      @@JeremyScott459 What I’m saying is headlining a tour is not only about the deals you can get from promoters while touring, it’s also about branding when you release albums and music. Xscape is trying to put themselves on the same level as SWV but all the fans know that SWV is legendary far beyond Xscape. This tour was supposed to be a coheadlining tour that would promote both groups as queens of R&B. The only reason Xscape does more is sales even after the tour is because of their platforms from their other shows. In all reality, they should be getting an ambassador or promotoer credit instead of accrediting all of that to Xscape. People follow Kandi and Tiny for the drama, not the music.
      If Destiny’s Child and En Vogue did a Queens of 90s Pop R&B, Destiny’s Child should not headline, even though we know they are the bigger success. It’s not in keeping with the spirit of the event, and that effects consumer opinion. Like this show is making us see Kandi and Xscape as hyper competitive and much more ego driven, but they hide behind business. They continue to treat SWV like they don’t know business, and evidence of that is their supposed lack of money and pay rate. SWV does this for the culture and they are not trying to grow. They have made their stamp and have done more than enough. They get it, Xscape is still trying to compete, which is just different.

Last week it did seem like the ladies were downplaying SWV, but I absolutely agree that SWV has the catalogue but Xscape puts on a grand show and put a lot of effort into performances which would be more entertaining to see and I agree with that. If SWV want more headlines in arenas like this they gotta put more into it and I very much love them.

    At the end of the day, I agree with Xscape TRYING to handle their business and ain't mad at them at all. But it was something you said Bondy I'm like they still sold MILLIONS of records and had THREE platinum albums and they had "little ole" So So Def behind them. That's truly phenomenal.

  • @travpowell1986
    @travpowell1986 Před rokem +72

    Long Post Alert 🚨
    LMAFO, what I’m finding comical is the simple fact that people including SWV (whom I might add has 30 years in the business) are extremely upset & in their feelings about a Businesswoman like Kandi (who has a host of successful businesses) having or conducting a conversation about what….? BUSINESS! As I’ve stated many times that we all have seen multiple “UnSung Documentaries” of artists that we love or from the past, get “Got” for not handling their business, and trusting shady Management or Accountants (We will discuss the Rocky part later) with their money. In Kandi’s “Speak On It” episodes she stated that they were in talks with promoters about future touring opportunities. Let’s remember when the show was filming Xscape was their management due to not cohesively agreeing on management. So they had to play both roles when it is usually management that has these discussions.
    Kandi mostly out of all of them understands how reality television works when it comes to promoting products, shows, and music. Let’s take a trip back to Season 9; RHOA, when Porsha and Phaedra were accusing both Kandi and Todd of wanting to “R” ing and want to take Porsha back to their alleged Sex Dungeon. In season 10, Kandi took that negative of the Sex Dungeon and birth Kandi’s Dungeon Tour (which was very successful), also let’s not forget that was the same year that Xscape did the interview on V103 about someone who stole their right to their lives, with the premature announcement of Xscape being back together. Promoters, Fans, and Networks were excited and they (Xscape) were booked for the 2017 or 2018 BET awards. After the performance, the demand for Xscape was high (still is) and they ended up booking and headlining their tour. So the Power of Reality television and social media following does help. Remember how Cardi B became one of the most successful Hip Hop Artists after being on Love and Hip Hop?
    As far as closing the show, if you look at it from a creative perspective vs fan perspective I can understand why Xscape wanted to close the show out. The basis of the show was to kill the stereotypes of girl groups and women (mostly black women) not being able to work together or get along. Yes, “Weak” is the bigger song (For SWV) and it has made a major impact on the R&B culture. No one isn’t denying it, but if we are showcasing sisterhood, “Understanding” does have a better message and is perfect to end the show! Also “Understanding” is a better song to show everyone’s vocal abilities, whereas “Weak” only showcase Coko’s vocal abilities, and both Taj and Lelee's vocals were drowned out. So if we are going with more a creative approach “Understanding” is the more perfect choice (And I love SWV, but these are the facts).
    Think about it if both Rihanna and Beyoncè were doing a Co-Headline tour, do you think they both would not advocate for themselves?
    Also did you know that there were more SWV songs in the set list than Xscape? They are opening, have the majority of the time on stage, and want to close the show..? Yea, Xscape did give up more to satisfy SWV’s demands.

    The family dysfunction in the Scott family is deep. Therapy is needed in order to truly heal. They also have such an unhealthy relationship with religion it’s going to take them stepping away from leaning on religion so much in order to move forward as well.
    Also, the way SWV has been acting is giving ego, insecure, and a complete lack of business acumen. Also, I agree with you LeeLe was probably always going to be an absentee mother let’s just keep it a buck. Because where were her kids when she was homeless??? It’s giving whoever was watching her children wasn’t willing to give her a roof over her head.
    I’m baffled at the fact that SWV doesn’t put as much effort into their shows but it’s probably because only one member is doing 95% of the singing anyways. Which is why Coko gets paid more. The way they have been acting is giving that they may be envious that Xscape lives a better lifestyle than them. Other than Taj, SWV lives regular degular and Kandi and Tiny are living LARGE.

    IMO: This all boils down to SWV being singers. They show up. They sing the songs. They go home and cash the check. Xscape (our at least Kandi and Tiny) are business women who happen to sing. They’re not going to sing if it’s not profitable. That means production, costumes and dancers. Neither is better or worse, it’s just different. SWV is taking it personal. Xscape is just being direct about how they feel.

    The way they bring up their dad gives very manipulative and brainwashed vibes. Because who randomly mentions trauma like that during arguments? 🤷🏾‍♀️😑

    Generational trauma is so real..and we are watching with this family. I disagree that people enjoy it but it's what they know. Until they see something differently they will fall back on the status quo/what is familiar to them. I too understand this sort of generational trauma that runs deep in the black community.

    Bondy, you are the 1st person who has made total sense and has coherently explained why Xscape should close the show, even though both groups will be singing together. I just wish Kandi (since she's been the spokesperson for her group) could have articulated what you have sensibly said to SWV without leaving the impression that led Taj to thinking "oh, you up here, and we are down here". I was on the bandwagon that SWV should close out the show, but after listening to your comments about the comparison of stage presentation between Xscape and SWV, I hear what you are saying. It make perfect sense for each group to alternate who closes out in the city/region they have the most fans in. Thanks for your insight!😊

    SWV is definitely working harder and not smarter. Xscape may not be hopping all over the stage as much as their dancers, but they damn sure deserve to demand more money. You're right, Bondy, I ❤ an aesthetic myself. The way SWV have OVER saturated the field of old school acts performing all the time, they try to NOT share profits with dancers, yet jumping on tours and shows with other acts, so that seems to break their monies down further. Especially, them being commissioned to perform overseas, and SPLITTING that 5-6 figure fee, versus Xscape being able to command the fee they feel they're worth. I'm certain the flight to South Africa was INCLUDED in that booking fee. That's wild. Kandi & Tiny's net worth speaks to their work ethic. Ijs.

  • @blknitenca

    Xscape have been nothing but complimentary towards SWV. Swv keep getting on the internet acting like out of touch old women, especially Lelee. They used all of Xscape's people but they want to call the shots but not contribute anything. I've been telling people that SWV has RARELY headlined a tour. They either open or place somewhere long before the end. I follow them. they did the same thing with Salt n Pepa about headlining, but when Toni offered them a spot, they were the OPENER and the flyer said waaaaaaay at the bottom w/ speacial guests SWV. Tamika never said they werent relevant, that was Taj being messy and in her feelings. And if people paid attention to the setlist that was on the phone, it ended with I'm Every Woman, to be sang as a collective! Lelee being shady by saying they Apollonia 6, but you writing a whole HOT CAT book..girl gone..lol

    It is very dangerous to have a manipulator in the family causing so much damage because they know everyone so well and know exactly the right buttons to push. They spread lies from person to person in the family and sit back and watch the fruits of their work. I have a sister that I'm convinced is a spawn from the devil himself but I'm the quiet one who never wants to cause any problems and doesn't gossip. Some siblings get away with murder while others get crucified for the smallest thing. My sister was also a runaway, stole from my parents, and a drug abuser and has got treated with kids gloves from my parents for the past 20 years.
