I will say it was kinda the label's fault, just becuase I feel that there was something missing from her, but she also needs to realize people don't buy albums as much as they use to.<br/><br/> Besides, it's only her first album. It's expected. Now all she needs to do is jump on a lot of people's songs and do 2 to 3 mixtapes between albums, and her next album should get decent sells. Look at Lil' Wayne, he did it. Although he delivers better with lyrics and make remixes hot. Lil Mama lacks in that category still to me. GIVE US A REASONE TO BUY AN ALBUM LIKE WAYNE DID! @ 12:37 pm and magnificentmeka:

I'm a "youth"...& i wouldnt even think about buying her album. Hell...whenever shes on TV, i grab that remote to see what else is on. I think she gives herself too much credit. If you were that "fresh" & really "the voice of the youth"...woudnt the youth support you? thats not the labels fault at all, she was everywhere…her audience aint interested.

But i got 2 say the blame is on the label... When her album came out i only saw one commercial promoting it. Come 2 think of it all the albums that came out this year, have had bad publicity to me all except for the Tha Carter III & Janet's 'Discipline'... I saw at least 7 commercials each promoting their albums... So maybe the label should've pushed harder to promote her.

Lil’ Mama also need to realize that people aren’t buying albums like that anymore and the main people who would buy her album are under the age of 21 and people around that age don’t buy they “steal”. With things like Limewire who would buy an album when they already heard half of it on the radio and in videos.

More then the record company is the blame.
