One Album Wonders: Label Conflicts & The Rise of Streaming | Reaction

[@vantej1169]

hold on cause sza went without a album for years and still stayed relevant

[@justinblvd]

The music industry is evil.😭 If the label feels you’re not making them money they’ll shelve you and keep you from leaving their label. Independent is the way to go build your own fan base and grow from there.

[@bodigames]

Those who start independent make a deal with a label later on in their life too. So the label wins anyway.

[@TallBoiii]

@@bodigames Chance ain’t signed yet

[@justinblvd]

@@bodigames Depends some artist do. While others artist just sign distribution deals to get their music out there. Distribution deals and singing to a parent company two different things.

[@lisabermingham5548]

But it is business after all… if you’re not delivering unfortunately you get booted, that’s how it works everywhere.

[@justinblvd]

@@lisabermingham5548 That’s not business. Dropping an artist I understand but shelving them (keeping them signed because you can and making sure they don’t make money anywhere else) is corny and unjust period.

[@galliano100]

Cardi kinda lost her momentum imo. She gets pregnant at the WORST times ever. After the success of Invasion Of Privacy, Bruno Mars invited her to go on a world tour together. She declined because of her pregnancy. After that delivery she should’ve gone on a world tour to gain more fans worldwide. Then WAP came. She should’ve dropped her second album right after WAP because that moment was so big! And then go on a WAP Worldtour with Megan Thee Stallion.. but no she got pregnant. Now all her shit is flopping and people do not care for her anymore. No big collabs, nothing.

[@jacobplays6917]

Me when I lie:

[@chick1800]

Pregnant or no pregnant that girl ain’t got no talent… she needs to give it up

[@makeitright3810]

I mean even after pregnancy you can’t just jump back in as if you did not just bring a human to the world. I admit that she could definitely do way more, but she has pretty much reached a level in the industry where even if she is inconsistent. She’ll still be at that high level.

[@mitsui7618]

The way you comment about her pregnancies and babies like it’s bad it’s weird. Fame and music clearly isn’t EVERYTHING to her. She has a family and doesn’t need to leave the baby she just gave birth to to go back to performing if she doesn’t want to (especially if she just popped out a baby

[@greg2797]

imma be honest... literally every dark skin female artist is being held back.

[@charles1413]

If you saw the amount of white artists that go nowhere in their career.. I don't think color plays that much of a part anymore. Labels are just veryyy hesitant of backing anyone that is not "assured sucess"

[@BruceLigno]

@@charles1413 Right. We're also in an era where a lot of R&B is decent, but not catchy AT ALL. You go back to the 2000s, or even Ella Mai when she came out in 2017-ish and the catchiness is there. People ate it up. I think black women, or at least R&B songwriters, are struggling to make catchy songs, which is why it's so bad right now.

[@ajat3202]

@@BruceLigno no, the labels don't value r&b like that. Of course, their labels are dedicated to r&b. Overall it's mostly pop artists who are pushed. India Shawn, mereba, Xavier Omar, Victoria Monet, Ro James, lucky Daye, & muni long have amazing songwriterss

[@BruceLigno]

@@ajat3202 I don't disagree. I said catchy. I've listened to some Muni Long, and her songs are good, just not catchy. A catchy song is always what's played, so of course those artists are not going to get push. Back to Ella Mai, her song had ZERO press. It was catchy and people liked it, so it got popular a year after it was released because it was something people liked to hear and it spread naturally. That is rare to hear now. However, labels probably don't value R&B, but that's naturally going to happen as time progresses. Rock literally was dead for a good 10 years until recently, lol. R&B will definitely make a comback someday, I just hope soon.

[@ajat3202]

@@BruceLigno catchy isn't necessarily what's played. The radio station favors certain artists. There is no reason the same songs are being played over & millions of songs are being released

Dee is not gonna let Sza rest about her pronunciation lmaooooo

[@tgreen9774]

Sza and ariana

[@rileybryantlam]

It’s just sad because there’s quite a few really great artists still out there who are creative and passionate about their art and they tremendously put in the work to showcase that, but because they’re sole drive isn’t to be a TikTok star and/or they’re not all teens/college-age kids, their singles and albums get brushed under the rug. I’ve been asking myself for a couple years now…these are the artists and bodies of work that y’all wanna look back on in 20 years? Cause lord have mercy, no thank you. And I’m 23, so I know I shouldn’t be feeling that way about “my generation,” but girl…this ain’t it!

[@jujubee6030]

Right. There are so many underground artist who are making music that sounds 10 times better than these mainstream artist.

[@daboss289]

With the release of SZA's S.O.S. atleast part of this ain't aging well

[@KingKenTM]

Cardi only has one album bcus her and her label is waiting for Nicki to drop. They wanna know how much payola they gotta use. If Nicki does 200k, they’ll make sure she does 250k. If Nicki does 300k, they’ll make sure she does 400k. Notice her album was “99% done” (her words) when Nicki was teasing an album release 3 years ago. What’s the hold up? Lol They know what they’re doing.

[@amahlengcobo8315]

BINGO!!!

[@Michael-bx4ql]

Cardi’s album won a Grammy over Victory Lap by Nipsey and Daytona by Pusha which were both classics… when I knew the Grammy’s was trash frfr

[@brentthompson1607]

Cardi B had the most popular album so it made sense that her album is the face of rap for that year.

[@Michael-bx4ql]

@@brentthompson1607 lol. Popular doesn’t mean the best

[@brentthompson1607]

@@Michael-bx4ql no, but Cardi's was the most popular and was critically acclaimed so it made more sense to give it to her because it balanced both.

[@Michael-bx4ql]

@@brentthompson1607 “best” rap album… “BEST”. It wasn’t the best. Spin it however you want

[@brentthompson1607]

@@Michael-bx4ql there are many criteria for what constitutes best. And music is subjective. At the end of the day, the committee composed of fellow artists, music critics and the likes decided Cardi had the best album. That is why she has the Grammy. It is just funny because you never hear this argument used against male rappers. Like when Macklemore won, and even said he didn't deserve it, he did not recieve this backlash.

[@xdinosx3056]

"Is it girl"😂😂😭😭😭😭 you killed me there

[@littlemayo7136]

Do you not understanding sza most of the time is kind of crazy to me cuz there's literally only certain verses on certain songs that are hard to understand like girl how do you survive a rap album It would be nice for azalea to find a release in album listen to her album is entirety and it was amazing But due to the fact that she's only been ever taught how to hate people instead of love them it's definitely held her back in her career probably got a black ball too And I never realized that cardi B didn't release a second album either up until this video Also just thought about this scissors appearance that dimension we need to take to account that she was like what in high school like 16 and 17 when she first started releasing music isn't she in her 30s now of course she looks kind of different from going from a literal child like a grown adult

[@LoveByNicole]

Cardi B hasn't released an album yet because her label is waiting for Nicki Minaj to announce a date for hers lol. They didn't drop Cardis first album until Nicki gave a date. Now notice Cardi hasn't released an album since dropped Queen. Atlantic think they slick. Cardi too big of an artist to not have a second album.

[@ivyreid7]

Cardio has never had a solo tour either...

Y’all know cardi is a perfectionist y’all saw how many times she pushed iop UNTILL she was readu and she felt like it was perfect

[@azuben413]

It’s not only that she’s a perfectionist. I feel like she ‘subconsciously’ makes the wrong career choices music wise these days. - She really should’ve focused less on Offset and toured around the time she dropped IOP, because that was when she was green in the industry. Most of the times when people get pregnant by bums (cause she deserves better) before they capitalize on their album it doesn’t bode well. - She also should’ve dropped an album or mixtape when WAP or UP came out, because that was when the expectation was high because of the way her first album era was ended. And I get that Kulture came into the picture and every child is a blessing, but it kinda messed certain things up for her.
