Avant - R&B Is Becoming Too Much Like Hip Hop, And Sounds The Same

[darealvelle]

No but you can still drop quality R&B
Tell me this shyt is hot

song is trash, like he trying to cater to 19 year olds

modern r&b is basically singing rap. and all they sing about is getting high and running trains. this is r&b

1. Are they the only ones?
2. You think they don't like R&B?

They aren't the only ones.

They like R&B, but they are going to buy Adele's album or Sam Smith's albums before they buy anything from a black R&B artist who doesn't make music to try and get white dollars.

Why do you think this is?

I feel R&B is too rap influenced currently but it doesn't have to be limited to what you posted(altho I love that song)

shyt like Auguat Alsina or Jeremih latest are prime example of hitting perfect on all bases.

shyt like Kellz latest & Tanks is the downside

Why do you think this is?

That everybody want to be a nikka, but nobody wants to be a nikka syndrome.

Why support Jill Scott who doesn't make her music specifically for that crossover success and white dollars when you can support your own like Adele, who "sounds black"? That's what white folks do.

I agree with you, im just saying a lot of modern r&b music is lacking soul and creativity. You also see a lot clones as well. Not much individuality in the genre.

 

[Easy-E]

Adele movin' hella units with ballads, doe.

I think that has to do with ppl of all ages (not just teenybopers) buying her records.

I think that has a lot to do with it as well, sir.

R&B becoming a dead genre hurts me more than hip hop dying imo.

It's gone from making love to our women to I wanna jam my dikk through your throat.

Put it in my Mouth by Akinyele can be flipped into a rap/singing track so easily today.

 

[Osmosis]

August Alsina, Jeremih, Lanez, Party, Abel when he isn't doing pop, DVSN, even Kehlani and Tinashe

R&B is fine

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

I didn't say she was r&b...I said she movin' units selling ballads.

Why can't anybody else move units selling ballads?

this thread is about r&b.

You don't listen to R&B
