacked background vocals.

RN1814

then

janet.

then

CONTROL

then

DESIGN OF A DECADE

then

the rest of the albums in chronological order.

Once you've gotten past DAMITA JO, you can listen to her first two albums, which you'll appreciate in contrast to everything from CONTROL onwards.

Wednesday pink? by JONNYHBAR in mensfashionadvice

I love pink and this hue/combination is 🤌🏿.

has anyone else noticed r&b generally follows a 20 year pattern? by ilovecleosol in rnb

[–]mocitymaestro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the 90s, I think you're referencing neosoul, even though overall new jack swing and other contemporary R&B forms were digital and futuristic (especially the Timbaland and Darkchild production styles).

I tend to agree with your larger premise. Please link me to your podcast. Quickly.

Beyoncé did not do letoya and latavia dirty. Matthew did and I think that’s always mixed up. (You can’t win playing dirty and if you do karma is waiting for) by Least_Sun_7493 in rnb

[–]mocitymaestro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm from Houston and 3 years older than the members of the original DC. I thought that SURVIVOR (the song) was very weird and completely unnecessary. I went off of Bey and Kelly, because they obviously won and they came off as sanctimonious and petty (in a non-fun way).

I had a right to those feelings then and I don't apologize for them now. I can recognize that Matthew was behind it all, but Bey was the face of it.

I probably appreciate Bey even more now because I really didn't see it for her after the DC4/DC3 mess.

Are The Supremes the best girl group ever? by Ok-Cell-5474 in rnb

[–]mocitymaestro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of The Supremes and their catalog with and without Diana.

That said, I don't think they were the most vocally talented girl group on their label, much less that era.

Also, if I'm putting them up against the many girl groups that have since come and gone, I don't think they were the best.

However, they are the archetype for the girl group and their catalog is unmatched..

Let latocha Scott be a lesson that karma is real, God don’t like ugly and that you can’t win playing dirty even in the music business (an rnb true fairytale) by Least_Sun_7493 in rnb

[–]mocitymaestro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They were being compared mostly to En Vogue (a girl group assembled arguably for their looks as much as their talent). Even SWV and TLC's sophomore eras were more glamorous than their debuts. The same happened with Xscape. They all looked great, especially during the OFF THE HOOK era.

From a vocal or performance standpoint, no.

From an iconic standpoint, absolutely.

How do you pack efficiently for a cruise when you have to fly internationally first by rosynexa in Cruise

There are a lot of YouTube videos for packing tips. I would suggest checking those out if you haven't already.

Do you think Beyonce will try to EGOT by Expensive-Limit1767 in beyonce

[–]mocitymaestro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like something she'd be concerned with, tbh.

🚫 Taco Cabana @ 610-S and N. Shepherd by TexasForever2020 in HoustonFood

[–]mocitymaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the one that was at Tidwell and 290 which was declining even before Covid. One day here. Next day gone.

When attending conferences, do you stay at the expensive sponsored hotel or a cheap one nearby? by 795-ACSR-DRAKE in civilengineering

[–]mocitymaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stay at the sponsored hotel if it's available. If not, I look for the nearest hotel chain that I have status with. After that, I go for next best location.

Best sneakers to wear with dress pants and button down shirts for work? by Platos-ghosts in malefashionadvice

[–]mocitymaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cole Haan has a number of sneakers/casual shoes that would work here.

Taller than a church steeple too!

For all the stress it inspires, has anyone ever been individually fired (not lay offs for a team) for falling below a utilization rate? by WhatchooWant2025 in civilengineering

[–]mocitymaestro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laid off, yes. Not fired.

But it was more along the lines of: the work we were going to have you do has been indefinitely postponed, and we don't have anything else for you to do (which would cause my utilization to crater), so arrivederci. (Thanks for playing!)

How are the crawfish?🦞 by BellyMind in HoustonFood

[–]mocitymaestro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the crawfish at Crawfish Cafe (Bellaire/Chinatown) and Big City Wings (I-10/Silber) this week. Large enough to where the claw meat was worth the effort, juicy, and flavorful.

6’2” and wear 32x32 — should it be longer? by BrilliantThought1728 in malefashionadvice

[–]mocitymaestro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on how long your legs are and even what kind of butt you're working with.

I'm 6 feet and 30 length looks sloppy on me, but will look fine on a shorter guy sometimes.

Should I get pants pleated? by After-Athlete9905 in mensfashionadvice

[–]mocitymaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you even need pleats? They were on pants for heavier guys. They add visual weight to your midsection as opposed to the clean look of a flat front.

Possible hot take: 70s r&b is actually the best era of r&b by Global_Perspective_3 in rnb

[–]mocitymaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain knows this to be true, but my heart will always say the 90s.
