How did AMIL flop? Why wasn't HOV able to make another Foxy?

[Trot LaRoc]

Trash voice, average flow, average looks

There was nothing really special about her. She was as average as they get...she was basically the female Bleek.

F.A.C.T.S.

Story I never heard is what made Jay sign her? Where did she comes from? How did they link?

edit: random, is bad boy the only 97-05 major label that didn’t have a female rapper?

 

[FeloniousMonk]

no sex appeal, female rappers don't succeed without it

 

[Treason]

I would’ve smashed

Real shyt. Amil had a donkey on her. But she used to get into it with dame about coming to the studio he said she had a poor work ethic. How you around one of the most popular artists at the time and not take advantage of it.that was dames rationale Never heard her point of view though. She didn’t do any interviews that I’m aware of she just vanished except for the rumors of her working at Kmart or target


around the 57 min mark killah priest gives his opinion

If she actually had work ethic, she could’ve at least carved out a lengthy niche career in the vain of Young MA lol

Also to answer the question, outside of her voice being distinctive, she had no other appealing qualities.

Her best song (4 Da Fam) would still be great if she never made the studio session. That's why she flopped.

i was gonna say the exact same shyt. That song still goes tho
