    okay, and with all that said and done, you’re still choosing to say that the labels haven’t been s***ty towards Teyana & she should be doing more for them???

    It’s business bro I get how leverage works

    i’d just have my full name on my profile if i wanted people to know that

    you’re very clearly in the wrong here to everyone who knows how labels work, the only people you’re fooling are those who don’t. you’re an indie artist, so you should know better. there’s no reason for you to be spewing all this nonsense on here knowing what you know through experience about labels.

    I won’t say who but I SPOKE with someone associated with GOOD and the advice they gave me is not to wait for the label to do something for you. You have to go out of your way and do things yourself, if the music is good it’ll pay out. This advice came from a GOOD rep.

    People blaming the label should known that Kanye had to pay and do all his promo in the beginning. If his music wasn’t good enough we wouldn’t have been here.

    Exactly. I don't even think Rihanna got the level of help Teyana got early on. Rihanna blew up through solo songs. Teyana blew up dancing in a Kanye music video and then failed when people heard her music without kanye associated.

    so this s*** just tripped and fell into being one of the biggest records of that year

    Did Pon De Replay get marketed to drop alongside the next big Jay Z single? Because that is the marketing Teyana got with her album. "Hey we are dropping new albums from Nas, Kanye, Kanye and Kid Cudi, and then Teyana drops after them!" That trumps any kind of VH1/BET/MTV push where tons of irrelevant artists got airplay there and did nothing.

    Also, nobody stopped Teyana from dropping solo songs. She got to make the videos she wanted, the music she wanted, and she got to perform on big platforms like Ellen or Red Bull. She got a undeservedly huge push for a 30k album sales artist.

    the thing that made pon de replay succeed is the same thing teyana has been asking for lmao what the f***

    Def Jam's Resources

  • Dec 6, 2020

    2 Chainz is a rap veteran with a plethora of gigantic rap hits and this dude is still begging for a fully Kanye produced album

    Teyana got that AND she dragged him into betraying his vision to give her what she wanted from her album. She is simply ungrateful.

    implying Teyana has a single song even remotely touching Pon De Replay lmfao

    You act like money and marketing is all that is needed in order to recreate that.

    She got a big push and the numbers reflected poorly

    because you're a Kanye West stan and not the target demographic of Teyana's music you think this is an adequate substitute for actual promo and rollout and that's hilarious

    imagine if Rihanna's whole promotion plan was based around being "The first lady of the Roc" or Roc adjacent things like Run This Town or being on a Jay Z compilation album or Jay Z loosies

    LMAO
