Albums Amerie - 4AM Mulholland & After 4AM (Discussion Thread)

[brownsugah]

Go-Go is a DC area origination, sure, but that doesn’t mean Amerie did it first and that Bey copies her.. just because Amerie is originally from there. Y’all really reaching.

This putting talented female artists against each other is old and for the birds too.

@Killmonger You see this?

Work it out. 2002.

Stop blaming Bey for everything.

Work it out doesnt sound nothing like what we're talking about

If anything Bey was influenced by Aretha and Tina Turner for that joint

Work It Out is Go-Go inspired... yes The Neptune’s produced it, but still.

Y’all just sounding like haters now.

 

[NormanConnors]

How you figure? Elaborate.

She heard Rich in the studio working on beats for Amerie, and pulled the jack move.

@Killmonger You see this?

Yea this always happens


This site just hates Beyoncé

Beyoncé made the sound that everyone speaks of famous first in 03 with crazy in love, Amerie then used the sound with 1 thing in 05.

Amerie doesn’t even have a platinum album. She has 2 golds and 1 silver, she was never going to be what Beyoncé is

 

[NormanConnors]

Yup.

And I’m from DC. None of these nikkas can tell me anything about Rich or Ameriie. I know people that are affiliated with them both. They both have origins not that far from where I have origins.

I can speak on stories about how Rich got his major breakthrough linking up with Ameriie in a McDonald’s parking lot but that’s neither here nor there. They didn’t talk for a while after the Beyoncé shyt because he sold her entire sound out. That’s why he didn’t have production credits on any of Ameriie’s shyt after Touch. They fell out. It was only a few years ago when they reconnected and he produced some shyt for the EP she released like two years ago.

Like I said in the other thread, Beyoncé stay with a copyright lawsuit so we already know she has no original bone in her body.

Yeah I figure you probably were hip to them way before they got put on. When that first album dropped though

Beyonce pulled a jack move on the beats and song structures just like her husband did to camp lo. I'll say it again.

Jay gave us a classic but Camp Lo on Who You Wit would've been

I love them both (and just good music in general) and people are entitled to their opinions, but I don’t like when non-factual information is said. If we’re being technical, Bey was on the Go-Go wave with Work It Out before Amerie’s album dropped and before Crazy in Love dropped.

They can’t keep blaming Bey for other female artists not thriving. It’s not her fault at all.

They would have killed/floated on that

I can hear Sonny Cheeba talking cash shyt on that beat in my head right now

Tagging in Suede with that fly shyt

It’s all a dumb argument anyway cause technically it’s the producers sound not the artist, all producers come with a sound.

It’s almost like me saying Aaliyah stole Ginuwine whole sound... naw that was just timbaland and missy style.

I don’t remember who popularized the Neptune sound but plenty of artist used it

 

[TheDarkCloud]

All I Have is a classic.

That joint birthed Beyonce’s entire style as a solo artist.

That’s why this joint happened





Beyoncé is not original at all. Everyone of her albums has some type of infringement lawsuit attached to it. We all know damn well she didn’t start no damn go go/r&b.

EXACTLY!! That is a very valid and true point. And these artists all have worked with the same producers as well. But you don’t see any other artist being accused of stealing sounds.. why? Because they aren’t on top like Bey is.

 

[Dre Space Age]

Amerie and Rich Harrison go together like the icing between Oreos
