so pissed rn

bout to go drag some Atlantic execs on Twitter

I want justice

Andthecategoryis...

MUVA has been done so wrong by herself, the record labels, music execs and producers chile. TAOL is a bop to me. Bran is more of an album girl, she doesn't make big monumental/blockbuster HITS but I want her to make another HITTTTTTTTTT that sticks like GRITS.

TAOL was a good single imo.

I think the ball dropped with WIS2U.

Harlem

Afrodisiac the song would've worked back in 04 for sure... when you think about Yeah & Milkshake being popular then, Afro could've fit right in too, it only needed the right video & choreo...

TAOL was good though, but I Tried or WYWB should've been the follow up not WIS2U

It's so cray how TAOL and WIS2U aged the best but they weren't the best singles at that time, especially the latter.

TAOL was definitely the best option considering what was actually on the album. Where You Wanna Be should've been the follow up though, like Ye fucking said


FUCK Bey

Where You Wanna Be is the best song, but it's just not a 1st single track.

sorry

But focus and I tried are the best tracks hands down

not sure if they where single material tho

L0NZ.

They were both good ass singles.

I dont see why yall always say I Tried. Yall think it would have given a Cry Me A River moment just because its a dramatic Timbaland beat? N. She was no Justin Timberlake fresh off some NSync slay. I could not even see Urban catching on to that, so that leaves the TRL crowd to latch on? Im doubting that. Its an amazing song but it shouldnt have been a single over TAOL OR WIS2U

Where U Wanna Be wouldnt have done shit.

SSDDDDSSSSSSSSS

Honestly, that's something I've always said in the past.... there's nothing on Afrodisiac that I strongly feel wouldve been a hit. :dead:

Everything either sounds cheap or just simply not radio friendly. Nodding Off n Where You Wanna Be are the only messes I could potentially see doing something. I never used WIS2U until RECENT years. It's easily one of my favs from the era now.

I agree that the album was not radio-friendly but TAOL hook was VERY uneventful. The clip of the verse got me hyped and I was so disappointed when I listened to the full song.  :uhh:

"Where U Wanna Be" had a better melody but I don't think it was first single material either.

I'm not sure which song could have saved the album sales-wise but I wish they released the better tracks as the album was not radio-friendly anyway.
