Yeah.

Ameriie and her team were really pushing the cross-over but still "core" sounding female R&B sound that wasn't too ratchet but had classic elements.

Looking back, not enough people appreciated it but her sound was certainly the definition of that early 2000s R&B sound.

Beyonce sharked her whole live-instrumentation sonics and aesthetic. EVERYONE knew it.

I mean, go look at old articles. They flat out say Beyonce copied her early career from Ameriie more than almost any other artist.

Beyoncé didn't shark anything. That was more of a label thing. Sony pretty much whored out Ameriie's sound. They jumpstarted (or tried to jumpstart) Kelly Rowland's career with it. It didn't work, but Beyoncé blew up with "Crazy In Love". That wasn't necessarily her sound because she came with other records that sounded nothing like that song.

When TBC releases these interviews videos are the interviews done that same morning?

How do they get the videos edited and uploaded so fast?

Sometimes they are prerecorded.

This one is because amerie made a cameo yesterday in Marlon Wayans interview.

The birdman interview happened on a Wednesday and they dropped it Friday

How does that blow up my argument? Artists are given records all the time. It doesn't make them biters just because they record the songs.

Yeah. It does.

Enough so that Ameriie alluded to it in this interview and even made that song several years ago.

Some of ya'll love rewriting history for the sake of it just so you all can trot out this ad hoc reasoning.

No. She wasn't. She was a staple in the game. She just never got that real push.

Remember, industry politics were a lot different back then.

I mean gangsta rap was still the leading sound.
