Only thing I conceded was when 1thing came out.

I stand on everything else I said.
Nah- they’re gaslighting you. Amerie adopted her own signature sound =the Rich Harrison style with the “go go beats” which originated with Amerie in 2002

Still doesn't fit the theme of the thread. You know everyone can't make it right? :heh:

Average music career even with success is less than 5 years breh. You looking at entertainment like it's a 9 to 5. Most people don't make it and that don't mean you got blocked, theres no guarantees. Lil b, PAC DIV... none of these people got blocked.

lol u might be right I feel you Gz

The Coli is stuck in 2008/2009 to the point it's comical.
Charles Hamilton was cool for this lane but SO MANY producer rappers are smoking this man in 2022.

Jpegmafia.
Black Milk.
J. Cole.
Terrace Martin
Flying Lotus etc.

Dude gets gassed because of the period he came out in and the age of many of the posters on this website.
And this is coming from someone who fukks with Charles Hamilton.
I played "Well isn't this awkward" and "Pink Lavalamp" as well as a few other mixtapes straight A LOT....a DECADE ago. :pachaha:


Also, let's get this out of the way:
Charles Hamilton IS NOT and NEVER WILL BE fukking with J. Dilla on the boards....ever........
.


I agree with this post:francis:. I still can't believe the fukking dude said that he had a senace to get Dilla back to help him with "This Perfect Life" and even had him as a execute producer:hhh:

But still CH slander in this thread:camby:

Much of Amerie's career downfall had to do with what happened with this album:

Because I Love It - Wikipedia

220px-Amerie_-_Because_I_Love_It.png


I was a big R&B head back then. I was on a trip in Japan and went into a record store and saw this album. I was geeked :gladbron: so I copped it. It was a good album. Musically it was a departure from the 1st 2 albums but still strong. I waited for it to come out in the US and it never ever happened. No publicity no videos NOTHING.

So now that I am reading this thread I am putting the pieces together...

This is my favorite Amerie album. Has a real strong 80's/Pop vibe.

Wouldn’t say an artist but a ceo …. I deffo feel like from the time suge knight went to prison in early 97 until the time he got out in 01 there was a bunch of big wigs in the music industry that got together to blackball him out of fear that they didn’t want a repeat of what happened in the mid 90s when suge went overboard with a huge power trip when he was in position……

Ace Hood, Lauryn Hill (allegedly), Lupe Fiasco, Pharoahe Monch, Little Brother

EDIT: Also, probably the worst one:


I never got the impression that Amerie was blackballed. Her song 1 thing did really well. She does her own thing now. I think she got married to an exec in Sony or Interecope and had a kid. I think she writes children’s books I’m not sure. She puts music out independently.

man your post about Danny made me go into a SC rap rabbit hole lol. Were you ever familiar with Dan Johns, Preach Jacobs, Benny Starr, OXYxMoron?
Oxymoron is the only one I know. They put out a mixtape in the early 2010s and haven’t heard of them since

They have a song called “SAMO” that’s dope as hell
