SZA Calls Out TDE For Not Releasing Her Album: "I Actually Quit"

[Revolver Ocelot]

Maybe she just ain't buzzing right now for whatever reason. How is that TDE fault?

Look at someone like Janelle Mone. The last 2-3 years have been the best she's had in her career musically. Now she doing commercials and starring in an upcoming movie. But she been in the game for almost 10 years now, I'm pretty sure she would have like the success to have happened back then when she first signed. But she stayed on her grind and now the fruits of her labor is paying off.

TDE either trolling or they really don't know how to market their artists besides Kendrick and Q

Q was doing the same exact shit not too long ago. Kids are just impatient.

It's not about being impatient...it's painfully obvious that the breadwinner is Kendrick and they focus most of the energy/resources on him

Q second

There was a time when all four were getting love

It took four years for jay rock to release his dud and he got no push

SZA been touring for years now/did a song with Rihanna and hasn't released an album in 2 years

No one knows what the fuck ah soul is doing

And they tryna push punch like anyone cares

TDE fucking up

Punch trying to be Birdman now???

I mean c'mon man. TDE is doing as good as a label can do in 2016. Everybody knows that nobody is aelling records like that right now so it is what it is on that. You guys always talk about buzz, I'm a little out if touch right now so you'll have to help me here. Does SZA have a buzz? Does she even have a song on the radio? I have no problem with dropping albums or whatever but what's the point of dropping an album that's probably going to be forgotten about in 5 months? Wait a little bit, drop a song or two, see what happens. SZA should also try to do some other shit like commercials, tv show appearances, etc.

People forget that even if you sign to a Label, you still have to move as if you're Independent. Cause they won't do much for you outside of funding and promotions. It's still YOUR job as an Artist to stay in ppl's faces somehow and continue to build your brand on your own

She tours a lot and has a pretty decent following. I think she's doing her part

TDE as a label really aint shit. Meaning just how its ran. I been hearing SZA's name for a minute so I understand where shes coming from. If your name isnt Kendrick (or Q to a way lesser extent) theres no guarantee your project is coming out. Not a huge fan of TDE but it seems as one point they coulda been dropping projects from all their artists and would have had shit on lock. Its already a given somewhat that they dont trust their fanbase, I remember how upset they got over Kendrick's first week sales.

I was doing some research last night on tde. The essential problem for sza and ab-soul is they don't have that interscope, big label backing like kendrick and Q so they not gonna get that same album roll out and promo.

Tde great at getting their artists in the studio working behind great production and coming out with great music but they have no ability or resources to really push and market their artists albums. To date ab-souls control system and these days have sold around 30k a piece which is kinda crazy considering the quality of the work.

This seems to be going over ppls heads. Nobody wanna look at TDE management sideways because of the illusion that they are "doing good."

So where's the music at? Cuz I ain't heard shit from her other than the hooks she sings for other TDE artist.

 

[Kairo]

[KingFreeman]

Do you listen to SZA? She has 2 EPs and has been on several records over the past two years. She ain't been in a Fox hole doin nothin. You askin where's the music at? I think that's the same question she's asking TDE. One can assume based on her frustrations that she has an album or something ready to go.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Lol at this Nigga being misinformed. SZA didn't just drop outta the sky

Well nigga apparently she ain't buzzing cuz if people was clamoring for the the music they'd put out her 2nd album. But her first one bricked and she still ain't got no buzz. That's TDE fault, maybe just maybe people ain't checking for her.

 

[HustleThaDon]

Never heard of her

[mike06]

last time i saw her was on the BET cypher where she was just sitting back cheerleading the crew....idk if TDE is looking for national appeal for all their artists buy shorty aint poppin like that where i'm at unless someone can tell me she has a HIT single out on radio or online....what is she really known for other than TDE's female artist

if she's not goin the sex route showin ass and tits, being the social media troll of the month or the afrocentric/no makeup BLM route....what is really making her stand out right now from any other female artist?
