Oh. You don't show to the Lady of Soul awards, so you are not an R&B artist

[Mel.]

she doesn't show up for ANY urban award show.
she's not considered r&b anymore...

it is what it is..

Miguel's album was CATASTROPHIC

I hate it too, but it was appreciated by the critics.

[yummy]

Well, Chris doesn't make "slave music" so I figured all of the non-slaves would show out and support...guess not.

[Young]

It's NIGGERS

If it ain't rap; they don't really support like that.

And Chris has a lot of White fans too to keep him afloat

[Mel.]

they did.
and thus why his sales shitted on every other urban release this year

that's because his audience >>>

I find it a little strange to blame it on black people. I do not agree with that.

It is easy math.

IF blacks actually are the main ones buying black artist's music and whites for whites then the following applies.

Blacks make up 12-13% of the US population. While white people make up roughly 70% of the US population. So more than four times as many people in the United States are white than black.

That means by default a white person is expected to sell four times as much or even more than a black counterpart. So if you manage to do half, or a quarter of a white act you are perfectly fine.

JB: 522k
CB: 140k

He did exactly what is expected when you look at the black/white ratio in the United States.

then why is he ranting on raving on twitter about not being appreciated? 

[Sinpool]

If you wanna get technical R&B acts actually do better than pop acts who havent established themselves as a big name.

I mean Call Me Maybe was HUGE, but Carly Rae Jepsen's last two albums flopped to the pits of hell.

I just think people aren't selling.

[asdfghjkl]

i miss 106&park only place for the urban acts to go and promote and now it's gone

BET ain't shit for that tbqfh

and where the fuck is KeKe's Talk Show ?

BET needs some new promotional mess for the artists

[Mel.]

I'm sure many of you steal his albums.
