I'm glad I don't follow her well enough to know all of this drama that apparently goes on with her lol, but I am so here for her music, so she better keep slaying me with new stuff.

Wow so she's leaving the game after just 2 albums. Some people aren't built for this industry. I enjoyed her first album.

Why is Tamar so messy? I mean K is too but wasn't she just crying boo-hoo when people were calling her a Muppet. Don't continue add fuel to the fire if you don't want to get burn.

Team Tamar. I'm tired of K. Michelle and Mona's antics.
They're in it for the BS instead of putting up work. K. Michelle made a great album and didn't know what to do with it yet if you asked her you would think it scanned 3x Platinum. A big mouth mess.
Then we wonder why these R&B acts don't even scann 400k. They don't know what to do with their music, can't decide a single, they care more about feuding on social media instead of selling their product.
You wouldn't catch Katy Perry arguing with other people fans on Instagram. She'll throw her lil Taylor Swift shade, turn off her phone and pick her next hit.

They don't know what to do with their music, can't decide a single, they care more about feuding on social media instead of selling their product. I think this is more of a label issue... Labels aren't throwing their money and fully backing R&B artists these days like they're with popstars i.e. the Katy Perry's and Taylor's. These R&B girls would love to get more than 1/2 singles out and a big promotional push but labels aren't doing it for them. Same with booking shows. They would perform on all A.list talk shows/late shows all week long if given the chance. They can only do so much.

There are different ways of getting funds other than the label. If your label doesn't book you, use your connections, have your team get on it. K. Michelle shot 3 music videos and none of them were for the 2nd single. She released her album and her 1st single had done sh*t at radio and took 3 months to pick the 2nd single. Ashanti handled her album promotion way better and she's indie and she got her coins with it.

Dez hoes need to take notes. I'll say though, K. has benefited from the Franchise in a Positive and Negative note. Can't say the same for her colleagues.

Ashanti did a great job with booking gigs but she did admit she made a lot of expensive mistakes too creating BraveHeart.

I really can't stand Tamar. She's already in her mid 100s, so she really needs to being childish. For her not to know anything about K. Michelle, she surely comments on everything she says and does and if K responded to her, K would be the bully.
I'm glad K paid the roach dust.

Does that mean K. Michelle is in her late 90s? Cause it's not that much of an age gap.

Just because K. is signed to a major label doesn't mean she has an easier time than an "Ashanti" with getting her shit out. She still pretty much has to function like an indie artist or a has-been, because the commercial crowds are not trying to book a reality show singer for their shows, and radio doesn't take reality stars or female R&B singers seriously. She and Tamar are in the same boat, except K. isn't going broke paying radio to play her shit... That's why when she shoots 50 videos and releases one every few months, that's a smarter move than just tossing out one video per single; bits of consistent exposure work better than just one blast, and then nothing. That's something she's been doing since she was signed to Jive. The label doesn't even fund all of her visuals..
K. really had to hurt Tamar's feelings; that muppet comment dug deep. She's so damn bitter and it's been almost 5 years. But I can totally see Towanda or Traci calling her that in an argument, and that just being what really sent her over.

That's something she's been doing since she was signed to Jive. The label doesn't even fund all of her visuals.. There's no proof whatsoever that Tamar is bribing PDs to play her music. That's some BS people like to throw out because of her financial isues and the fact that she had a #1 on iTunes and the gerls can't DEAL. And K. Michelle had 2 hits from her first album, so miss me with the excuse that she comes from L&HH. The problem with this album is lack of focus. Point blank. Shooting 50 videos and wasting money is not smart when you have nohing playing on the radio cause you couldn't pick a song and stick to it. Let's see she shot a lyric and music video for "Maybe You Should Call." Why wasn't that the single when "Love 'em All" was flopping/rising slow? She shot the video for "Something About the Night" with no purpose to it. She let months pass by before "Hard to Do" was announced as the 2nd single. Timeline wise it should've been the 3rd at least. Girl bye. Beyoncé shoots video anthologies too and it's Amazing, but she always has something on the radio in the meantime. She's focused and she has her sh*t together.

There's a few inaccuracies in your argument, and you're integrating your opinion with what the reality is.
1. It doesn't matter how many hits she has. She is still is an artist who got her fame from a reality show, and she still has to struggle to be played on radio. She's literally had radio PDs tell her that they won't play her music because they don't like her character on TV. It doesn't matter how many hits she has. It's going to be an uphill battle every time she drops something new.
2. This is no different than the action around her last album. VSOP was announced in like May, and didn't peak until October/November, and "Can't Raise A Man" didn't drop until the following January. "Love Em All" dropped in September and didn't peak until mid-Feb. "Hard To Do" dropped in March. And during all that time she was on a sold out tour. She's filmed 5 videos for this album... She filmed like 8 with the last album. Both albums only having two actual singles.
If she's not getting radio play or any promo outside of these shows, she has to work another angle...that's why she's always on tour and releasing videos and s**t. Being SEEN is just as important as being heard. Meanwhile you have someone like Tamar (since we're comparing) who just releases s**t, and doesn't promote it AT ALL, and is ONLY seen being messy on her talk show, twitter, or reality shows. I'd say K. is a lot more "focused" than someone like her.

Tamar's only song that didn't get promotion is "Let Me Know." We all saw her performing the singles from her last album on TV, especially "Love and War" right after it dropped.
At the end of the day, K's last album was handled better. This one felt like a Ciara record with the indeciseveness over the singles. We all knew "Maybe I Should Call" was going to the 2nd single and then they scrapped it after they dropped the video.

Um.. Nah. Tamar's efforts are just as messy as you are trying to make K's out to be. "Love And War" exploded at the end of 2012, and the promo was minimal. She did some daytime talk shows and 106 and Park. That was pretty much it; and they didn't follow it up with "The One" until 6 months later. "The One" kept her strong at UAC, but didn't do much overall. They dropped "All The Way Home" like two weeks before the album dropped. And that's when she decided to promote again, and she just did a few performances of medleys of the singles. The next month she dropped that awful video for "Hot Sugar" (which wasn't a single) and got her wig snatched all over the internet. Then she dropped that waste of time ass Christmas album that did absolutely nothing. She didn't drop the video to "All The Way Home" until December...4 months after it was released, and 2 months after it had pretty much already flopped. It officially died in January. October she released "Let Me Know" and didn't promote it at all. 7 months later she released it's follow up, and announced that the album was dropping 2 months later. Here we are now almost a month from the alleged album release date, and nothing....

There are no winners in disputing who is the bigger bird between Tamar and K. Michelle.
