Can the basement they run RCA out of just collapse already?

As an Xtina fan I support this message.

I think she released ICWD once she was signed but I might be getting it confused with Reverie which she was definitely signed for.

Wait I just got really sad watching this  like our girl is fine now but it's wild seeing this perspective from 10+ years ago. ICWD released Feb 1 2012, and this was uploaded / had timestamped footage from July 2012. So I'm not sure why that tape would be blocked from streaming release. 

 

I really hope there's a way to negotiate this somewhere down the line, or convince RCA to release it similar to how Nicole Scherzinger's fans convinced her label to upload her albums to US streaming services after 10 years. It doesn't make sense to just never produce revenue from all these songs.

The material exists and has a niche base interested in streaming it. I don't understand why they don't find a solution to put it out & make it more accessible. It's a win-win.

Amethyst has some of her best work

[Nashe]

The mixtapes are our Old Testament. Most of her best "atmospheric" and "artsy" work is on there. After this next album-project she needs to get her a$$ on putting them mixtapes out

Reverie is still her peak, the world deserves to hear it

ummmm it’s time for re-recording sessions then, come for taylor’s wig miss nashe!

Not sure if it would be a win win, pretty sure she got ****** over and wouldn’t see a penny from the mixtapes if she released them. She seems “hopeful” to put them out someday, but the way she answered the question about it makes it seem it’s a whole legal mess

ive heard nothing but BAD for RCA as a label 

[campelo]

re-record them..please

 

we need sharp production, the mixtapes quality of the files are just horrible

[ciara]

Yikes! This is why it’s important to own your masters! So happy Ciara owns her masters! 

her mixtapes will always be there though it’s not like people can’t listen to them but her not being able to profit off it all on her own must suck lmaoooo

I love this perspective. Like only the true OG fans or the new fans that dive deeper into her discography can appreciate literally 4 MORE albums of amazing works.

She was such a baby and if only she knew how RCA would screw her over.

No, she produced those partly by herself when she was a teen still. That charm and magic could never be recreated!
