junebug18 2009-07-14 21:52:53  Total Posts: 540 | yeah, but id never figure that he'd sell THAT well, especially in this climate where barely anybody is selling in urban music and his 8 YEAR hiatus from the industry... but then again, he had maaaaaad promo (BET awards, late night shows like letterman, a lot of hype/anticipation, a truckload of marketing from the label etc.) and a loyal fanbase. not to mention, a lot of people are finally waking up and supporting REAL R&B and not trash like drake, tpain, the dream etc. good for maxwell though, thats a good look. with him releasing an album, sade and whitney coming soon, will R&B finally make a comeback? | |||
R&B Guru 2009-07-15 07:40:31 Total Posts: 2527 | Yea, I'm with junebug. Dude's been quiet for 8 years. Even though he was big then, most artists can't maintain from album to album, let alone with that big a gap. | |||
