Clicked onto that video about Sneakbo in the other thread and saw this old interview in the suggestions and thought about this thread.

It's mad how Sneakbo fell off. He had the younger market on lock for a second.

He still has those fans

 

 

Sure the fans are still there, but he hasn't delivered any on-point material for a minute that said fans would swarm to, hence the "fell off" statement is still pretty valid really. Saying that, he did just release an album last month, but I haven't heard anyone talking about it.

 

What annoyed me was Sneakbo made himself big rapping on dancehall but his first singles were some played out post-funky tunes, instead of truly capitalising on what made him big. Maybe its just these artists don't know how to go about getting these tunes from dancehall artists/producers to really happen, but it really is a shame that huge tunes like the remixes of Touch A Button and Starboy didn't have single releases.

Amy's music was too black to do as well as Adele

No, her lifestyle was too black for her to do as well as Adele.

Amy was singing about spliffs and hip-hop with Salaam Remi from the jump. The Darkerthanblue interview she did real early on shines through as a testament to how real - and fragile - she was. She WANTED recognition from black people cah she knew that black people immediately connect with REAL soul music only. She was coming through in an era where UK soul was actually fairly well respected as a niche.

Amy was the realest, IDGAF. A once in a generation star, too.

London has no identity. But that's more a British problem than a London problem.

She was a north london jew though
