When has Bey ever been just a urban gorl? Even in Destiny's Child and in her debut era.
She makes a blend of both.

It wasn't some master plan.

So why separate the discs in I Am Sasha.... ?

You gorls and this oblivious act  :plzstop:

Just admit the gorl wanted to play both sides of the fence.

I mean, Rih tried it too this era with FourFiveSeconds and Bitch Betta Have My Money.

It's pretty simple, and very obvious. What's the big fuss?


Because it was a theme of Beyonce Vs Sasha.  :uhh:
Not Gimmie those White Sales Vs MmmHmm *Neck Roll* Yeah

There's absolutely nothing experimental about Bey's music. :kii: She does well because she has the MARKETING and NAME. The end. Her music is no different from the artists who flop.

f

her music is the same as Fantasia, K Michelle's, Keyshia, Jaz, etc?

Trey, Chris, Jeremih etc?

No it isn't hun.

I like the discussion in here. :stressed: It's something that needs to be discussed not just by black people but the music industry in general.

People can't support music they don't know about. PERIOD. You can say R&B isn't mainstream all you want but have you listened to Justin Bieber's latest album? It's R&B downe! Do you know Country music has become more R&B influenced? I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and there was this country playlist just blaring throughout the store and it was so R&B.  :plzstop: I gagged and had to Google some of the music! The melodies and even vocals are very R&B influenced. Country is a genre that thrives 'til this day. Their award shows are events and their artists book platinum consistently.

The artists being labeled 'Pop' thrive because they have a push and people KNOW their music. I think the R&B artists have a disadvantage because they don't get promotion but at the same time their people aren't checking for them like that even without the promotion. :stressed: Have you guys noticed that the sites that caters to the blacks are consistently slandering our artists, directors, celebs, etc.? The consensus of "Black Twitter" is built on making fun of our people and our celebs. Every time there's a BET Award show it's all about who can crack the funniest joke or make a meme the fastest for likes and kii's. Basically the presence of BLACK people isn't taken seriously and in turn that effects how their music is being sold. It hurts their marketing as well.

Perhaps we need white people to co-sign R&B the way the way they do with Hip-Hop so the niggas can purchase again! lol! kinda how the Black Lives Matter movement was started by a white man and the niggas followed like SHEEP!
biiiiiiiiiit

What does Beyonc? marketing her music to black & white audiences have to do with anything? And who argued that she doesn't?

:dead:   

You said that black people's sales in music have to do with the music they make.

Beyonce is a weave swinging neck rolling bonafide ghetto fabulous diva. Her music is really no different than a lot of mess that's put out there. She takes hip hop trends, attaches her name and style to it and throws it out there. So it really has nothing to do with it.

Even when she tried to go more mainstream, her neck rolling hip hop mess reigned supreme over it all. So this makes your point null and void.

Do you fucking get it now?

LOONA.

Okay Iman so honkies are infusing R&B elements into their genre

Maybe the niggers should follow suit then like we already said.

:tellmemoreireallycare:   

Bentley!

and am mean... I know yawl hate it when I'm hard on niggers but...

I gotta keep it real... a strike ain't gone do shit :dead:

let's keep it real with ourselves for a minute
the real reason why these sales is like they are is because iTunes is set up to have a payment account on file of a valid card

niggers don't keep a damn bank accounts and they don't use debit cards :dead:

these niggers ain't pushing no "purchase now" button

and for that simple fact, the demographic that WOULD buy these rnb artist music
are excluded from the buying population!

I mean.. it just IS what it IS... I don't sugar coat just because niggers are the same color as me

You for real right now? :uhh: There's nothing different about Bey's music and those women. Nothing at all.  :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: :uhh: She simply has a great marketing team and a NAME. She built a brand for herself and that's why she thrives. They all sing about the same topics and have similar productions. I'll say that Jaz' voice is more soulful and Keyshia and K. are more urban.

I know y'all about to list those couple of songs from her last album or those boring Pop ballads as being "experimental" but nah :dead:
