And it brought to mind the actions of another famous Latina: Gina Rodriguez. Thinking about Jennifer Lopez made me consider the anti-Black sentiments prevalent in the Latinx community. This is the same J Lo who unnecessarily injected herself into the Motown tribute.ĭespite her desire to be close to Blackness, I can’t recall a time when J Lo used her privilege or platform to speak truth to the issues that affect Black people. This is the same J Lo who, with the co-sign of the Hip Hop community, used the N-word on her record with Ja Rule, “I’m Real.” In fact, J Lo has a history of using Black artists to create songs that eventually became hits for her. This is the same J Lo, who was seeking to steal Amerie’s “1 Thing” out from under her feet and had to settle for “Get Right” when Amerie released it on her own. shouldn’t necessarily get a pass for that.Īfter all, J Lo is the same person who used this same Twitter to share her “All Lives Matter” message.
And really, when you think about it, J Lo. But by the time I got into the office and had more time to sit with the image-and saw how everyone else felt about it, I realized this may be a bigger deal than I thought. Initially, I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, “I guess…” Clearly, this is a play on the phrase created to celebrate Black women, “Black Girl Magic.” But I thought I’m not going to invest too much energy into this. why can't we just appreciate everyone's achievements and let the past live in the past? Indeed.🤍💕✨ #BronxGirlMagic ✨💕🤍 /Ydfgk328CJ both songs turned out to be hits - a lot of Harrison's tracks did, in fact - and one question a lot of people are asking as a result is. Upon learning this, they say Amerie went ahead and leaked '1 Thing' to radio stations on her own, and because it became so popular. '1 Thing' was supposedly being shopped to J Lo BTS, and the Columbia label heads actually wanted it to go to her instead of Amerie. This has been a recurring theme in J Lo's music career - Fat Joe even touched on it not too long ago - but the alleged tale goes. namely, old stories/rumors that Jen was allegedly getting prioritized over labelmates/contemporaries. However, there's one other element here that's also getting some attention as it relates to Amerie and J Lo, specifically. yXbmztn4Ye- BlackAF Krrsantan February 26, 2022 ALL of these songs were produced by Harrison, so of course they sound alike! with JL getting a slightly earlier release in January.Īnd spoiler alert. Amerie and J Lo, meanwhile, came out with their songs, "1 Thing" and "Get Right," around the same time in 2005. Everybody was dipping their toe into the RH pool here.Īs for who did what first - between Bey, J and Amerie, that is - it would appear Beyonce was, in fact, the first of the 3 to trot out Harrison's sound with 'CIL' ('03), even though KR might've arguably had it first with '02's "Can't Nobody" - and perhaps others used it even before then. including Toni Braxton, Kelly Rowland and even Mary J. Fact is, he was making "go-go" beats for just about all them, and others in the game too.
Harrison was a producer in the 2000s who was working a lot with Columbia Records - who had all these ladies under their roster in the early to mid-2000s. as is an explanation of who the heck Rich Harrison is, because he's at the center of all of this - and the main reason for the comparisons being made in the first place. Of course, a proper timeline of events is necessary here to put things in context. and, thus, robbed her of her thunder.īeyoncé snatched up her producer, Rich Harrison production & amerie’s writing style became the formula that made Beyoncé #1 - Norf Amaruca February 26, 2022 With tracks of theirs like "Crazy In Love" and "Get Right," respectively, employing similar break beats and drum patterns - some have even gone so far as to claim that B and J (Lo) actually hijacked Amerie's whole aesthetic.
