INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Brandy is to a generation of vocalist,what Nas is too a generation of lyricist.
again brandy is that gen's best entertainment based black family support group and actualized tv to talent turned rnb/pop star..
You have taken brandy's, later re-branding completely out of context as a rodney jerkins rework. Which came much later and after faith re-wrote the complete rnb direction based rubrick via the MCA way.
that was applied to mariah being repackaged and given trickle down.
to later brandy being jerkins go to rnb singer of the late nineties to 2000's. which was well and any from the time period. where faith was the mca way base model upon which contemporary rmb would filter and take direction from. to using hiphop assimilated sampled breaks and also artist features.
that seguewayed and launched brandy originally as a breakout solo rnb star in 1995. Which occurred well after puff revolutionized rnb with faith as his secret weapon in MCA leading into his firing and later acquisition of distribution from arista from bad boy.
benefitted said:to say she was never the singer Faith is I consider to be blashemous on many levels. It is obvious you are holding her commercialization against her. You can't simply dwindle her vocal influence down to her having good marketing.
and as you said,the Faith playbook is basically the Puff daddy playbook. Which is the same playbook that he first opened up for Mary J Blige. So I credit Faith with absolutley nothing in that regard lol. With that said I was only talking about who I thought was better looking at that time as a kid. Whitney Houston is underated as far as her looks go,she had the mature look by the time most of us were old enough to notice a womans beauty. But her look was a classic by all means. You could put her on Martin Luther Kings arm and nobody would be the wiser.
Yeah. You have no idea of whom faith is at all in regards to how rnb was shaped and rejuvenated from the dead draw it was in the early to mid-nineties.
As you have no factual or cognitive register of whom faith is nor the j cards and writing credits that feature her name and are definitive works in the creation of what would be assimilated hiphop as rnb in the early and mid-nineties via the MCA way. As faith is the segueway in the old MCA rnb era that featured the would result in the death of new jack swing from the previous Keith sweat chuckii booker creation lead era.
You have no idea about any of this at all and the reason you would try to campaign for brandy is because of an emo attachment to brandy as your gateway artist in your General knowledge. You definitely do not know any of the facts of this time period to even speak. Trying to campaign for brandy who is known as a wooden stiff technical performer on reel to reel. That before jerkins packaged that via his actual production takes from the MCA way and era. Lead to brandy being given ramped up marks later in her career oast being labeled a strict technical based singer.
