* beautiful talented and smart. STILL play her first album on the regular. An Illadelph staple down with the Roots crew, REALLY surprised she didn't blow up more. In the summer of 2012, she assembled a "rock & soul band" of seasoned Philadelphia musicians called The W.E. ft. Jaguar Wright. The W.E. (an acronym for "The Wright Experience") had its debut performance in October 2012.

She been eating good. Least she not starving..:dunno:

no doubt.

But the point is these are the type of artists people CLAIM to want...

but more often then not they dont receive the support or acclaim you'd expect.

And in the case of a few like Lucy Pearl, a talented collective come up a little short although individually they were highly successful.

Funny enough, i enjoyed the music from all these sisters you posted and i can honestly say i supported/purchased all of their albums. And this was back when Napster was popping. I don't think people have a problem supporting quality music and musicians. I didn't then and i don't now.

:cool:

we did the same.

I dont think you realize how rare that is NOW.

Its funny because Napster and Limewire made me actually BUY MORE music because it introduced us to so me many different genres and remixes and artists I ordinarily never would have heard of.

That song off that first album, Self Love... had chicks contemplating life and all kinds of decisions. lmao

^^^^

good song...



I'm listenin'
Caught up in a web of deception
From this shit I done learned new lesson
So what cha do, you keep on playing, you play on, playa

From love to confusion
You keep getting but you keep losin'
So whatcha find comforting, your boozin', bosom
Heart brusin', I'm the one

From the high note to the low pains
You see destruction but no aftermath
Only voices you hear in your head
They all laugh, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha, yeah

From your denials to your delusions
Everything you gain you keep loson'
What you not know, this is an illusion
So what the hell you're doin'

He's looking and looking
He's looking and looking
He's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me

He's looking and looking
He's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me
He's looking at us, he's looking at we
Ah shit, he's lookin' at me

You wake up, baby boy, but you're not sleep
You test full but you're not it
You're running fast but you're not on your feet
And your speed is dead

You run along but you not know
You climb inside but you can't grow
Faster and faster until you fall to them floor
You screamed on but don't sing along

You work and work with no pay
You punch a clock but never end your day
You take vacation but your not playing
What we say by this time, here my friends, drink three
You cry, cry, revolution, but what you want is a solution
But you're more content with being a pollution
Jump in the motion, and ask the notion

He's looking and looking
He's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me
He's looking at us, he's looking at we

He's looking and looking
He's looking and looking
He's looking at you, he's looking at me
He's looking at us, he's looking at we
Ah, looking

Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
Take a look at it

Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
He's looking at

Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
Self love, self preservation
He's looking at, he's looking, looking and looking

Self love, self preservation

L O V E, L O V E, love
L O V E, love, L O V E, love
Ya'll say, yeah

Self love, self preservation

If you don't like your job
Maybe, you should quit stop being a bitch and love yourself
If you believe things can work out easily
I'm telling you if you don't like what your mama's telling you
Then be a grown man and stand up on your own two and love yourself

And if your girlfriend's on welfare
Then baby, walk away, you don't have to care and love yourself
And if standing on the corner and pushing them rocks up in your socks
Ain't what you want to do tonight then, love yourself

L O V E, L O V E, yo
L O V E, L O V E, yo

He's looking at L O V E
He's looking at L O V E
He's looking at L O V E
Love yourself

What I'm tryin' to tell you here is
Life it passes you by
And if you don't get up off your ass
I'm telling you, it's gonna fly, the time's gonna fly

And you'd find yourself about fifty years old
Sittin' on a porch with your grand kids
But you know what, man, you ain't got shit to tell

You still live in that same-old bullshit-ass reality
That was passed on down to you by your family
From generation to generation to generation to generation
And you ain't got shit, man, you sure fucked up

All right, it's real simple
I mean, this is for anybody, any age, man
Get up off your ass, forget the past
And remember that the future is the only thing that you fuckin' got
So run with that shit

Shit, it's that simple, ain't it? Yeah
Love yourself, believe in yourself
Be true to yourself, be you for yourself, do you?
Caught up in a web of deception

Because they aren't the type of artist the crakka controlled media wants.

So their buzz usually comes word of mouth.they don't get radio play or promoted they won't be on any huge world tours that exposes them to new audiences. .

But if they singing bout ho's niggas drugs trap and other ignorant shit they will blow up

On another note, the whole neo-soul scene fucked it up for themselves low key. The fought so hard against the term "neo-soul" and it always baffled me. They even shot at documentary "There's No Such Thing As Neosoul" back in the early 2000s. The whole idea was there's nothing NEW about soul. Yeah, I get it. But it was a way for the industry to market yall during a time that Ashanti, Usher and Alicia Keys were considered R&B. Badu put the album out with "Neosoul is Dead" on the cover. Jag did the "Divorcing Neo to Marry Soul" shit and none of it worked. They essentially killed the way the industry marketed them they suffered as a result. Shit, we all suffered as a result since we lost that great sound.
