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.

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.
From videos/performances/etc.

Her perfectionist self ruined it for every urban girl to be honest. Now you gotta do cartwheels, massive MANES, sickening body & booty plus a kelly price vocals all in one.

It's not fair.

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.

and I hate to say this but nothing Beyonce, Nicki or Rihanna create is innovative so let's cut that shit short about creating better material lol

I agree.

Jaz put together a masterpiece and it pretty much went unnoticed.

!!!!!!

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

True.

THey had Jaz dancing around with puppets for this sickening song
im all for a cute gimmick but keep that mess far away from a song that is this fucking soulfully flawless

nnnnnnnnnn

I never seen this vvideo before what in the hell? This video wasn't a good look at all.

But country music is not re-inventing the wheel either, but they always doing unbelievable numbers.

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.

The same can be said about Rap & Rock. Those genres are always relevant and at the forefront.

I agree, there is a reason why Vivica A. Fox is deemed a superstar guest in African countries, but Jessica Simpson is probably a nobody over there.

And if somebody asks us to name rock musicians, we'd all think of Lenny Kravitz.

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

[BrokenHeartsHeal]

More black girls could rocked and be relevant if the labels wanted them to. They could have put Lil Mo in the studio with Dr. Luke, snatched her body up, new wig, new life and some fertility control but Noooo we only have one or two machine for black girls (Rih), the rest of yall on your own.

Maybe you would     

[yummy]

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.
