This was the order of the Roc-a-fella releases

So the Roc and Jay Z were on a winning streak in that era. Had good ears for beats and how to make good music and hits.
In your opinion, why did the AMIL project flop?

They cut her off when she started playing double agent to E Money Bags and Prodigy.

Is Amil from Queens? Where in NYC is she from? And what was her connection to Prodigy & E-Moneybags?

She was ready first of all, and 2nd most rappers didn’t understand the amount of money you got to put into female rappers, it ain’t like a male rapper, they need they own drsssing room, makeup artist, hair dresser, stylist at every event.

male is rapper just need a hair cut and throw on some random hip hop clothes.

The Beyonce single was wack. 4 da Fam wasnt even going to be on her album at first, I think. The outdo originally had only Jay talking. They added her outro later. Pretty much boils down to that she had no buzz when she came out. Didn’t help that she was wack on every cut in n Vol 3

Almost every rap crew of note in that era had a female rapper.

She didn't have the star quality Foxy did, she was on some dope songs, but those were all rocafella features and never really generated interest in people t in hearing her by herself
