Thanks for the comment. And since my only exposure to Emily Wells is live in concert, I don’t know what her recorded music is like, nor am I going to go out and listen to it. However, brilliant is an enormous stretch in description of her performance and as it seems she did that song in the concert, it came across as someone who tried and failed to accomplish what you are claiming is brilliance.

I do not argue that white girls from privileged backgrounds don’t have the right to perform whatever they want to include rap-influence, but that in this case she cannot and does not pull it off. This is, of course, my opinion and even though opinions will differ, I will predict that Emily Wells will disappear from “hip hop” music and all popular music and her “influence” will disappear with her. She just isn’t that good of an artist or innovator, though she is very talented as a violinist and little else.

LOL…’controlled substances’ at a concert?! Oh my!! Girls dancing and having a good time? Oh dear!

Emily Wells does a BRILLIANT remake of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy”.

White girls from privileged backgrounds have as much a right to perform rap-influenced songs as grown men have to go to concerts to see artists like Lenka, an actress who writes pop songs for tweens;)
