She did steal her sound. And Crazy In Love was for Amerie's second album. Bey's label and father heard the song and they pressed Rich Harrison to let Bey use it for her debut. This is common knowledge breh
I’m dead tryna tell these nikkas this is a well known thing in the industry. lol. nikkas in here dead ass tryna fight facts with opinions. This is known Rich a sucka too for going where the money was and leaving Amerie out to dry.

Rich Harrison literally said he wrote Crazy In Love after meeting with Bey and playing her the beat

No one else wanted it

Who are we not to believe the producer and cowriter of the song

Prior to that he had gave Kelly Rowland, Usher and Mary gogo records

Everyone was jumping on the wave

Interestingly enough Amerie first album wasnt really gogo influenced

The sound didn't really belong to anyone lol

She took her stage show and everything. Cut the bullshyt. None of it is coincidence. That’s the sound of Amerie’s hometown. Amerie was an opening act for Destiny’s Child. She took it kid.
Explain this “sound” that she apparently invented and pioneered.

Rich Harrison who produced Crazy In Love is also from DC

And what did she take from her stage show?

Amerie wasnt dancing putting on full productions like Destiny Child and Bey prior to her second album

Stop

Her sound initially leaned more neo soul

Nah, Beyonce didn't steal Amerie's sound. They merely used the same producer who in turn used the same style on records he produced for J. LO and Usher. Kelly Rowland worked with Rich on her breakout debut single and the song dropped weeks after Amerie's "Why Don't We Fall In Love". DC Go Go pre-dates all these artists. Ginuwine had an outro that featured Go Go on his debut album in 1996. This is before Rich Harrison, Amerie, and Destiny's Child.

Where's the article or video of her taking credit for that song? The song credits have his name.
No it wasn't

According to Rich no one liked the beat and thought Bey might bite because her debut single Work It Out had a similar vibe

He had to convince Bey and her team it would hit

He wrote the song after meeting with Bey and she added her own touches


I don’t even fux with Bey like that but this one of those conspiracy level fallacies that been around for years damn near decades at this pointi that pops up every 6months it seems and run into the ground receipts shown and all :laff:

Amerie has a nice unique voice but there was nothing really special about her as an artist or personality for Bey to shark…She had nowhere near the it factor as a talent or natural performance skills Bey possesses let’s get real …They just happened to have the same song writer shxt happens….

I’m just telling u how she used to present it back in the day in old interviews Brodie. These were her own words. She was playing right along wit that shyt. Regardless. She should’ve never gotten blackballed for it in the first place. Bey ain’t a goddess and no one has to worship her. If ur an artist and have a grievance u should be able to put it in ur art without having to worry about ur career being over.

ur right because its still a co-write.

she still had to sell tho. Someone explain how relevent Cowboy Carter is 20 years later. Bey is still Bey.

The formula was public, dont fault Bey for studying what was working on making her own lane.

Bro I’m not even saying Bey don’t deserve her accolades. I’m just pointing out why certain female artists don’t like her. lol. If u notice. Bey never really works with other female RnB artists like that. She will work with a female rapper. That’s not her lane. She will work with someone like Shakira. Again. Not her lane. But she don’t really collab with black female RnB artists. Unless they older and a legend. Not in her lane. But even with that. She even used to talk crazy about Janet and fed into trying to beef wit her. But Janet never fed back into that shyt. Tried to even criticize how the Jacksons grew up. She ain’t even got a joint with Rihanna. lol. What I’m sayin is Bey be on some bullshyt and trust me I defend Bey for alotta fukk shyt people say about her. And for people thinking I’m lying about Janet. Her mom even tried to shade Janet even recently and Bey had to check her moms because her mom’s bum ass still holding on to that old shyt. And Bey basically showed her ass in her comments about the Jackson’s. She’s basically a rich spoiled brat who always had her way her entire career. She grew up with money and her father was her manager and mother was her stylist. She always was in the front.
