Title: R&B artists Elijah Blake and Sammie chime in! #BlackMusicMatters
Post by: tigernathan on December 10, 2015, 05:26:44 PM
Niggaz so quick to point out first weeks and flops that they don't realize that a world without soul music is the real flop. ????

It's an indoor slave mentality tbh. Rnb has turned into this game of point out the shortcomings of ur brother/sister cause "massa" said so

So Kellz . One of the greatest artists/songwriters of our time is a "flop" cause we don't support our music? That word is dumb as shit

Bieber is platinum in just two weeks, Adele is 4x's platinum in two weeks. Name the last urban r&b/ soul act that went platinum?

He's asking the urban consumers / let's not sugar coat what URBAN means- BLACK consumers go out & buy the MUSIC. Simple and plain.

So now Ima dumb it down. Black people, if you like a black r&b/ soul artist. BUY THEIR ART. Don't just download and stream it. #theEND

He started a movement. I need these black producers to boycot white artists a bit. Timbaland and them be so thirsty for a hit they sell their soul to them.

I agree. But hell most times, the fans don't even KNOW their fave is releasing. It's not enough outlets for Urban artists to promote now. 106 & Park was the biggest piece of promotion they could have and now that's gone.

These artists are gonna have to stop waiting on the label to do shit for them. It's time they stop complaining and start coming together and not on no corny shit. They need to create their own avenues, their own means of promotion and make due. Clearly going on TV shows and radio interviews isn't selling music any more. They need to think outside the box and engage their audience. It also wouldn't hurt if they step out of current writers and producers and actually start working creating new shit unique to them.
