Mans is in the same lane Tiller was in before him, and there will be a new one coming up again in the next year or so. Non-singin nikkas been singin since the church days; ain't nothin new.
He's as much a 'singer' as Travis Scott is - more since he actually tries to keep in tune and on-key without help :yeshrug:

Yeah, outside of "Don't", I can't listen to Tiller. Dude sounds unbearable . Call yourself the " R&B Ken Griffey" brehs :what:

But you got a point with 6lack . It like he focuses more on how he sounds to a beat than his vocals.

I tried giving him a chance but his shyt is starting to sound all the same now .


Plus dude got a thing for insufferable women . Always whining about them in his songs.

And her other shyt is fire too! It's been a while since I've listened to anything with the:scusthov: face let alone RnB.

Production on most of what I've heard is crazy and she fukking floats on shyt.

I'd rep you twice if I could.
I'll just rep you back and we'll call it even :myman:

If I remember correctly, I read in an article that an exec in charge of spotify playlists really liked 6lack's song PRBLMS, and put it at the top of a lot of playlist like "new artist, discovery, rap" etc. That's how he blew up. It's also how the industry really understood the new parameters of the game and how being in a playlist can make or break a hit.

this 6lack slander lmao. he isn't that bad to me and it's clear he's in the rapper/pseudo-singer lane. Set your expectations accordingly. He isn't anywhere near as bad of a singer as Giveon or Brent Faiyaz.

My problem is he's marketed as r&b.....takes r&b placements....and all over playlists. thats the beef. he been fukking my whole vybe up for a minute. I've hade enuff of him.

I've never heard breh EVER try to hit a note....I've suffered thru his albums and he has negative vocal range and could care less about key over whatever type of production he's doing whatever he does over :dead:

Boy twitter be lighting his ass UP after a botched live performance :russ:


Props to him for getting 360d up having that weird ass warble voice

Brent faiyaz can hold a tune if he wants. 6lack can't decide how sad OR unamused he wants to TALK over the track

fukk him

Never heard this before.

All 3 singers used profanity in their respective verse.

That alone is one of the biggest problems with modern day so called R&B.

Chris Brown has a couple great RnB tracks that will be never ever be classics because of all the unnecessary cussing..

I cringe these days when I hear that..same as comedians who can't tell a joke without cursing up a storm. Monique for starters :huhldup:
