None of this has anything to do with anything. Timbaland didn't burn bridges with DJ's and labels. In fact, at every radio show stop (even when he was promoting Empire), he had DJ's hyping her music as much if not more than he was. It's even noted in this thread.

As far as Tink being too dark, I'm guessing you've never heard of Lauryn Hill. She's one of the most successful female singer/rapper hybrids. No one ever cared how Missy Elliott looked either. You're making up stuff.


It is not that she is dark.
It is the fact she raps and looks like fukk'n azalea banks.
Which is a ripoff of one jay flow used by female rappers in this Gen. Plus the fact she is a rnb singer trying to rap and real talk after the screw job revenue grab work.
that is Lauren hill it is a turn off.
Couple it with the fact she looks and sound just like another artist, azalea banks.
that on a grassroots underground level is loathed to death.
So, it feels like tink is to fabricated and not a real organic artist who also lacks an identity.
It is a shame a pop copy and paste style artist from Chicago had to meet that fate.
Yet you can not fake jax being from Chicago and one thing no female artist from Chicago will.ever be able to do.
is fool the chicago rap community on any level.
when she is a rnb singer trying to rap.
The pedigree of female emcees with ang13 and or shawnna flanked by teefa arguably being the best female emcee ever is prevalent here and you won't fool the grassroots community.
you need to catch fire with that in Chicago at all on any level.

Man, when Timbaland brought her onto the Breakfast Club and they made her spit a freestyle, I thought they were pushing way too hard.

Should have let everything build up on it's own after he mentioned her the first go round.

Timbaland gave up on her. Call him delusional, he thought if he co signed her that she would just blow up cuz he said so. All those moves after, like the Rick Ross thing, was scrambling to try to make up for it.

Not saying she is terrible but in 2016, with Remy Ma being out of jail and making music, the fukk do we need a Tink for?

The way Timbo hyped her might've put too much pressure on her. Calling her the next Aaliyah and shyt smh. All that probably made her feel like she couldn't live up to it. Cuz her music was crack before he started gassin

Timbo burned bridges with DJs+labels by being his typical a$$hole self, and Tink is "too dark." I think she's a beautiful woman (tho that weave is ridiculous) but it's hard to sell a dark skinned woman in music. When I worked at a label they had research on listeners hearing a song, enjoying it...and then enjoying it less when shown a picture that showed it was a dark black woman. Other listeners shown a picture of a lightskin black woman=liked the song more.
That's cool if it was CACS but a Brotha or Sista thinking like this is a broken willed cop out.

That was 20 years ago.

Name me the most successful medium to dark black female artists today.

It deadass might be K. Michelle.

It's pretty much Beyonce.... Rihanna.... then you're talking Jazmine Sullivan's and your K. Michelle's.
