I remember being like I remember seeing them performing National Anthems and stuff then I didn’t hear shyt from them… all of a sudden they’re out here singing and shaking ass. shyt had be befuddled and bewildered(all the big words) Like damn at least get your Alicia Keys on first then pivot. Don’t show the goodies as soon as you get grown :russ: As for the label stuff, well… people keep saying streaming is the thing now but obviously somebody is lying. Somehow selling cds and tapes was better than this. Artists seem to have it reeeeal bad now.
I would actually say they got it better...if they arent signed. If you signed you a 360 slave. But if you arent its way easier to get your stuff out there independently. If you somebody with a fan base you can clean up on the independent route. Obviously its more work and a bigger gamble but you can be a true artist and control your shyt.

Maybe they realized they can’t make another Beyoncé lol

Literally everything she dropped would have been a hit if B sung it.

I still don't think the "bad girl" thing was the problem. If she had a hit nobody would care - the problem is she didn't, so people are gonna complain about it. The other problem was that the music just isn't good, didn't satisfy her fanbase and didn't build new fans.

I don't think it's a coincidence that nearly every black woman singer and rapper is dealing with the same problem. A lot of slick, hyper sexual videos that get a lot of views but very few actual hits. If they all had melodies like SZA we wouldn't be having this convo because they'd have hit records. But they don't, and they're all kind of just...existing. Same with a lot of the black woman rappers. Meanwhile white pop stars are actually releasing SONGS, racking up hits, making better videos, etc. It's night and day and you know what? It's gonna get worse now that labels are gutting "black" music execs.

The genre needs to move beyond the dynamic of the last decade plus where the best songwriters get gobbled up by Beyonce or Rihanna while everyone else recycles weak songs that depend on the video to make it blow up.
HER was the blueprint.

Make the music, maintain mystery…then pop out.

These girls dont have the patience, or talent

A lot of folks see stars and think they can do what they do but there’s a reason why there are so few stars. Cuz it’s hard to be that good. She needs to step her game up and get better.
