Ameriie on the Breakfast Club

[WheresWallace]

That first album has a lot of nostalgia and sentimental value. One of them songs remind me of a chick from back in the day. I reminisce of that summer every time I listen to it...

Emotional = one of the best RnB albums of the last 20+ years IMO.

I seen yall two say it's great and I heard from other people it was great too, def gonna scoop that jawn up over the weekend, don't know why I fronted on Carl Thomas so long.

 

[JustCKing]

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.

What she alluded to in the interview had more to do with the label than it did one particular artist. That's not a history rewrite. "Crazy In Love" is one song. Although it's the song that put Beyoncé's solo career in orbit, it isn't her defining sound. Again, Rich was doing records for Kelly Rowland around the time Ameriie debuted. The difference is what he did for Kelly didn't take off. This type of stuff happens all the time. Once one artist blows up with a sound, the label will shop the same sound to other artists under their umbrella.

I'm shocked that Amerie can get so many replies in The Booth...chick really was a 1 hit wonder

No she wasn't, she has at least 3 popular songs people in general remember and one classic album - back when people listened to albums - and a second good to very good album.

Bruh. It was like 4 songs.

Four songs isn't enough to define someone's sound especially when "Baby Boy", "Naughty Girl", "Me, Myself, and I" sounded nothing like "Crazy In Love". The song Rich Harrison did on her second album wasn't big at all. "Soldier" for Destiny's Child, which Rich Harrison produced doesn't sound like Ameriie's sound at all.

Hey. take it up with Amerie. 10+ years ago, she felt the internal politics and behind the scenes drama was enough to make a song addressing the fukkery.

But everyone knows Beyonce sharked her in many ways.

Which again, doesn't necessarily mean that Beyoncé sharked her and it was more of an industry thing. She made it a point in that interview that she wasn't dissing Beyoncé and that she didn't feel like she was being bitten.

my fav 2000s r&b chick. those albums were summer soundtracks.

columbia fumbled the shyt outta her career. i remember being in ny around 2001 july 4th weekend and fat joe was on hot 97 throwing a fit because she had a single that everyone in the world loved and no one knew who she was. then they played why dont we fall in love w/ the 80+ different rappers that remixed it.

wonder what those "one thing" checks look like. i still hear that shyt floating through movie scenes. timeless

Did Columbia just shift 100% of the focus to the start of Beyonce's solo career at the time? I remember they kinda tried to make her into Beyonce-lite later on too.

Don't remember this ever happening. If u talkin bout tracks like 1 Thing that was HER style before Beyonce jacked it.

 

[OfTheCross]

aiight.

She's a 2 or 3-hit wonder. I'm still shocked she's getting so many replies.

@dora_da_destroyer @ThreeLetterAgency

I never heard her album, though. So I can't comment on that.

I don't think Fantasia would get a a thread with 180 replies

If Beyonce ain't have a history of this bullshyt then I would be more inclined to see where u coming from. But she been on it her whole solo career damn near. Alotta industry females don't fukk wit Bey. Bey damn near didn't give credit to NeYo for his track Irreplaceable. She tried to say she came up with it but his fans already heard his version and called her out on it and she gave him credit when she accepted her award for the song.

I feel sad watching this video. Hearing why don't we fall in love was is like a time warp to a dope summer. Just copped the new whip and for whatever reason the song reminds me of leaving the car wash with fresh the cut ready to do the damn thing.
