And y'all sound dumb

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.

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


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.

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.

But oh "Becky sold more in Asia"

It's rather "Becky from round the way sells more domestically than the hardest working black girl in showbiz does"

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 am sure their budgets for songwriters, producers, studios etc. is also miles larger than any black artist has.

It's no wonder white acts often have more high-end music, because they have more access to expensive producers and more costly writing sessions etc.

that's all I've been saying. I mean it's barely debatable.
And there's nothing to cry over or ask for. it's fact and you kind of have to deal. this is why I was wondering where the argument was coming from. it's literally as simple as black and white.

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.

Pretty much

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. 


:hmph:

FUCK Bey

d

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.

Why do I see Bey's name mentioned in here? At the end of the day her competition is the Taylor's and Katy's. Sor'.
