Established rappers with credibility :hula: unestablished RnB singers with no buzz


shyt like this actually BRINGS attention to the original song... not making a carbon copy and pretending it's theres to ride a wave..


Wayne remixed hella shyt, you know why no one cared... because Wayne is a rapper with original content and Waynes remixing of certain songs brought with it tens of millions of views to the originals.

How many millions of fans is Jacqueese bringing to Ella Mai? Or is that the other way around?



Again.. It is at the labels discretion. None of these videos are of up-and-coming artists.. None of these people are in the same lane as Ella Mai. None of them are performing the song as theirs and TPain made it clear he wasn't getting paid. They did it for fun. Jacquees did his for something else. Promote your own shyt, stop stealing others tracks and having people think it's yours.

Notice how everyone of those vids gave her her credit too. Letting EVERYONE know thats her shyt.. nikkas even saying he's done "snatched up songs" before, one from PnD...


If you nikkas don't get ALL the way tf out of here caping for this dude:camby:

Edit; and also, none of them shot a music video

Didn’t he say he put it on SoundCloud and Youtube only?

Is that monetization ?

He checked tPain who doubled back and said “oh I thought I saw it on Spotify”


And Quees has beeeeeen doing this...

Exactly, Elle got big off of remixing and covering Chris brown songs and yet, nobody sued her

Wait, you in a hiphop/r&b forum yet you say this...

But you calling others delusional

Y’all really overplaying him, especially given the age distribution on this board. I happened to catch “in the club” on the radio a couple times which is the only reason I knew him and therefore decided to check his album when it dropped. If you dont listen to programmed music, “bed” and “in the club” were easy to miss and therefore so is his name, especially for the 30+ club. He’s not ty dolla singing hooks on every track or jeremih who surfaces an actual hit song every (other) year. Dude has a lilttle grassroots following, mainly 25 and under, but is otherwise a new artist on the national/mainstream front.

I saw the video with my own two eyes a few days ago, ya lying ass fakkit :gucci:
That was a fan made video and you can tell because the voices and the video don't match. They do that shyt all the time with artists who don't release official videos. They chop up tour footage and old videos to make new ones.

He ONLY released the SONG to his Youtube page. I would know because I listened to it on repeat before it was taken down.

Ya'll missing the point.

It's not about who song is hotter

It's not about Ella Mai covering othErs songs

It's not about THE SONG being monetized or not.

It's not about the label being insecure

IT IS THEIR PROPERTY. SO WHAT IF THEY SEE HIM AS A THREAT. IF YOU HAVE THREATS YOU ELIMINATE THEM. IT DOESN'T MATTER ON THE VERSION THE FANS LIKE BEST. THEY ARENT MAKING ANY MONEY OFF OF JAQUEES VERSION , AND IT CAN HURT THEM LONG TERM. BUSINESS IS NOT ABOUT FEELINGS AND DO RIGHTS. THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY OWN THE PROPERTY, PERIOD. THEY ARE NOT WRONG EITHER WAY IF THEY WANT TO TAKE ACTION OR NOT.

It is a competition about this song as soon as he dropped his version. In this thread alone you had mad people say his version is better and never even heard the original .

:snoop: Im done. I can't with you nikkas

The label clearly sees him as a threat ...

Now whether an overwhelmingly “urban” act who primarily appeals to overwhelmingly “urban” crowd :mjpls: on a now fledgling label SHOULD be perceived a threat is another story ... :sas2:
Again, because his version is overshadowing hers to some people they have a legit reason. If they going out their way to keep the brother down on some hating shyt, that' s a diff story.....

Bu-bu-but people in here are saying his version could NEVER overshadow hers... she has a machine behind her and 25 million views ...
