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.

But she gets all these platforms and endorsements etc. A KeKe Palmer would never get that kind of exposure.

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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

yummy

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.

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.  :plea:

g

Mo's target audience wouldn't support or buy that mess.

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

Vivica was feeling her fucking PUSS when she went to South Africa.
ssss

they treated her like a queen. :dead:

Over here, black women do everything they can to APPEAL to these white people....they carry themselves with "class", they sew blond wigs and weaves into their fucking heads....they pick up a glowstick..and still most of the white gorls give them a

LOONA.

And Keith Ci's sales aren't any better even with the mass amount of exposure she gets.

Y'all need to stop blaming everything on the label.

If anything you should be glad some of these girls are still signed w/ the numbers they bring in.

:plzstop:

Why doesn't BET have a Pop and Rock category though for Black pop artists (Jason DeRulo, OMI, etc. ) and black rock acts.

Are they racist for only having R&B, Gospel and hip hop?

We are all biased towards our own people, I do not think it is a coincidence, that even most of the Euro gorls on here are still BLACK or non-white.

And they make sure they keep their mouths SHUT anytime racial mess goes down.

You will not even see a SUBtweet of disgust or support of a movement from 'fas.
She stays far away from it all. And that has nothing to do with us. It's all about making sure she's in good standing with Massah.

No shade
