As a consumer, I’m interested in what JT has to say. I would definitely be interested in a solo project from her because I believe she actually writes her rhymes.

😂😂😂😂 if u believe they write anything youre crazy. Them chicks are just faces they taught how to read raps

One thing I know is that good music will always prevail. A lot of these artist just don’t make good music. Period. Bars will always prevail

[@dawb86]

Overall yes but unfortunately the kids now have been conditioned to value clout/lifestyle over actual quality/skills. That’s the whole reason a group like City Girls has a career in the first place lol…

[@jdillihay]

@@dawb86 you are 1000 percent correct lol I just feel like some point won’t the same old like “ratchet” music get annoying tho? Don’t get me wrong it’s some city girls songs I like lol but I can’t listen to them all day. I could never listen to a full city girls project. With all due respect to them lol

[@torrenceedwards6837]

Chole and Haile definitely should NOT break up they're better together side projects is fine but they're MAGIC together

[@sivuyilejonas]

Their 15 minutes of fame has ended. Time to pack it up. It was a good run

I agree. You gave dem an extra 10 minutes cus for me I've BEEN OVER da "HYPE"😅

[@jaye5926]

they are rich now so mission accomplished 🤷

[@T11CVV]

There’s only like 50 people in music and entertainment than been around and relevant for over a decade it’s a small group. They did good tbh time to diversify the clout imo.

[@iDewThis4Yu]

Yeah ..look at those losers..rich af and successfully are well off for the rest of their lifes.. HA losers!

[@user-dv3kq3rm4h]

@@T11CVV So true. Nobody seems to realise that only an elite few maintain relevance, across genres, in the music industry past a decade. I think it's more than 50 but it's still a relatively small number.

[@Princessmustache85]

“Y’all naming some names in this city girl talk” lmao

[@MusikkJunkiee]

chloe and hailey definitely need to do both. it’s possible for them to stay in a group and make solo music too.

[@mikediddyTV]

They definitely need to come back once Halle is done promoting her album.

[@claualexis1737]

album or baby?@@mikediddyTV

[@cookiecrumble2098]

Halle*

[@kimmygxld]

Agreed!

[@butterflyygyrlsworld5106]

As Joe asked, “PUT YOUR LABEL HATS ON”: They could do like OutKast did their last album (since similar to these girls, they had creative differences and interests) Release ONE last album together but have separate/double CD’s (A side/B side) doing their own thing, then let the outcome/success of that determine where they go from there.

[@jayc5756]

They garbage ma. It is what it is.

[@sycofya1677]

Na we good, nobody want to hear those 2 anymore 😂😂

[@ianwest1624]

Outcast has talent the city girls don't. There are too many current hit making women artists to waste time on washed-up has beens.

[@Geeandrezzi]

If they can’t even sell 5,000 units as a group, who the hell is buying a double album of them making ratchet singles?

[@GhostMikey0]

“Do like OutKast” is crazy. These harlots aren’t even on the level of Rae Sremmurd and they couldn’t do it properly 🤣

[@Lovely-ff7uv]

A novelty act. Those usually don't stand the test of time

[@angelicamichelle827]

We have to be honest here. They didn’t pop off because they are talented. It was timing of a Miami sound with two young girls willing to get as raunchy as they needed to. That had an era. Everybody was hoe-ing and naked. Maybe that is becoming played. Finally.

[@VaughnieP]

I couldn't agree more. Idt City Girls should split but I do think they are going to have to pivot from their normal Florida sound. As a Florida girl myself, I like their music. I will say it needs to evolve and keep up with the times tho and this album sounded like a bunch of old records they just needed to get off.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kevinbean7140]

Or maybe they're too PG at this point, which is wild but the newer female rappers are even raunchier

[@bennisford1712]

🎯🎯💯

[@datdude1021]

Nobody really checking for them because they took too long in between projects to make something new, and in that hiatus too many young female rappers jumped in their lane and pushed them off the road.

[@dennislewis7047]

Hip Hop is over saturated. The same thing happened to Rock,Hard Rock and Metal.

[@wharris123184]

They should have let Flip get his George Michael take in 😂

[@ShesGottaFastCar]

Diddy split them up already… they just now realizing it. IMO

[@thewildlife4160]

“Artist shouldn’t follow trends” i know that went over a lot of people heads

[@b.h.3800]

Joe give us 1 more album, I've just listened to every joe budden album/mixtape over 2 days, this man was special with the pen.

[@fallinstr2098]

It makes sense for them to break up if you heard the interview. It came off like JT was the more serious one about the music and Miami was kinda over it. And JT comes off as the better artist imo. And JT was saying last week that she was thinking about a new rap name and asking fans what it should be. That kinda comes off as creating a new space for herself as an artist. Idk im js

[@dmtmediabrothers]

Brother in the black like super sayain Ish

[@cosmichooligan]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ianwest1624]

Honestly, they always sucked but now there are other newer women artist. They're washed and should accept it already.

[@jayc5756]

FACTS!!!

[@IsthatD13]

Need more hood content from them too it’s been a lot industry pushing for them.

[@ChanelStar1]

*That intro was WILD*

[@Wideout4]

George Michael reference had me in the edge of my seat 😂😂😂😂😂

[@OTKP]

JT should go solo for sure while Miami I think should go do more of her Podcast stuff that seems to be more her lane more than rapping

[@atowari]

Someone tell Ish Justin Timberlake is literally back releasing new music with N’SYNC right now

[@OmarScruggs]

Lightskin homie knew what he was talking about. Rest of them didn't know MJ came back to the group. Shit even Jordsn came back to the Bulls😅

[@nmw654]

For a short period of time, Michael doing his family favors doesn’t justify him saying a label should want to break them up. Commenters are thinking form City Girls perspective, they are speaking from the labels side.

[@Lord_Clarke]

I don't really pay attention to them but I can at least tell that Yung Miami got something going for her with that podcast/show, JT need to find something quick cuz music look like it's over for both of them.

[@biggmonie]

That Usher single came out a LONG time ago

[@AllMightMedia]

lol so when AK says this Saucy has a fit. I want to see how theshaderoom fiends react to this

[@FreePlayMode]

Emmany is right on this one. The City girls as an entity are not marketable right now. Their project flopped, they have no singles to generate interest from, they've publicly one on airwaves and stated that this isn't what they wanted. So if the artists don't believe in the project, why should the consumer? It would be in the record label's best interest to put The City Girls as an entity/brand on the shelf and allow JT to do a solo project, and Yung Miami to go off and build her brand outside of music. It's a calculated risk by the record company because they're hoping that as individuals they are able to generate enough interest in them to where they have two fan bases they can harness from and then bring them back together as the entity that is City Girls. Emmany was right that all big solo artists EVENTUALLY went back and did a group project at the height of their careers. Michael Jackson got back with the Jacksons during the height of his solo career. Bobby Brown reunited with New Edition at the height of his solo career at a time when NOBODY from New Edition was poppin outside of him. Beyonce went back and did a Destiny's Child album after blowing up as a solo. Justin Timberlake JUST RECENTLY did music with N*Sync for a movie soundtrack. David Ruffin had multiple stints with The Temptations after solo success.

[@Wahidkhalid]

Yes

[@charlita25]

“Yo I got something dropping this week lol 😂 or next week “ 😩

[@AdoseofAlana_]

Basically do a hiatus without breaking up

[@IsthatD13]

2:25 so why can’t they stay together work on their brands separately and still figure out the next best important worthy move for the city girls. Which right now I feel like would be a fire video from RAW & post new instagram videos of how they were together when they first came out 🤷🏽‍♂️ everybody is jumping to break the group up 😭

[@jasminesanders6034]

Jt should go solo she actually has a passion for rap and music. Yung Miami reminds me of the popular girl in high school that’s a air head and only want to be famous and in the spot light. Hints Diddy that’s all we know about her now. And that’s all she ever be is one of Diddy’s playmate.

[@umesodoku526]

They named their album after what we'd all rather do than listening to their music.

[@NottiTV330]

Then they gon have to give them a new contract

[@strangerdangeraries]

6k....oh that's triple plastic is Passaic

[@msnewsenior]

CholexHalle are not broken up they each wanted to do some solo stuff but they just said a few weeks ago they’re back in the studio together

[@QueenNGtheGreat]

JT is holding the City Girls down..The other one is too busy in a poly/bi./ open relationship with Diddy to write lyrics. JT is the real one.

[@thegodblogger3812]

Never took the City Girls seriously. They are KZbin or TikTok artists at best. On the 15 minutes of fame cycle, they flamed out after 6.

This is such a low IQ response. JT put out a solo song a few months ago, while Yung Miami hasn't dropped a solo track since 2021. There's no conspiracy or magic behind it.

[@420virgo]

I like the song with Kim Petras but I’m not going to download it

[@oliverbranch777]

When you make classic music you can release it at anytime and it will be a good representation of you as an artist, but when you put out raw xrated music and start to realize thats not a good image for you and your children when growing is inevitable, it’s never a good time to drop that kind of money. This happens when your a money chasing rapper and not an artist. Art can NEVER be about money and still be art it’s a money grab, rap / so called HIPHOP is about money. That’s all we talk about numbers not artistry.

[@mical2great]

This is exactly why Cardi B wont drop another album. Theyll release singles to keep her name relevant but they know her fan base is tired of the same ratchet shit or like yal said there people now who do it better

[@Tbick1821]

City Girls dropping an album during the winter is insane. They need to drop a single in the spring and an album would be summer time only hitting radio and shows heavy. No one wants to play City Girls after “in my mindddddd” drops during Thanksgiving. We don’t care right now.

[@anthonyt425]

When speaking from their perspective, this conversation was from a labels point of view and no, that wouldn’t make sense for a label.
