Title: Should R&B artists go on strike?
Post by: MAY on December 12, 2015, 06:27:50 PM
Or start a movement of some sort to kinda push the issue of people not supporting their music?

Something needs to be done to get the point across.

I think a strike might hurt more than help

I think maybe they should look into lowering the prices of their albums
as opposed to other genres...maybe like 5/6.99 for a full album

What will that say about their art though?

That black music is worth less?

Post by: Herb. on December 12, 2015, 07:02:16 PM
I don't agree with a strike or lowering prices tbh.
Strike is no use. This is the music industry. No one is entitled to selling albums or can bring suit for being discriminated against in any way. There is no worker's union, etc. It's entertainment. Only people they'd be hurting is themselves.

And lowering the price is not addressing the issue.
If I see what a piece of shit that's 20 dollars, I don't want it.
Lowered to 1.50, still don't want it. It's a piece of shit.

Not saying that this is what black music is, but you get my drift.
That's not addressing the root of issue.

I mean...its not something I wouldn't want them to do
but sales are rapidly declining and something needs to happen

i think lowering the prices might give people the incentive to actually start buying again
I mean, its sad that that idea is something I have to even propose, but...it is what it is
nothing else is working..
Title: Re: Should R&B artists go on strike?
Post by: Herb. on December 12, 2015, 07:04:18 PM
And tbh I don't really think there's anything that could be addressed IMO
Music and entertainment in general is very trendy.

And the buying audience is very fickle.

Years ago, we were crying about lack of black actors on our televisions.
Now we're sitting here DRAGGING the black TV shows that have become phenomenons.

It's trash! Sick of seeing this on TV.

It's always something.

Oprah, Diddy & Dr. Dre should create a label and then push them through their avenues from OWN, Beats, Revolt etc.

Create a monopoly on black-origin music.

Let's say we took the most basic of gorl (K.Michelle) and for a once in a lifetime thing.
Gave her the type of pre-album promotion Adolf Swift gets.

Do you think the public would actually buy her mess? I think not.

I mean she could get all the promo
but she's still a black womuh so her appeal would still remain limited.

Why do black artists have to experiment and do something extra edgy? White artists don't. The do the same shit too and ppl still support even though they aren't doing too good either. But single wise the girls GO UP for anything (income, population come into fact but still).

And even if black artists sing a diff. tune their fans still wouldn't buy no matter how good or bad. The problem lies in the black consumer and the crab in the barrel syndrome.

I hate how some will say blacks don't buy music. When your faves sell 65k first week that's from actual album sales. No label manipulation or digital mess. That's what I believe and feel in my heart plus our music is being undershipped. Hip-Hop is selling well digitally but even in stores those albums aren't being massed produced. The more albums you create, the more you sell.

If your label ships out 200k albums you're gonna have a first week under 90k because half of those albums are being given to others for free and the label more than likely won't pay to produce more.

R&B is just no longer in, and we don't want to accept. It became overkill around 2005/2006, everything went downhill from there.

Beyonc? eliminated every other female R&B singer out there, and the males who were successful (Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Usher) sold their soul and did the glowstick mess.

Kellz is honestly the only R&B guy who strictly stayed R&B, no gimmicks, no "crossover" who managed to still do high-end numbers, solely based on his music.

If the label doesn't believe in you then it's a wrap. DOA of sorts. I remember when albums had roll outs. Everything was lined up and ready to go before the first single even dropped. There was a plan of action. Nowadays they just dropping singles seeing what sticks then waiting months and months to make the next move and by then the people are no longer interested in a full body of work

I wouldn't Bey eliminated every other female artist in the 2000's.
She just made the general public redefine what they wanted out of a urban girl.

Before Beyonc? solidified herself around 2007, it was early 2000's with several R&B females next to eachother Ashanti, Brandy, Lil Mo, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Teairra Mari, Monica, Tweet, Tamia, Blu Cantrell...

SO many gorls with major labels, high quality videos, promotional push etc.

After Beyonc? blew up I can only think of Keri and Jazmine coming out... And Melanie Fiona

We've been living in the digital era for quite some time now. It's just common sense not to waste coin creating a large amount of physical CDs.

And the same artists who are flopping now without label support have been flopping in the past even with it and a full rollout of promo. 90% of the artists y'all whine about make basic ass music. Weren't y'all just lashing K. Michelle the other day for that new song that sounds like every other urban record? These artists have no identity or sound of their own. Why would anyone buy it?

Only a handful of artists can even move units. It goes far beyond genre these days.

its not rocket science.

we live in a predominately white country.....put a beautiful tall blond, blue eyed girl with a catchy hook and it's gonna sell.
cuz there's more little white girls in this country looking for an idol than there are black.
and more households which will gladly let their kids listen to Taylor.

the labels push the coins into promotion because they know they're getting a huge return.

Not even Beefasa, with all of her TALENT, hard work, etc....can get nearly as close...and it's not because of her professionalism. it's because she's a black womuh. and there will always be a glass ceiling somewhere, that not even SHE can bust through. so imagine the odds against someone like Jaz, or GHan, etc.

It's just all numbers. And sales.

and I feel his label dropped the ball with his release. They didn't treat his project as if he had the biggest song out at the time. Had it been Justin he would've had the whole red carpet roll out.

We've been living in the digital era for quite some time now. It's just common sense not to waste coin creating a large amount of physical CDs.

And the same artists who are flopping now without label support have been flopping in the past even with it and a full rollout of promo. 90% of the artists y'all whine about make basic ass music. Weren't y'all just lashing K. Michelle the other day for that new song that sounds like every other urban record? These artists have no identity or sound of their own. Why would anyone buy it?

Only a handful of artists can even move units. It goes far beyond genre these days.

I mean.... Ariana isn't even selling big, and bunch of others who aren't black.

I don't think most R&B artists are as desperate for mainstream recognition as y'all like to think.

Release the music you want and cater to your fanbase. If Sarah or Adam like it, they'll come over and support. And if they don't...boo hoo.

cuz there's more little white girls in this country looking for an idol than there are black.

the labels push the coins into promotion because they know they're getting a huge return.

Queen's album sales pales in comparison to that of Swift and Adkins. It's kinda unfair to label Beyonce or Rihanna as R&B all of a sudden when being compared to those heavyweights

It's disgusting how whites only start praising and celebrating blacks, when they do some COON/gutter mess or some trashy clich? music.

Rae Shremmurd is like every hipster's dream. And they RUN music journalism, because they have the coins to spend on these magazines etc. And they want to live their disgusting fantasies of what it means to be black through the most vile mess.

But when a Jill Scott sings her heart out, they'll be like "Yeah we have Adele over here, thank!"

This is the craziest thing. She literally bends over backwards, looks like Tyra Banks and will give you Lalah Hathaway vocals. Does videos for every damn song, and ends up doing a measly fraction of what Taylor Swift, Adele or Katy Perry sell.

She did all the big Award shows. And had massive marketing money spent on her projects. I saw banners and mess.

Just cause she ain't sat her ass on Jimmy Kimmel or Hot 97, doesn't mean she did not have a big machine.

I just don't get the obsession some of y'all have with r&b artists selling more :dead:

As long as great music is out there (which it is), why does it matter that other audiences don't use?

I think part of the issue is, that acts like Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Adele or Sam Smith who take from that music and come from that world are ruling music. And it seems for no warranted reason.
adele's music is better than Beyonces. It's simple :dead:

And a lot of blk ppl were going up and UP for Sam Smith. Didn't Mary duet with him :dead:

Yawl gotta start looking internally before saying, it's the whites that don't support or sabotage black artists.

Black ppl don't support themselves tbqfh

It seems that your problem is accepting that Taylor is a bigger album seller than Beyonce.

You don't have to search far for the proof of that. Just visit RIAA.

So are you saying that had she promoted properly she would've sold more? I'm remembering a time in 2008 when Matt had Queen literally every fucking where doing this and that and she still ended the year selling less than Taylor flat booty self. I'm not taking anything away from who she is because we know she's the best but she's not as good ass these white bitches if we going based on sales. She can get all the praise and recognition she wants but if she ain't selling the same as her white counterparts then it's irrelevant. No reason Bey shouldn't be on par with Taylor and Adele sales wise. She's the biggest artist out.

Y'all don't see it but I do. Especially when that dyke was awarded Woman of the Year by Billboard in 2014 when Beyonce was dominating.

And Drais, worldwide sales would kind of be irrelevant in this discussion since we're talking about how hard it is for black artists in America, as far as appealing to people in a white dominated, white supremacist country goes. The bottom line is that Taylor is always going to be more accepted. And that's not Beyonce's fault, so you shouldn't feel any type of way about that. It's not an insult because its beyond her control.

For starters, 'Self Titled' outsold 'Prism' so IDK why Malc keeps bringing up Katy.

And how much would Adele & Taylor sell singing "Drunk In Love" & "Run The World" type of records? Their sales perfectly reflect the type of material they put out.

Nevermind the fact that the general public doesn't care about sales or spends time googling up chart statistics. And none of these girls you're bringing up have touched her career total or have the amount of impact and legacy she has. Bey is not just sales like Becky & Bobby y'all are bringing up. She is the total package, something these other are not.

And she's kinda the standard and blueprint.

It's not about what type of material they put out, Drais.

Because white people LOVE hip hop culture. They will purchase 50 Cent. They love the fact that 'fas has a ghetto side. :dead: They eat that mess up. And 'fas definitely tried going more pop and crossover with I Am Sasha.... she strategically released mess for white people and black people at the same time. And everyone said nothnx to If I Were A Black and went straight to pussy poppin' in Single Ladies.

So we can't sit here and say that white people won't purchase because of the type of music she does. They buy into her antics. But they'll always prefer their own kind.

Yes Taylor sells more in the US. Ok? Bey sells more everywhere else.Does the average person know or care about those stats? No. The mess they care about will keep Bey around longer than these beckys when their fans move onto the next cute white pop act.

And stop trying to use Bey as an example because she works her ass off, something that most of the artists y'all whine about don't do. As if Bey would sit on her ass just because Columbia isn't funding her mess.

You guys are pretty much putting the blame back on black artists when it doesn't belong there at all. Try harder! Experiment! Release different music!

'fas was the walking epitome of whitewashed in everything from "If I Were Colored" to "Halo" to "XO" ...and still everyone would rather see her pop her pussy and swing her blond sew-in around the stage.

Same with Rihanna. She tried to go deep and emo with Rated R and didn't score a hit until she was prancing around singing about how big someone's dick is with her Barbadian accent.

Let's not go with blaming the artist. It's deeper than that.

Good that you bring up singles. The point is Dele, Taylor and Katy ain't have to do all the hoopla, Bey has to and end up exceeding her sales by MILLIONS upon MILLIONS. Beyonc? literally flew in niggers from Togo for a two step choreo and barely cracked the top 40 with RTW

Artists care about making money and earning their living, so who has better stats makes better money most likely, at least strictly speaking music-generated incomes. I doubt people need legacy or whatever, this is about making COIN. Tank and them want to live and pay bills with their music.

And she's kinda the standard and blueprint.

Nobody argued or disagreed with that.

Going back to what I said..

This is entertainment, no one is entitled to anything. There are no work unions, there are no laws against discrimination to protect you. There's no affirmative action in entertainment.

That being said, there's nothing really to address. You kind of have to deal the cards you're dealt and decide if it's the place for you or not. Some will choose to stay for the love of it , some will not.

At some point maybe R&B will return to being trendy. Right now it's kind of not.

Nevermind the fact that the general public doesn't care about sales or spends time googling up chart statistics. And none of these girls you're bringing up have touched her career total or have the amount of impact and legacy she has. Bey is not just sales like Becky & Bobby y'all are bringing up. She is the total package, something these other are not.

:plzstop:     


Why isn't she selling more?

and let's not act like XO wasn't the first single mess then once Did started slaying on it's own the rest was history.
:udontlookok:

Considering the majority of Beyonc?'s music is Urban she sells above average. If you believe otherwise compare her to any other artist that makes similar music and compare their sales.

Yeah we already know white generally sell more than blacks, but that's not the reason these wack fas y'all keep whining about are flopping. Their music just sucks tbh

Justin Timberlake's last album is miles better than anything I've heard from 90% of these niggers. Same goes for Justin Bieber.

I understand the "argument" or whatever but I just don't see it fitting this time.

Pretty much all genres these days only have a handful of artists that are moving units and have huge label support. Both white and black. Y'all are focusing on Urban music because that's what you like.

Not too long ago they were complaining that they couldn't tell a Chris/Trey/Neyo/Jeremih etc song apart from each other and now it seems that everything else but that is the problem.

R&B isnt mainstream and hasnt been for YEARS. Therefore, we cant expect "mainstream" SALES. The general public is just not fucking interested anymore. So you have two options here.... either reconstruct and evolve the sound of R&B to grab the public's attention again or just fucking DEAL.

Cant expect new results while releasing the same MESS every damn era. Im sick of these artists whining. Am sorry.

*sighs*

the bitch is THE queen ok ... hands down. And every white bitch in music has said so :dead:
regardless of how many numbers come out

I think the bigger issue is how do we take control over our own promotion? How can we take the marketing of our black artists out of the whites hands?

that is one thing I will agree with. the labels just aren't bothering to promote them ... at all :dead:

am mean... at least run ads on centric and TVone :dead:
post flyers up on MLK boulevards across the nation. They're doing a horrible job of reaching that demographic and encouraging them to buy

that coupled with the fact, there's not alot of free money floating around in the rnb demographic to buy the albums is why we're seeing the HUGE decline this fast

I mean yea we complain about ppl not buying alberms. but some ppl out here are deciding between gas for 3 days or the new Chris Brown alberm :dead:

the label executives said fuck it... just throw your shit out and hope for the best :kii:

If you already know the type of country America is where white is right then there's a good chance you're aware that Stefanie & David were never gonna buy a nigger's mess in the first place, so why are you complaining about them?

You're wrong. Allow me to break this down.

Your argument was that black people's sales are reflective of what type of music they sing.

I explained that this isn't true as you think.

'fas released what many would consider to be surefire mainstream HITS. Like "Halo" and "If I Were A Boy", etc. they were very "safe" songs.

But none of these songs did nearly as good or solidified her status more than "Single Ladies" did. "Irreplaceable" was kind of a ballad but it was a sassy ballad. Very much a "roll my neck, tell this nigger how it is" song. And it did extremely well for her as well, way better than any of the safer mess she put out.

I'm all for an artist who is multidimensional. I mean I stan for GHan and GODni Braxton. C'mon, give me more credit than that. But you guys seem a little delusional to the fact that people love 'fas more when she's swinging that horse hair around than when she's giving prim proper ballads.

I didn't read this but I think it comes down to the creativity of the artists. A Lot of artists are afraid to work with actual fresh, hungry new talent because it's better to try and fail with a hit maker than to fail with a nobody. I think outside of Chris Brown none of the artists venture out into the unknown. Dawn comes to mind when I think of what an independent artist could be. Her visuals can sometimes be samey but she works with what she has. These Artists aren't creative in their art. You always here Dave Meyers, Timbaland, but there are some dope Indie niggas putting out quality material and quality visuals on a shoestring budget.

'fas was the walking epitome of whitewashed in everything from "If I Were Colored" to "Halo" to "XO" ...and still everyone would rather see her pop her pussy and swing her blond sew-in around the stage.

Same with Rihanna. She tried to go deep and emo with Rated R and didn't score a hit until she was prancing around singing about how big someone's dick is with her Barbadian accent.

You're wrong. Allow me to break this down.

Your argument was that black people's sales are reflective of what type of music they sing.

I explained that this isn't true as you think.

'fas released what many would consider to be surefire mainstream HITS. Like "Halo" and "If I Were A Boy", etc. they were very "safe" songs.

But none of these songs did nearly as good or solidified her status more than "Single Ladies" did. "Irreplaceable" was kind of a ballad but it was a sassy ballad. Very much a "roll my neck, tell this nigger how it is" song. And it did extremely well for her as well, way better than any of the safer mess she put out.

I'm all for an artist who is multidimensional. I mean I stan for GHan and GODni Braxton. C'mon, give me more credit than that. But you guys seem a little delusional to the fact that people love 'fas more when she's swinging that horse hair around than when she's giving prim proper ballads.

For 90% of them, yes. They all literally sing the exact same record.

And yes even I prefer "aggressive" Beyonc?. What is your point and what does that have to do with anything?

People can't support music they don't know about. PERIOD. You can say R&B isn't mainstream all you want but have you listened to Justin Bieber's latest album? It's R&B downe! Do you know Country music has become more R&B influenced? I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and there was this country playlist just blaring throughout the store and it was so R&B.  :plzstop: I gagged and had to Google some of the music! The melodies and even vocals are very R&B influenced. Country is a genre that thrives 'til this day. Their award shows are events and their artists book platinum consistently.

The artists being labeled 'Pop' thrive because they have a push and people KNOW their music. I think the R&B artists have a disadvantage because they don't get promotion but at the same time their people aren't checking for them like that even without the promotion. :stressed: Have you guys noticed that the sites that caters to the blacks are consistently slandering our artists, directors, celebs, etc.? The consensus of "Black Twitter" is built on making fun of our people and our celebs. Every time there's a BET Award show it's all about who can crack the funniest joke or make a meme the fastest for likes and kii's. Basically the presence of BLACK people isn't taken seriously and in turn that effects how their music is being sold. It hurts their marketing as well.

Perhaps we need white people to co-sign R&B the way the way they do with Hip-Hop so the niggas can purchase again! lol! kinda how the Black Lives Matter movement was started by a white man and the niggas followed like SHEEP!

You said that black people's sales in music have to do with the music they make.

Beyonce is a weave swinging neck rolling bonafide ghetto fabulous diva. Her music is really no different than a lot of mess that's put out there. She takes hip hop trends, attaches her name and style to it and throws it out there. So it really has nothing to do with it.

Even when she tried to go more mainstream, her neck rolling hip hop mess reigned supreme over it all. So this makes your point null and void.

regardless of how many numbers come out

I think the bigger issue is how do we take control over our own promotion? How can we take the marketing of our black artists out of the whites hands?

that is one thing I will agree with. the labels just aren't bothering to promote them ... at all :dead:

am mean... at least run ads on centric and TVone :dead:
post flyers up on MLK boulevards across the nation. They're doing a horrible job of reaching that demographic and encouraging them to buy

that coupled with the fact, there's not alot of free money floating around in the rnb demographic to buy the albums is why we're seeing the HUGE decline this fast

I mean yea we complain about ppl not buying alberms. but some ppl out here are deciding between gas for 3 days or the new Chris Brown alberm :dead:

Bey has always been GREASE. She's pretty much the only artist who successfully stuck to their R&B/Urban roots, while still somehow remaining mainstream and on top. The general public clearly prefers to see her twerking over a greased out MESS than singing about x's and o's. The thing I like about Bey is that she quickly learns from her mistakes and just gives the people what they fucking WANT.

Bey has always been GREASE. She's pretty much the only artist who successfully stuck to their R&B/Urban roots, while still somehow remaining mainstream and on top. The general public clearly prefers to see her twerking over a greased out MESS than singing about x's and o's. The thing I like about Bey is that she quickly learns from her mistakes and just gives the people what they fucking WANT.

she's just....THAT BITCH

That's all I'm saying.

She's ghetto as fuck.  :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
But let's keep it ALL the way real, she's light skinned and pretty, and on top of that she has talent.
You know us blacks luh us a light skindededededed gorl. And whites could careless but luh them some fucking ghetto deep fried mess :ohwow: It's not rocket science why things worked out for her.

And again, this takes nothing from her talent because a big reason she's where she is now, is because of her work ethic.

BUt let's put all the cards on the table, keep it all the way real and not be delusional about it all. It has nothing to do with type of music.

Rihanna sung about checking and verifying someone's dick size over a hip hop caribbean beat and got a #1 on Billboard. after releasing a powerful ballad that damn near went unnoticed.

im sure barely anyone even knew what a fucking "rude boy" is. (http://38.media.tumblr.com/dffca33b9a48d6f3a03e2d8befc50ff7/tumblr_n0uo4vnjhd1qzjr2jo5_250.gif)

Rih's biggest eras are her least filled grease filled ones (GGGB, LOUD)

She actually went full grease after LOUD and her sales have dipped significantly ever since.

And at all the grease on "4" and that's her lowest selling mess.

This argument y'all are trying to push that people prefer their nigger mess isn't true actually.

Gur

Rih has never really be a grease gur for the majority of her career. We've always dragged her for it. Most of her biggest hits are GLOWSTICK messes. She flopped until "SOS" and "Don't Stop The Music" pretty much sold GGGB

Bey's lowest selling album is her least poppiest one

Same goes for Rih

Didn't you say she tried to be white with "45 seconds" gg? That was the most successful song of ANTI

"Bitch Better Have My Coin" was pure grease and flopped.

(http://i.imgur.com/MFC8qfK.gif)

A lot of the pop artists make SHIT music but are being praised like they're hot and their music is getting spins all the time.

Again, it's about marketing
Weeknd is proof of that. He had an amazing marketing campaign behind him, radio up his ass this whole year and now he's booking arenas. His album is SHIT and mainly R&B yet it's almost platinum.... I say that as someone who followed his career from the very beginning. He has the machine behind him. These R&B artists just need a machine and radio behind them.

and she delivered what is definitely considered a more progressive R&B sound.

how long are we gonna keep putting the blame on the artist?


till they stop working with the same dusty ass producers and writers  (https://j.gifs.com/W668Qg.gif)

how many excuses are we gonna make?
People liked the album, but many found her uninteresting as an artist herself and lack star quality. If you cant connect with an artist, its hard to be interested in their career and support.

There's absolutely nothing experimental about Bey's music. :kii: She does well because she has the MARKETING and NAME. The end. Her music is no different from the artists who flop.

f

her music is the same as Fantasia, K Michelle's, Keyshia, Jaz, etc?

Trey, Chris, Jeremih etc?

No it isn't hun.   


:dead:


b

Clearly.
the girls mentioned must surely have songs like "Haunted" "Ghost" "Mine" on their mess.   :dead:

Brandy been making songs like that and tbh those songs you mentioned are no fucking different than some shit Gaga, Brit or Madge has done. Some of you girls kill me trying to give Queen too damn much. She slays but her music b4 2011 is deplorable. Her most innovative body of work and when she displayed real true artistry was 4 then The Black alber came and she found a way to truly merge the mess.

There's absolutely nothing experimental about Bey's music. :kii: She does well because she has the MARKETING and NAME. The end. Her music is no different from the artists who flop.

f

her music is the same as Fantasia, K Michelle's, Keyshia, Jaz, etc?

Trey, Chris, Jeremih etc?

No it isn't hun.   


:dead:


b

Clearly.
the girls mentioned must surely have songs like "Haunted" "Ghost" "Mine" on their mess.   :dead:

Brandy been making songs like that and tbh those songs you mentioned are no fucking different than some shit Gaga, Brit or Madge has done. Some of you girls kill me trying to give Queen too damn much. She slays but her music b4 2011 is deplorable. Her most innovative body of work and when she displayed real true artistry was 4 then The Black alber came and she found a way to truly merge the mess.

bby... :everythingok:

Reading August isn't gonna change the fact that the shit was garbage at the end of the day.

Btw August's music is kinda a breath of fresh air from the usual pop your pussy, suck my dick, bad bitch shit y'all go up for from other Urban R&B boys. His music has substance and he hasn't changed for the sake of selling records.

really? Did you not hear her last album?

Pretty Hurts was an epic, film soundtrack-themed banger

Haunted mixed trance music with TRAP music. :dead:

Drunk In Love was another infusion of trance/trap. & I still have no idea what instrument was used to introduce Jay's verse :dead: :uhh: :plzstop:

Blow was a nod to 80's disco and delivered a bridge which could've acted as its own song (Cherry >>)

No Angel was a new-age BOP.

Partition gave us fashion runway-vibes coupled with a few key strings taken from a Las Vegas, Crazy Horse show.

Jealous was alternative R&B/Hip-Hop

Rocket sounded like a country, baby-makin slow jam record

Mine slayed for its simplicity in vocal arrangements and beat structure, unexpectedly creating a towering and hypnotizing WITCH chant

XO leaned more toward a more pop sound, sure, but the overall song feels like it takes place in an ethereal kingdom.

**Flawless was straight HOOD, TRAP genius. Another simple track that quietly carried a lot of power

Superpower was such a specific record with a crescendo that started from the beginning. The song's peak happened at the very end.

Heaven kept its momentum while repeating the same couple of lines the entire time. who else??!

& Blue and all of the emotion she invoked on it simply floated a bitch up to the fckin stars

I mean, KII!

r u upset that Bey's last cd shat all over Bert's 2010-present discography?

If an artist that's predominantly Urban/R&B is making music that Britney Spears & Lady Gaga would create then I'd definitely label that "different" and "experimental" for that artist.

How are you going around "stanning" for someone when you don't even like the majority of their music? And that analogy with your parents is dumb.

There's absolutely nothing experimental about Bey's music.
really? Did you not hear her last album?

Pretty Hurts was an epic, film soundtrack-themed banger

Haunted mixed trance music with TRAP music. :dead:

Drunk In Love was another infusion of trance/trap. & I still have no idea what instrument was used to introduce Jay's verse :dead: :uhh: :plzstop:

Blow was a nod to 80's disco and delivered a bridge which could've acted as its own song (Cherry >>)

No Angel was a new-age BOP.

Partition gave us fashion runway-vibes coupled with a few key strings taken from a Las Vegas, Crazy Horse show.

Jealous was alternative R&B/Hip-Hop

Rocket sounded like a country, baby-makin slow jam record

Mine slayed for its simplicity in vocal arrangements and beat structure, unexpectedly creating a towering and hypnotizing WITCH chant

XO leaned more toward a more pop sound, sure, but the overall song feels like it takes place in an ethereal kingdom.

**Flawless was straight HOOD, TRAP genius. Another simple track that quietly carried a lot of power

Superpower was such a specific record with a crescendo that started from the beginning. The song's peak happened at the very end.

Heaven kept its momentum while repeating the same couple of lines the entire time. who else??!

& Blue and all of the emotion she invoked on it simply floated a bitch up to the fckin stars

I mean, KII!

r u upset that Bey's last cd shat all over Bert's 2010-present discography?

I hate how some will say blacks don't buy music. When your faves sell 65k first week that's from actual album sales. No label manipulation or digital mess. That's what I believe and feel in my heart plus our music is being undershipped. Hip-Hop is selling well digitally but even in stores those albums aren't being massed produced. The more albums you create, the more you sell.

If your label ships out 200k albums you're gonna have a first week under 90k because half of those albums are being given to others for free and the label more than likely won't pay to produce more.

I do agree with the undershipped statement. A lot of urban artists get undershipped

More black girls could rocked and be relevant if the labels wanted them to.

No. Ciara tried and horribly failed. We don't want our artists doing music not true to them.

Ugh the accuracy in these posts!!!!! I totally agree. A lot of people say R&B artists should step out and grow, which is true. but some of the shit they suggest is fucking bullshit.

I remember back in 2010, I was saying Monica should grow musically and I made a statement about her working with someone like Raphael Saadiq. "Oh no! David Guetta!" Would anyone really wanna hear Mo doing a "Forever In A Day" mess like Kelly Rowland? I think not.

I like the discussion in here. :stressed: It's something that needs to be discussed not just by black people but the music industry in general.

People can't support music they don't know about. PERIOD. You can say R&B isn't mainstream all you want but have you listened to Justin Bieber's latest album? It's R&B downe! Do you know Country music has become more R&B influenced? I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and there was this country playlist just blaring throughout the store and it was so R&B.  :plzstop: I gagged and had to Google some of the music! The melodies and even vocals are very R&B influenced. Country is a genre that thrives 'til this day. Their award shows are events and their artists book platinum consistently.

The artists being labeled 'Pop' thrive because they have a push and people KNOW their music. I think the R&B artists have a disadvantage because they don't get promotion but at the same time their people aren't checking for them like that even without the promotion. :stressed: Have you guys noticed that the sites that caters to the blacks are consistently slandering our artists, directors, celebs, etc.? The consensus of "Black Twitter" is built on making fun of our people and our celebs. Every time there's a BET Award show it's all about who can crack the funniest joke or make a meme the fastest for likes and kii's. Basically the presence of BLACK people isn't taken seriously and in turn that effects how their music is being sold. It hurts their marketing as well.

Perhaps we need white people to co-sign R&B the way the way they do with Hip-Hop so the niggas can purchase again! lol! kinda how the Black Lives Matter movement was started by a white man and the niggas followed like SHEEP!
biiiiiiiiiit

:stressed:

She preached a bit

and like just a couple days ago the gorls were going up over a Kmart snippet of something Keri did in like 2010 "OH SLAPS! go girl!" :dead:

like.... and then wonder why they faves ain't selling shit

we gotta stop setting them up for failure ... them not selling is actually a GOOD thing... let them flop and their career die. they had their fuckin chance

let's make way for the young black artists that have the musical talent and will take the genre different places

I don't think anyone was going up for that trap beat mess K. Michelle was posting on Instagram. I damn sure wasn't because she has way better songs than that. If I'm not mistaken, everyone dragged her for that.

The gorls kill me with releasing some boring mess and think they're changing the game.

But a girl like Dawn that does edge it up, doesn't get anywhere NEAR a record deal.
And basic boring girls like Jessie J, Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande get the biggest push imaginable.

These "new wave" R&B artists are just hard to market. Many won't touch

As far as the other more streamline R&B artists go, either they're just

True. Where I live urban radio has played Joe's version, and even a remix version with both of their vocals. Maybe R&B artists should start covering the top pop songs.

I think FKA and Aiko are in kinda good places though.

it's kinda cool to be the "underground secret" mess owt these days.

just not putting themselves out there like they should be.

I think FKA and Aiko are in kinda good places though.

it's kinda cool to be the "underground secret" mess owt these days.

gives your fans a feeling of exclusivity. and from what I've seen FKA gets a lot of critical acclaim and press.

True. In that regard, it's a double-edged sword.
I'd love to see FKA get more attention by the general public & be more successful.
If that were to happen, though, it would ruin her mystique in a sense.

Aiko is the one who's definitely straddling the fence.
My one concern with her is her being frequent with her releases.
She's not in a place to wait three/four years in between albums,
and something tells me that she's going to be that type.  :uhm:

FKA wouldn't get attention if she were fully white.
She doesn't make mainstream music.

there is no hope for R&b the numbers will continue to get lower and lower until finally the only artists representing us are all light skinned and give an other tea because right now it's the only thing that works.

Not saying thats the only reason Rih and Bey are so huge but I bet if you look at their stats the majority of their sales are probably from white people.

Ironically, I'd be willing to
bet that she has more white listeners than black.  :plzstop:
