I find it comical at the entitlement Kelis feels. Why would I reach out to you for??? If a producer has a idea for a beat and it has a dope sample. I only care about who I have to pay to clear the sample, I don’t want to talk unless it’s necessary.
Riri slid into the lane Aaliyah left open. Those three albums weren't just any regular three albums either.
I'm not measuring by sales. I'm measuring by sound.my favorite album by kelis is Kelis was Here, and that was after she left neptunes, Tasty had a lot more producers than the neptunes, and yet on both she still had a "sound". and just because you have a producer you work with doesn't mean you as an artist don't decide your sound. part of kelis's failure as an artist is because she was eclectic, you could get punk/rock, pop, and soul from her on one album, that didn't work back then except for white artists
Some of yall just measuring her by sales, that's fine, but as a female who was still in the "impressionable" phase, Kelis was a whole style to us, that doesn't mean everyone loved her music (she was also inconsistent AF with singles), but in the same way women fukked with these Hot Girl and Savage moments (rih's savage, not meg's), we fukked with Milkshake/Bossy, there just was no social media to amplify it
If both of y'all said they stole her swag/style a bit I'd give you that, but not sound. Her albums were eclectic, but any songs y'all can't point to that someone else might be similar to isn't her sound. Milkshake is Neptune's sound. Bossy is Bangladesh's sound. Just in this example she's being wild towards Beyonce it's Milkshake which are Neptune's drums. If we're being really real In Search of.... did a much better job of doing what she tried to do with her albums in terms of sonic diversity.
If I'm missing something then what song is Kelis' sound? She was the one who screamed on tracks. That was her shyt......and I don't know what that other cat was talking about. I'd listen to her read the dictionary. I love her speaking voice.

Why yall think most of these women in the industry were making those kinda decisions themselves to begin with??? If their bosses and/or hair and make-up team decided on a look for them. they gotta just do that look. Rihanna wasn't controlling shyt. That's why all of those pop stars go through a "radical" style change once they start getting that fukk you money, all those demands start turning into suggestions
all the videos i've seen of him working on melodies with people is consistent, breh be locked in and does the same shyt any composer would do with their orchestra
to be fair Pharrell came up in the studio with GOATs who were like that with each other as well

the only reason any of us know kelis name is because of Pharrell and chad

if you're going to write off every artist's sound and musical direction as just being the product of the person who made the track, then outside of the singers who produce, none of them have a sound
i hate you, ring the alarm

only reason we know snoop is dr dre
only reason we know aaliyah is r kelly
only reason we know the clipse/pusha t is because neptunes
only reason we know biggie is because of diddy
we can keep doing that...
And they all respect those people to the highest degree
And I’m sure they all had some misinformed deals/business at some point

nikkas been complaining about diddy, suge, irv, birdman etc. for fukking them over...sit down. lol @ kelis should be grateful to someone who fukked her over from the already limited money she would/could earn.
You didn’t list any of those people you mentioned besides biggie/diddy who had no issues with each other during their time
I’m not sure what your point is
Kelis isn’t owed anything .. she was basically a plug n play artist at the time, that the Neptunes made some money for (and yes they made more, but she signed up for it) …she didn’t do much for herself after and she’s bitter

RIP Chad. Don't really care about anything else honestly.

All fukkery aside, I peeped the 'Energy' song by Beyonce that is supposed to have a sample of the Kelis 'Get Along With You' track. I could not hear anywhere in the track where there could possibly be a sample of it? Am I just too flabby and sick to notice an intricate/filtered/stretched/chopped sample of it somewhere or something? I'm wild confused.

Pretty sure it's some drums that were sampled at the end of the song, which would make Kelis rant even more stupid.

Real talk, I seen the vid of Kelis talking about this shyt... what a fukking nightmare that chick must be. She talk super-uppity and snooty...and sounds like a major bytch overall. Nas must've been in hell when he was with her. Imagine the shyt you would have to put up with... and even more so when she on her monthly!! Word to Fredo that's a SCARY SIGHT.
