JBP gonna be mad mad that CB isn’t top 5

Hard to argue against Stevie given the amount of albums. To me I'd go with Marvin Gave personally but Stevie is hard to beat if this becomes a serious debate.

You know I also think Prince has the best albums of anyone on that list but I don't view him traditionally in the r&b lens like the other artists.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Marvin should be number 1
R Kelly is not a top 10 singer
Writer yeah, singer no

Beyoncé is not top 10 neither
James Brown shouldn’t be there
Chaka should be top 10

 

[Yecht]

You can argue the order, but the Top 10 ain't bad at all. I'm honestly shocked

Was about to say the same exact thing. I was ready to argue but I cant

Marvin Gaye #10 for R&B??? fukk out of here here waaay too low.

Based off of that top 10, the top 5 however you want to order it should be Mike, Marv, Marvin, Whitney, Aretha.

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Kells
Beyonce

Post your own then.

When wack lists go viral it’s usually random people that posted their own shyt, where Joe Budden is top 5, or Jay-z is #32 worst rapper ever etc. Never seen a magazine do that.

People are funny critics of lists with their “these 17 people should be top 5, what a wack list”

 

[Controversy]

Prince is wayyyyyy too low

He got too many sons in music to be that low

His sound defined the 80s

 

[Reptile]

If you gone make this thread, you gotta post all the names. @Jaguar93 you better than this doggie.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

What are we judging by?

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Honestly not mad at the top 3 but Prince should take Beyoncé’s spot

 

[Lonj]

Beyonce in the top ten is crazy
