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

n

well why do they support rap/hip hop so much then? most of them just view R&B to be corny, period  :dead: "sanging" isn't in with that crowd right now. But the industry changes all the time, so im sure it'll be popular again

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:

my bby

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

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

:tellmemoreireallycare:

Even if they did they will go unnoticed due to lack of promotion and exposure.


BAPHOMET.

it doesn't even have to be off the recent mess.
I could go back to the beginning... 2003 and start from there.  :dead:

They don't make the same  kind of music and the production is def' different.


FUCK Bey

d

Bey has always been GREASE. She's pretty much the only artist who successfully stuck to their R&B/Urban roots, while still somehow remaining mainstream and on top. The general public clearly prefers to see her twerking over a greased out MESS than singing about x's and o's. The thing I like about Bey is that she quickly learns from her mistakes and just gives the people what they fucking WANT.



LOONA.

It's the same!

So why isn't she FLOPPING like the rest?

"exposure! promo!"

See Ciara & Kelly Row

And Bey funds most of her mess

Didn't Ci already do that and flop?

And she has huge exposure/support   



LOONA.

5 fckn TV shows?

Bleached wig and light skin like KWEE but still FLOPPING

ssss

but yawl really think the nigger demographic is the reason Drake is selling, I mean they support him in the sense they listen and co-sign for street cred :dead:

but they are downloading and sifting Kendrick and J Cole for free like they do RnB artist :kii:

but
:butwait!:
african-americans in Hip-Hop have managed to do the same thing that african-americans in sports have. they are COOL :dead:

there are millions more white children wearing Kevin Durant jerseys than black children

Hip-Hop is thriving off of white sales. I know yawl didn't want me to say it but :kii:

it's just the sad reality of this country and financial differences in the social classes, that fall along the race lines. it's truly sad.

That's all I'm saying.

She's ghetto as fuck.  :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
But let's keep it ALL the way real, she's light skinned and pretty, and on top of that she has talent.
You know us blacks luh us a light skindededededed gorl. And whites could careless but luh them some fucking ghetto deep fried mess :ohwow: It's not rocket science why things worked out for her.

And again, this takes nothing from her talent because a big reason she's where she is now, is because of her work ethic.

BUt let's put all the cards on the table, keep it all the way real and not be delusional about it all. It has nothing to do with type of music.

Rihanna sung about checking and verifying someone's dick size over a hip hop caribbean beat and got a #1 on Billboard. after releasing a powerful ballad that damn near went unnoticed.

im sure barely anyone even knew what a fucking "rude boy" is.

Consumers of rap are mostly white males. This was spooked years ago.

no no no dont get me wrong. The whites are a huge part of why Hip Hop sales so much, but dont think for a moment that the black kids that deem it to be "cool" aren't more inclined to purchase that over "R&B".
