MARSHA AMBROSIUS - CASABLANCO (Official Discussion)

[Sccit]

Does she? I've literally never heard of her before the Dre association. And when I looked up her Wikipedia and such, it seems like she's mostly known for doing backing vocals for other artists, rather than her own music.

she was part of a successful r&b group called floetry


they would be like the r&b equivalent of tha dogg pound

[Tony Trey]

Once again l ask, who? Floetry? Never heard of them before Marsha's Dre association. I looked them up and didn't they make one album 25 years ago and then break up? I don't think they exactly set the world on fire.

Let me put it this way. Who here on this forum has ever bought a Marsha album or a Floetry album prior to Marsha signing with Dre? I'm assuming almost no one.

My point is, I don't think she has any kind of sizable fanbase and I don't think Dre's fanbase is going to buy an R&B album in large numbers (Truth Hurts, anyone?). I'm not trying to say I hope she bombs or whatever. I'm saying, I hope Dre set proper expectations for this album. I don't want Dre to scrap all his other projects right now, like Missionary and Kingmaker, because this album winds up being a very predictable commercial disaster.

[Tony Trey]

Fuck me. I just reread Marsha's Wikipedia. She signed with Dre in 2006. 2006. That's fucking 18 years ago. And she's just now releasing an album? Good Lord. When people say Dre takes forever to release projects, this is what we mean. Jesus God Damn Titty Fucking Christ, how much patience does this women have? And what the fuck is wrong with Dre? Was he just paying her a salary for all 18 years to do fucking nothing? How fucking rich is Dre that money apparently means nothing to him?

kingmaker isn’t even a dre project bro

and floetry had 2 moderately successful albums in the mid 2000s

you probably won’t find floetry fans on a gangsta rap forum, no

but in terms of popularity, let’s put it like this .. she has 400+ thousand followers on ig where as kurupt only has 200+ thousand

so fans of r&b def know of floetry and just like we anticipate a new dogg pound record, they anticipate a new marsha record

not saying it’s going to sell .. but at this point nothing really does unless it’s mainstream on some drake or nba youngboy shit

it is what it is

I thought Kingmaker is a Dre project

I thought Kingmaker is a Dre project

as far as i remember kingmaker is xzibit and open bar …. dre might produce a few tracks but it’s not his project


i could be wrong

Marsha is a well known R&B singer, what is unknown and what nobody cares about (outside of here) is her affliation to Dr.Dre

Dre ain’t produce nothin himself there it’s his crew and studio I think but nothing more his involvement is still minimal
Same as Dre with the Pharmacy Xzibit produced that show and it was fire as fuck but he has Dre whole Crew and Battlecat and J-Rocc on the sounds and turntables (they do a show in LA called Dre Day at a nightclubs out here in LA the show they do is like the Pharmacy on Apple they had)

yeah - you do know that that Floetry wrote and gave "Butterflies" to Michael Jackson that he put on his Invincible album. The original which then came out later on the first Floetry album (released after Michaels album i believe if memory serves me correct). The group was known - not massive but known.

Butterflies was on her solo project

[topdogg188]

A remix version is on her solo- original is on the 1st Floetry album Floetic as a bonus track also called butterflies demo which was probably given to Michael Jackson as the demo for him to use CD I owned until I sold all my cds to music magpie here in Uk after ripping all to mp3 which I still use on sdcards on my various mp3 players.

Her solo came out a few years after with the remix on and Michael Jackson was dead way before that

Anyhow I’d prefer a Focus…… and Marsha project her mixtape with the stop and start song I like that a lot and Busta then used the beat almost 10years later on ELE2 on the song with QTip

[Jay_J]

i feel so sad that marsha is trying to promote her album with her own amateur effort. it's a shame for dr. dre and interscope records.
