To be honest, the black commercial music platform isn't positive in general and that was purposefully done. There are artists that still sing about love: Kem, Lalah Hathaway, Ledisi, Anthony Hamilton, etc but their music just isn't getting played as much as the "drink and fukk" music we see today. Commercial music sucks.

Truth


Tank and Tyrese both dropped BANGERS within the past two years on some grown and sexy tip but they didn't get the REAL love that they deserved....

R&B joints back in the day made you appeal to a girl's femininity in order to get them guts..... there were primal joints back then too, but there was often love and intimacy thrown into the lyrics as well....


A lot of shyt they gets play on the airwaves now is straight raunch...... it has a lane, but shouldn't be the sound that represents R&B

The death of love songs in R&B being mainstream created a shift in the way relationships are carried out here in the US.

Sooo many of our people are raised by the media. Instead of songs about love and heartache we got songs about sex and drugs and being petty. Music today is so superficial to me, maybe Im just getting :old:

this new generation dont care about unbridled love... all they care about is smashing thots and tipign strippers and wonder why this generation popping b*stard children out more than ever... smh

Yep. Ain't no one that I know gets engaged under 28 no more. Virtually everyone younger than me who has kids, have kids with a person they hate OOW.
