How did Alicia Keys fall off so bad?

[TEH]

Did she change writers and producers?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

OutKast said it best, never become conscious of what makes you successful. When you do that’s the moment you start trying to do it on purpose and it becomes insincere. Once AK realized what her signature sound was, she thought she could deliberately make what she thought people wanted to hear. As a result her music inadvertently became the soundtrack to Lane Bryant and Cosmopolitan magazine.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Her first album came out in 2001. That’s a lifetime ago in music.

She had the perfect production team with the ex boyfriend. Then Swizz popped up and she got rid of that nikka and vocally she started to try to prove she was a powerhouse (she wasn't). Clive Davis also made her out to be some once in a lifetime prodigy because she was a classically trained pianist (thats industry bullshyt)

She was always a product of hype but when old boy left and J Records folded it just exposed her as being of moderate talent

This!!!

People really don't understand how important having the right team around you is in the large scheme of things.

I think Mystical made the comment once that the industry is 80% business and 20% talent and it holds true.

[I Really Mean It]

She broke up a marriage. After that, black women weren’t fukking with her any longer.
