Artists that were blackballed from the music industry.

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

This thread is nothing without proof

For example it is well known that the former head of CBS was making Janet Jackson’s life a living hell post Super Bowl. If you can’t reference who exactly gave the order then the thread is pointless

Amarie was on the same label as Beyonce and JLo. They always prioritized their music over hers.

But the real kicker is Amarie's producer. They essentially blew up together. Her producer created a unique sound, and Amarie's music had a lot of DC Go Go influence.


Eventually, her producer was in high demand, other artist started created similar music. He produced for Beyonce.

Then the copycatting got worse.

Then Beyonce created an entire album biting Amarie's style

Amarie wanted off her label.

Then she had a falling out with her producer.


To put things into perspective, Amarie wanted this the be the first single off her 2nd album, but the label didn't like it and didn't support it. Amarie had to promote it herself.



Eventually, it got a buzz, and the label started pushing it. J Lo tried to steal the song, but it was already blowing up on the radio, so the label told J Lo nope.

But they didn't stop J Lo from making a carbon copy







Amarie was a victim of coming out with her own style and sound, that everybody wanted. But she wasn't big enough in the eyes of the music industry.

I’m one of Beyoncés biggest critics but that Amarie joint came out in 2005 everyone knows She was copying beyonce. Crazy In love came out in 2003

I’ll never forget the day 1thing premiered on the radio.

I don’t remember who was dj’ing that day but he went crazy, probably played it 10 times in a row.

Then it started getting requested all day every day.

Shorties went nuts when it came on in the club

Amerie had great music all around though.

It wasn’t just that song.

Brenda Starr (Mariah Carey)

Stole Tommy Motolla, her song and her style

 

[Dynamite James]

You wasn’t there

Yes I was . Plus that j lo song came out before “one thing” too. It was a song usher passed on in 2004

^THIS^

No longer should an artist ever let themselves be considered that. As long as you can release your art to an outlet you have a choice and that is all the comfort you need.

Fame is a helluva drug breh.

Some would much rather look like they have it to millions of people, than to actually have it but only a couple people know or even care.

No one said Quentin Miller yet?

You really wasn’t if you think Crazy in Love came out before 1Thing.

 

[Dynamite James]

What year was 1 thing released? What year was crazy in love released?

Kelis stopped smashing Pharrell for tracks - that was the end of her chapter

Roscoe Dash

Now this is a guy who actually got blackballed and didn't have a failed music career. He was a little too loose with his mouth for whom he wrote for and that was that

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

He was supposed to be where Kendrick is now

And the Amerie shyt ticked me off too, but I had to ride for the home team...the industry gone industry

Y'all gotta stop it.

C. Hamilton wasn't that nice at all.

Stop it.
