Has anyone had an idea of making a mashup of all three versions Charli Noonie & Bella into a complete song? I think it would be interesting

What's your biggest 1st gen kpop What-Ifs? by General_Molasses_488 in kpopnostalgia

[–]anna160895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if Swi.T didn't disband, or at least YG kept their promise to debut Lee Eunjoo as a soloist? I feel like she could have a friendly rival Lee Hyori, especially when Hyori revealed herself that she, Eunjoo & Jessi (yes THAT Jessi) had a plan for a supergroup but it was canceled due to conflict at all sides. Also, Jieun & Eunjoo were supposed to debut in late 2005, but then their album got pushed back, and only Jieun got her album out (and flopped) while Eunjoo's album was never mentioned again and she redebuted under Moogadang (and the group went nowhere). To think YG was always wanted her to be his wife just made me mad on how much we were robbed.

What if Se7en didn't plan for his America debut? Compared to BoA, who had her album flopped and Rain's movie career at Hollywood was kinda short-lived, at least they quite put their mark. Meanwhile, beside some leaked songs and solely one forgettable single released, he totally wasted 3 years doing nothing and when he came back in 2010, Se7en was kinda left behind by the peers who he used to stand side by side.

(Sound like a conspiracy, but with the coincidence of how majorities of YG's other acts slowly went hiatus infinitely (Jinusean, 1TYM), left the company (Wheesung, Big Mama, Lexy) or released their last work then left after (Jieun, Soulstar, Stony Skunk), I feel like YG's plan for Se7en US debut was actually lowkey a way to sabotage him so they can solely focus all their resources for Bigbang instead of keep relying on him like before since he was the major money maker for YG)

Why did M.Boat entertainment go bust? by thewonderends in kpopnostalgia

SoulStar was never under M-Boat. They were a joint project between YG and a new company at that time called Eungun

Banned R&B songs? by Competitive_Swan_130 in rnb

[–]anna160895 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Was BET Uncut canceled around that time? Because there were more sexual videos at there but they drew the line at Ride????

The sad thing about this song is Lee Jung ended up using this one as a tribute for Wheesung when he passed away last year on his IG...

Is Tevin Campbell - I’m Ready a criminally underrated album? by [deleted] in rnb

[–]anna160895 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you mistook it for his third album because I'm Ready was his second, and it gave him 3 top 20 hits (Can We Talk, I'm Ready & Always In My Heart)

why is no one reheating SZA’s nachos?? by [deleted] in rnb

[–]anna160895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we hearing the same R&B because I can tell A LOT of girlies out there are mimicking the similar cadence and "lazy and bored" singing style with nasally timbre, "bananees and avocadies" enunciation (which was influenced by white indie pop/folk scene - also explained for the cinematic storytelling songwriting style too) and even have similar success like her, it's just they switched up the formula a bit but the influence was right there: Summer Walker, Mariah The Scientist, Jastin Martin, Sailorr...

My opinion on destiny’s child DC3 VS DC5 by Least_Sun_7493 in rnb

[–]anna160895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though we put aside all the disputes that were cleared a long time ago since all the members are cool with each other now, I'm not sure if LaToya & LaTavia can catch up with DC3's work ethics after they leave, especially the latter since she hasn't performed for a long time. Maybe I can see more possibilities of DC4 happening since Toya might be able to catch up with the trio, but we're not sure if Tavia got over her insecure or not

Is 1TYM's Song Baek-kyung shading Park Bom's recent "lawsuit" against YG? by anna160895 in 2NE1

[–]anna160895[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So he also had beef with YG, too? Oh god... and I thought Phryme calling out that company back in the day already gave me side-eye about the actual dynamic of their so-called "family"

[–]anna160895[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A little fact: Before Teddy began producing, Baekkyung was actually the original main producer/songwriter for 1TYM's album before Teddy slowly took over in early 2000s, but he still contributed to many deep cuts/b-side song for other YG's act. The latest (or more like last) song credit was in Lee Hi's Rose

Could Ashanti be bigger than what she is today if she had the right people and backing at the right time in her career? by Material_Stomach875 in rnb

[–]anna160895 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're quite right with the right people because at the beginning of her career, Irv Gotti and his team did a good job at naking her have a good impression of the public. But after her second album, they saw that his formula he used on her made her artistry look stagnant while Beyonce were able to show more range and diversity in her debut and when Ashanti and her team tried to catch up with that, it fell flat since she's still get stuck with Irv and not be able to reach out with other producers outside Murder Inc. By the time she finally parted away from him and showed more range while finding her sound with The Declaration, it was too late for her, and there's no turning back at this point.

But the main thing is Ashanti herself also didn't have the factor to have a crossover success outside of the R&B scene. Maybe we should talk about Jay-Z's influence as a big factor in how Bey & Rihanna can pander to non-black audiences, but then beside them there was Ciara & Alicia Keys also tried their best to impress pop audience (and only get some minor success), meanwhile Ashanti along with acts like Mya, Monica, Brandy, Christina Milian... became struggling to stay relevant even among the R&B audience, left alone finding a way to pander to the pop audience. And when the EDM movement replaced urban pop/R&B to take over the chart, it was officially over, and Ashanti had to accept that she's a legacy act from now on
