The way how he is pulling out all of the gimmicks and Atlantic airplay payola and his ass still ain’t able to have the number one spot

Now he has Anderson Paak writing out essays on Instagram

Lil Nas X, Drake and Justin Bieber ain’t have to do all of that begging, and their recent songs hit number one

People who are genuine fans of Bruno would know that he has been losing his musical luster for years now. I first started to notice it around the 24k era. The casual fans ate that corny ass album up. Yes, it had some bops but it was definitely leaning into karaoke territory.

Bruno is not that fµck!ng creative by himself. He leans on the old school as his main source of inspiration but he does not do it in the most creative ways anymore. So much so that one would have to ask who exactly is Bruno Mars. We know who Janelle Monae is as an artist, same for Leon Bridges...but who is Bruno?

I am not sleeping on the fact that Bruno is releasing the collaboration when he just lost his musical partner Phil. My sister told me that she thinks he’s using Anderson’s talent...I believe he is although it may not be totally vicious. Bruno fears irrelevancy.

It's like y'all just learned the word payola. These artists aint doing nothing all the other artists before them didn't do- it's called promotion.

He shouldn't worry about always hitting number one. It is a good song and probably will be on the charts for a while- another font called it a "slow burner". I see this song as being a classic song played at cookouts, wedding receptions, b-day parties for years to come. Even it it doesn't hit number one on the main chart - I think it is still a success.

Bruno’s biggest downfall is his obsession with hitting #1. Anderson needs to prepare to move on if this song does not hit #1. I can see Bruno calling this album off, and Atlantic obliging because he is one of their biggest artist. Also, Bruno needs to leave Atlantic and go to Universal. I always thought Universal was good at transitioning somewhat older artist to legendary status in a classy kind of way.

He is a point in his career where he needs some kind of transition...can’t put my finger on it though.

They got him on the hoe stroll.

Song fell flat for me. It was like it was trying to be family friendly while still being sexy. I hope the rest of the collab is more mature

For two ‘Asian’ artists there sure is no Asian influences. Bruno Mars lacks creative integrity and is swagger jacking black artists from the 70s and the other one is just..

I’m not a fan, but my son was a big fan at some point. Do it was all things Bruno Mars here. His last impersonation was so comical and in your face. Taking that break was a mistake because now it’s glaring obvious and insulting that he’s playing a role. His voice is decent. He could sing his music without the costumes and jive talk. He’s making a fool of himself and his music. This is coming from a non fan that was forced to listen to and go to Bruno Mars concerts for years.

What happened with Phil? I’m still genuinely confused about what the alleged breakdown between them was. Love Bruno but I’ve been disappointed not seeing Phil.

If he does this I think Steve Harvey, Big Boy and Bootsy Collins will be ready to throw some hands.

They are really geeked out about the new upcoming album and I am too. I already set aside some of my stimmy check to buy it.

Chile all this music is trash bag and it’s easy to get a number one now since billboard changed the rules.I said what I said

NOW far as Bruno I watched the song and video it was cute but like others have said before up top it’s becoming very karaoke of him a low key tired!!!so unless he switches it up and grow as an artist expect to take Ls especially with this musical generation having a low attention span and mainly gravitates towards hip hop and songs with hip hop and trap beats

From what I read in old LSA threads, during the Bruno tours, Phil was living that 24K lifestyle with groupies, ****** and alcohol. His wife found out because one of the women DMd her and Phil had to leave the 24K magic tour "expediously" or lose his family. And I noticed Phil wasn't in the Cardi "Please me" video so I think he left right before that - he probably didn't want any part of that ratchet video.

However I think Bruno is still about that 24K life so he and Phil had to part ways. Phil said he is trying to be a better man now and I respect that.

Sometimes to have to remove yourself from family and friends in order to move ahead and become a better person. They can hold you back.

I’ve said the same. Bruno feeds off of the black men around him. Phil was a huge part of what made Bruno Bruno. But let the girls say it “Phil is still around what are you talking about?”

Naw Bruno lost it. After Uptown Funk, he went down this weird ass road of cosplaying old black culture. And it’s weird.

That’s exactly what happened. I heard it started around MJT, and she was limiting his presence there as well. Jessica couldn’t care less about what Bruno does but Urbana will shut all that sh!t down over Phil.

Chile, some of the girls were celebrating Peter Gene Hernandez for being among the three main Asians making waves in music and breaking barriers for their fellow Asian. I wonder if they’ll come through for their boy.

and the song sounds like a poor remake of "Versace on the Floor". He needs to give up that whole old school R&B sound. It honestly doesn't fit him.

I’m not exactly sure...but I thought something was going to eventually go down between those two because although they are dope...they encourage each other’s worse characteristics.

Phil definitely had been cheating on his wife on the road for years. If I’m not mistaken his last infidelity brought everything to a climax. I’m not sure how Bruno and his girl got involved...but I heard her and Phil’s wife don’t like each other. I keep hearing bits and pieces but not a solid story.

In this interview Phil explains why he left that life without going into the drama between him and Bruno.

All I've seen is black celebrities over the age of 30 praise this song on social media. It's a nice song but is basically an old school rip off. Getting #1 these days has more to do with popularity than the actual song and I don't think Bruno and Anderson Paak appeals to teeny boppers enough. That Driver License mess was #1 and Justin's god-awful song Peaches(which is horrible) got to #1. The track may still have a chance to get to #1 since it's in the top 10 but I highly doubt it.

He is not breaking barriers for Asians because he does not promote Asian culture...if anything he promotes Black culture. Lol there is this cute Philippine mother/son duo on TikTok who made a video where the mom was shocked that he was not black. Which leads me to my next point. How you racially ambiguous and go be the face of your people? Yo peeps don’t even know your one of them.
