Ameriie on the Breakfast Club

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Nah. Nas is an intelligent cat. He's a street nikka at the core tho so he has a certain amount of ignorance that goes wit that. Especially at the time. I feel they would fit more now than then cause he's more of a mature person at this point.

don't mythologize these dudes.

A LOT of rappers are idiots.

My general test is this:

Those who do the party and bullshyt and ignorant records = the ACTUAL intelligent ones

Those who do the deep/introspective/knowledge/conscious rap = the ACTUAL low-key dumbasses.

Its like 90% accurate.

Don't get it twisted. Ameriie is an ACTUAL nerd. Nas is a smart-dumb dude who occasionally reads "a book"

Don't insult her like that.

Nah he constantly reads books. I read a magazine long time ago where he admitted to reading both books and comics and that he likes to draw. Can't find it online but take this quote from 50

"What percentage of MCs in hip-hop do you think are actually intelligent?" 50 replied: "You have different kinds of people. You have people that are extremely book-smart that lack common sense, so they don't know what's going to affect their audience. ... For instance, Nas is a really smart guy. He reads books constantly. We were around him on the Nastradamus tour. He was almost weirder than me 'cause we would go to breakfast and he'd be there reading a book. Conceptually, I think that's what made him drift away from what his initial audience enjoys from him and why he's not hot right now."

But fukk the bullshyt, the r&b game needs singers like amerie. I'm on board and I hope y'all are on board too

 

[seemorecizzy]

man she's a cool ass chick

 

[BAMBINO]

I'd suck a spring roll outta her ass.

Fam I'm not mythologizing anyone considering I have had plenty of interaction with these people. I Def feel u that alotta these cats are dumb as fukk but Def not all. Either way this thread is about Amerie not them so I'm not tryna derail it.

Amerie was a 1 hit wonder

she's a joke in the industry

 

[Dre Space Age]

Finally a wild troll appears

Neg him back from whence he came

 

[Still Benefited]

you acting like faith, mary or keyshia cole or lil mo etc weren't running most of the sonics at that time.

Thats my point,Amerie made no impact there which is why she wouldnt have blown up like folks is pretending wouldve happened if not for Beyonce and Usher

I just had her first album on (all i have) on Monday, I loved amerie but yea, she had bad timing and got lost in the shuffle due to beyonce getting with rich Harrison and that's also when alicia keys was looming large and when ciara was winning too...

She's still pretty as ever, r&b ain't cracking mainstream, but I'm in for new music from her

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

was I the only one who watched that one show she hosted on BET for a while? Came on in the afternoons/week days

Naw I watched it too

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Ain't got time for that but here's some I like.

Had this on repeat for the longest cause of the beat and harmony.

Loved this song...man, i really can't believe legit signing has been tossed in the bushes. Hopefully r&b where melodies, good vocals, love and vulnerability make a comeback

 

[YourMumsRoom]

Yeah rich fukked up royally. They had the same chemistry as Aaliyah and Timbaland. Stupid nikka.

Them JLO cheques were too enticing to turn down.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

it sounds good in theory, but this broad hasn't dropped an album in 7 years. so she's got plenty of time to read. the rest of us are busy with jobs and families

I got a friend who hits near that, she doesn't have kids, but a normal working person, her free time is spent reading instead of watching tv.

nikka wifed up Kelis instead. Horrible mistake.

yall bugging, Nas and kelis were a dope couple, they just didn't make it, it happens. Kelis seems cool as fukk in her own right, I'd hang with her and amerie any day...if they would have me

 

[folasade]

Her music never caught my attention, but I do think she's pretty and I like her youtube channel.
