My strategy has always been to give people just enough of me, then pull back. That way, they'll want more.
R&B is never going to be dead, it's just going to evolve.
Frustration is not the way to go.
Get off my back, save a heart attack, ain't nobody humpin' around.
The people that buy music might not be able to afford to buy music. It might not even be a situation where people don't want to buy your stuff. It might be a situation where they can't afford to buy it because food prices are too high. I can respect that.
People are still hearing your music. They might not be buying it, but they might be having it and you don't know it. Your music is still out there.
