legend and Cudi were successful but also had huge smash records out the gate and flourished when music was still Ye’s focus

Tony Williams never really had a successful solo career lmao huh

Francis and The Lights I’m not sure was ever a GOOD artist but again it’s not like he’s super huge, great music tho

Verdict is out on Shake

but if she doesn't have access to resources, her own masters (I'm assuming, maybe she does have her masters) and her label/Kanye are holding her back what can she do lmao?

Tweets and blog posts aren’t promotion and marketing

If Rihanna drops an album it’s gon be ads before every YouTube vid, Times Square ads, media appearances if that’s what she feels like doing, magazine covers on big publications, etc.

A shade room post and sassy tweets aren’t an adequate replacement for that

Instead of blaming others for marketing why don't you just admit that you're not that marketable

Teyana is always so dramatic all the time but she never bothers to do any self-reflection

Def Jam still hasn't figured out how streaming works

Go there for career death

Thank you for bringing up the fact that their music was a factor.

I remember reading the Ye purposely put Legend all over CD to promote his new artist.

Think similar thing happened with Tony but his music wasn’t hitting so he gracefully remained a writer/background vocalist.

Cudi self explanatory.

Cy Hi is like the modem Rhymefest and he is eating from the credits.

Francis we don’t have to go too far. His song was the Theme song for one of the biggest reality shows.

Ants is not even GOOD but he was all over Yhandi etc.

070 Shake all over the GOOD weeks.

Can’t say he doesn’t care about the artists . Once you get a platform you have to spread your wings, easy as that.

looks like projection to me

not at all lol

but did you see any of her labels promoting her like that before?

also, swap out radios for playlists & it’s basically same thing

Hey man i'm not the one who threw a fit and announced my own early retirement because im not a superstar :(

try not posting like an loser when you come back from this mute

So something like this

And idk why you acting like she Rihanna level status for her to get Rihanna attention, u also ignore my point about the playlist and streaming service thing

I was right about people ITT having skewed idea on what is marketing and promo. Sad that you even had to bring receipts

Exactly my point. Times have changed. I can get on a playlist and so can you. Back in the days it was something exclusive.

what is a label’s job if you can do all that on your own then?

No you cant

I believe that's where all of this is coming from when she speaks about resources. The label probably cut her budget for her next projects because of her poor sales as they don't see it as a worthy investment.

I dont see how these two ideas contradict each other. She never said she cant air out grievances you’re putting words in her mouth, that’s an excellent argument technique.
