How come Jacquees didn't blow?

Outside of making himself look foolish with that king of r&b schtick & signing to a washed label that's not known for r&b, it's not completely his fault.

The genre is at the lowest it's ever been commercially & diversity wise. Its completely dominated with alternative r&b.

Artists that are looking to make traditional r&b music will not pop in these times unfortunately.

I think Jacquees has hit his ceiling tho & funny thing is he doing a lot better than a lot of his male peers.

I be seeing dudes in his age bracket like Jacob latimore that cant catch a break, but would've popped if it was mid 00s 106&park era.

The days of r&b artists hitting usher/chris brown levels of success is over.

With the genre stagnated & more emergence of rappers singing songs themselves expect lower peaks from r&b artists moving forward.

Are you specifically talking about male R&B?

even someone like lucky daye would’ve been much bigger 10 years ago

The sad truth is that there is not much demand for male singers in the mainstream.people prefer rappers and rap is so diverse now you get everything when you click on a rap playlist

 

[Stick Up Kid]

not every artist is gonna be a Chris Brown, or even Trey Songz level.

There is a lane for a C-List type R&B

Yeah I'm talking about male r&b artists, but even more so specifically that archetype of r&b artists that make traditional r&b music.

This climate isn't conducive especially for male r&b artists that are looking to be spiritual successors of the ushers, chris browns,r Kelly, Joe, tank, Donnell jones of the world.

The Bryson tiller type hybrids are doing fine.

Because r&b isn't where it's supposed to be commercially, a lot of these dudes ceiling will be low even if they do have the talent to be more.

he's doing well.

most male R&B doesn't blow up much anymore.

Dont' worry. His career is fine.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

yall need to check his numbers.

dude is easily one of the biggest male R&B artists right now

 

[DropTopDoc]

nikka not getting any push at all, and universally you can’t really name too many of his hits

 

[dizzy4111]

He definitely blew lol

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Called himself the King of R&B when Chris Brown still makes hits in his sleep

Lost At Sea one of the best tapes of the past 5 years

Word. I liked LAS 2.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

why is this fool always flat?

 

[Another Man]

Him and baby was fuccing

That would mean he did blow

 

[Blessings]

why is this fool always flat?

Because the song was recorded 10 years(when he was 16)....I would hate to be judged on my suppy chain knowledge at the age of 16

He was still flat when he covered "knocks me off my feet" like 2 years ago
