Hot 100! Work! Top 10's!
But Anti has still not sold 1 million copies 18 months later and the tour numbers are an absolute wreck.
She won 0 VMA's and 0 Grammys.
Are ya'll seeing a trend here?
At some point, she has to transition into something more than The Hot 100. You live by the Hot 100, you die by it. Which is why they couldn't even put her album out until she had a hit. And that was over a year later.
Beyonce just kinda puts her shit out & stands in her stilettos. Not every bitch is able!
This is EXACTLY my point. Anybody can release quick hits.
This bitch is 12 years into her career and is still kinda relying on the same tactics that Selena and them are using. Like ![uhh :uhh:](https://www.brandysource.net/Smileys/Bsource Smileys/uhh.gif)
But fashion icon! and stuff...
!!!!!
And I think she knows it too. Which is why all of the interviews leading up to Anti, she talked about how she doesn't feel a connection to much of her older music. But how can she? She literally was recording an album a year and was being presented demos with her choosing the best one. She compared recording to "shoe shopping" and Jay Brown compared her to an iPhone. Saying it was important to release a "new model" every year.

That says so much in itself.
She thought Kanye & Paul would give her some "artistic" credibility and transform her image, but when that CRUMBLED.... they ran back to the formula that worked. "Rude Boy" 3.0 featuring Drake.
Rihanna makes dope music. Anti was one of my favorite 2016 releases, but let's call a thing a thing.
