Drai' is right ... I could compare 'Dele and Trailor to Beyonce all day but

*sighs*

the bitch is THE queen ok ... hands down. And every white bitch in music has said so :dead:
regardless of how many numbers come out

I think the bigger issue is how do we take control over our own promotion? How can we take the marketing of our black artists out of the whites hands?

that is one thing I will agree with. the labels just aren't bothering to promote them ... at all :dead:

am mean... at least run ads on centric and TVone :dead:
post flyers up on MLK boulevards across the nation. They're doing a horrible job of reaching that demographic and encouraging them to buy

that coupled with the fact, there's not alot of free money floating around in the rnb demographic to buy the albums is why we're seeing the HUGE decline this fast

I mean yea we complain about ppl not buying alberms. but some ppl out here are deciding between gas for 3 days or the new Chris Brown alberm :dead:

the label executives said fuck it... just throw your shit out and hope for the best :kii:


LOONA.

How about y'all address the fact that Tyrone & Keisha aren't buying R&B music when they're apart of the target audience these black artists are trying to reach?

If you already know the type of country America is where white is right then there's a good chance you're aware that Stefanie & David were never gonna buy a nigger's mess in the first place, so why are you complaining about them?

White people love patronizing us. As their privilege remains intact regardless of what they say. But I won't even go there. :dead:

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.
!!!!

and Hip-Hop has done a great job of evolving and staying "cool", building partnerships with the sporting culture in America

but the minute that runs dry and becomes "not cool"

the Drake's and Kendrick Lamar's will disappear too... cause Amy and Tanner aren't listening to the lyrics :dead: they just trying to fit in

just like the white boys were in the 90's listening to rnb were :dead:

yummy

nfbfbf

not bent giving a tamar sigh before praising bey

I am crying out to JESUS. "Halo" and IIWAB were both huge.
Not a ballad making you whitewashed.

See how he limited her to Urban music.

I don't understand why blacks seems to think singing anything outside of grease makes you whitewashed. It's called experimenting and maybe if these niggers tried it a bit they'd see some sales.

I don't consider singing about bitches weed and money over a trap beat being "R&B" either so I don't want to hear anybody saying anything about "selling out" to be successful.  :kii:

Nobody patronizes Beyonc?

She's just THAT bitch and she's much more than sales like these gurs you keep bringing up.

I just don't get the obsession some of y'all have with r&b artists selling more :dead:

As long as great music is out there (which it is), why does it matter that other audiences don't use?
well unless they go independent, their budgets to make some really good music and deliver great visuals to the fans, can be significantly cut down due to low sales
