Ameriie on the Breakfast Club

[dora_da_destroyer]

Hood rat songs aint an identity now

Those songs are the reason she could transistion into doing records with that Amerie sound....Amerie wouldnt have blown up because she tried to bypass the "hoodrats",and that just dont work in female rnb

At the height of Alicia keys career, she wasn't catering to hood rats, nor erykah badu or Jill Scott or Sade or brandy or pre-95 Mariah...I could go on

she still fly..... and that DC flow...book and artsy G'Town chick ....yummy!

shouts of to G'Town on Sundays in the summer.

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.

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

kelis was bangin in her day. she done got a little flabby as of late.

Her first album is better than all of them bytches. And on top of that. Bey bitin off her didn't help her. shyt. When she came out with One Thing she got bit by both J Lo and Beyonce. And I doubt it's work ethic. It's the fact that she does write music and she doesn't have a consistent factory or writers just giving her songs left n right like especially Rihanna's untalented ass.

her downfall was that she's not a performance- entertainer type and while I dig her first album alot, she doesn't have the powerful voice to overcome lacking in the areas I just mentioned.

Neo soul is half your list.

Mainstream female singers in the early 2000s were hood. Outside of Tamia I can't agree with you.

I put hoodrat in quotes because im pretty sure he just means black women from the hood,cuz i dont remember beyonce or destinys child specefically making "hoodrat" anthems at this time....u have a point with mariah but she was marketed as a non black woman for the pop charts...for Amerie that wont work,i dont remember black women fukkin with Amerie like that,not that i ask black women what they listen to when im trying to fukk,but usually youll hear who they fukk with sumhow or the other,and Amerie name wasnt comin up

 

[Standing on business]

Its funny how this stuff gets lost to history.

Beyonce had no real identity at that time. She was making jumpoff/hood-rat songs at the time with destiny's child and Ameriie was making songs that Beyonce would come to be known for. Beyonce just had the stronger team, but Ameriie was definitely the "IT"

Man stfu, Beyoncé had 10 million plus selling album in 1999

 

[GlitchieBeats]

Wait, so what exactly did Beyonce jack? Are we talking about the sound??? Like crazy in love?

you have to understand that amerie + rich came with something completely original...


and for good measure, here is amerie's diss

I disagree, I don't think black women weren't fukkin with her so much as she just wasn't huge, kinda like if you asked chicks about Elle Varner or some shyt, it's not that they don't fukk with her, she just isn't big in the radar

And that has what to do with her identity?

This is flabby to you? And the last time I saw her was her breakfast club interview which I think was last year, she looked fine to me

 

[NSSVO]

she still looks good.

speaking of her, this should have been the official remix.

Na Cam was trippin

Well damn Kelis

Another L for Nas

 

[CHERUB]

Why didn't Nas snatch her up back in the day?

Cuz to weird people together dont work. Sex prolly was great but they the type to prolly hate each other after

 

[NSSVO]

I love her
