I was 12 and you’re a damn lie. Look at the numbers and shut the fukk up. You obviously got a little too overzealous with nostalgia and said something that you now know is wrong. Instead of admitting to your mistake like a man, you’re putting fingers in your ears and going “la-la-la” like a child - it’s sad. Humble yourself.
How Amerie’s career was hijacked by Beyonce and J-Lo

A Ja Rule back up singer whose debut single spent 10 weeks at #1 on the pop charts, won the first Grammy for Contemporary R&B album, and had her album go gold in its first week out and broke the sales record for a female debut album???
Nah. We can’t be talking about the same Ashanti, b.
They (A&B) were on the same label. Ameriie album came out FIRST....THEN they did the 1st Bey album w/ way bigger budget. Notice that DIL has multiple producers, guest appearances, etc.
Ameriie 1st album had ONE producer for the whole project and NO guest appearances. And she was a brand new artist.
Despite the relative success of All I Have, Columbia benched her while releasing TWO Beyoncé albums. Smh.
The deck was really stacked against her.

Every Ameriie supporter talks about her first 2 albums, but nobody in this thread even mentioned the Drive EP that dropped two summers ago or her In Love & War Album from 2009. It's like even people that liked her don't realize these albums exist, and they had bangers. She even worked with Rich Harrison again

No becuz she used more Scott Storch production than Rich Harrison on her debutThe argument is that her SOUND was jacked - who said anything about timelines but YOU!!!?
Did beyonce jack her sound or not?! <<< watch none of them answer this

Beyoncé was already a star tho. Of course she had a bigger budget becuz she was less of a gamble
did you spell it with two "I"s or one?Again - I did a thread search and this is the 10th thread created with amerie’s name in the title in the history of this entire site
Also this video was made in August 2017, she did a good job of compiling evidence and interviews.

Jay always been about his business. That's been his persona since day one. How is that not authentic?

I give up.
You need to give up cause you not even making sense, Beyoncé has 3 #1's and 8 top 10 hits on her first two albums and only one of those 8 songs were produced by Harrison. You need to change you're argument cause this one ain't working for you. Irreplaceable was the biggest song out of all of them, are you going to tell me that was amerie sound.
She released those independently, if you don’t have the machine behind you, you won’t sell - this applies to everyone.
Even Ashanti’s indie projects have all gone triple pocket lint.
But you’ve highlighted the point of this video - she was driven out of the industry by her peers. Like they pointed out, she was on every hip hop track and all over the radio. She was the hottest thing for a few years there

I cant think of any Beyoncé song after her debut that sounds anything like the "sound" yall keep trying to give Amerie credit for
I take it you’ve sent death threats to the chick who made this video
