Because she was never looking for her "due".  :dead:

Do you think that you get credit for your contribution to '90s music?

I don?t know. I don?t really pay attention to just due, credit or acknowledgement. I?m just trying to get my music out to the universe and trying to get to as many people as possible. I know that I was attached to a system who have specific expectations for numbers, charts and figures so I understand that being business, but that?s not the place I?m operating from. I?m not looking for awards, charts or pats on the back. I just want to make people feel really good, to fulfill any requests that come my way as much as possible and to be in love with my music for no other reason other than it feels good. I don?t really have any expectations.

I feel like some exec may have tried to take advantage of her and she wouldn't comply ..
And they sorta black balled her

Didn't she have a lot back & forth mess with Interscope?

To a certain extent. It initially began with the Fear of Flying era. They wouldn't allow her full creative control.

Aqua' good for you for getting into her discography. It's solid.

CHOKE

Don't all flops say that tho?

She's been saying that since the beginning of her career even in her prime.  :dead:

whatever

I think she didn't come back right.

In 2006 I remember people anticipating her and when she dropped ayo radio was playing it saying she's back etc but she didn't come back with a smash. Then they tried lock u down and ridin...she lost the little momentum she had. Had she released a bigger smash like a Fergie glamorous, Nelly F Promiscious girl etc she would still be around.

Then she went indie and the rest is history.

I'm still pissed Fallen flopped.  Sis had a big single with Wo, cute vid, and needed momentum.  Fallen was pop enough for the white girls to get in, but I never saw it promoted or heard it on radio.  :fuming:

whatever

Wished she stuck with Interscope and finished Control Freak with Dr. Dre, Lil' Jon, and Sean Garrett.

Fallen was a terrible choice.  :dead: Should've went with Why You Gotta Look So Good?

whatever

Should've released taste this and had 50 cent in the video or somebody big.

Made a video similar but entirely different like Ashanti "rain on me"

"Taste this" had a hip hop beat and sound like it could be a hit in 2003.

Moodring was full of potential singles. Can't see Taste This being a single though. It's more Quiet Storm R&B than anything.

Sovereign.

'Moodring' is so good! And my best friend is in love with 'Fallen'. 'Step' should've been the follow up single.

Lazarus

It's arguably her best work/album from a fan viewpoint. Personally, Fear of Flying is my fave.
