Singles don't matter, you need a fanbase. Did Iggy go on a bruising tour of small venues, making new fans and fostering a community? Nope. The label gave her some skimpy clothes, bought a hit song for her, and threw the album out.

Likewise Future been out for years yet can't build a fanbase because he can't tour - because he can't sing. So he was always going to flop. Dude is the musical equivalent of those biscuits you get at Red Lobster for the actual meal arrives.

:laff:at blaming Ciara for Future's sales.

1) He sold about the same before they started dating

2) Out of the rappers she's dated, he's the least popular

3) The rappers she was dating were still moving units while she was with them

tried to listen to that iggy single
:dahell: is rocking to this trash?

I like to consider myself someone who is open to understanding different perspective. And generally I can understand why certain songs are popular but this one just doesn't move me. I don't get it. The beat takes from the sound Mustard is making popular but other than that I don't get it.

Kid Ink has hits on top of hits though. Like pop hits, not just in the rap world. A lot people were actually surprised at Kid Ink's low sales.
kid ink's sales weren't surprising at all. Hits only sell records up to a certain extent, especially when you're not the reason the song was a hit

iggy was opening for nas on his european leg of the LIG tour and then also opened for BEYONCE on her tour, so she got some exposure, plus she is bigger in europe than you guys believe.
of course, being a pretty white girl,who is willing to use her sexuality to further herself and attain her goals, helps!!
she has that pop appeal, which will help her get those teenager fans!!
and i guess she is talented!?! i couldn't tell you, because i don't listen to her!!
work and p*ssy are the only songs of hers i've heard and they were ok at best.

make of it what you will!
:manny:
