Heaux Tales

If this album is on this list then Cats should have won an Oscar and Vladimir Putin awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Look, I'm one of the last people who's gonna dump on anything that purports to be about female empowerment. I'm all for that. But just because it's got its heart in the right place doesn't make it good. And let's be clear, "Heaux Tales" is not very good. The production values are damn near non-existent and the backing beats are minimalist homages to authentic R&B tracks at best and amateur-hour ripoffs at worst. But where it really falls apart is the lyricism. While the intent is clearly there, the execution is... immature. Juvenile, even. Everything comes off as the rantings and ravings of someone who hasn't seen enough life to understand the depth of what they're talking about. There's no pathos here. No perspective. It has the form of protest without the substance. This is serious stuff and all Jazmine is doing is skimming the surface. I can't help but feel that "Heaux Tales" was added to this list too hastily. I don't imagine it will stand the test of time. I expect it will disappear into the noise of the dozens of similar hiphop/R&B albums that have come out in the last few years.

Millions of streams on Spotify, Grammy awards, a place on the 1001 albums list, and yet I’d never heard of Jazmine Sullivan. Am I so out of touch…? No. It’s the children who are wrong.

Eeesh. What was cut from the list to make room for this...

Socially relevant for 2021 and pretty funny at times but of all the releases in the past 12 months not sure why this one would make the cut.

I haven't heard of it nor Jazmine Sullivan before but I will remember her now! This take-no-prisoners examination of female sexuality is refreshingly candid as it explores the feelings and desires of women while challenging all the judgmental, hypocritical baggage usually attached to it. More than just an entertaining album, this is a real education and as I listened was embarrassed to realize how much of that baggage I still carry around despite my attempts to shed myself of them. I almost started this review by saying "this album isn't targeted at me" and realized that, yes, it IS targeted at me. It is targeted at a society that carries around these bullshit views of femininity and I have to contend with that every bit as much as anyone else. We are not the enlightened people we think we are and albums like this are spotlights exposing the work to be done. Heaux Tales is a phenomenal album.

So apparently this is as "vital" an album as Abbey Road, Exile on Main Street and Dark Side of The Moon... ... It isn't.

Lost me in the first 10 seconds. I hate this style of music, I hate it's attitude, I hate it's vocal style - I hate everything about it.

Hmm, this was a real stretch for me. I guess it’s not really made for a 59 year old male, but it was still cool. Pick up your feelings is great! She is an unapologetic sexual being. Recognizing the ups and downs of that reality. Go for it girl

A bizarre choice as one of the 1001 albums you must hear. Totally forgettable.

This was fine, but I kind of feel like this list should function like the NFL Hall of Fame when comes to adding new releases. To get into the Hall of Fame, you have to be retired for at least 5 years before being considered for eligibility. I think that’s fair, right? 5 years after its release, an album becomes eligible? Otherwise, this list becomes a product of its moment. I’m not trying to single out this record or any newly added releases in the most recent edition of the book. There’s plenty of records on the list from 2000-2005 in the first edition of the book that shouldn’t be included. I’m just saying there needs to be a cool down period where records can be evaluated outside of their moment before dubbing them essential.

Goodness gracious. Vulnerable and raw. This is a fascinating album. Recordings of seemingly candid speeches are interspersed with songs inspired by the discussions. The way I said it makes it sound boring! But the pieces are largely about sex and sexual agency, so no not boring. I love Sullivan's voice. She's got a beautiful range and uses it with particular gut-wrenching effect on the track Lost One. My other favorites on the album were: Bodies, Pick Up Your Feelings, The Other Side, and Girl Like Me.

listen.. it wasn't my favorite (also though it WAS fun and sexy, i'm not mad about it), but i am just so overjoyed to not hear an album by a white man that sounds like the album i got the day before that and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that....

An absorbing, intelligent nu soul album with stunning vocals and excellent production, Jazmine Sullivan astutely narrates the complexities of modern dating, relationships and self worth on an album that rewards repeat listening.

did not need to listen to this before I died

Wow this is bad. Generic crap. Sucks that whenever I see an album made after 2010 there’s a huge chance is going to be this shit. It’s like this music is made in a factory where the workers plug in a couple random things and poop out an album. Super overused backing beats, a style of singing that gets annoying 10 seconds in and then proceeds to not alter the rest of the album, disgusting description of sexual activities like a horny 14 year old wrote the lyrics and the list of mediocrity goes on. Then they input these messages about women being abused in between the songs that seem to only focus on sex, like what the fuck is that about? Sexualizing and demoralizing yourself, then immediately crying about being sexualized and demoralized? What a joke 1/10

My eating my change with time, but I loved this album. Or should I say open, honest and profound look at sexuality from a female (black female) lens. The frank discussions and highlighting of double standards between men and women as well as the expectations that we each put on one another (as well as within our own gender) was direct and needed. These discussions (and time for men to shut up and actually listen and process) should really be happening at an earlier age. For all of the comments about “We’ll, I don’t know if this is for me because I’m old/male/white/other excuse” really proves how much it actually is for you and how easy (lazy) it is to pass something off as “not for me” when it makes you uncomfortable or calls out your privilege in a less direct way.

I definitely appreciated hearing the points of view expressed, and the vignettes are interesting glimpses into the lives behind the songs. As a very recent album, however, I maybe hoped to hear some themes that I haven't heard before in other artists' work. As for the music itself, I like "Pick Up Your Feelings," but I really didn't enjoy much more than that.

Interesting choice for an album from 2021. It sucks. It sounds like a ton of other generic hiphop/RnB albums that exist. Even the message of the album is amateurish and many more skilled artists have handled the subject matter a lot better. Plus how the beats are just so fucking bad. Seriously? It's just so bland and uninspired.

4/08/2022 Today's Album: "Heaux Tales" by Jazmine Sullivan - This album is really great and knows how to keep it's ideas short and concise. This album should essentially be called hoe tales, as almost every track is split up from the next by a short interlude of a woman talking about some aspect of being a woman. Antoinette's Tale talks about how men are taught to objectify women, Ari's Tale is about submitting to a man because of his sexual game, and Donna's Tale is about fucking men for the sole purpose of getting something out of it, even if that man is your husband. Although these interludes seem ammeter and comical, the combined message of the interlude and following track can have a huge impact. Like in Rashida's Tale, which talks about cheating on someone and how awful it feels on both ends being followed by Lost One, which is a chillingly somber track about a heartbreak. The tracks in between the interludes are all pretty fantastic. They all feature a really cool musical idea with Jazmine's vocals taking center stage and the R&B backtrack always backing her up perfectly. I think every song has a lot of impactful lines that help them all feel unique, necessary, and apt given the context provided by each "Heaux"'s tale. The whole album feels like it tackles many of the crucial modern issues of being a woman in America and it feels like all the ideas are integrated in a way that doesn't take away from the entire musical presentation of each track. I think if you like female pop like Ariana Grande or Doja Cat, you will like the aesthetic of this album and if you have ever felt the world is just a little fucked up towards women, and especially black women, this album is a great one to dig into the lyrics with. Give it a listen if that sounds like you. I think a lot of it isn't totally my thing and the whole thing feels really short (especially with about 8 minutes of interludes), but some of the hits on here made my playlist for sure and I think it's a fairly good example of R&B/Pop today. Score: 7.5/10 Some great female R&B/Pop Highlights: Bodies, Pick Up Your Feelings, Put It Down, Price Tags, Lost One, The Other Side, Girl Like Me

I was surprised to see this recent of an album on this list, but it was a worthy addition. The vocals and writing on this album are great and it had a great R&B sound. It did seem somewhat anemic considering it was half an hour including the intermission stories though. Fav songs: pick up your feelings, price tags

knew that the exclusively classic rock obsessed saddos would hate this album without thought so was gonna give it a 5 anyway to spite them but it actually deserves it too so a double win

This album is yet another example of the reason they need to let these records breathe before adding them to a list like this. While the messages are timeless, the music is going to age like unpasteurized milk. Three of the songs use that terrible mumble trap triplet flow, which is three too many. Best track: Lost One

This is thankfully short. I say thankfully because it is not good. At all. It's both boring and cliche. Maybe there should be a ten year rule for this list. Because there is no way this will be on it in ten years, let alone remembered by more than a handful of people.

Feels very much like a modern day Lauryn Hill insofar as it's concept. Really good, but not perfect. And as I discovered, NSFW.

Great album, offering a perspective that's been strongly lacking on this list. Once the first listen is done I can always do without skits, but each one sets of the song following it really well. Serious and sincere while still being fun and easy to listen to. The duets with H.E.R. and Ari Lennox are great, and "Roster" is an excellent song. Glad this made the list.

I mean it’s not the worst out there… but nothing about this I NEED to hear before I die right, kinda ridiculous

This is parody, right?

more WHite men angry about women of color making art about whatever the fuck they want

Pleasant surprise here; I was NOT expecting to enjoy this at all, but it’s pretty solid the whole way through. I would give it a three as it’s still not really my kind of music exactly, but after reading some of the other reviews on this website I have to round up to four stars to deliver some justice/reward it for pissing off so many idiots. Lots of guys down there complaining about the ~disgusting~ lyrics who I bet didn’t take half as much issue with Dr. Octagonecologyst/whatever their favorite classic rocker had to say about his experiences with fifteen-year-old groupie girls/etc. I’m not even a fan of the ideas of “reclaiming” words like bitch/ho/whore/whatever generally; I don’t actually find the idea of styling myself as a sex object any more “empowering” than I do the idea of denying/suppressing the existence of female sexuality at all. But that’s not really what this album is doing, if you're fair to it.

Love her look on the cover and this was a lot better than I expected after reading the ratings! Some of y’all just don’t like black women.

7/10. I really like the Canterbury Tales-esque concept album framework, but don't really enjoy the actual music that much.

Reminiscent of Lauryn Hill. Complex mix of R&B ballads, twitchy hip-hop, feminist lyrics.

Fav song: The Other Side Some really great production on this album and amazing features, especially from Anderson .Paak. I think the lyrical content is by far the weakest part of this album and at times it provides this almost bizarre juxtaposition of feelings when typical mumble rap lyrics about sex and money are shoehorned in between some actual poetic lines at times. Not to mention how surprisingly deep and heartfelt some of these instrumentals feel - especially 'The Other Side' - which is my favourite song from the album. The instrumental is sooooo good and some of the lyrics are really nice, but singing about buying a new bootie is the bungie rope that snaps me back out of the immersion.

Not to sound like the old curmudgeon that I am, but I don't like the musicality of modern hip-hop and R&B. The rhythmic meter and booming bass is repetitive and boring. Insert "old man yells at cloud" Simpsons gif. There's some interesting moments in here, especially in the structure of the album as a concept, but the content still feels vapid to me. Sure, there's feminist themes, but there's no powerful insights, it's all reduced to old rap tropes such as sex and money. Grandpa Simpson disapproves.

Awful caterwauling vocals and naive lyrics. I'm surprised this made the 1001 albums list.

I did not listen to this all the way through. I really don't think this is my jam.

Really?

Terrible

She's tells us on the album she's best at sex. Assuming her second best talent is music, she still might be dreadful in bed.

I was skeptical when I saw the title, and sure enough I hated this album. What a devastating indictment of how Third Wave Feminism has gutted modern womanhood. I can’t imagine living with such a transactional mindset and allowing my identity and self-worth to be utterly wrapped up in my sexuality. How gross and depressing.

Tryna be Lauren Hill and shit

Music for vapid self-centered "bad bitches" who derive all their life's meaning from sex (see Amanda's Tale lmfao that one was funny). The music was usually irritating and the words were worse. The album is only here because it's empowering n sheeit Sure, she's got a good voice. But often it's the people with the "best" voices that make the most cringey music of all

This felt like a movie. It would be cool to see this turned into a short film telling different people's situations and life stories

I liked this album a lot, I listened to it multiple times, I will probably incorporate it into my playlists. She has a beautiful voice and I liked her concept and telling a story/giving her perspective on sexuality through the album. Reminded me of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Feminist music 10/10

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! 100000% music made for me. added every song to my playlists halfway through the album. banger after banger.

All the low ratings prove Jazmine was right to record this EP. Sure, it's nothing like making it to 1001 of the greatest albums ever. But let's be honest here: music is objective, and quite a handful of records on this list wouldn't belong here. And it's okay, some music stays relevant a little longer than the other. And as for me, I couldn't possibly imagine a better record to this explicitly embrace and manifest female sexuality and freedom in 20's than Heaux Tales.

Never heard of Jazmine Sullivan. I like this album. The music doesn't sound over produced. The interludes have a vibe to them that engage my synapses. Pick up Your feelings, Pricetags, Lost One, The Other Side. Great voice, great production, solid album. Will probably look more up

Unique, in the concept and the execution, but with clear nods to lots of classic American artists from the past. The story-telling and world-building is exquisite, and the vocals are flawless, verging on transcendant at points. An absolute unexpected joy - the closest comparison would be Janelle Monae, in terms of how much I enjoyed it and also how much of a bolt from the blue it was. Brilliant and startling

A beautiful experience. It's almost TOO good

Holy crap. Wow. Speechless. What did I just listen to. My god. This hit me so hard. This is incredible.

Rating: 9/10 Best songs: Bodies, Pick up your feelings, Put it down, Price tags, The other side, Girl like me

This was another new one for me and I was intrigued. It was raw yet smooth to me. At moments it was a challenge for me because it was a truth so far from mine, but I really appreciated the album experience.

holy shit, if i could give 6 stars i would

Yet another fairly difficult album to score. I try to start at a baseline of 3, and if an album annoys me it starts to drop, and if it impresses me, it starts to raise. The first several songs of this album looked to be trending towards a really poor score. It seemed like a boring, recycled R&B/soul album with a strong - graphic - focus on sex from a woman's perspective. Then I hit song 8 with Anderson .Paak, whom I quite enjoy, and something seemed to click. Then I hit the song Lost Ones, which is one of the simplest, most effective, heartbreaking breakup songs I've ever heard, and I was all in. The album's structure took me a few songs to properly grasp, but once I got it, the genius of it really resonated with me. A real story by a real person, followed by a song that explores the preceding tale. I'll be honest - some of the tales annoyed me, but the writing of the songs, and the storytelling overall is incredible. I think this is another example of why this project needs half stars, but the writing on this album alone means it deserves more than the standard "it's fine" rating of 3 stars.

Interesting take on women and their power and sexual nature. Conceit was well done.

How about the Anderson .Paak feature?! That guy is so damn good and was a pleasant surprise to show up here. Price Tags was a banger and easily my favorite song here. Pick Up Your Feelings and Put It Down were really strong tracks too. Gotta say, this was a pleasant surprise. Obviously, Jazmine really shines through the album as a great artist with her vocals and songwriting. On top of some quality music that balances R&B and Hip-Hop very well, I appreciate the structure of this album where you had a woman telling a story followed by a song hitting on that theme. The structure reminded me somewhat of what Kendrick did with Section 80, which is one of my favorite rap albums ever. I really enjoy albums that try to tell a story and integrate music with skits or other ways that connect the songs together (in this case it was tales), and I thought it was a really well-produced album in that regard. Lastly, Heaux Tales is an A+ name. Strong 4 from me.

almost strikingly , ig Unambitious? obviously the structure of it leaves very little room for ambiguity, which i have to admit does make me fidget a little...i dont think theres anything ontalogically wrong with making art that is Not Subtle and Not Ambiguous but its not very compatible with my Art Sensors most of the time cuz i dont just wanna observe it from the outside i wanna find a way into working with it, which is harder to do when its tryna do all the work by itself. that being said this made more and more sense the more i got into it (and it also saves what are likely its most moving track for the back end)...the ambitions it does have to express Lived Experiences with various degrees of abstraction (once through direct narration once through music, generally speaking) does have a genuinely interesting kind of transparency. and obviously a lot of the sentiments here are very moving and cover a wide variety of tones that allow for actual nuance and complication in how those involved view themselves. and for all my waffling about wanting ambiguity or whatever, a lot of these are perspectives that Havent been expressed in direct unmissable ways thru art and music history. maybe not one of my super favorites but fs a beautiful record in many ways

Heaux Tales I quite enjoyed the songs on this, for the most part they are pretty good examples of modern RnB, with some lovely stacked backing vocals and harmonies, like on Put it Down as well as some really nice instrumental/production touches and flourishes, like the guitar on Lost One, and the throbbing synth bass on Pick Up Your Feelings, a great track. I do also ike Anderson .Paak and H.E.R. so I enjoyed those appearances. Some tracks though feel a little harmonically flat, like On It, which never really gets past that generic r&b feel. I found the spoken word ‘tales’ quite interesting too. It would be easy to say it’s not made with me in mind, and clearly the world they are describing is so far from my lived experience, but I actually found it quite thought-provoking to be exposed to these ideas of womanhood/feminism/feminity/sex etc. Despite the upfrontness it didn’t seem particularly celebratory or particularly damning, or didn’t seem to shy away from the ups and downs in the attitudes to sex and relationships. Even if it is very sex focused and I initially thought it was rather reductive it did make me think about my reactions to it, which I liked. Musically it’s decent if rather slight, and thematically it’s pretty interesting, and overall I’m glad to have listened to it. Whether I’d listen again I’m not sure, but I’d definitely playlist Pick Up Your Feelings and Lost One. Due to it being slightly atypical for this list and for making me think more about my feelings towards it, I’ll go 3 💦💦💦 Playlist submission: Pick up Your Feelings

Now this is a surprise . Wouldn’t normally listen to female-sung modern r&b, but might be a good background album while schmoozing. Not enough oestrogen in me to thoroughly enjoy .

Respect the message, admire the singing, indifferent to the music, expensive and producer-heavy, which reminded my wife of the background music of a certain high street store that I won’t advertise here, “are you buying clothes for teenagers?”

Post-Condé-Nast-Pitchfork-core

I just don’t love all the explicit lyrics. Innuendo is sexier. I get the amazing voice. After the album Spotify gave me a duet she did on a different album. Gorgeous.

Not for me I think, although I might enjoy it more after a few listen throughs. Not gonna happen though.

Dozed lightly through it... Perhaps I should have attempted to pay attention to the actual lyrics, but I was too busy wondering if I was listening to 1995. Intrigued by the reviews, I listened again and paid attention to the lyrics. I have learnt that women being turned on, sexually, by money is apparently a legitimate expression of desire. Well, yeah, I guess. Seems a little cynical, but who am I to judge? The second listening reinforced my nusoul impression. It's not a genre I liked in the 90s, and while I have more time for it now, this album is still musically meh.

I'm confused how a 2021 album is even on this list? I think if I'd heard it elsewhere I may have even liked this, but seeing it here puts higher expectations on it that this just doesn't deliver. To be canonized that quickly, an album would have to be something truly groundbreaking. This is not that. It isn't bad either though.

Jesus christ, people - did we run out of Elvis Costello albums?!

Wow, how this woman won a Grammy for R&B is beyond me. While I am sure there is a market for this toxic femininity I wouldn't want to listen to a man sing about how much he blames woman for his problems either. Beyond the ignorant lyrics is bland music ripped off of Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston albums of the 80s and 90s. This one can go straight in the trash along with any money people may have spent on it. Definitely could have lived my life without listening to this drivel. My first 1 star rating and very well deserved. :(

I feel so Empowered™! 😁👍

Perfect for any woman that would self proclaim they are a “bad bitch” you know the type….

“I have sex” 1/5

I don't want to be that guy who is all too quick to dump on feminist art, but I did not enjoy my time with this at all. Heaux Tales is a concept record about conversations about female sexuality. The music here is bog standard R'n'B and the conversational interludes weren't exactly engaging. One of the women interviewed is just complaining that she can't date poor men and I struggle to feel sympathy for them. 'On It' features gloating about their wishes to jump on their partner's genitalia with zero subtlety. On The production is minimalist, so the focus can be on what is said. Sullivan can definitely sing, but there is many moments where her voice is smothered in autotune for no reason at all. Thankfully this was short and I won't be returning to this. As a white man, I acknowledge that this album is not made for me, but I'm ultimately left baffled why this album is considered an essential listen before we shuffle off this earth.

Haven’t heard anyone talk about their body this much since heads, shoulders, knees and toes. Not a fan

Everything about this style of music just isn't for me at all. The vocal style, generic R&B beats, lyrics about money, dick and pussy. Just the kind of bratty, materialistic attitudes: man must have money, man must have good dick, treat me like a queen. I mean, literally some of the lyrics say that money makes her wetter lol. Nothing original just to me sounds the same as any other similar artist I might have heard. I am glad with this challenge that we're given a wide range of genres and different eras and things I'd never have listened to. That being said, this is the second album I've had in the last few days where I have no idea how it made the list, because you really don't need to hear this album before you die, you just don't.

This is like everything wrong with society. Less of this more rage against the machine! I really didn’t like this. Her story about guys only wanting her for sex is really sad.

This is one of the most disgusting albums I have ever heard. It is crass, obnoxious and lacking in even the smallest shred of integrity. The sexual references are crude enough, but the societal and cultural message this sends to young women and girls is appalling. The writers and producers should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Sadly, such morally bankrupt individuals won’t feel an ounce of shame. Unsurprisingly, this album won a Grammy Award. We all know they have been worthless for years now, but Heaux Tales must be the final nail in the coffin for the credibility of that award ceremony. Money can buy trophies, but it clearly can’t buy class. The lyrics exacerbate the myth that if a man is unable or unwilling to pay for his vapid girlfriend’s wannabe lifestyle, he is worthless and she should give him the boot. If he is stupid enough, able and most importantly, willing to pay for her wannabe lifestyle, he should be rewarded. Not with love and commitment, but with a sexually submissive life partner who openly admits that they are giving up their bodies, souls and happiness to settle for a comfortable life with a few material perks. But they will call it love. Even though it’s not and everyone involved knows it. You see the problem. In what universe is this a feminist message? It’s not just destructive for women though. In what universe is this not incredibly damaging for the mental health of young men who are naive enough to fall for this abhorrent rhetoric? In the social media age, it could cripple their sense of self worth beyond repair, and for what? So that a third rate singer can make a few dollars and think she’s special. Trust me fellas, she isn’t special in any way, inside or outside (just look at the album cover!). Any woman worth even a second look (let alone a second date) would never even think these thoughts, much less record an album of them. Faux feminism aside, let’s look at the music aspect. It’s awful. The songs are mundane, like you’ve heard a thousand times before on brain rotting reality TV. The vocals are uninspired, insipid and bland. The spoken word skits serve no purpose whatsoever; they are not funny or interesting in the slightest. I have had 24 hours to consider my feelings after listening to this drivel. I don’t use the word lightly, but I am not exaggerating when I say that I hate this album. I hate the decline in modern music of which it is a symbol and I hate what it stands for culturally. Only a sick person with emotional problems could find any value in Heaux Tales. Everything about it is repulsive and listening to it was one of the most depressing experience of my life.

Jesus. this won r&b album of the year at the Grammys? and a ton of magazines and newspapers picked it as album of the year? lyrics like "that dick spoke life into me" and "money make me cum, that money keep that pussy wet" yeah. pure fucking poetry. there's no damn music on here, just samples and drum machines. usual same old-same old. this shit won't be remembered in a few years. seriously thinking about quitting this "1001 you should hear" because a lot of it is pure horseshit.

This album is fresh (as in new, not in cool). I'm a firm believer that fresh albums should not be on a list of must-listen albums until they have some time to gel. But for the sake of this project, here I am… and I'm not impressed. This album came out at a time when everyone was stuck at home. If this is such a must-listen, why have I never heard of this album or even Jazmine Sullivan. Big strikeout from the authors on this one. 1/5

I actually find this insulting. The selection of music from the 2020s on this list is already extremely limited, and *this* was chosen to be one of only two albums to represent the year 2021? Couldn't have instead picked an album by Little Simz, JPEGMAFIA, Wolf Alice, Injury Reserve, Parannoul, Billie Eilish, Black Midi, Shame, Japanese Breakfast, Magdelena Bay, Tyler, The Creator, I could go on. All of the artists I mentioned as well as many others, all released an album in 2021 that was better, and more impactful than this. This is genuinely one of the most bland and generic hip hop records I have hear in a while, and it technically isn't even an album, it's actually in EP. As if there needed to be even more reasons it doesn't belong on this list over all the others I mentioned.

Nah. Not for me. I tried it but didn't get on with it.

What an uncomfortably long 32 minutes.

Not for me

Ass

really not my thing

Blind album and artist. Why is this on the list? "Bitch do you know what google says? Yes I do yes I do but I also know what that dick said that dick spoke to me".

What in the absolute fuck is this. It's some shit is what it is. Why is this on ANY list

As an ace woman, this is just unrelatable. Never been this horny and craving that much d just seems like a waste of time, kinda like this album.

Absolutely dross. Some nasty words need to be said about her.

"Slut-rap" may be my least favorite genre of modestly organized noise. I listened to almost all of it, and hated every second.

Whore = ho = heaux. Is that supposed to pass as clever? I hated EVERYTHING about this album, especially the irritating title. One star is as low as I can go and that's still too generous.

ni me lo escuché

#86. Trashy music from a trashy skank. Hard pass. No stars for Gryffindor. 1/5: Half a star for the accurate album title. Another half a star for still being better than Tom Waits somehow.

Nonsense. An album of a lady speaking about the empowerment of the black vagina. How this is deemed to be essential listening is beyond me.

honestly not sure how this even made the list. every song is about weiners.

This is just hoe music. Explains a lot of our problems with young people today when you learn how popular this garbage is. The music isn't anything notable either

I've never heard of Jazmine Sullivan and all of the music on Heaux Tales was new to me. Maybe there was one track that was "okay, I guess." Most of my responses were "Please, no more of this". Are two stars too much? Probably.

🤢

Någon med analklåda tyckte den här skulle tillhöra listan. Det är så man blir både ledsen och förbannad på en gång. Mest ledsen........... och förbannad.

Not mine gender bs
