Lil Mama Blames Lack Of Promotion For Poor Sales
“My fan base is out of this world and the youth really look up to me and I know for a fact my album wasn’t promoted correctly because people would come up to me like, ‘Oh your album is out?’ Or, ‘This is the second one?’” She said. “It’s really disturbing to know that I signed with a company that didn’t promote my record properly. Highly disturbing.” - Lil Mama
Full Story: SOHH
They definitely messed up by not releasing the album near during the peak of the, “Lip Gloss,” buzz.

And she ain’t even wack-whatsoever.
Force the bullshit on us but leave a talent like this out to dry. I’d rather my young girls be this than a Foxy
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:54 am
OR…OR…it could be, you know, that she’s a one hit wonder and no one gives a shit about her?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:41 am
she look like she got a calsocapy bag on in them pants
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:03 am
well what does she expect? she wants people to buy her albums that are about lip glosses, g-lides, purple fairies, magic school buses or whatever else she raps about.
she is right about the lack of promotion but………………her album aint on that real shit.

Dat bitch is ugly as hell I wouldn’t wanna promote dat face either ughhhhhhhhhh (pusha t) and somebody please tell randy jackson 2 take her off of dat dance show dat chick can’t even dance and she up there talkin like she’s 1 of da greatest bitch please

Who cares what she looks like? She’s a rapper not a model. She’s a good MC and I like her flow. She reminds me of a young left-eye. A young confident woman doing her thing. It’s difficult to sell records nowadays though.
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:52 am
I dont know about that she had three videos before her album even dropped lip gloss,g-slide,and shawty get loose and two of them were number one on the charts.and she was on the hottest tv show america’s best dance crew.now she got five videos.i mean what more do you need.weezy sold a million off of one video and two songs
I jus think people werent fucking wit her…..
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:08 am
LMAOOO but yea her #s ii can imagine were an upset
ii mean dis industry is not about talent skills lyrics or anything its sole on promotion you cant tell da diff frm wat you like nd wat u jus hear all the time SMH so if wack artist on drugs can sell a milli why cant dis one??
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:11 am
i definitelly respect her much more than this soulja bitch, i would rather see kids listening to her
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:02 am
of course her album is going to flop… i mean put the first single and video out like what… a year before the album dropped?? they needed to release her album about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks after the first single when all the young people were riding the whole lil mama wave…
it’s the same thing with clothes.. if someone was to go wearing the whole rockstar thing now, they would be looked at as lames..(not as if they weren’t looked at as lames to begin with)
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:56 am
whatever. plies got less promotion and did 250k in the first week. she got 5 singles and still flop
not everyhting an be blamed on the label
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:14 am
dont be fooled…its Bow Wow in DRAG!! sorta…he/she still dresses like a dude…
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:37 am
What does what she looks like have to do with anything?
Anyway, they definitely timed that wrong. The album and “Shawty get loose” as a second single should’ve been released when “lip gloss” started to slip from the top of the charts.

put naked pics on the internet like Hannah Montana did.
June 23rd, 2008 at 2:43 pm
lil mama is so underrated….

June 23rd, 2008 at 5:53 pm
STFU! Lil mama is fine ass hell to me. 100% CO-SIGNS with #10.
June 24th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
yo Lil mama may have some skills but shes wack… its not promotion that didnt sell…when will people realize that your 1 song may hit and may catch on but that dont mean people really like that shit….and i cant stand watching her on mtvs americas best dance crew…she has no idea wat shes talkin bout on the show and makes me wanna throw my tv out the window whenever she talks on that show
June 25th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Lil mama is hot right now and jive do have weak promotions for rappers Lip gloss came out last summer and her album comes out next year…. she didnt have any promotions but its cool keep going lil mama you will expand cause you trying gurl…for real
June 25th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
or maybe the bitch is just corny as hell, and don’t nobody give a fuck about her wack ass. I mean what she expect anyone with common sense can see a novelty act who got a hit off rapping about lip gloss ain’t gonna have any staying power
June 26th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Lil Mama is very talented, and i respect advocacy to bring back postive female rap. As of now we are in a drought, the old head of my generation, such as Foxy, Kim, Missy, & Eve are out but they are under the radar as we speak. Lil Mama is a breath of fresh air.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:07 am
Im a fn of Lil Mama’s and let mesay this, her albm is definately hot!!! i mean damn compared to Soulja Boi’s cd, her’s is way more interesting to listen to, come on she;s an inovater, aint no one out here like her, um didnt Hurricane Chris come out before Soulja Boi? or is it the other way aound? all the same shit over and over and over, come on, atleast Lil Mama is fresh and aint nobody i my generation like her, we havent had a young hot female MC since like huh? 20 damn years go, which takes me back alittle before my time which was when MC LYTE was out and hot! come on now giv LIL MAMA her props, her damn music videos are even hot! and very much creative. And she even keeps it real, Take a look at her music video “SHAWTY GET LOOSE” VS. “L.I.F.E” this young chick ben through it, and made it succssful and im gad she aint make the same mistake like the rest of these nappy headed fast ass hoes, got they stomach hangin over they puu-nah-knee. She doin sumthin positive and id rather see herall over MTV,BET or whateva channel hen sum played out Soulja Boi.

OMG dude she sucks Im not suprised why it flopped. She talks on ABDC like she is the shit…they should have had Ciara there not Lil Mama and she doesnt even know how to speak correct english I cant understand half the shit she says
July 1st, 2008 at 8:01 pm
nah she just wack.
